CARDIFF CHURCH

TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. The twentieth anniversay of the Cardiff Church was celebrated on Sunday and Wednesday last. Interested friends had decorated the church for the Sunday services, which wore conducted by the Rev. C. C. Harrison and Mr C. J. Rowe. The splendid display of provisions which the teatables bore on Wednesday indicated the generous and thoughtful concern of the ladies of the congregation in the affairs of the Church. A goodly number attended the tea, which, as usual, strengthened the social bond of the congregation. The tea was followed by a public meeting, at which the Rev. C. C. Harrison presided. The Anglican, Primitive Methodist, and Methodist Churches contributed equally to the expenses of the Trust (so that there is no debt) and the proceeds of the anniversary ape.devoted to the improvement, of the property. The Rev. B. Metson gave an address of congratulation and encouragement. He also, on behalf of the congregation, presented Miss McFadgen, the organist, with a handsome Bible and inkstand.
