CHAPEL ANNIVERSARY AND HARVEST FESTIVAL. In connection with the above a public tea was provided in the Schoolroom on Saturday last, to which a good number sat down. In the evening the harvest thanksgiving meeting was held, when addresses were delivered by the Rev. T. Waugh, Connexional Evangelist, who kindly consented to come from Wolverton, where he was conducting mission services. The address he gave was listened to with rapt attention. Messrs. Mead and Swannell also spoke, and the Rev. J. Bentley presided. On the following Sunday three sermons were preached by Mr. Osborne, of Crewe, to good congregations, especially that at night, when the place was full. The chapel was very nicely decorated with flowers, fruit, and vegetables, the rostrum presenting a tasteful appearance. Great praise is due to the ladies who were responsible for the decorations. Collections were taken which realised £2 14s. 11d.
