The second anniversary of this guild was celebrated on Saturday, Sunday and Monday last. On Saturday a tea was provided in the Wesleyan Schoolroom at five o’clock, when about forty sat down. At 6.45 an entertainment was commenced, consisting of solos, duets, trios, recitations, band selections, etc., kindly rendered by the following. Messrs. D. Faulkner, Johnstone, Coleman, Scott and Mrs. Johnstone (Wolverton), Mr. Foddy (Potterspury), Miss M. Rainbow, Messrs. A. Sprittles, A. Richardson, W. Bennett, and others (Castlethorpe), and the Potterspury Orchestral Band, which gave some very good selections. The entertainment was presided over by Miss Swirles, of Northampton. The Secretary (Mr. J. Whitmee) read the report of the Guild for the past year, which was a very good one. Miss Swirles spoke for about a quarter of an hour on the possibilities of Wesley Guild. A collection was made which amounted to 16s. 3d. A vote of thanks to all who took part in the programme, especially to the friends who so kindly came from Northampton, Wolverton and Potterspury, proposed by Mr. Lee and seconded by Mr. Richardson, brought the entertainment to a close. A most enjoyable evening was spent by all.
On Sunday two services were conducted by Mr. J. Denny, C.C., of Silverstone, who kindly consented to take them at a very short notice for the Rev. Pollard, who was unable to come owing to the death of his brother. Mr. Denny preached two very good sermons. The Choir, under the leadership of Mr. Middleton, gave an anthem at each service. On Monday evening the Rev. D. Clayton, of Stony Stratford, brought the anniversary to a close by giving an excellent lecture on “Macedonia: its wrongs, sufferings and remedies.” Mr. Whitmee must be congratulated on the way in which he performed his duties as secretary.
