The Leicester Silver Medallist.
Many of our readers will be pleased to see the accompanying portrait of Miss Anne Harrison, the veteran Sunday-school teacher of Leicestershire, who was recently awarded the Silver Medal and Presentation Bible for the longest known period of service in that county. Fifty-eight years ago Miss Harrison commenced work in the Sunday-school attached to the Baptist Chapel in Harvey Lane, Leicester, and is still to be found at her post Sunday after Sunday, devoting all her energies to the cause which is so near her heart, and which she has so faithfully served for over half a century.
ROLL OF HONOUR FOR SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS.
The Special Silver Medal and Presentation Bible offered for the longest known Sunday-school service in the county of Sussex (for which applications were invited up to November 30th) have been gained by
Mr. Charles Watts,
14, Western Road, Hove,
who has distinguished himself by fifty-one years' service in the county, forty-nine of which were spent in Christ Church Sunday School, Montpelier Road, Brighton.
As already announced, the next territorial county for which claims are invited for the Silver Medal is
WILTSHIRE,
and applications, on the special form, must be received on or before December 31st, 1898. We may add that Durham is the following county selected, the date-limit for claims in that case being January 31st, 1899. This county, in its turn, will be followed by Devonshire, for which the date will be one month later—viz. February 31st, 1899.
Erratum.—Susan Hammond, the Essex County Medallist, was inadvertently described in our November number as Miss Hammond instead of Mrs. Hammond.
