and tlicro were present at tho ceremony, tho Revs. II. L. Bcllliouse, P. E. Thomas, St. Barnabas, Blackburn, and J. W. Martin. After a sliort service tlie Archdeacon read the articles of induction. The now rector then loft tho Reading Desk, accompanied by tlio clergy, and SIcsars J. Dawson, 11. Embloy, and II. Taylor, locked and unlocked tho door, and rang tho boll, etc.; and again entered the church. Tlio VcncrahloArchdcacon preached a very impassioned sermon specially suitable for siicli an occasion. Taking Iiis text from tho 2 Cor., v. cli., 20ili verse: “ Now then wo are auiljassndbrs for Clirist, as

fortli tliat St. Paul declared tlioofllooAvliicIi minis­ ters Iield to bo ambassadors for Christ, wlio had a mission to fulfil for Uira. Ho said tlio ambassadors took no lionour of tlieir own account, but tlie honour was derived from their office, and from the faith­ fulness witli which they disoharged their duties, and must tlicroforo go to tlieir King. Referring to the present occasion, he said it was with sorrowed feelings that a clergyman entered upon tho clisrgo of a parisli like that, and when ho began to realise that the 8i)iritiial welfare of 5,000 people rested in a great measure under his administration. Ho came as an anibnssndor of Christ, in Clirist's name and spirit, God directed Iiim as to what ho ouglit to do, and tlio Holy Spirit enabled liim to bo faitliful. Ho lioped tlio now servant of God would prevail upon tliem all to bo reconciled to God. Ho ai.so alluded to tlio difficulties of tlio umbassador’s work, the visitation of tho sick, religious iiistriic-' tion in tlio Bcliool, the guidance and 8Ui)crvision of lay lielpors, and the various parochial institutions —all these were responsibilities inseparable from liis work. In conclusion, lie urged them to trust Ibeir minister and place conlldcnce in him, believ­ ing tliat Iio was seeking tlicir best and liighest interests. They must work with liim and show that tlie people of St. James’s, Clithcroo, were Clirist’s in spirit and in life, as well as in nanio, Tliey could lielp their new pastor the host hy pray­ ing for him. Ministers had a work to do wliich needed all tlio liclp whieli prayer could obtain for tliom, and if tliey prayed tliat God would bless liis labours, grace would flow down upon themselves as


the rcsnlt. A short service was held in tlie evening to a


crowded congregation, and was addressed by tlio Rev. P. E. Thomas, vicar of St. Bnrnabas’.Black- burn, and the new rector. 'rho following letter from tho Rev. J. B. Wad- dington, was read.

My Reverend Brother and dear Bretliren in Clirist—


It is a matter of deep regret tliat my own ininis-


teriai duties will not allow me to ho present at tlio Bcrvice.s in your clmrcli tliis evening and give an nddre.ss, ns you have kindly invited me to do. Still, I feel that I cannot let so solemn and import­ ant an occasion pass without saying a few words, wliich I fervently ask the Holy Spirit to ciialilo mo to do, for tlio glory of our Divine Jtastcr and only Saviour, .fesus Clirist. ,'Tbcso remarks I shall ground upon tho key verse


of the Epistio to tlic Romans—I., 1C. " I am not iinlianioil of Iho O ospcl of Christ, for It Is tho


power of Clod unto siilvnlion to overyono that boliovoth.’’ 'Tlicao words of tlio Apostio imply personal

Such preaching, nceompanicd by fervent, believ­ . ,


that had never yet realized the enormity of the distance between themselves and. God, ho begged of them to look right on tlio^facc of tho blessed Master, and confess Him at once, for there would come a time when their knee, would bow, and when their eye would see him. Ho urged upon his hearers the import­


ance of recognising »Tcsus Christ the having complete dominion where sin once held sway. That was the preaching of the full gospel, the Lord ; Jesus- Christ in his glory and in his power; they preached Him as tho Saviour of * the sinner.sit was their responsibility to so preach Him. It was an awful responsibility, God so loved the sinner that lie gave TIis only begotten Son that they ,should have everlasting life. It was liis responsibility as a minister of the Gospel to so preach Jesus (Christ. Tho reponsibility of tlic people was to receive Christ that tho ministers of tho Gospel preached. They might preach for four score years, and yet there might be some who had never received tho blessing of salvation. They had not perceived their own responsibility.


lie


asked them, did they belong to Christ? Did Clirist belong to them ? He did if tlioy belonged to him. Referring to that day's proceedings, ho said he never felt so much as he had done that day the responsibility of his position. He had a full sense of it that afternoon, and realised it more nnd more as the day wore on. It was a w’oight of responsi- bility which ho was hardly fit to discharge, lie felt inHuflicient for the great work of God. There were those in connection witli St. James’s who would be pra3'ing for him ; lie UBkod them to pray on; never did an^’oae need prayer more than ho did. And if there was any opposition in the heart of anyone, ho asked them to take it to tho Lord, nnd ask him to stay the opposition. A new minister could not alwn^’s work exactly on the .same lines, hut ho hoped he would work on tlic lines of his tircdeces- sor as much as poH«iblc, and ho wanted them to accept him as an ambassador of God. He thanked tho trustees for the noble stand tliey had made in his favouri and others, who, b^' the grace of God had helped, ami in closing, he commended to them that mesHago with which he began '* We iircnch not ourselves but Christ tlic Lord.”

speed in the blessed work of winning souls to Christ. I am firmly convinced that a ministry begun, con­ tinued, and ended iu Clirist, will bo a truly suc­ cessful ono. I have proved this both in town and country for more than tliirty years.

SHOCKING GUN ACCIDENT AT WHALLEY.


Whalley and Billington were much shocked at the nows of tho death of George Henry Harold, tho youngest son of Mr. Thomais SVhallcy, managing director of Messrs. John Mercer & Co., Ld,, from t!ic explosion of a gun. What Imppcned c.xjictly will ever remain doubt­


ful, but thocircumst.an(:cs arc tlicso:—Mr.Whalloy wakened liis son at about a quarter to six as usual on Monday morning, and left the house himself to go down to the mill, expecting his son, who was em­ ployed in tho warehouse, to follow him. Deceased appears to have got up immediately,


and made ready for going to work, and shortly afterwards his mother and brother heard tlic gun explosion. His niotlicr culled to her son Richard, and rushed to liis room, whore she learned that ho too had heard tho report, but did not know what it meant. From there she went to the room of the deceased, but found he had got up Discerning the odour of burnt gunpowder she rushed downstairs, and into tho dining room, where she found her son quite dead, the top of bis head being completely blown away.

It is a soracwliat antiquated breech-loader, single- harreUed gun, used only about the garden for shooting birds, ami whether deceased had loaded it himself, intending to shoot at the birds before leaving home, or had found it loaded, is not known. Tho hammer is defective, and falls with very slight pressure, and it may be that, as was his cuRtom, he had gone into tlic room for a piece of cake before going to work, and while stooping for the jmrposc, caught tho trigger against the door of the cupboard OP Ms knee. Tho accident has been a great shock to his parents, tho deceased being a good, dutiful son, in his 20th year. At the inquest, which was held at the Judge W.'ilraslcy Inn, Billington, on Tuesday afternoon,


the jury, on licaring tho evidence to tho foregoing effect, returned a verdict of accidental death. Deceased was interred at Grindlcton Church

was apparently the third son of Richard Shuttle- worth, of Gawtliorpe. Dr. Whitt.aker stales that this Ughtred Shuttle-


worth married, Jane, daughter of Radcliffe Assheton, of Cucrdalc, and that his brother Nicholas (second son of Richard) w.as living at Clitheroe in 1669. The fact that tho present member for tho


Clitheroe Division bears the name of Ughtred (which occurs several times in the Shuttleworth pedigree) is a good illustration of the persistence of ccrt.ain Christian names in certain families. , Samuel .Jolly, whose wife and infant son were,


“ interred at the .alter,” w.as a son of the celebr.a- Icd Nonconformist Thomas Jollie. It will be recollected that Thom.as Jollie was Minister of Altham Church during the Commonwcaltli, and was ejected for Nonconformity in 1662. He bought Whymond Houses in 1667, and settled there. In his Church book, is the following entry in the year 1688, wliich evidently contains a reference to the death of Ills son Samuel's wife. "Pastors mother danghtcr-in-Iaw and son died in a few weeks. CNiijhlin^tile's Ltinatshire Nonconformity, Hlack- burn District, p. ISO). S.amuel Jolly’s wife and child no doubt died at his


father’s house at Whymoiid Houses, which being in the Township of Pendleton, accounts for his being styled '■ Fforreigner ’’ i.r. nonparishioner. In c.arly Christian times, at the erection of


Churcltes, no part of the adjacent ground was allotted for the interment of the dead, and where tile Roman law of tlie twelve tables was in force, the place of burial was outside the walls of the town, along tho way side. Gregory the Great first allowed sepulture in Churches or in places adjoin­ ing to them.

was more profitable to be buried within the pro- cints of the Cliurcli than at a distance, w.as because their neighbours as often ns they come to their sacred places remembering those whose sepulchres they behold, do put forth pniyers for them unto God, and this seems to h.tve been the true original of churchyards as cncomp.Tssing or adjoining the Church, '


rather than in a Churchyard surrounding it, was no doubt on account of the supposed greater sanctity of tho .sacred edifice,' and a.s the E.ast where the High Altar was, was considered the holiest part of tlic Church, burial nearest thereto was deemed the best, thence tho higher fee for interment in the Chancel. Many great and good men have entertained

strong scruples ns to the propriety of burying in the sacred edifice. Archbishop Snneroft thought it •’ improper the House , of God should be “ made the repository of sinful man.” Sir Mat­ thew Hale was wont to say that “ Churches were for the living, nnd churchyards for the de.ad ;" and Joseph Hall, Bishop of Norwich " did not hold “ Gotl’s house a meet repository for the greatest
