GLOUCESTER CHAPEL ANNIVERSARY.
The anniversary tea In °assertion with the shove
plea of worehip took place on Wednesday afternoon
in the schoolroom, about 150 sitting down to an
excellent repast. After tea a meeting was held, under
the presidency of the Rev. J. Wood. who was imp-
Mt!by the Revs. W. Lewis, Trafford, Smith,
W (Dorchester), end Waugh (Portbead). After
the hymn—" Come let um join our Cheerful Songs,"
had been sung, the Rev. W. Lewis dieted prayer.
The 'ethers —" Rejoice in the Lord" was then
creditably song by the choir, Mr. Roger. preaidiag at
the barn 'alum and Mr. Crocker conducting.
Tharjeuresitig, in epeslos the proosedlogs, expressed
kis pleasure at seeing so many present, and et being
so well supported by his brother minister.. When
they came together on those nocaelons a feature for
gratification was that friends from other congre-
gations cams among them, and be hope' they
would cootinue to do so in the future.
He bad alwsys been desirous of weing this feature
more developed, and he hoped that they would work
together shoulder to shoulder, and to mobs the joy
of others their jey. They hai their venerable friend,
Mr. Smith, there—(applause)—and if he would give
them a few pastoral words, their brethren would be
ready to follow.
The Roy. Mr. liwrroi expressed his plasma's at
being present, and said he thought tea meetings must
be good because theft liplecopolian friends, who used
to look down upon them, hal adopted them. He
wished they would adopt more of their doctrines, and
they most pray that some day they would. They had
met together to encourage each other, and he hoped
their watts( would prove beneficial to all.
Another anthem, "I lift up mine eyes nate the
hills, having been Rani,
The Rev. Mr. Wares, addreselsg the maths, said
he was glad to come there from the ortUyisg district
to the Dorset Metropolis, and to hear the -cathedral
choir. Hie hided bad alluded to the EPi
°owing eosin of their doctrines, and thoZritt.6bry
might retina the complimeet as to the choir. (Laugh-
ter.) He °Garroted.. ated them on haying such a nisi
Sunday Schoolroom, and be believed they had. good
school, which he understood had very much increased.
He alluded to the special day of prayer last week for
Lb. Sunday School work, and he was sure such a
spontaneous appeal to the Almighty made throughout
the ohnrob must bring down a blaming on their Sun-
day Schools. In England no leas than MOO coc-
ooned with their schools had joined the church, and
as the young must take the places of those who are
now grey-beaded, he urged them to ask God's bane-
&aloe os their Sunday School work.
Mies Freemen then sang the solo 'Come unto Me
all that labour," and was deservedly applauded.
The RAC T. Nuys then delivered an earner.,
stirring, and eloquent address. Alter • few prelimin-
ary remarks, be said he might have selected the
Franchise question or the keeping of the li nue of
Lords, but as these had been somewhat prominent
topics of late he would leave their further discussion to
the opening of Parliament to-morrow, expreeeing •
hope that rooms might attend the second effort of
Mr. Gladetas• to eve the franchise to two millions of
our fellow subject.. But he was retniedel by the
cirrometaaces under which they had met that there
were higher thieve than the Franchise, and even the
House of Lade, important as these might be. sod be
would say a few words not on the Hones of horde but
on the Lord's Hares Although their chairman
had sot been long amongst them they had learnt to
love him, and he was sure that he had the good
wishes and prayers of hie brethren. In choosing
what shape he should give his remarks that evening,
be thought that no topic could be more appropriate
than the consideration cf the work In which they were
engaged, the times In which they were celled to
work, and the spirit of hopsfulnese, which ought
to encourage them In all their work. As to
the work in which they were engaged, it was
simply the preaching ani teething the Gospel of the
grans of God. It was the familiar story, trot happily
