_Chapel Sunday._--I had the pleasure of spending a Sunday in the course of
the last summer in the neighbourhood of Keswick, among the delightful lake
scenery of England. I there learned that in the village of Thornthwaite it
was Chapel Sunday, and on inquiry I was told that there were a few other
villages in the neighbourhood where there was also a Chapel Sunday. Upon
this day it is the custom of young people to come from neighbouring places
to attend worship at the village church or chapel, and the afternoon
partakes of a merry-making character at the village inn. There appeared, as
far as I could see, no excesses attending the anniversary, all being
respectable in their conduct. Can any of your Cambrian readers inform me
the origin of this anniversary?
