During the day three services were held in the spacious Sunday School, which has recently been thoroughly renovated. At the morning service there was a good congregation. The Rev. P. S. CARDEN, circuit minister, Cleator Moor,officiated, and preached an interesting sermon. In the afternoon a children's service, at which the Rev. P. S. CARDEN presided was held, when there was a
large attendance of young folks and adults, who thoroughly appreciated the efforts of the scholars. The admorable manner in which the latter rendered
