• Notes

  The Mercury, Thursday 10 March 1892 FRANKLIN. Away far back in the " forties" one of the Huon pioneers, who has long gone to "that undiscovered country from which bourne no traveller returns," commenced a morning Sunday school in a neighbour's house in connection with the Congregational Church. The grain of mustard seed then planted has expanded into a goodly tree, and it must have been gratifying to those who for years past have carried on the noble work of inculcating Christian principles in the minds of the young to find the little church crowded on the 28th ult. on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the Sabbath school. Amongst the congregation were the octogenarian, Mr. John Hay, who has done his share in conserving the interests of the church for half a century, Mr. Wm. Philp who has held the position of superintendent of the school for many years, and Mr. Barnett, who has earnestly and faithfully carried on the good work initiated by Mr. Wm. Barnett and others over 40 years ago. These and others who have borne the heat and burden of the day, and who have materially assisted in the development referred to, are to be congratulated that the school is in a satisfactory state, and that their children are manifesting a deep interest in church work. The building was tastefully decorated with evergreens and choice flowers, and presented an exceedingly attractive appearance. The addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. Hurford, who took for his subject in the morning "-The responsibility of the Church in regard to the people." At the special children's service in the afternoon the Rev. gentleman took for his text "Train up a child in the way he should go." An address was also delivered by Mr.C.Rowe, who having had considerable experience in Sunday School work was well able to treat his subject in a manner suitable to the capacity of the little ones. The prizes were distributed by Mr. Hurford. Horace Allen secured first for attendance, etc., and Maud Philp and Wm. Philp first and second respectively for Bible questions. The annual report was read by the superintendent, and was of an encouraging nature, the roll of pupils showing an increase, and the financial department showing a balance on the right side. There was again a large congregation in the evening, the preacher delivering an impressive discourse on" Consecration." A large and well trained choir, under the direction of Mr. Barnett, rendered in a highly creditable manner " Just across the silent river," " God is love," "Sweet Sabbath eve," "Ring the joy bells," and others suitable for the occasion. It may be mentioned in this connection that the Rev. J. Williams has ministered to the spiritual wants of the Congregational body during the past 12 months, and it may be inferred that he has done be to the satisfaction of all concerned, as meetings have recently been held inviting him to continue to act in that capacity. The annual treat in connexion with the school was held on Wednesday last at Woodstock and passed off very successfully. The Rev. J. Williams, I. Hurford, and A. Gifford were present, and with the teachers and friends did all in their power to make the holiday an enjoyable one for the juveniles. Cheers were given for Mr. Kellaway, and for Captain Rowe, of the Skipjack. March 5.
