HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES.—At the Barry Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday last, harvest thanksgiving services were held. The building was decorated with various flowers and plants, which gave it a beautiful appearance and reflected particular credit upon the taste of those responsible for the decoration. Special hymns, solos, and duets were sung during the afternoon by the Sunday School scholars, and the choir singing at the evening service was unusually pleasing. Miss Roberts presided at the organ. At the morning service an excellent sermon was preached by Mr. J. H. Payne, Cardiff, and in the afternoon the same gentleman and the Rev. G. H. Dunstan preached. The latter gentleman based his remarks upon the Garden of the Lord. At the evening service the Rev. S. H. Dnnstan preached a most interesting and instructive sermon, taking his text from Job xii., 8: Speak to the earth, and it will teach thee." The rev. gentleman -dwelt upon the practical lessons to be derived from the productions of nature, and said that it was only in response to man's toil tha.t the earth would yield her fruit. The earth taught us generosity from the luxu- riance of her gifts, and by the magnitude of her store taught us how insignificant man was. The address was listened to with the deepest attention. Collections were made at the different services towards the chapel fands.

The decorations for the harvest festival of the preceding Sunday still remained on the walls and suspended from the roof of the building.—The Rev. Graham Payne presided over a fairly good attendance, and in his speech drew attention to the need of gene- rous donations. A debt of X150 remained on the Church, and the proceeds of the entertainment and of the harvest thanksgiving services would be used towards clearing the debt off He was very anxious to see that debt wiped off, as they intended, as soon a" -possible, to enlarge the building to meet the want) of their constantly increasing congregation.

We have been privileged to see one of Miss Honey's examination drawings, the subject being a child with a kitten in its arms, and we feel bound to say Miss Honey shows talent of no mean order. The facial expression of the child is very natural, and the general work of the sketch very good. Miss Honey has a special taste for animal sketching, in a piece at present unfinished of a number of cats. She having succeeded in imparting to the animals most grimalkin-like looks. ACCIDENT.—Mr. J.

The whole of the proceeds ,iilLi be devoted to the relief fund, all the expenses being defrayed privately. The singing of Mr. Hurcum was the most notable feature of the evening, and his song, ,'The Veteran," was loudly redemandcd, but the length of the programme would not admit of encores. Miss M. G. Taylor was a great success in The old folks at home with the banjo accompaniment; and Mr. Donnat's "Pretty Jane" was sung with very good taste, and deserved the burst of applause it re- ceived. Migs Bella Jones' singing gives us every reason to believe she will become very popular; and with a little practice in execution Mr. Cohen will become a really good violinist.
