Harvest Thanksgiving
The Band
On Sunday September 24th, the Princess Royal Band gave
a rendering of sacred music in the village at 3 o'clock in aid of Mr. Charles
Thomas, who was injured three years ago in the Colliery, and has been an invalid
ever since, when the collection realised five guineas. While disapproving of
Sunday practices and Sunday concerts of a non-charitable kind, we think that
all devout people must have been glad to see the Band undertake this work of
kindness, and of charity, and must rejoice with them at the results obtained.
Missionary Meetings
The Schools
The Builder is getting on with his work, and has received £100 as payment
on the Architect's first certificate. The infants have been moved temporarily
to the Assembly Room on Sun Tump, giving up their rooms to the mixed school.
Notwithstanding this, there has been much overcrowding in the Mixed School,
but the end of the old Schoolroom is being made ready as a Class room, to relieve
the pressure. On Sundays, the boys meet in their usual places and the girls
seem quite comfortable at the Assembly Room. It seems likely now that everything
will go forward without a hitch till the completion of the work, but the Managers
feel it all too probable that another Bazaar will be required next summer to
clear off the debt.
