CHAPEL ANNIVERSARY.—The 37th Anniversary
of the Methodist New Connexion Chapel was
held on Sunday last, when three impressive and
eloquent sermons were preached—morning and
evening by Mr. Bailey, of Coseley ; that in the
afternoon by Mrs. Beavington, of Stonrbridge.
Mr. Bailey's subject in the evening was Genesis
3rd chap. 9th verse, " Where art thou ;" a most
enchanting discourse, describing the Garden of
Edon where the enquiry was made, its situation,
its beauty, its unsullied perfection. It was truly
in the grand sublime poetic Miltonic style.
Then, the convincing telling language in which
he described the power of conscience in showing
Adam his nakedness, his guilt, his sin; then the
application—" Where art thou?" not what is thy
rank or position, thy refinement, or intellectual
attainments, but thy relationship to God, thy
fears, thy hopes. For a full hour and a quarter
a somewhat large audience was held in death-like
suspense. Collections in advance of last year.
