Wesleyan Church.

ANNIVERSARY AND HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

The anniversary serviceß of the Ash burton Wesleyan Church, and the harvest thanksgiving services, were held m the Church on Sunday, One of the largest congregations seen m the church for some time attended at the morning service, when the Rev. J. H. Gray was the preacher. The church was handsomely deoorated m honor of the harvest festival. The north wall was hung with garlands of flowers festooned m various designs, the pulpit was decorated with flowers, the table on the dais below the pulpit groaned under a weight of fruit and garden pro duce built m a tempting pyramid, and flanked with ferns and pot plants. In the western corner of the church, near the pulpit, another table bore a similar load, and on the ends of every pew m the church were hung garlands of chrysan themums and green foliage. The windows were also festooned with flowers, and two large floral St Andrew's crosses adorned the south wall. The afternoon and evening services were conducted by the Rev. S. La wry, who preached appro priate sermons. In the afternoon the services were specially for children, and a large number of the little ones were present, while another large congregation of adults attended m the evening. The choir mustered m force, and under: Mr Gamble's baton, with Miss Murray at the organ, made the choral part of the services particularly attractive.

F, lII.ACIi, PRACTICAL WATCH & CLOCK MAKER, EAST STREET, ASHBURTON. UNDER THE MANAGEMENT 1)F MR ANDREW BLA.CIC. Bronze Medalist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, London. MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British Horological Institute, and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted fco him. He has noticed, while m the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing a valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. . ■ ■ __ 0 All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.
