The 1444460/11 chosen for the occasion was St. Luke
xviii. The anthem (by Blisd, "Cry out and Shout."
W. 4 exce.dingly well rendered, and reflected much
credit on ell who took part in it. The text was taken
trunk St. John all., part of verse 21, ' Sir, we would
are Jesus." The poecher belt up Jeans ste the Tree
Philanthropidt, as the Ors d ,shepherd, as our High
Priest and Atonemeut, etr.wii.g the willingness and
power of Jesus to be the Savi ur of all who came to

appropriately followed the preacher's remarks, as

Marching to the happy laud;
There with rapture 1..0 may stand,
Prelates evermore.
Were a che pilgrim band." ,
The evening service corn rieneed at six OVIOO,L, at
which time the little chapel was thronged with eager
and int-rested listeners. "Children of Jerusalem"

was very manifest it was none the less beautiful for
being td;° we ihould say by the in inner it was NM,
that it must be an old favourite The fiat Leeson was

further dilating .ds the bur, eon laud the love of the
bankn-bearer, be c eidluded a most excellent and
heart-ea chiug discourse by most earnestly urging
all present who bad not been to Jane for salvation
to come to Him without delaying any longer. The
last few lints of the closing h) mu seemed to re-echo
the preacher's remarks as the children sweetly sang—
"ltiw th, glory of Gad was reveal, d on earth
Ily the star, that were shining at Jams' birth;
An I those orbita .4 light in Heaven's own blue,

Both servic ,3 were attended with very full emigre-
gatiouvl the evening one being filled to overflowing.

and were liberally reap at lel .41. blies A. Griffin
very creditably presidel at the ham 'plum, and
conducted the mudical portion of the sere ic s. This being
her first attempt she is to he congratulated on her
success and the proficiency of thows under her charge.
'rhe little ones sang out nobly, arid 440414 the life of the

Lambagreen Sun lay School, took place on Wednesday;
tea wan provided for the acholare at four o'clock In
the chapel. and for the pubic at 5.30 p.m. when

amusements were entered into and enj.iyed until
the meeting commenced, which was presided over by
Mr. W. Waterman, ..f Broadstone. On the platform

' Collett, Wye, and Prolemor Waterman, The meeting
began with singing
" Wake Vie song of joy of gladness."
The Rev. S. LlTria Chen engaged in prayer; after
which the antheus •• Cry out and Shout" was

creditably rendered.
Mr. Losu waa then called on to read the report,
which was moat encouraging. The number of scholars
the books are 32, and seven teachers • there is a
Bible close, conducted by Mr. W. Waarman every
Sunday morning. At the be.rinning of the year there

the children, and for heating the chapel in the
winter. The collections on Sunday amounted to
El S. 71.
The CliellUl4l4 then g ive his opening address, which
was in est earnest and practical. In speaking on the
subject of hie Bible Call, be said nothing gave him
greater pleasure than coming every Sunday morning
to eon lurt it. He then explained in what way he
arranged their subjects, and cordially invited others to
meet with them,
The hymn "Children of Jerusalem "wee then rung.
Mr. Lava, in his &Ikea', gave a retrospective view

Mr. o.u.i.grr, in a short address, dwelt on the words
" II w shall we escape if we negloct no greats salva-
tion." In speaking to the teachers, he urged them to
keep these words always before them—"Lo, I ar
with youalways, "&c.
"Go, Work in My Vineyard." was then sung,
which the CU*IIMAI called on Me. NTII to address
the meeting, in which he said general knowledge was
good, but Scriptural knowledge was much better. He
then enforced on the teacher, that their aim should be
to bring their charges to the Saviour, 'None but
Jesus?

Profes.s ,r Wariest tn wis than csllo I on to speak,
and on in trolucilig liitneell psi I the previous speaker
had taken tho subjeA be int,n led to dwell on. How-
ever, he fully proved that h wan nit at a loss for
interesting anstt.ir. 1., speaking of the Christian
Church, he forcibly relerr I to tile Jewinh perse ution,
the Pagan persecution, ivid the It nusit persecution,
sl•, the persecution of the present lay, the spirit of
infidelity. Look at Switz.rlan I, where Miss Booth
with her helpers were driven out of the country because
of the spirit of infidelity. Ile then advised the parents
present ti well acquaint theins dves with Biblical
knowledge, and gave an account of a Bible class in
Wales he once bed the pleasure of la wting with. In
a few well-chosen remarks be urged them to take care
of themselves by c instantly studying God's Word.
"Slough often here we're weary" having been emir,
Mr. FIT In a few words, spoke on "Thu Spirit and
the Bride say come" and "Men ought always to
pray." In conclusion, he earnestly entreated his
hearers to trust in the blood of Christ for their
eternal salvation.
Tits lle. S Ltrrts then, in gathering up • few of
the p3inte that had alrea iy been dwelt on, gave a
moat interesting address, "Unity," also diversity of
operations, were fully dwelt on after congratulating
those present on having such an efficient superintendent
and leader of their Bible Class, he most kindly and
Nympathetically spoke to the children on the words,
" God is our Father" at the conclusion of which votes
of thanks, &c • were ace irded to those who bad taken
part to wake the undertaking successful. The meeting
which wan attended by • large and appreciative
audience, than separated in the usual way, all having
spent a pleasant and instructive evening. We must
not omit to mention the valuable services of Mies
Griffen who presided at the harmonium.

OAS OR NO OAS AND DARKNESS!
To the Editor.

Sir.—Having to call at Wimborne on bueinees during
the pist week, and having occasion to stay there as
usual for the night, I was glad (ludas', I was a im-
pelled) to stay indoors after sunset, al the dente dark.
nese out of doors made It imp sulhle for me (somewhat
• stranger) to find my way about. Os the following day,
having to make up the time lost on the previous even.
lug, I remarkel to one of my customers—" How
much better it would be if the town was properly lit
up of an evening." He °wily replied by telling me
it was quite a usual thing in Wituborne at this season
of the year. Bat why so, he could not explain. If I
were certain that the same state of darkness would
exist when the time trrives for rns to be this way
again, I should mat c,rteinly make arrangements to
stay in another t ma, where I could pursue my
brininess without being hindered by " Wimborne
darkness," and I should most certainly rec .mtnend
other commercials to follow my exempla. I should
reluctantly stay in another town when this way, as
the r..il way connections are convenient, ant my hotel
accommo lotion replete. I am also very fond of
occamontlly &gelatine the ssrvicm at the Minster
when time perinits.—Yours, &c.,

Tuvzusa.
