WE are sure our friends who know Mr. T. A. Denny will be pleased to see his portrait in our present number. We are much indebted to our first Vice President for the help he has been to our Mission.

THE VOLUME of THE SIGNAL for 1887 is now ready. Price 2s. 2d. to Railway-men; published price 2s. 6d. It is worth double the money. Every home should have one.

WE greet all our readers in the name of our Master with every good wish for the New Year. The past has been an earnest and proof of the blessing to follow. Let us pray for it, work for it, and expect it.

NOTICE that the UP AND DOWN LINE is now sold for 9d. per copy. What Railway-man's home should be without one? It is a beautiful picture and full of teaching of the right sort. Ask the agent to get it.

WE have a number of appeals before us for the services of evangelists, and are doing our utmost to please all parties. Will our friends who arrange missions kindly refrain from asking our evangelists to take other than Railway meetings. The utmost of their strength is required for the Railway Mission.

WE have taken some land in the Wandsworth-road, S.W., upon which an Iron Hall will be built as soon as sufficient money is in hand for that purpose. The Railway-men interested in that district are collecting, and we shall be glad of any help that others can give. About £100 is needed. There are thousands of Railwaymen about here still unsaved.

WE are much cheered by receiving tidings from Peterborough of the earnestness with which Miss Jackson has prosecuted her work there. The friend who writes to us is loud in his praise of her efforts, and strong in his faith that God will more abundantly prosper His servant. The whole tenor of the letter proves that the men themselves are fast realising what we have over and over again affirmed-namely, the vast amount of good that can be done among Railway-men by the persistent zeal of a Christian lady.

It is always pleasing to chronicle good news. We are, therefore, glad to announce that Miss Bayly, of Park House, Farnborough, will in all probability, by the time these lines are in print, be the wife of Major Phayre, of the First Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment, now stationed at Aldershot. The gallant officer, who is a son of our staunch friend Sir Robert Phayre, has frequently taken part in the Railway-men's meetings conducted at Park House by Mrs. Leigh Bayly; and it is gratifying to know that the marriage of her daughter will not deprive that lady of the assistance of either Major or Mrs. Phayre, as there appears every likelihood of the regiment remaining at Aldershot for some time to come. The happy pair have our best wishes and prayers: every God-fearing Railway-man will join us.
