THE SALE OF WORK. ■f My readers will remember that the date fixed for our Annual Sale is Wednesday, 22nd of this month. We regret to say that, owing to her mother's death, Mrs. Jones, Bulkeley Place, will not be able to undertake the charge of the Refreshment Stall. Mrs. Owen, the City Hotel, assisted by Mrs. Watkins, James Street, and Mrs. Humyhreys, 8, Gambier Terrace, who in previous years had the management of this stall have come to our rescue, and I now have the pleasure of announcing that these experienced ladies, who deserve our warmest thanks, will once again be at the head of this particular department, and all contributions for this stall are to be sent direct to them. Judging from the generous, and I may almost say, the enthusiastic response which has met our appeals for help, this year's sale ought to prove second to none of its predecessors. While retaining the services and support of our old and valued friends, a considerable amount of fresh blood will be infused into this year's sale, thereby enabling it to renew its strength as it advances in years. A new feature in this year's sale will be the introduction of some novel competitions, which we hope will prove both amusing and profitable. I beg to thank Miss Lord, Menai Stores, Upper Bangor, for the very kind help she rendered by presiding at the harmonium in the English Evening Service during the temporary absence of our usual organist. Mr. Roberts, Orme Road, deserves our warm thanks for having rendered a similar service. I am sure my readers will be glad to learn that our late Curate, the Rev. Benjamin Thomas, B.D., has decided to return to his old Diocese, and has accepted the Curacy of Blaenau Festiniog. We congratulate that parish upon the acquisition of so able and eloquent a preacher and worker. The quick-witted quarrymen of that district are the very people to fully appreciate the valuable talents of Mr. Thomas. The following paragraph which I have taken out of one of the daily papers cannot fail to interest my readers dealing as it does with "cleanliness," which, we are told, "is next to godliness." One is forced to acknowledge that there is some truth in the president's remark that " Clergymen would be much better employed in teaching hygiene than in preach¬ ing silly sermons."
