Special services in the above place, on behalf of the Sunday School,
were held on Sunday, July 22nd.
Two sermons were preached, in the morning and evening, by the Pastor,
Mr. Frederick Marshall; also an address was given by him in the
afternoon. Text in the morning, Deuteronomy vi. 6, 7. He spoke of the
good of Sunday Schools in the cases of many that have left them and gone
out into the world to earn their living. It was his prayer that the Lord
would bless the labours of the brethren and sisters in the good work,
and that they might not be weary in well-doing, for they have the
promise, "they shall reap if they faint not." He could rest assured that
what was taught in the school was according to the Scriptures. He warned
the young people to flee from temptations and from the appearance of
evil, and directed them to diligently search the Scriptures, and take
them for a guide.
In the afternoon, in the presence of a goodly number of parents,
teachers, and scholars, he spoke from the little word "One." He said
that there must be a oneness between teachers and scholars, or the
school could not succeed. He also said that each boy and girl, as well
as the teacher, had his or her individual duty to do, and he said that
they all ought to try to do that duty well, out of school as well as in.
In the evening, the text was Romans xvi. 26. The sermon was listened to
very attentively by a good congregation. Suitable pieces for the
occasion were sung by the children.
On the following Thursday the children had their annual treat. On
account of the previous wet weather, it was feared that not a very
enjoyable day was in store; but He who is still the Answerer of prayer
was pleased to stay the rain, so that a very pleasant day was spent by
all present.
A SCHOLAR.
PROVIDENCE CHAPEL SUNDAY SCHOOL, BURWASH.
The first public meeting took place on Wednesday, August 8th. The
meeting was opened at two p.m. by singing, and then the Superintendent
read Proverbs iv. 1-13, and spoke in prayer. The children then amused
themselves for a time in the adjoining field. They were called in again
at four o'clock, and after reading and prayer, eight of the senior
scholars recited from fifteen to thirty verses each of Scripture, and
some hymns, for which they were presented, six with the Clifton Hymnal,
one with "The Sack and its Treasure," and the other with "The Morte
Stone," kindly presented by Mr. J. Wilmshurst, of Cranbrook. Three of
the junior scholars also said a few verses, for which they were
presented, two with a New Testament, and one with the Psalms.
At five o'clock about thirty persons sat down to tea, most of whom were
children.
In the evening Mr. J. Jarvis, of Mayfield, preached a very impressive
and encouraging sermon from Hebrews xii. 24.
The Sunday School was opened on the last Lord's Day in April with three
scholars. It now has eighteen, and we trust that the Lord will still
prosper the good work.
