W. CROWN.

ON June 3 the anniversary of the above School was held, when an address was delivered to the children in the morning by Mr. Easons. In the afternoon and evening the children recited some pieces upon the Bible and the blessings contained therein, and a dialogue on the duty to keep holy the Sabbath-day, and the advantage of Sabbath schools, &c. The congregation was large, so that we were obliged to take to the open air. On Monday the teachers and scholars processioned in the adjacent villages, and sung

several pieces adapted for the occasion; then with bright and happy countenances they returned to the chapel and partook of an excellent tea. A public tea was afterwards provided, when about 60 sat down to the bountiful repast. A public meeting followed, and the children recited "The reasonableness of the Moral Law," and "The Good News of Salvation," &c. The children, teachers, and parents were addressed by several friends. Our collections and donations amounted to the sum of £3 16s. 7d., a little above last year, and our scholars keep increasing. We are thankful to say some of our young teachers have given their hearts to God. May they be steadfast in the cause of Christ, and never be weary in well doing. D. RANDAL.

CHALVEY, MAIDENHEAD CIRCUIT.

WE held our School Anniversary on Sunday and Monday, June 17th and 18th. On Sunday three sermons were preached by Mr. Joseph Woodbridge, of Chalfont St. Giles' Branch of the High Wycombe Circuit. Morning at eleven, open air at five, and at six in the evening. In the afternoon the children interested the congregation with recitations of poetry, dialogues, and Scripture pieces, and singing hymns suitable for the occasion. On Monday they had their usual treat, and a goodly company of friends came to the tea. After tea a public meeting was held, chiefly by the children, and addresses were given by Rev. J. Fuller, and J. Wooldridge, of London. A most blessed influence pervaded each of the meetings. The church has been quickened; backsliders reclaimed; mourners blessed; and some three or four added to our society. To the name of our God be all the glory. The collections amounted (a donation of 10s. included, by a kind Baptist Friend) to £3 10s. 41d. We intend giving the children some reward books, and making the society a present of provisions for a tea meeting, the proceeds to go towards the expenses incurred for painting and colouring the chapel. That the cause of God in our societies and in our schools may prosper, souls be saved, and the world deluged with God's glory, is the prayer of J. WOOLDRIDGE.

LANGHAM SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY,
HADLEIGH CIRCUIT.

ON Sunday, June 3rd, a sermon was preached in the morning by the writer, and in the afternoon and evening suitable recitations were given and hymns sung by the children. The day was fine and the congregations were large. On Monday (June 4) the chapel was very tastefully decorated with flags, banners. mottoes, evergreens, and flowers. A very comfortable tea was provided, numerously attended, and a harmonium was played at intervals by Miss Scott, of Fordham. In the evening some recitations were given by the scholars, and addresses delivered by several ministers. On Tuesday the scholars enjoyed their usual treat. The profits of the public tea were sufficient to pay all the expenses of the children's treat, and for bills, printing, &c., and a few shillings over. The Anniversary brings £2 16s. Ild. to the funds of the school. Great praise is due to the Misses Clark, the principal managers of the school, for their persevering industry. May God continue his smile upon the school, and make it prosper for Jesus' sake. S. SMITH.

AMBLESIDE.
With Engraving.)

THERE is, perhaps no part of Great Britain more beautiful and picturesque, more varied in its scenery, or more calculated to afford intense gratification to the tourist, whether he travels as a man of science, as a painter, or simply as an admirer of the works of his Creator,-than the Lake District of England. It is rich in flowers, rare plants, and luxuriant undergrowth. Its numerous mountains present a tempting field of investigation to the geologist. Its ruins and several very curious Roman and Druidical remains furnish points of interest to the antiquarian, while its woods and streams are associated with the names of many of our greatest poets.

Ambleside is a small market-town, irregularly built, in the valley of Rothay, about a mile from the head of Windermere. It was once a Roman station, and several fragments of old pavement and other Roman relics have been dug up in the neighbourhood. Traces of a fortress have also been discovered. The town stands on a steep incline at the base of Wansfell, and, excepting towards the south-west, is enclosed by mountains on all sides. It is a favourite resort of tourists. A few hundred yards behind the Salutation Inn is the Stock Gill River, where is a fine fall called the Stock Gill Force.

A branch of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway conducts from Kendal to Birthwaite, a mile to the north of Bowness, and near the shores of Windermere. From the station here coaches run to Ambleside, &c. The scenery all round is delightful.

MY DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS,-After living forty-five years without seeing the great city which forms the metropolis of our country, and after often determining to do so, but as often allowing the resolve to fall through; I availed myself of the vacation in July last to gratify my long-cherished wish. Accordingly a little after
