CONCERT. A successful concert was given on Saturday last in the Council School, Castlethorpe. It was arranged by the Sunshine Committee of the Young People’s Class, which is held in connection with the Wesleyan Chapel. The Sunshine since its commencement some four years ago, have paid hundreds of visits to the sick and aged people of the village, I many instances taking with them such necessaries to the sick-room as grapes, beef-tea, etc. They also have distributed parcels each Christmas to the widows and old people. It was with a view to increase the funds for the practical part of the work that the concert was given. The venture proved a great success, and funds benefited to the extent of about £5. The Vicar, the Rev. W. J. Harkness, was in the chair. After the Secretary’s report, Mr. Harkness briefly addressed the meeting, addressing helpful remarks to the Sunshine Committee in their work, and wishing them every success. The following ladies and gentlemen took part: Pianoforte solo, Mr. H. Middleton; songs Mrs. Thomas, Miss Cooper, Mrs. Middleton, Mr. A. Bullard, and Mr. A. Petts; recitations, Mr. W. Hay; violin solos, Mr. T. S. Cales A.C.V. Mr. H. Middleton was the accompanist. The committee desire to express their thanks to all who so generously assisted.
