CAISTOR

Wesleyan Band of Hope

On Tuesday evening a magic lantern exhibition was given to the members of the Wesleyan Band of Hope by Mr Hill, the town missionary.

The principal views were descriptive of ‘John Ploughman’s talk’, and were explained by Mr J Surfleet.

Humorous and other views were also shown, and an interesting evening was spent.
