Valiant for the Truth Tent, No. 233.—On Tuesday evening, March 4th, a social tea and meeting was held in the Tent meeting-room, Castle-street. Bro John Hall, C R, presided after tea, and gave a short address on the past history of the Tent. Short addresses on the subject of Rechabitism, and the best means to be adopted for extending our Order, were given by Bros Robert Garner, W. Cooke, W. Howarth, G. Irring, E. Ford, I. Robinson, J. Bilsborough, and R Garner (secretary). Readings were given by Bros J. Preston and Sweetman; songs by Bros A. Lang-ford, W. Orr, and W. J. Lang ford; glees by Bros 3. Myres, R. T. Myres, A. Langford, W. J. Lang ford, and Miss Myres. Bro Davies gave a solo on the concertina. Violin solos were given by Bros R Bilsborough and R. T. Myres (both juveniles). Bro J. A Lang ford presided at the pianoforte. It was resolved page 61 to send a memorial to R. Assheton, Esq, M P, requesting him to support Sir Wilfrid Lawson's local option resolution in the House of Commons. The secretary's report for the past year shows the Tent to be in a better financial position than it was twelve months ago, there being a clear gain of £26 10s 9d on the year. Only three members have received sick pay, and no death has occurred during the year.
