BAPTIST eIIWEL- -The foundation stone of a chapel wan
laid in this parish last Tuesday, in conneeion with the
Baptist Western Evangelization Associatissn. The work
has been largely promoted and assisted by Mr. C. 11.
Mayo, of the Manor Fano ; he given tha freehold of
the site, an excellent plot of land, abutting on the
highway, an.l situated where it will be convenient for the
parishes of Pidillehinton and PiddktrentiPsle. For about
six years preaching in connection with this Association
has been c ~,,, Meted by Mr. [twin and his coadjutors- at
first in the open air. then in a cottage, next in a cart.
house fitted up an a ilieeting.romu, and ere long now they
will assemble in a substantial and neat chard capable of
seating gOU persons. The proiseeslib.,,i at the laying of the
foundation stone were very simple, hitt a large number of
the villagers gathered to witness; the ceremony. The
stone was suspended from a tripod at a corner of the
site, and a few ilags added brightness and an air of
festivity to the seems. There were present —Rev. It. dames,
of Y,v.*li, Rey, j. Bailer, of Weymouth, Rev. T. Neave,
of Ihsrchniter, Mr. Juni', of Pisidletrenthisle, Mr.
Christopher, of Ifiroaslmayne, Mr. Bartlett, of Crewkerne,
Mr. Vincent, of Dorchester, a goodly party of friends
from Dorchester, and many of the neighbourhood. The
Proceedings opened with singing a hymn, which was fol-
lowed by prayer by Mr. Pitman, of Yeovil, and then the
Rev. .I. Bailey read part of the IPith Psalm. Mr. Davis
presented to Mr. C. 11. Mayo, of The Manor Farm,
Pidilletrentlible, a silver towel, with which to lay the
corner stone of the new chapel lie thanked Mr. Mayo
for his kindness and liberality towards the work, and
trustssl that God's blessing would rest upon him. The
trowel was elegantly Chafed. and bore the following
inscription,-

Presented to
CHARM lIRNIIV MAYO,

Mr. Mayo then spread the mortar, anti the atone was
lowered by Mr. builder, and his assistants, upon
whii.ll the stone was declared ittith" in the name of the
Father, awl of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." He
(Mr. Mayo) briefly expressed the gratification with which
he took: part in these prowteliims, awl his shilin interest
in the work.—'llie Itev. T. Soave sag he had been
unexpectaslly askel to address thetn, ani: although he was
n, t. in any mesect very intimately emu iated with the

sufficient interest awl mesociatiou with Mr !Weis in his
general work MA to giVellinlyeey 1111101 pleasurein assuming
the responsibility now laid upon him, and to offer a few
remarks on that hteresting awl itu).ortant occasion. It
was to hint a great gratification that the friends in Fiddle.
trenthide and the neighbourhood had deemed it necessary
to erect there a house of Cot, and had shown their interest
and sympathy with Mr. Davis by cheerfully undertaking
to provide the means whereby that work should be
succealdull. lie congratulate 1 Mr. Davis on the affection
manifested towanls him lot the people and by the general
sympathy shown in the district in his work by all classes
of religionists, leoli Nonconformists and Churchmen. Ile
(Mr. Davis) hail made friends among all classes and all
denominations; he congratidated hint upon the position he
hail gained, and prayed God would prosper I in this
effort, and that he might live for many years to unfold the
riche,' of Christ, and publish the gospel in all its
simplicity and feline... It was a great satisfaction to
those who had experieweel the power of the gospel to
come front the different towns in the neighbourhood to
' witness the beginning of this chapel, within the walls of
6 which the blessings which make life glad, lift up the heart
atoll all the sorrows and cares of life, and ensure a
glorion; hereafter, shall be made known to all who
assemble there. That house was to be built ter the glory
of God and for the preaching of the everlasting gospel 14
6 all its simplicity and purity. lie knew enough of Mr.
Davis and the society with which lie is connected to
feel that their great anxiety was for the proclamation
of the gospel there awl iu the villages around ; and
r in the fitters, as hi the poet it would lei mode known by
by Mr. Davis faithfully and earnestly. He (Mr. Davis)
was not there to retire:wet to g soccial manner any

1 win the hearts of the people to Christ and then let alp.

; would lie a sac,;;al pleasure to Mr. Davis if any who gave
their limuls to (me in that plate connected themselves

I gratifying to tee the temptation stone laid by a gentleman
who was not a dissenter hut ii member of the Chur.•ll of
