The office-bearers of the congregation have made the following appeal on behalf of the Fellowship Union:—"The strength of a church lies greatly in her young men, and hence all your office-bearers would like to see a considerable accession to the ranks of the society. They will be heartily welcomed, and will find much to interest and encourage them in what is going on."

The ordinary meetings of the Union are held in one of the church vestries at ten o'clock every Sabbath morning, and are open to all young men.

The lowest age for admission has been fixed at eight years, and the average age of those in attendance has been eleven. The mothers of the girls have been invited to attend with a view to their obtaining information of a practical nature. There is every inducement for the children to attend, and their regular appearance from week to week shows that they value the instruction and
