ROWLAND HILL FEBTWAL.—The eighty-fifth
anniversary of the opening of Surrey Chapel was cele-
brated last night by a numerous social gathering at the
chapel. The speaking part of the proceedings was pre-
ceded by the performance of some sacred music, in the
course of which Miss Edith Wynne sang the lifessica solo,
" I know that my Redeemer Wrath." The Rev. Newman
Hall, who occupied the chair in the absence of the Earl of
Shaftesbury, gave a short history of the chapel and its
auxiliaries in the shape. of Sunday and Ragged
Schools, street missionaries, week lay lectures, and
sick and poor relieving funds, all of which
he said contribute largely towards the spiritual and
secular wants of a crowded and indigent population.
Rowland Hill, who bequeathed half his estate to support
these institutions, and purchase the freehold of the
chapel, began his ministration in it 86 years ago, but his
bequest was forfeited by mortmain: and seven years back
a fund was established called the ' Rowland Hill Fund,"
to complete the wishes of his will, and prevent the
edifice being converted into a circus, a theatre, or a gin
palace. The fund now amounts to 7,0001., but consider-
ably more will be required, and hence these meetings.
Hiscongregation fortbe most part oonsisted of City clerks and
warehousemen, artificial flower and shirt makers,
labourers, costa:mongers, and small tradesmen, and with-
out foreign aid t>iey could not complete the contemplated
work. Mr. A. H. Layard, M.P., Mr. Charles Gilpin,
MY., and several other gentlemen, including some Amen-
can ministers, delivered addresses. Mr. Layard made a
pawing reference to the present demoralising state of
matters in the House of Commons, and the Rev. Newman
Hail apologised for this, as he knew there were not a few
persons of social standing t who were inclined to
uphold the govern ent. e meeting resulted in a liberal
addition to building fund.
