In speaking of his recent trip to England, Mr. T. G. Stanley said he had a glorious trip, after an absence from his native land for twenty-nine years.

On his arrival at Liverpool he was met by two sisters and one brother, together with twenty of his nieces and nephews. He visited Manchester, Liverpool and Shropshire, the latter his home town where he was born. In his youth he attended the first Sunday school demonstration in Shropshire, and upon his return took part in the fifty-first.

In Ashton Makefield he visited the church where his father laid the corner stone thirty years ago also the church at Dumferline where his brother, Enoch Stanley, laid the corner stone. He says if he should tell us of the many places he visited that were his former boyhood haunts it would fill the Enterprise.

Upon his return he held a regular reception of friends anxious to hear him tell of his enjoyable trip, and he feels glad to be home again. Mr. Stanley brought back as keepsakes the family Bible and a small sealskin cap that he wore when he was seven years of age.
