The services at the Union Chapel at

tendance every Sunday, all the room will

asm shown by all who attend. 1t is
point towards which large number may
be seen vending their way every Sunday
afternoon from a radius Of one or two
miles. 1t shows what scan. be done by
pluck and perseverance in good cause.
Ii has not only caused deep interest by
those within an easy travelling distance,
but tho Sc far outside, and their cordial
support and cooperation in any thing
they can do for it. Certainly Hawley-
vile never ought to be what it was be-
fore, without religious services Of any
kind. There should be a gradual but
certain uplifting of it's citizens and a
deeper interest shown in the moral and
spiritual welfare of both old and young.
