YSPYTTY IFAN. SUNDAY SCHOOL TRIP.—On Wednesday week, about 40 members of Yspvt-ty Church Sunday School had their annual trip to Llan, dudno- At seven o'clock in the morning they started in three lapre brakes to Bettwsycoed, r' the nearest railway station seven miles and a half awav, and by half-past nine had reached their destination. The day was not of the brightest, but nevertheless, the children enjoy- ed themselves thoroughly. By collecting i'n school and by the kindness of' friends, all the members, adults and children, had their con- veyance and two meals free of charge. A cor- respondent writes:—"People who live in towns and are used to travelling about, can hardlv imagine what a treat it is for children, and even for adults, who spend their days from one end of the year to the other far away in country places, to have an opportunity like this to tra- vel a little and see the outer world. It is hard! ly credible, and yet it is a fact. that there was in this little party a. strong man over Lrty years of age, who had never before set his foot in a railway train. It was a pity the weather was not of the best, but the trip was certainly enjoyed in spite of that."
