Sunday School Jubilee.

(Commuciated.) The Primitive Methodist Sunday School Anniversary was a great success last Sunday. The services were held in the Public Hall at 11 a.m. 230 p.iu, and 6 80 p.m. The services were to he conducted by Mr McCulloch, who was for years the snperiutendant of the school, but an attack of influenza deprived us of that pleasure ; but at a short notice the appointments were supplied locally. Mr Gower took the moming service, and pi*eached from Matt. 5 and 6. He was clear on what constituted righteousness, viz ; the motive. He showed too that unless there was a keen desire for right acting there was the danger of missing the blessing ; because it was promised only to them that hunger and thirst after righteousness.

Mr McLean took ths afternoon service and preached frori.V Psalm 46

Osborne and Miss Newth who have been training them for some time. Good congregations all day ; at night the hall was fall. Collections for the day, £4 7s 2d. The picnic came off well. We had a fine day, a splendid paddock, plenty of provisions and lots of fun. We did not hear a murmer all day, nor an unkind word, nor anything that could be construed into a suspicion of discord, all enjoyed themselves fully young and aid, and went home tired and pleased!.
