The expenses came to £10 12s, leaving a net balance of £136 6s. The results far exceeded the most sanguine expectation. The vicar has published a letter thanking the public for the splendid support they gave to his efforts to get money in this way for the purpose of reducing the debt on the Church Hall. The Rev. Mr Hughes oame to tho parish from Llangurig three years ago, and he has the gratification of seeing a fine Church Hall erected during his in- cumbency. But there was the incubus of a debt upon it of £1100, and praiseworthy efforts are made to liquidate this. By May this year the debt was reduced to JE460. Mr Hughes himself collected over JB180, and this amount added to the proceeds of sale of work has now reduced the debt on the hall to about JE160. Through the help of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, an assistant curate has been secured, and that at a most opportune moment. On Sunday, English services are held in the Church Hall, and on week nights the building is used by the English and the Welsh for social and liter- ary meetings. The hall is one of the best in structure and equipment in the diocese. The vicar is to be highly congratulated upon the marked success that has followed his work since he came to the parish.

COliKESPONDENCE. SUNDAY MILK BUSINESS AT I COL W YN BAY- (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—Kindly permit mo to appeal to the rcadeirs of your paper to support the milk ven- dors of the district in thair desire to confine the supplying of milk on Sunday to the murn- ing delivery during the autumn and winter months. It is generally admitted that it is good neiitllier for man nor beast to work seven days in. th.9 week. and yet the milk vendors of this district, tlheir employees and their horses liave to do so. It is only reasonable tiiat they should wish to bo free on Sunday afternoon and even- ing, and they roic for this consideration only from October to Easter- They can supply on tihe Sunday morning all the milk required cot the day, and during the col season there is no difficulty in keeping the milk sweet till the next day. In certain districts of Manchester, therio is only one delivery of milk on any day of the week during the winter. Surely, we oan do wiit'n one delivery on tho Sunday. As the suc- cess of the movement will depend on the united support of tlie public, it is earnestly hoped that all will fall in with it, oven in ciees where there may be. some little inconvenience.—I am, etc., Highfield, THOS. ^OYD.
