WEBB STREET SUNDAY SCHOOL.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. • The anniversary services of the Webb Street Primitive Methodist Sunday School, held in the Town Hall yesterday, passed off very successfully. ■ A considerable number of people attended the morning and evening services, and the greater part of the available seating accommodation at the Town Hall was occupied at tho final evening service.. On each occasion music was a prominent feature. Some of the prettiest items were contributed by .a_ ohoir of children, specially trained by Mr. Ernest Dawson. The little ones sang with capital expression, and their complete success was creditable alike to themselves aiid to their instructor. Beautiful choral selections were rendered by the choir of the Webb Street Church,, strengthened for the occasion, by tho inclusion of a number of outside vocalists, who had volunteered their services. Volunteer assistance was also lent by the members of a special orchestra, which, during the services, played a number of selections of great beauty. Prior to the commencement of tho afternoon service, tho Central Mission Band played a half-hour programmo of sacred music, outside the Town Hall. Addresses were delivered at the morning service by the Rev. Wv S. Potter, and in the afternoon by the Rev. A. Dowdney. In the evening, Mr. C. H. Poole, M.P., spoke, taking for his subject part of a verse in tho Book of Proverbs: "My son, eat thou honey, for it is good." Appetite, physical, mental, and spiritual, said tho speaker, was ono of the Creator's best blessings. Under proper control appetite was the natural incentive to human action and endeavour. But the sweets of life were not to be attained by any short cut. Anything worth having had to be fought for; there must bo some effort to get it. The Sunday School, Mr. Poole accepted as providing a necessary satisfaction for tho healthy spiritual appetite ,of tho youthful mind.
