THE GEITHEROE TIME& FRIDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1905- CLITHEROE


1 Wesleyan Methodism in * \ * * ♦ Clitheroe and District.


'


TH E C L I T H E R O E C I R C U I T . BY REV. J . PASSMORE.


It has already been stated that Clitheroe


was at lirst in the Colne circuit, then in the Skipton Circuit which was formed from Colne in 1801, and that it became a seperate circuit in 1814, the year Adam Clarke was Pre*i- deiit of the Confeirence for the second lime.


f have before me a circuit plan


(or si.v months— .•kpril 29th to October 21st —for the year 1821. It has been very kindly lent me by Mr. A. D. I'airweather, and came into his possession from his late father-in-law Mr. Joseph Hayes (Mr. W. J. Harrison of WhMIey has one for 1818 j diev are much alike). It would be inter­ esting to reproduce it but the simpler method (or the compositor will be to give some particulars from it. First as to preaching places, they ware as follows: Clitheroe, Bradford, Downham, Stopper Lane, Ba^hall Eaves. Whalley, Haythornef, Gisburn, Bar- lev. Broadings, Sawley, Waddington, Har- rop, Chatburn, Worston, SlaidburiL Pen­ dleton, Dunsop Bridge, Pye Cross; nineteen


places in all. Clitlieroe had a morning service on al­


ternate Sundays and afternoon and evening service every Sunday. Bradford, morning service on alternate Sundays, and afternoon service every Sunday. Downham, Stopper Lane and Sawley after­ noon and evening,


the afternoon


service at Sawley being oh alternate Sundays only; Waddington, Chatburn and Whalley evening serx'ice only, and all the other places afternoon service only; Pye Cross, Dunsop Bridge, Pendleton, Slaid- bum, Worston and Barley only being favoured once a fortnight, and Broadings only once in three weeks. Once a month Whalley was supplied by the Blackburn preachers. Bashall Eaves and Paythorne also had a morning service. In all there were twenty two services to


be ftrovided for every Sunday for the nine­ teen places; and a comparison with the present time will be interesting. There are at present fifteen places on the plan and twenty si.\ services have to be provided for each Sunday, and in addition to that a fortnightly one at Bolton. Barley, of course, is now in the Nelson Circuit, while Broadings. Worston, Pendleton, Dunsop Bridge and Pye Cross have dropped out. Bradford is worked by the United Method­


ist Free Church. The following is a list of the Preachers.


Tranter and Hiley, Ministers, or Tiravelling Preachers as they were then called. T he local preachers were Messrs. Watson, Barnes, Broxup, Whipp, Dean- Parker, Boothman, Pattison, Chippindale, 1 bom­ ber, Greenhalgh, Wilson, Furnes^. Bullcock, Mcehlah, J. S. (Exhorter). There is a supplementary list that is undefined, but 1 imagine they are helpers from other cir- cuitis—probably from Colne, as the places they supply are principally Bariev Stopf)cr Lane and Sawley,^ and their appointments are verv few. Iheir names are Holgate, TunnycHffe, Homer, Moon


Farrar, Curedale, Nunnick. ■ ■It the foot of the plan is “A concise view of


the Wesleyan Methodists; from August 1739 to •■ kiigust 1820. or the last eight-one years. '


F'igures are given for vanons


years during the intervening period but I will content myself with quoting only the


first and last. . In 1739 Methodism had two 1 ravelling


preachers and ten members. In 1820 there were 1765 Travelling preachers, 1700 chapels (in Great Britain). 483,383 inem- liers, 467 circuits, 2 .\cadamies, 53 distnct.s. Well may the .summary end with “ what hath God wrought.' The plan was printed y


“ Whallev, ’ Clitheroe. . The space at mv disposal will not admit


of mv tracing the history of the circuit right 'along, and 1' can only, therefore, select a few incidents. It is evident that Sunday -School work has received considerable at- teniioii, and Mr. Fairweather has lent me a ■' filan of appointments for the visitors ot theWeslevan Methodist Sundav Scliooi Fnioii for the Clitheroe Circuit i»S*- There are twehtv visitors from various parts of the circuit and nine places on viz.. Clitheroe, Whalley, Downham, Stop^r l-iiiie, Slaidburn, Bashall Eaves, Waddm^ ton, Harrop. Gisbum. Each ^ h ^ l visited in- two of the visitors about once ill five or sf.x weeks, and sometimes oftener.

selected for the task.

various parts of the world. Dr. Coke sailed for the east in 1814,. but even then he had long been a Missionary. The first report of the Missionary Society was published, I believe, in 1816. I cannot, however, find any traces of Missionary organisation in the circuit until 1825. In 1823 the total amount remitted to the Mission House from Clitheroe Circuit was ;^57 6s. iiAd. In 1825 a Circuit Missionary Committee was formed. Here are the names of the members of that committee:


Wm. Arkwright; Treasurer. Thos. J. Cox, Secretary. Thos. Howarth. Chas. Eatcliffe. T. Greenh;dgh. John Kirk. Ed. Dean.


Richd. Willan. Jno. Scott. Hy. Watson. Jno. Winkley.


jQ^9- in 1827 it was a little over ;^4o, in 1^34


trouble it fell as low as ;^3o, but steadily rose again to nearly


In 1826 the amount contributed was 8s. 3d. Then in the years of in 1852. From


that point it increased until in 1890, the amount was ^£150 los. 9d. Since that it has fallen as low as £106 7s. 9d., but last year it reached the gratifying total of £12^ 7s. 9d. The circuit stands well in the Bolton district in the comparative state­ ment of the average contribution per mem­ ber. The following list of contributions to


Circuit Funds will be of interest in many ways and will also show what places con­ stituted the circuit in 1814.


It may be


mentioned that the circuit started its career with account Ijooks tliat cost tlie large amount of 6s. TTie total amount con- trilnited for the first quarter was ;^23 12s. id. Here are the details; Methodist readers


will of course understand the phraseology, (luarterage indicates the amount.s obtained from contributions in the classes.

it is interesting to note that tile Income exceeded the expenditure by £ 5


5i4-


level quarter by quarter, and for quarters it just met the expenditure. Ihe income then diminished and the result of course was a deficit. 1 hen the contribu­ tions increased but the deficit remained. In July t8i6 Bolton first appears as send-


iii" a contribution, and the contributions from other places rose and then fell again pareiciilarlv the Quarterly Collections, and on December 30th, 1816, the deficit had risen to .£15 os. 7W.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS. TtlE VAGR.k.VCY PROBLEM.


FARM COLONY PROPOSALS. The fortnightly meeting of the Clitheroe


Board of Guardians was held at the Y'ork- house on Mond.ay. Mr. R. C. Assheton, C.A., presided, and there were also present Mrs. W. L. Griitiei. Miss Seftort, the Rev.s. Canon YTIson and Fr. Pinnington, Col. Aspinall. Messrs. R. Assheton. W. Braith- w.aite, G. J. Holme, G. Turner, T. Robinson H. Watson, E. Moore, J. R. Thompsom S. Green, F. Parmeter, J. W. Gill, R. Banv bef. J. H.

THE SICKLY WOllKEB


DOES HALF THE WORIC, EARNS HALF THE WAGES, AND IS ONLY HALF A MAN.


DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS RESTORE FULL STRENGTH.


An energetic young man. Mir. Thomas


Burling, residing at 7, Old Mill-street, Dudley, does not hesitate to tell how much Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People have done for him. “ I began to suffer,” he states, “ from


severe headaches and pains in the stomach which followed the constant taking of weakening purgatives. Then a bad attack of influenza so shattered my nerves that I had to give up work for a time. My healtli became worse; 1) went off food; my strength seemed broken, and I really feared I might have to give up work altogether— I was such a physical wreck. The pros­ pect was gloomy, when I was induced to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The relief obtained from the first few doses was as­ tonishing. My iieadaches vanished, F could eat with relish, and new blood began to course through jny veins. I can trulv say Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured me speedily, and that cure remains permanent. walk long distances .now, and tackle work


with energy." Every worker and employee, however


lowly his position, is a wlieel in the machin­ ery that works a linuse of business. If he is ill, work suffers, and employers finally say, “ Yery sorry, but you must make way for another. ’ All workers must remain in good health. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a true help to workers. They maintain strength, stimulate appetite, tone the nerv­ ous system., and disperse sick headaches and neuralgia. They cure anaemia- general debility, indigestion, bile, rheuma­ tism. sciatica, paralysis, and the effects of overwork or excess. All dealers sell Dr. 3Viilliams' Pink Pills for Pale People; in case of doubt .send direct, to Dr. William.s’ Medicine Co., Holborn-viaduct, enclosing 2.S. 9d. for one bo.x. or 13s. 9d. for six boxes.


confirmed. HOUSE COMMITTEE.


.-\t the meeting of the House Committee


on Thursday last week it was resolved to ask Messrs. John Bleazard and Sons to sub­ mit a plan and spedfication for the [irovision of additional exits at the imbecile wards at the Workhouse for use in case of fire. It was also resolved that the question of


additional accommodation for ragrants be djourned sine die. Elijali Hall was afipointed night fireman


at a wage of 5s. a week. 'I'lie recommendations of the committee


were afiproved by the Board. THE YAGRANCY PROBLEM. FARM COLONY PROPOSAL.


The Board again coiisddered the following


resolutions passed at the recent poor-law conference at Lancaster on the subject of agrancy: A : That this conference is of opinion


that the provision of farm and labour colonies under state control, or under a combination of Boards of Guardians of a. county, or of a combination of counties, for the more or less lengthy detention of habitual tramps offers the best prospect of favourable solution of the question., and desires the necessary legislation for this


purpose. B : 'Fhat this conference urgqs upon tlie


puljlic the undesirability of bestowing imlis- criminate alms, as it tends to foster tliat evil of vagrancy it is desired to lesson, C : That the attention of Bo.ards of


Guardians be drawn to die necessity of pro­ viding casuals with a mid-day meal before leaving the wards. D : That the Boards of Guardians within


the N'orth-Western Poor Law Conference District and of Unions within Cumberland ind Westmoreland comprised in Mr. Jenner- Fust’s district, be requested to eacli appoint 1 repre.5entati\-e to serve upon an inter- coimty committee for the purpose of deriving tlie best meatis of carrying into effect the resolutiotis passed at the conferetice. Mr. Assheton move’d the following resolu­


in tlie


evening the delegates adjourned to the Congregational school, where the members of the Read Liberal Club were holding their annual conversazione. The room was very tastefully decorated and presented a yery pleasing appearance. Again Councillor Stansfield presided. The proceedings were opened by Mr. C. A. Doran, of Rochdale. A hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr. Doran for his able speech, moved by Aider- man Hudson, of Nelson, and seconded by Mr. Duerden, secretary to the Federation. The artistes were:— Soprano, Miss F. Wil­ son; contralto. Miss A. Helliwell; tenor, Mr. S. Travis; bass, Mr. R. Sfultard, all of Colne, wiio rendered a high-class pro­ gramme of qua.rtettes, duets, songs, etc,, in


a creditable manner. A most enjoyable evening was spent.


The safe ingatliering of the harvest was


celebrated by special services at tlie Water­ loo Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday, when suit- harvest d^orations were employed. Mr. H. A. Rose, of Accringtonv was the


tion, of which he had given notice; “ ’Flint this Board, in the absence of any informa­ tion as to how it is proposed that farm and lalioiir culoiries should be worked cannot determine whether it is desirable or other­ wise that such colonies should be formed. The Board, therefore, must decline for the present to appoint a representati\-e to ser\-e on an iiiler-couiity committee for the pur- furse of devising the best means of carrying into effect the resolution which was passed at tlie Conference, declaring that the pro­ vision of sucli colonies offers the best pros- (K-ct of a favourable solution of the ques­ tion. ’ Ntr. .A.ssheton said he was utterly at a loss to know what was nieaiit liy tramp colonies. He thought when he was pre­ sented with a copy of the official report of the conference that he would have been able to find some account of wltat llie gentlemen wiio firofiosed to establisli tranif) colonies meant to do with tiieni. how they meant to estalilisli them,, and to conduct them, and what good would come of them. But lie was not able to find any such account, it seemed to have lieen taken that evervliodi knew wliat a tramp colony was. So far as lie could gather from the speeclies that had been made the main idea seemed to lie that tile tranifis should lirst be caught and shut 11(1 for so many years, mndi in llie same way as they caiiglit and siiiit up iie'er-do-Mell little lioys of t4 or 15 years in i-cfni-niatortes and tiirned them out \er\ good little lioys. 'I'lie proposition seemed "o lie lliat tranifis should be dealt witli in the same wav; they were to be shut iif) and made to wo'rk, and not only so Init made to like work, and to be turned out resfiect- alile memliers of society. He would ven

not sluit their eves to the fact that they w-oiild be establishing not tramf) farms or colonies Imt tramp prisons, something be­ tween a gaol and a convict establisliment like Dartmoor. That would Ije an enor­ mous affair. Tliey would lime to have governors and warders ready witli their guns Ui slioot down the poor tramps if they de- ciiliid to run away instead of dig potatoes

T t L Circuit Funds. . It was not their business


the opinion of tlie Conference tramp colonies should be formed. He asked the Board to refuse to send a rejiresentative, because if one was appointed they would be saying they approved of farm colonio, and as yet they knew nothing whatever about them. Taking up a statement of Mr. Jenner-F’ust at the conference as to the legal position in regard to farm colonies, Mr. Assheton contended that at present there was not, in law, any power to put a j tramp into a colony, and if he liked to go into one. no one could keep him there more


than two days, and therefore farm colonies could not be founded without fresh legisla­ tion. At the previous meeting Mr. Green had .-isked him to suggest a better system of dealing with the tramps than by farm colonies, and in reply to that he wou?tl re­ commend the Guardians to make full use of the provisions of the Act of 1882. Hitherto the Clitheroe Board had not been able to feel the full benefit of the Act owing to the fact of insufficient cell accommoda­ tion. and they ought now to go forward with the proposal for the erection of additional cells, which had recently been before the Board and which he had hoped would have been completed by now. He urged tliem to use present powers, and allow those wlio cared to erect castles in the air in the form of tramp colonies to do so. Canon Wilson seconded the motion. Tliey


knew nothing of the scheme of farm colonies, and ought not to step into some­ thing of \v!-iich they knew nothing. Mr. Green said at the previous meeting


Mr. Jeniier-Fust had laid it down veiy- cleariy that if a representative was sent to the ccimmittee the Board would not be bouiid in any way, and he thought someone ouglit to represent the Board. Whatever peofilo might say it was time something was done in the malter, and the object of fhe committee, so far as he was able to gather, was really for representatives to meet and clisciLSs the best means ot coping with the difficulty. It was pointed out where farm colonies had been worked to great advan­ tage, and the proposal was worth enquiring ncu-e about. They could not do anything if they could not "meet in committee to ex< iiaiige views. Present machinery was not accumfilishing what it was intended to do, and if something was not done he did not see how the work of the Poor Law could be carried out except at very great expense. He would propose an amendment that a representative be appointed. Mr. Parmeter seconded. The argiimenls_


of the proposer and seconder seemed niainly 10 have been got from books and it was quite fiossible they had formed wrong opinions. We were living in fast times, the mailer was one of great urgency, and he lltought it would be a reflection on the Clith­ eroe Board of Giiardiaivs if they did not send a refiresentative to discuss the matter. The idea merely was to send a refiresent.-i- tive to hear what was said and what was proposed and submit a refiort to the Guar­ dians for further consideration. In that wav the Board would not be bound at all but rhev would be able to get the benefit of the opinions of the other gentlemen pres­ ent, and that, lie thought, was worth som>


tl.ing. Tlie Cliairman said certainly Mr. Jeiiner


l''iist led them to believe tliey would not be binding themselves at all. but at tlie same time thev had a specific resoliitton in black and while that by_ sending a refire.sen talive they would be joining in approval of resolution A, and on tliose terms he could not agree with the amendment, Mr. Green said the idea for tlie com­


mittee was really to find out some desirable scheme.


Col. /\spiitall said it appeared to him .


tliat if lliey sent a representative they would be expressing agreement of the proposal,


otlierwise lie would be inclined to sufiport


the ameiifimeiit. Mr. Thompson objected to the loriiiijtioii


of joint committees, for the Boards ot Cniar- tliaiis wouid have no control over them at
