Miss Foster contributed songs, Mrs. Wall two sketches and a friend of Mrs. Wall two events. Dancing and games were much enjoyed and the evening passed away most pleasantly. The Rev.

A splendid tea was provided, to which the youngsters did full justice. Games and fun, with music followed tea. Book prizes were presented by Mrs. Sanderson, and money prizes, for regular attendance at services and practices, were kindly presented by Mr. C. R.
