THE DISPENSAUY SUNDAY. —lt will betseen on
referring to our advertising columns, that final
arrangements have been made by the Foresters
of the Stonrbridge District for holding a "Die.
pensary Sunday," on November 16th- A meet-
ing was held at the Old King's Road fun, High.
street, on Tueeday night last, which was at.
tended by delegatee front nearly the whole of
the Courts of the District. The greatest unani-
mity characterised the whide proceedings, and
the enthusiastic wanner in which the question
has been taken up, augurs well for the success
of this—the first Stourbridge Dispensary Sun-
day. The delegates expressed theft's:fives as
very grateful to the Rev. IL Sharma, for the
kind way in which he has met them in this
matter, by placing his church at their disposal,
and giving a special sermon on the occasion ;
and also to Mr. S. Siwtus and the choir for the
tender of their voluntary services. Iu fact,
everywhere the original promoters of the beue-
volent project have met with the heartiest sym-
pathy and co-operation, and should Jupiter
Pluvius prove propitious on the day, we doubt
not that hundreds of those who are not Fores-
ters will attend the service EMI contribute their
quota to the good work. For the information
of those who are desirous attending the service.
we may state that it is intended, after the For
esters are seated, to aduk the general public to
all the vacant places.
