WESLEYAN MISSION SOCIETY. On Good Friday meetings were held in connection with this society in the Wesleyan Chapel. In the afternoon the Rev. A. R. Humphrey’s (circuit minister) preached to a numerous congregation. This service was followed by a tea meeting, which was well patronised. In the evening a meeting was held, which was presided over by Mr. J. Knight, of Wolverton. The chapel was comfortably full. The chairman, in opening the meeting, pointed out the claims the society had on their Christian feeling. The Rev. Mr. Humphreys presented the report, which was of a satisfactory character. He then addressed the business of the success it had achieved. Messrs. Sharp, (senior) and Rose (Hanslope) followed with practical addresses, and those present were urged to contribute liberally to the collections. Mr. Sharp (junr.) having engaged in prayer, the collection was taken, and amounted to a good sum. The chairman having been thanked, the meting terminated with the singing of the doxology.
