On Simd..jy the annual harvest thahks-

was the Rev. F. A. N. Parker., Vic^ o Waddington, and in the evening Ouion Tohnsoiv Vicar .of Clayton-le-Moors. There were large attendances at both servic(». many being unable to obtain admittance m

danger of drifting into a thoroughly morbid state of mind, running the risk of becoming confirmed grumblers. We must make an effort to get out of this condition and let everyone earnestly sing with the psalmist, “ Bless thh Lord, O my poul and forget not all his benefits.” In recalling the p p t hard experiences of lift^» moments of bodily pain^ and times of perplexity and anxiety of mmd then it was that we received benefits from the hands of the Lord. The mixture w.ts always prepared according to our condi­ tion. These hard experiences of life were intended for our moral improvement and thus they became benefits to be remem­ bered. The preacher went on to describe the many person.al benefits received through suffering and other means. We saw around us people continually taken away while ive ourselves were spared because the heavenly Father had redeemed our lives from des- And so we ought to prove our

be cut off sooner than we were thinking. There was no time for idle frivolity or in disputing about trivialities which men for the most parti did dispute about. The Lord also provided all the food we required renewing our physical streugtli by means of food. Ought we not therefore, like the earliest Christiansi partake of our food with gladness and thanksgiving, praisitig God, the giver of these good things. Man. how­ ever, could not live by bread aioiie; he wanted a different food altogether; and this was supplied by our heavenly I ather. Great, however, :is wap the privilege of receiving the blessedness of being able to impart to others was greater still. Let us therefore give as our heavenly Father gives. Havm received so many benefits let tis_ not forget to impart blessings to others,, thinking that the blessings received were not merely for ourselves but having come from our heaven Iv father should brighten the lives of others. The feature of this service was its bright


said: On this day of harvest thanksgiving we render thanks to God for having mani­ fested His power and glory in the creation. “ Thine is the power.” Holy Scripture is full of the truth that “ jiower beloiigeth unto God.” The Ancients knowing nothing of the secrets which modem knowledge Inis revealed were vet. convinced that the invisi­ ble things of God, even His eternal power and God-head, were clearly manifested by the things v'isible. How much more would this truth have been borne in ujion their minds if thev had known what we moderns know about'the vastness of the universe! We talk of space, we live in space, and yet space is absolutely indefinable and unthink­ able. It is a circle of which the centre ip everywhere .and the circumference nowhere. In the presence of the :iwfuf mystery of the power of God manifested in the creation— the vastness, the grandeur, the sublimity and wondrous beauty of which is the time shadow of a stifl greater vastness and snb- limitv; the sublimity of the awful being of God— we can but confess that apart from God we are but “ a shadow less than shade,” “ a nothing le.ss than nothing,” for “ power belongeth unto God only. But, as Pascal pointed out, we stand between two infinitudes, above us is the infinitely great, beneath us the infinitely little. The Astronomer Vanini claimed to be able^ to prove the being and omnipotence of God from a .straw lying on his dungeon floor. In­ deed the power of God is as much inaii.- fested in little things as in great. For the lea.st of God’s works is as infinitely beyond the reach of oiir under.standing as the great­ est. So that every water drop, every tuft of mos.s, every st.aiii of grey or orange lichen on the crags of our mountain brand atheism with follv. and make any other attitude than that’of the deepest humility and rever­ ence in the presence of the mystery of the universe the sure sign of a shallow and frivolous nature. And if re.ason reveals to us the awfulness of God’s being, conscience no less surely whispers to us His revealed will. For the dread Creator of the physi- :al world is also the Lord of the moral life,


tlolt. DOWNHAM. The annual harvest thanksgiving services


at St. Leonard’s church were held on Sun­ day. The interior was decorated as usual with flowers, fruit and vegetables, and texts worked in flowers were placed in the trin- dows at the e;ist end of the Church., bearing the words “ Giver of all,'’ “ Glory.” and “ Honour.” The decorators were the ladies and a number of children. At the moniing service the Vicar preached an appropriate discourse from the text, “Leaves only”— St. Matthew 29-19. In the evening the Rev. A. E. Swallow, of Waddington occupied tlie pulpit. Sjtecial harvest music and hymns were rendered by the choir. Both services were well attended. The offertories were on behalf of the church expenses and real­


ised f 2 6s. 8d. in the evening Mr. Swallow spoke Irom


the moral Governor of mankind. Ive.ison and con,science are the two great Archangels which God has given to man to lead him along the j)ath of duty. ” I hine then is the power!’ Therefore it is utter madness for man to do anything but walk humltly with his God. And “ Thine is the glory !’| The word “ glory ” origiii.ally meant “lighl ’ or “ splendour,” and God Ls that light willi- out whom the phy,sical universe would sink into an abyss of darkness, the moral uni­ verse. into :in aby.ss of crime. God is that bodiless, imp.ilpable light from whose tin- emptiablc fountain our earthly light is but a spark, a dim shadow. Wluit, then, i,sthe lesson? If God be light then “ walk ye in the light.” ” Cast away the works of the darkness and put on the armour of light.” On the day of a harvest festival we naPirally dwell upon God’s manifestation of Himself in Nature. But Nature alone cannot give us a satisfying revealation of God. Nature reveals to us a God of infinite jiower aiicl wisdom. But our hearts cry out for a God of love. And it is through his Son Jesus Christ that God reveals Himself to as as love. F'or thip is the Gospel, tire love of God revealed in facie Cliristi. In Christ


alone, then, do we apprehend the glory of God. For God’s true glory is love and tlial glory shone in the face of Clixist. In Christ's light!, and life\. and love,, theti, do we see the light, the life, the love of God. In Him is revealed the will of the Father- that will of love which is the very heart and deepest secret of the universe. Oh! that each isoul here would hear Christs cal! “ Arise and shine for thy light is come. ’ In a very practical sermon to the evening


from the text, “ Forget not all his benefits ” _^Ps. 103 V. 2— Canon Johnson said like the psalmist we had benefits bestowed upon us and we ought not to forget the Divine Giver. Unfortunately, however, we were J verj’ prone to forget what had been givt to UR. forget our comforts and rememoer only our discomforts. Thus we wore in


the words, Isaiah IX. 3; “ They joy before thee, according to the joy in harvest.” He said: It is not an easy thing to be Christian, a Christian 1 mean not only in name but in .deed and in truth. It is not an easy thing to do God’s will as we ought We :ir’e but little children, weak, and every dav shews us more of our weakness, and that if we would resist the evil and do the good, we need helps. Now our He:iyenly Father knows our weakiie.ss, :iiid in His nn finite love He has provided us with hel])s for the purpose of making our task ea.sier, He has jiruvided us with direct heljis solely and entirely for our benefit, :is» for instanci in His Church. His miracles. His s:tcra- meiits. Public Worshi]i, Priv:ite Prayer and so on, helps which rightly used greatly aid us in doing His Will. But besides this. He has :lIso jirovided us with indirect helps. So that every incident of our daily life, every ex-ent that takes place, every occurrence iin dailv exercise is meant to teach us of God :iiid the higher life. Moreover, just :is we trv to teach our children by means of pic- tu're-s. liy the eye as well as the ear, so God ha,'; .surrounded His children with living p.c- tures. Everv God-m:ide object that xve en­ counter, every process in nature that meets the eye is a living picture. And In His church. His xvord. His ministers, we have the teacher,s who are to explain to us these pictures and tell us the hidden and spiriliuil truth which they contain. 'i'he lime of harvest is one of these j)ic-


tures.


Take a w:ilk now in the country. When ill the autumn time we he:ir The x esjiers of another year. The hymn of thanks and praise.


'I’lie eye revels in the various huesxvhicli


vegetation has put oir, yellow and orange, anibor and brown- crimson :ind russet, mingle in such profusion. Blusters of scar­ let berries hanging on the hedge, here and there a tree whose deep green 'is yet un­ touched, here and there a twig putting forth the fresheth emerald as if to anticipate next spring. This blaze of colour, this gorgeous


■ glorj' of the landscape appeals to the eye with the briUi:incy of ils splendour. And thoughts come ihrmiging thick and fast thoughts of joy tinged with sadjiess;, thoughts of failure and success, thoughts of ripeness hiiiStenfng to decay, thoughts of the


harvest and the reapers thoughts of I'ife and death and life again. Already the xvealth of herb and floxver is dying doxvn on the hedgerow, the blossoms are becoming rarer, soon the first frost xvill nip the last ro.se of summer. And as xve think .that all xvill die xve remember the complementarj- truth that nothing xvill die. The kindly fruits of the earth are gathered in and nature clad in robes of glory prepares to


sing her song of harvest home. We cannot attempt tcFnight to consider


all the lessons of harvest time. We must confine ourselves to one. For it we will look .on the bright side. It is the lesso'n of joy, joy in the harvest. And joy is meant to be a .spiritual help. God never intended His creatures to be sad and doxvneast. The melancholy Christian is like the soldier of


iiu.s,; and the heairty sitigitig of the coiigrega tioii, which were the subject of coiigrattila-


age. But whence comes this joy in harvest ? At first sight the time of harvest may speak of -sadness. No sight is more dreary than that of a field reaped and gleaned. All the surroundings, too, speak of desolation. The leaves are falling, the xvinter winds are be­ ginning to moan, the long dark nights are coming and the rain and mist and fog and snoxx'. Ex'erything speaks of decay and death. Yet to the man xvho looks back to the time xvhen the corn rose and fell like the waves floating in the sunlight, and of the well filled barns, this picture otherxvise so desolate is very suggestive of joy, the jov of harvest. There is the joy of xvork done. All is noxv still xvhere a short time ago. all xvas busy life. The farmer and his reapers, the women and children have gone home to rest. It is this that makes the harvest joy as real, because it comes after months of hard xvork. We alxvays value that which xve have to xvork hardest for. Then there is joy because fears are at an end. The time before the harvest is an anxious one. Many things ir..iv happen to jirevent the fruits of the e:i:“ - ."vom being hoiused. But at last the hai vest comes and fe.ars are at an end. Again this joy is :in univeisal one. Not only xve xvho live in the country and see the processes of the harvest have a .share in its joy. I hose xvho live in the busy city, in the teeming streets and croxx'ded houses, have a share too, for if a ba-d harvest is disaster to alb a good harvest is a joy to a ll When xve speak ■ of the harvest xve do not noxv mean only the harvest of this little country of ours, but of the whole world. It has been said that the harvest of this country produces only one out of every seven loaves required for the peojile of this country, the other six are provided from the harvests of lands beyond the sea. This joy then must be universal. Then the harvest itself is the gift of God

T. Robinson. The minutes of the previous meeting were


confirmed. CELA.TBURN BROW. The question of the improvement of Croxv


Trees Brow, Chatburn, was again considered a complaint being made at the previous meeting as to its slippery slate. The Clerk (Mr. John Ea-'tham) said he


Man may plant and soxv, but it is God that gix-es the increase. Our harvest festival Ls a protest against the materialism of the lay, our recognition of our belief in an over­ ruling creator, xx'ho ordereth all things both in heaven and in earth. If our joy then is holy where c:tn xve better shoxv it forth than together in this church, the pl:tco where God has chosen to place His name there. Here there is no distinction between rich and poor, all are alike, xve werq baptized :it the same font;, xve kneel at the same altar say the same prayers, sing the -same hymtis and listen to the same loving message from our Heavenly Father. Wliere can xve then better together .shew forth our joy than here­ to the Father xvho croxvneth the year xvhh His goodness.


GRluNDLETON. On Sunday the annual harvest thauks-


giviiig services at the Parish Church were marked xvith every success. The sacred edifice xvas suitably adorned xvith harvest emblems, corn, bracken; and dahlias forming the greater part of the decorations. 1 he font xvas also very prettily bedecked xvith dahlias and roses. A number of ladies of the parish carried out the xvork of decorat­ ing. in the morning the Vicar preached from the text “ I am the living bread’ wliich he treated by bringing out the con­ nections betxveeu this discourse of our Lora and the service of Holy Communion xvhich xv:is to folloxv. Ill the evening Mr. Ackerlcy preaclied


from the text St. John 6c., gv. : “ There is a laJ here, xvhich hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but xvhat are they amjng so many?” He said all ought to be grit;- fuL for the introduction of the practice of celebrating the festival of the harvest. There xvas so much dull, routine xvork con­ nected xvith agriculture that they xvere apt to forget that after they had sown the seed that it was God who gave the increase; and harvest thanksgiving serx’ices were a re­ minder of this. They xvere helped to for-


get thenrselves and to remember God. In the fruits of the earth, so glorious in colour­ ing, and delightful in their manifold shape; and beauty, they could,, if they xvould, recog- ni.se God’s own beauty and glory and r ys- tery and xvonder, and it xvas that omnipres­ ence that he xvished them to be quick to recognise. The preacher referred to the lives of three ^reat examples of this, Gregory the Greaq xvho recognised in group of boy slaves in the market at Rome a call to the conversion of England; 'the Sxvedish botanist, xvho on his first seeing


gorze bush in floxver fell doxvn on his knees adoring God, recognising in it divine beauty


and St. Andrew, who uttered the xvords of the text, “There’s a lad here with live barley loaves :ind Ixvo small fishes; .but xvhat are they among so many ? ■’ In that they saxv that Andrew had an inkling of xvhat was to folloxv. Txvo important lessons from the character of Andrexv stood out; one xvas that they should be ready like lum to find out a brother to xvhom to.,proclaim the gos- jiel of Jesus Christ. Hoxv vastly different Church history xvould read it tliey acted as Andrexv did on all the little duties of houseliold life, if the lieathoii at our ow doors aR xvell as the heathen abroad xvere cared for and ministered to, land there xvas more readiness to share our presence xvith strangers. The second lesson xvas that they should be ever looking for the mani feitations of the glpiy of Gotl. It was per­ haps only here and there they might expect men of the type of the examples he had named, but if the faculty xvas rare it xvas all the more xvorth cultivating— the faculty of


' recognising manifestations of the divine, the consciousness of standing always in the


i presence of God. Step by step they might attain 'to the* constant habit of recog-


' nising the presence of God, so that in every ■ thing around them they might recognise the ^miracles of God. They xvould come to recognise God in xx’hat.xvas famiiliar and household and xvhich did not readily seize ■ upon the imagination!, and was in conse-

had communicated xvith the Main Roads Committee of the Coxmty Council, and had receix'ed a reply to the effect that the mat­


ter xvas having attention. The Chairman said he had received a


communication from Mr. Abbot (of the Bold Venture Lime Company) on the subject, protesting against granite being laid on the road, especially xvhen good limestone xvas near at hand, 'owing to the increased cost


and the effect on the rates. The Chairman s:tid he had replied to the


.etter stating that he understood it xvas only intended to trx- a sheeting of granite on the brow in orde'r to remedy the slipperiness but .if the trees could be removed and so alloxv tlie xvind and sun to get at llic ro:id it xvould probably do axvay xvith the neces­


sity. A letter xvas also read from Mr. Schofield


(County Surveyor) xvho said he had directed the laying of the granite as in his opinion the most feasible xvay of remedying tihe slippery state of the road, but if the trees on either side coulcl be removed he did not think the graniite xvould be necessary. His desire had simply been to remedy com­ plaints that had been jiistiliably made as to the surface of the broxv, and they had no intention to substitute granite for limestone in any other part of Chatburn. He Iiad instructed Mr. Raweliffe (the local surveyor) not to proceed xvith laying the granite until it was ascertained what could be done with


regard to the trees. Eventually it xvas resolved that the Clerk


xvrite Mr. A. I. Robinson oxvner of land by the roadside pointing out the condition of the broxv, and the overshadoxving by the trees as the probable caust( and expressiii] a desire tlxat lie xvould see his xvay to have some of the trees removed.


THE NEW ENGINE. The Clerk said he had obtained sanction


from the Local Government Board for the borrowing of the sum of ;£38o, and recom­ mended that a loan of £200 be obtained from the Craven Bank at 4 per cent., to be repaid in eight equal instalmentss and the remaiindei;, ;£i8o, taken from the balance. This course xvas adopted. It xvas decided to appoint John E. Wil-


mott, Clitheroe, driver of the iiexv eiiguie at a xvage of 25s. per xveek.


THE BUDGET. The Clerk submitted his estimate of


general exjxinses for the half year ending March next, as folloxvs: Salaries, £ i6 g ;


spector £ s2 ; county bridges £24 ; steam road roller £20 ; bank interest, etc , bring- ing up the total to £301. and leaving £1818 to be raised. To meet this the Clerk recommended a rate of gd. in the £, against gid. for the past half year. The estimates xvere approved.


MEDICAL OFFICER’S REPORT. The Medical Officer (Dr. T. T. Macklin)


submitted his report for the quarter ended June,, in which he stated that the health of the community had been excellent. The deaths numbered 10. equal to a rate of 6.85 per thousand per annum. One infantile death occurred, and only txvo in persons tinder 65 years of age, the remainder being over 65 years of age, and one 85. The births numbered 25', equal to a rate of 17.11 per thousand per annum. There had been three notifications of infectious disease, all scarlet fever, one each in Chipping. Thorn- ley and Whalley, but there had been no spread of the disease from the source named.


THE DANGER OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE.


A letter was read complaining of a resi­


dent ill the Thornley district neglecting to isolate one of h'is children while suffering from scarlet fever, and himself following his daily occupation, and attending mar­ kets. and calling attention to the danger of


the practice. The Surveyor also mentioned a similar


case at Bailey xvhere the child had been allowed to mix xvith other children. It xvas resolved that proceedings be taken


in the last named case. DIPHTHERIA .\T WOODFiELDS. The Medical Officer submitted a special


report on an outbreak of infectious disei^e at Woodfields, and commented on the in- sanitarv conditions of the dxveUing.s. The coiixenience for two houses xvas in the gar­ den in front of the dwellings, at a distance of 30 vards. xvas in a dilapidated condition, sxvarniing xvith vermin, and a danger to life. In an unoccupied house adjoining there was a sanitary conx-enience, but xvithout anx cis­ tern or flushing apparatus, and had to be cleansed bv hand, and xvas connected with an old prix'y at the end of the house.
