was on the condition that they raised the amount by that

an extension of time till next Good Friday—Mr. J. Bash
next addressed the meeting, and congratulated the
Dorchester friends on the happy knack they had of taking
things very coolly. If they had • large number at tea and
not enough provision for them they were very well pleased,
and if thefhad • small number and plenty left,it was all
the same to them—(laughter and applause). He was glad
that they were and hoped he should live to

the pleasure it gave Mm to be present, and said he hoped
they were there as honest men. He trusted they would
live honest lives, pay their debts, and go home to heaven
at last—(applause). They had a small debt left on the
chapel and those with whom they had to deal wen con-
vinced they intended paying it off. It was a matter of

been erected for the worship of God, and although it had
been an uphill work be trusted it would be finished, and
that Gods blessing would rest upon it He congratulated
them on their present position, and concluded a capital

had been carried on during the past year in connection
with their society. lb,ooo members bad been added to the
church, there had been an increase of over 4,000 in con-

over 30,000 on trial, for admission to society. He
there was a bright future in store for the church

the importance of greater unity among all Christians.—

by speaking of the Pentecostal day of ble:im

revivals on account of the excitement, arguing it was
morally impossible to have a conversion without excite-

life when he felt the burden of his sins, and came to
Christ and obtained their pardon ? He was convinced
there was much excitement on the occasion of Peter so
faithfully and powerfully preaching the sermon which led
to the conversion of the 3,000 souls; and he urged them
all to pray for a similar blessing to come upon their church
and upon the world, remarking on the great work which

(Mr. Allen) thought that if all the speakers had given such

have done much better—(laughter and applause). •The
meeting was closed with the usual votes of thanks. The

FORDINGTON BENEFIT CLUB ANNIVERSARY.

The morning of Whit Tuesday was ushered in by
merry peals from the bells of St. George's Church,
rordlngton, and by the hoisting of the flag on the tower.
This has been the custom for many years, as on that
day is annually held the club festivaL But the rejoicings
connected with this parochial friencU,y society are of the
most happy. harmless, and interesting nature. Com-
mencing at 4.30 p.m., the members assembled at the
Schoolroom, and marched in procession to the Church,
being headed by the vicar (the Rev. H. Moule), the Rev.
M. Y. Evans, Mr. W. Dixon, and others. Reaching the
church service was held. Evening prayers were read by
the Rev. M. F. Evans, and the sermon was preached by
the Vicar, the hymn commencing "To view the
wondrous earth we love," being sung before the discourse.
The rev. gentleman selected as his text the 6th St. John,
v. 27 -" Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but
for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which
the Son of Man shall give unto you." The rev, gentle-
man said that after their last anniversary he was asked
to have his sermon printed and circulated, but, after con-
sideration, he thoaght the better course would be to
re-preach it on that occasion. The rev, gentleman, in
the course of his remarks, said there was nothing in
Scripture which would encourage them to be idle.
Sloth would be likely to bring them to be dependent on
others for their support. They were there taught the
wisdom and profit of labour, and also of making the
provision which this society afforded them. He limed
them carefully to fulfil their obligations, and maintain
the love of the brethren; but at the same time he
exhorted them to look beyond their present necessities,
and to lay hold upon eternal life.
After the service the members reformed in procession,
and marched from the church round the green, and thence
to the school-room, for tea. The attendance was very
large, over 400 being present, but the arrangements were
all -that could be denied, and everything was done to
ensure the comfort of all. The room had been nicely
adorned with evergreens and flowers, and presented
quite an animated appearance. Mr. S. R. Harris, of The
Nurseries, Fordington, had kindly sent • quantity of
choice flown and plants, and these were disposed in
vases over the various tables. The ladies who presided at
the trays were ;—Mrs. A. Groves, KW B. Lock,
Mrs. Mink, Mrs. Caen, Mrs. Wills, Miss Harvey. Miss
Beardmore, Mies L Ilamori, Mrs. Fenner, Mrs R. Hunt,
Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. Orchard. Miss Lancaster, Mrs. H.
%wombs. Miss Lock Mrs. Mallandine, Mrs. E. Pitfield,
Mrs. Miller Mrs. I. Mitchell, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. C.
Framptoa, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. S. Harris, Miss Millar,
Miss M. Lock, Miss Orchard, Mrs. Coffin, Mrs. Tills), and
Yrs. Northover.
During the tea the choir added much te the pleasure of
thus mumbled by singing pieces in admirable
ryle, being ably accompanied on the harmonium by Mr.
H. Norman, the organ Grace before and after tea was
sung be the large assembly, being led by the choir and
organist Alter the tea a meeting was held in the lame
room, and among those present were—The Vicar and
Mrs. Motile, the Rev. IL C. G. Moule, the Rev. M. F.
Evans, the Rev. W. Barnes, the Rev. J. G. Edwards, Mr.
I. Steele, Mr. and Mrs. Wxon, Dr. and Mrs. Robinson,

secretary), Mr. J. Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. R. Hunt, Mr.

The meeting commenced by singing the hymn—
Hallelujah

light unapproachable mcllna thee around,
Thou, in unchangeable glory abiding,
Far In the depths of eternity biding.
_ Mott art our God r

The Re;7llA-NDLII—T ii-OUIZ explained that the words
had been written by his father to music used in the
ancient Jewish Synagpgue. It was very nicely rendered.
and at the close the Vicol said before COMIUSOCiII%the
active business of the evening, be must express the op*
that the prayer contained in the words just sung had
ascended from many of their Warta. He continued that
he was thankful that he had been enabled to wend
another evening in this happy =Dila and concluded by
asking the Secretary, Mr. Pearce to read the report of the
Society.
Mr. T. A. PEARCE, who has succeeded his late father,
as hon. secretary of the Society, and who was most
warmly and cordially received then read as follows: -
"It is your secretary's duty, as all are swats to present •
statement of the moiety's position each Whit-Tuesday. In the
present case, my friends, you will excuse me If I em as brief as
poadble. For your kind and cordial reception I heartily thank
300, but I well know that you will remember bow to myself
this, my first appearance as secretary, must be deeply moving,
and you will kindly spare me the task of saying many words.
Early in the present year an Act called 'The Primdlg kocletles
Act of 1876 'came Into operation, and, although it contains
many important clauses, yet, as fates relates to the working
of our society, we shall not he materially affected by It. As
regards the numb.' of our society, we reckon 44 benefit mem-
bers Of theme live have joined um since the last festival, and
of those who belonged to the benefit list last Whiteuntide two
have been removed by death. I may hers mention that an
lmpottantslterstion has lately been made In our death pay, or
rather the sum paid to the relative on the death of • member
-which is Increased from L 1 to ZS. This increase has produced
satisfactory results, by Inducing men who were formerly, in
consequence of the sotallnees of our death pay, unwilling to
join is., to enlist under our banner. We feel justified In
haring taken this step front the tact that our reserve forces
in the Dorchester Savings Bsak-of which I shall 'peak
pesantly-ars steadily but surely on the increase. During
ths past year eight of our number have been on the sick list;
a larger average than usual. We cannot much wonder at this,
as the year generally has been one of exceptional sickness and
trial. We have, as for BO many years past, to thank our
honorary members for their aid ; and all the morass it is so
willingly as well as liberally given. An old saying tells us that
'He gives twice Omens quickly.' We may as trusty gay 'They
give many toLmas who give williegly.“ The bosomy members
outecri amounted toltl4l4ls. Our IBM Bank deposiLto
which referred Nat now, shows • setfactoey increase.
Last Whitsuntide it stood it £447 Ta It now amounts to
£375 10s. led.; an Morelia of more than LW. This steady and
vigorous growth of our &point is largely dee to the fact that
our host member' subscriptions are strictly devoted to this
object. To this !statement of our position I shall not attempt
to add any remark. I will only say, CIS the we hand, that I
ear society on Its sound and vod buns, in a
u=rB:sulaW point of view, and earnestly treat tW its rank will
be gamily augmented year by year. And on the other hand,
lie me my for myself, that in seseptiag the ones of secretary
to the enolsty I accept a duty with the seems its
importance. It is the will of God that I el=" of
retum to this
place se my residence, and I am very glad, thanker, to have
this imam of showing my election for the place. Again I thank
you kr year kindoem and ask your eamplasee of this my dret
Interim report."'
The report was received with great r
The company were then favoured &larn 'exquisitely
played duet for the piano, the performers being Mr If
Norman and one of his pupils (Hiss Wood). At a later
stage of the evening Kiss Wood and Miss Gawler on
the piano, and Mr. Norman on the harmonium, played a
tzlo which was a rich musical Meet. It was • masterly
performance, and the velem, was My greet Ray.
Handley Houle in the mane of We remarks spoke of the
pleasure it had afforded him of Seeming to the meek.
The Rev, H. Moms then asked tho-Rev. W. Samost,
of cams, to read some of his inimitable poems in the
Done dialect The Dorset bard was received vrita
manifestations of *MOM and the pieces be selected
were both gay and pallet&
The Rev. HANDL= C. H. Moots then addressed the
meeting. Speaking to those assembled as his deer
friends Ise very heartily thanked them for bp kindly
ready*/ bier. After being away so much he wee sane-
times led to fest on Ids return that he felt len at
bat each roolteker as ire had received had driven an
tbeee thought, out of his head, and that evening be fall

thoroughly at home again. He claimed to represent two
of his dear brothers, Frederick, who might be looked
upon as
he asthe. founder of these gatherings, and Charles,
had hid good-bye in London that morning.
bringing with him ( speaker) his good wishes for the
mows of the dey—(•pnlause). His brother Arthur in
China would have his thoughts directed to Fordington on
Whit-Tuesday,and another brother, (leorge,who was on his
return journey from Chinn, They did not know exactly
where he was on the ocean ; he might be near the shores of
old England, or he might be three weeks' roger off, but
wherever he was he would be sure to think of them and
their Whit-Tuesday tea. After referring to the ffset that
it was nearly 50 years ago that his father came to reside
among them, and to the tie which bound them to the
place, he expressed his thankfulness that he had been
enabled to pay another hurried visit to his home, to be
present at the Fordington Club test He then described
his journey from the great university town of
Cambridge, which he left Just after midnight last,
arriving in London in the stillness of the morning.
He left the great Metropolis at six a.m., and the
rev. gentleroanoke of the delight the varied scenery
afforded him. The sea at Southampton was particularly
cheering, as at Cambridge they were SO miles from it, and
the sight of the water reminded him of home, where by
taking a three-milee' walk they could enjoy one of the
most delightful sea views to be seen anywhere; but the
most cheering scene of all was the dear old tower of
Ferdington, with the Sag floating from it. (Applause).
He then mentioned the Joy of cow to his home again
true (for it was his home, deep and and spoke of the
happiness of that life which was filled with the joy of one
day reaching home. He should have to hurry beck to Cam-
bridge by the first train in the morning, and this
reminded hint of his home there, and he trusted that
many of those there assembled were hastening to that
home where they should "go out no more." On that happy
occasion it was cheering to know that many had gone
there, among them • dear old friend of theirs, but who
" having pared away yet speaketh." The rev, gentleman
then referred in touching terms to the lose the society
and themselves had sustained in the death of their Leta
beloved friend, Mr. T. W. Pearce. Speaking of their
gathering the rev, gentleman said it called forth the
warmest feelings of friendship, as among them he could
r so many neighbours and friends. He then referred
to the he witnessed en Sabbath evenings at his
College Chapel at Cambridge, when between 500 and
MO young gentlemen in their white surplices were
assembled for public worship, but even in that there was
not so many heartstirring scenes u in that assembly, and
this was made more delightful as they had some
exquisitely sweet music,—very sweet because it was home
grown. (Applause). The rev, speaker then referred to
the Christian air there was about this gathering, and is
Christians they could not shut the thought of Christ out
of the question. The society 'itself had • Christian
beginning, as it was started at a time which many then
present could look back upon with pleasure and delight,
when religion was reviving. He trusted as that was
the case that the Fordington Club would always be to
them like Joshua's atone—a "stone of witness. Thom
benefit Clubs reminded us of the practical way in
which we might show our sympathy for each ether. They
must try to live for each other, and they may do this if
they liked, and he reminded them that those who live for
others will get joy here, and the fulness of Joy hereafter.
It was the spirit of the world to live every man for him-
self, and then to stop—but unselfishness was the
principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ The rev.
gentleman referred to little acts which were often
known as acts of rudeness, that was nothing more than
selfishness. Looking round the room his deepest thought
of thankfulness was that he was permitted to stand there
as the representative of his dear father and mother,
which reminded him of home love. If they did not love
home beet they would not learn to love those around
them. The rev, gentleman referred to an Interesting
Incident which occurred at college, when he met as aged
gentleman, with whom his father was on friendly terms
when at the same college some 55 years ago, and concluded
a capital address amid applause.
At the conclusion of Mr. Handley Monies address,
Milton's version of Psalm cxxxsi.,
" Let us with a gladsome minti.
Praise the Lord for he is kind.
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful ever sure,"
' Was sang to music of Mr. Monies, now pretty well-known,
. after the singing of which
; The VICAI spoke a few words of thanks to his nephew,
, Mr. Evans, for the pains he had taken in making the
; arrangements
theerits
forthe meeting, and to all who, whether in
tea tables, or flowers, or in any other way
arisOiandly and zealously helped. He spoke also with
. great approbation of the sentiment which his ion had so
well expressed of Use happiness being missed In the
, selfish man, and found only by him who in the love and
; fear of God makes it his chief aim, to promote Use Aappi-
nets of others. He hoped the day was not far distant
when in these times of progress men would 'vase alto-
• gether from she self indulgence of drink, interfering, as
' it so frequently does, with the comfort and happiness of
I families and with the public good; and would with real
; earnestness of purpose seek that greatest of earthly
. blessings true domestic happiness, combined with right
, union and good fellowship with neighbours.
The meeting was shortly after brought to a close with
; the doxology and benediction.
