ANNIVERSARY ENTERTAIMENT

The anniversary entertainment in connection with the above Sunday School was held in the Wesleyan Church, Hastings, last evening. There was, on account of other attractions, only a moderate attendance. The church was tastefully decorated with evergeers. The children, to the number of about a hundred, were arrayed on the platform, all dressed in their best attire. The entertainment opened with a chorus from the children, entitled " Singing Together," which was rendered very nicely, and showed that the children had been well trained. Mr Morris then led in prayer. The following programme was gone through : —lnstrumental duet, Master and Miss Marbrook ; chorus, " Chiming Bells" ; recitation, Miss Knight ; chorus, " The Sunday School Army" ; violin solo, Miss Bain ; (this lady is a new arrival from Canterbury, and she gave the audience a good exhibition of music) ; chorus, " A Noble Aim short address, Mr Morris ; chorus, " Away to the Woods song, Mrs lieighway (whose voice was heard to perfection; she was accompained in the chorus by Miss Tressider) ; chorus, " Gentle Words recitation, Master Ivnight ; chorus, " Lovest Thou Me."
