Doubtless many of our readers are interested in the announcement
which has been appearing for several months past on our wrapper to
the effect that certain coupons will entitle the holder to receive a
set of Fine Art Plates for a trifling sum. We desire to supplement
that announcement by stating that the pictures will be of sacred
subjects, and will, moreover, be printed on specially prepared
plate paper in order to obtain the best possible results. The
selected paintings are by Lord Leighton, Sir John Millais, Edward
Armitage, R.A., Ford Madox Brown, W. C. T. Dobson, R.A., and William
Dyce, R.A., and the series will form an admirable selection of the
best-known works of these famous artists--well worthy of a permanent
place in every home.
ROLL OF HONOUR FOR SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS.
The =Special Silver Medal= and =Presentation Bible= offered for the
longest known Sunday-school service in the county of =Durham= (for
which applications were invited up to January 31st, 1899) have been
gained by
MR. JOHN J. BAILEY,
Newgate Street, Barnard Castle,
who has distinguished himself by _fifty-six_ years' service,
principally in the Sunday School of the Barnard Castle Parish Church.
As already announced, the next territorial county for which claims
are invited for the _Silver_ Medal is
DEVONSHIRE,
and applications, on the special form, must be received on or before
February 28th, 1899. We may add that =Kent= is the following county
selected, the date-limit for claims in that case being March 30th,
1899. This county, in its turn, will be followed by the territorial
county of =Cheshire=, for which the date will be one month
later--viz. April 30th, 1899.
The names of members recently enrolled will be found in our
advertisement pages.
