Wdson Murray at the autumnal meeting of the East Lancashire Congregationalists held at CTilheroe an Alonday. Mr. Alur- rav luus the honour of being president of the district for ,1905 anddn his address he pointed out very forcibly tliat where many Christian churchevs failed was in thinking If the churches have


Mttrrav said, much to be thankful for. The Rev. M. Spencer;, of D#rwen, spoke of the need for more Christian fellowship and charity at church business meetings and it must iie granted that there is a good deal in the remark.


On .Monday lire Clilheroe Guardians


brought their discussion of ibe vagraaicy problem to an end by the decision not to appoint a representative to the inter-county committee formed, accordnig to the reso­ lution of the conference, to carry out the farm and labour colonies scheme. The pity is that the resolution was not framed in a more business hke mannerj and thus have helped the Guardians instead of coii- fusing them. In the form submitted it certa.uly appeared to commit the Board to tile scheme, though whether or not tliat was the intention of the Conference is an­ other question. Mr. Green, who attended the conference, said the idea was to have a committee to talk over the whole question And he moved an amendment to the effect that a reprcfsentalive attend without com- niitiiing tlie Board to anything; but this was lost by one vote. One wonders wb\’. in face of the saving clause of the amendment, tbu Guardians could not see their way to instruct one of their number to attend the committee, to hear all the good or bad things about the proposal, and report ae cordingly to the Board, and thus add to wliaL is admitted to be scanty information on the .subject. There would have been .no com mitlal about this, and in the end the sclieme could be 'disapproved if thought advisable. Mr. Assheton was athJ.rst for information on the proposal— a kind of prosisectus, one .ussumes, of what is and what is not to 'be accomplished. The appointment of a represenlati\ e would have gone a long way towards supplying the deficiency. TTie whole question of joining in the scheme could be discussed later.

'rhe discovery of an unknown corpse in


tliu Ribble on" Sunday has provided the district with an incident of more jhan ordin­ ary concern, and the river witli another mystery which even time can dp nothmg to solve. Who the unfortunate man was and how he came to be in the water is not known as yet. The fact that at the spot where the body was found the b.uik was broken stands out as somewhat signi­ ficant; and yet with the evidence pre.sented to them the jury could but return a verdict

Turn here all you who are spending yolur


light in hard study and contemplate what the future has in store. At a prize distri­ bution at a Burnley evening school, an alderman in endeavouring to encourage the students, remarked upon the fact'that quite a number of young fellows had won valu­ able scholarships. He proceeded. ‘ ITiey studied most energetically, burning the night oil in their efforts to e.xccl in lifej and where,'’ he remarked, in his most elo­ quent manner, “ where are they now. They are in the 'South Kensington Museum, a fact which gives lustre to their native place and honour to themselves. ’ Of course, he meant the Royal College of Science, South


Kensington. The date of the opening of the series of


“ The J ames Eccles Concerts ” is rapidly drawing near, and those who have not .yet consulted Mr. Eccles as to the allocation of subscription tickets had better do so before any more time is lost. No better opportu­ nity for hearing really the best of artistes and the best music can be looked forward to in the town; and the price, too, must be wfthin everybody’s reach.


.A list of the artistes appears in tlie ad­


vertising columns, and to show the quality of the fare to be submitted Mr. Eccles has kindly supplied me with the programme for the oirening concert, from which I leave readers to draw their own conclusiotis: Misses Florence and Rose Showe'll (duettists) will 'sing (i) “ In the Dusk of Twilight,” (P.arker), (2) “ II Bacb ” (Ardite). (3) “ Carmena, ’ (Lane Wilson). Mr. Albert Garcia will song (i) “ Prologue ” (Leoncavallo), (2) “ How deep the Slum- .•er of the flood,'' (C. Lowe, 1796), (3) • King Charles ” (AL V. White). Mr.


Frederic Lamond (solo pianoforte), will play “ Variations on a theme of Pag.anini op'35. two parfis,” (Brahms), “ Senate op 90 E. Minor.” (Beethoven), (a) “ linpromptu F Sharp,” (b) Berceuse, (c) “ Scherzo B minor ” (Chopin); Etude (Liszt), Barcarole (Rubinstein), (a) Soiree de Vienne, (b) Rha]).sodie Hongroise No. 9 (Liszt).


Mr. R. C. Assheton was unable to attend


the adjourned meeting of the Guardians on Saturday last otring to the ceremonies at Blackburn in connection with the unveiling of the statue of the late Queen Victoria by Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise (Duchess of --Yrgyll). In the evening Air. and Mrs. R. C. Assheton dined with Sir William and Lady Coddington at 'Wycolfar, where they had the honour of meeting Her Roval Highness and the Duke of Argyll.


Tlie Bishop of Rlipon has appoiiited the


Rev. J. C. Garnett (Rector of Slaidbrnn), Rural Dean of West Craven, in succession to llie Rev. Canon Cook, Rector of Skip- ton. Mr. Garnett's services to the <-luirelies in the neighbourhood have always bee]I li'glily acceptable and I here will be general gratification at his selection for Ibe liiglier duties which be is so well able to fill til.


This week has witiiesseil llie opening of


the commodious premises iii Lowergale to serve tlie purjjosas of a Catholic Club. At the proceedings on Wednesdiiy the Very Rev. Mon.signor Gadd said be did not usually congratulate men who did a good turn for themselves, and therefore offered no congratulation to the members. Per­ sonally one concludes them to be especially due to congratulation on the fact of such able leaders as the Rev. Er. Moss and the Committee, to whom is due the origination and <;omi>leton of the present excellejit building. By Canmi Richardson, who. of course, sees a good deal of the diocese, the club was described as the besit it contained, ft only remains -now for the members to ntlly round the leaders and get out of the club till the benefits it is capable of bestowing.

Inman (Leckby Villa, Thirsk) and Mr. Wil­ liam Wilcock (the Cravens, Wennington, Lancaster), and the referee w.ts AH. John, Whittaker (Holme Houses Grindleton, near Clitheroe). The show was of larger dimen­ sions than in any preceding year, and some sjilendid slock was forward. In the class for aged rams, the first prize wa,s awarded to an animal owned by Mr. Thomas Woof, of Borrett. Sedbergh, which w.as bought by Air. J. C. Clapham, of Benthani; for ;£8. The second prize-winner in the same class belonged to Mr. J . Hoggarth, Alanor House Slyne, Lancaster, and was secured by Air. Whittaker, Garstaiig, Lancashire- for ;£8


lOi. Shearling rams elicited some keen com-


petiliuu and spirited biildiiig. The execu­ tors of the late T. Willis, Cariierby, were the owners of the fir.st-prize taker— a splen­ did animal which fully deserved the distinc­ tion. In addition to winning the prize in its class this animal carried off the cham- pionship bowl offered by the society for the best animal in the show. Bidding commenced at twenty guineas, and was car­ ried to thirty-one guineas before the pur­ chaser was declared to be Air. Fothergill, of Raveiistonedale. Ram lambs, the properly of breeders with


not more than ten eweS; was not a big class. The first-prize winner was from the stock of Mr. Stainton, Killington, Kirby Lonsdale, and was sold to Air. S. Shutt, Hellifield. for ;£io. Consignments of three ram lambs at­

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS AND CHOIR EXCURSION.


By the generosity of Col and Mrs. Asimi-


all the Church Sunday School teachers anil choir enjoyed a pleasant day’s outing to Lytham and Blackpool -on Saturday. The party, numbering twenty live,, made un early start. The junior members, conducted by the Vicar and Airs. Phillips breakfasted at Lytham, visited the Parish Church and Vicarage, where Cainon Hawkins, the much respected blind vicar of Lytham, gave them a hearty welcome a_d interested them with his kiindly talk. They then proceeded by the shore and incoming tide to Eairhaven. where the miniature lake attracted them for a time, boating being indulged in. After isited the new church of St. Paul’s they


took the tram to Blackpool and joined the rest of the party at Parker's Restaurant having a good dinner. In the afternooti the seniors, who had spent the morning amongst Blackpool’s many attractions, en­ joyed a pleasant drive to Poultoti; thi^ whole party subsequently meeting at tea. At the conclusion of the repast the Vicar referred to the kind interest taken by Col. and Mrs. Aspinall in the choir and Sunday school. On the present occasion they were defraying the entire cost of the expenditure and he knew it was as an expression of their satisfaction at the work done and as an enco-uragement to further efforts. Alessrs. W. Robinson and H. Hardacre heartily ex­ pressed In the usual form the grateful thanks of the party to Col. and Airs. Aspinall after w’hich there was a general dispersal till train time. Beautiful weather prevailed all day.
