* Toys™ WPP np&pnjE. * w No. 50. Vol. V. FEBRUARY, 1897. Price One Penny. LLANIDLOES. Tho New Schoolroom will be opened on Thursday, February 25th, by the Bishop of Bangor. A telegram from him has fixed the date just as we are going to press, and after we had despaired of being able to announce it in this issue, and so we cannot give the intentions of the Managers with absolute certainty, bat we believe the programme contemplated will embrace a tea and entertainment for the children on the previous day, February 24th, and on Thursday the order of proceedings will be somewhat as follows :—Opening at 5, tea at 6, and service at 7-30 or 8. It is hoped that the Rev. Thomas Owen of Wellington—one of the most distinguished of our old boys will be the preacher, and that he will be support¬ ed in Chui'ch and at the opening meeing by a large number of former pupils of the School. Please be on the look out for the particulars on the posters. We are glad to announce that the Mandolin Band will make its second appearance on Friday, February 12th, when the members will take part in an enter¬ tainment at the National School, to commence at 8 o'clock. The last entertainment was an immense ^access, and we have reason to believe that this will °e at least as good and that it will include a laugh- able farce. The tickets, however, will be sold at the same low price—6d. We are sorry to see that the name of Miss Lily •Davies was omitted from the list of those who rendered valuable aid at the Rummage Sale. The Vicar asks us to say that he desires the opinion °f Churchgoers as to whether they prefer " The Three Hours " or ordinary morning service and sermon on Good Friday. It is obviously easier for him to prefer one sermon than eight addresses, but the attendance at the Three Hours has been uniformly good, and he will continue it unless a majority desire a change. Will those who feel strongly on this subject com¬ municate with him or Mr. Roberts ? This question remindb us that Lent begins in the first week in March. The reminder is opportune for February is undoubtedly a heavy month for ticket buyers. Besides the Entertainment on the 12th, and the Opening on the 25th (the tickets for the tea and opening will we understand be Is.) there are concerts in the first and third week for very deserving objects. It is well, therefore, that weary church-people, can look forward to March with a reasonable certainty that gaieties at any rate will cease then. Lest how¬ ever, time should hang heavily on their hands we understand that it is in contemplation to arrange a Farish Sewing Party in the New School to work for the Garden Sale which will be held as usual in the Vicaiage Grounds in the summer. About that depot! Mr. Robert Hughes the Post Office, who is never tired of helping the School, has been good enough to offer us a room for the purpose of storing parcels for our next rummage sale in his house. Parcels may be sent in at any time, and donors should be careful to write their names on the outside that their gifts may be acknowledged in the next number of this Magazine. Will our readers make an effort this month that we may make a good start and have a respectable list for the March number. Received in January parcel from Mr. P. Morton, per Mrs. Jones, Vicarage.
