preached from the words = “ They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eaglet;, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint. ’


Jesus Christ,


when he was with us in the flesh, said the preacher, knew what it wtis to be weary in doing the will of God, but he was quite .shre He never knew what it was to be weary of doing the will of God. Peopl<3 olen were weary of doing God's will. No doubt there were some young people i>res- eiu who were troubled with the thought of “ always” doing God’s will, and the diffi- ailiy of doing it without getting weary or tired out.


the opposite, censorious with their charac=_ ters. They instinctively trust you if they know you look on the bright side, and in­ stinctively distrust you if they find you dwell on the seamy side, and they go away with the thought that so and so spoke unkindly of some one, 1 wonder if the day will come when the same will happen of me. Let us be gentle with one another’s characters. A person's good name, as Shakespeare tells us, is more precious than the purse. He ho steals the purse steals trash; but’ he ho filches from me my good name takes


that which enriches him not but which beggars me. This is a little of the prac­ tical side of what is before us as consistent Christians. We must be strong in the fight, and God will help us.”


ST. MARY’S CHURCH. On Thursday evening flie Bishop con­ If was not very easy to dis­


connect the thought of work from weariness, hut still they knew it was perfectly possible according to the law^ of nature that governed matter that there should be mo­ tion and rest at the same time. “ Suppos­ ing vou throw a stone into the air, and( imagine for a moment the two forces beat­ ing against the course of that stone, taken away, the force of gravity dragging it down to the earth and the force of the atmos­ phere; just suppose for a moment ihei«i two forces taken away, what would hap­ pen? The stone would go on mounting and mounting; there would be nothing to stop it. The home in which we live revolves round its orbit and iu another motion round itself, travelling half a million miles through 5p.ice during the hour we are in church to­ night, and if it did not do so it would not he at rest. Now just transfer that thought into the spiritual and religions sidiere, that of vourself as serving God without eoiuiter- actions, friction taken away, because there is no sin. no devil to tempt you. All these thitigs taken away it would be as ea,sy to serve Christ as to breathe, as difficult to .sm as it would be to die. That is the coil'- dition of things in heaven. Angels serve God withou t weariness; they reiit not neither night nor day. and yet they always rest. The service of God is a service in which we can mount up with wings as c.igles. in which we may ruti and noi be weary, and walk and not taint. Here we shall have friction and difficulty. Earth, like the force of gravity, drags us down, and the social atmosphere is sometimes agiiiu.st the bringing forth of the fruits of tire higher life, hut time and time again have I been struck with the maimer iu which those h'- iiig in nndean surroundings have been able to keep themselves pure and clean.


ducted a confirmation service at St. Mary s Church, Clitheroe. The sacred edifice w;is crowded to the doors long before the time for the commencement. There were 150 candidates connected with St. Mary's—53 males and 97 females—prepared by the Rev. H. Wrigky, five females and three males,


total eight, from M’hitewell, prepared by Rev. Andetton, and one from Padiham under the Rev. R. Coverdale. In his address to the confirmees Bishop ‘earson took them back to the time of their


innocent infancy. Atlam in thei garden of Eden was innocent but not virtuous, becau.se he knew not wrong, but when he partook of the forbidden fruit he found out the dil- ference between right and wrong. He had been mechanically good, good like a watch that could not go wrong so long .-v; the work- ngs were right. Hut there wa.s something


better than mechanical goodness. T'hey believed that a child was innocent but virtue as better than innocence. It was a higher nd a grander thing to choose between right nd wrong whein they knew both than to


always go on the right wax’ because thev could not do otherwise. Whilst the child wa; not responsible they and he were re­ sponsible and God in Christ had now made it possible to rise to a higher moral level than they could have done had he not plant­ ed the tree of knowledge in the garden of Eden.


WISWELL. PARISH MEETING. The annual Parish Meeting for the tow n-


ship of Wiswell was held in the M'isvvell National School on Monday evening, Mr. John Nuttall presiding over a small allend- ance. The minutes of last annual meeting were passed. Various complaints were made about bad repair of various styles and footpaths in the township and a resolution was passed calling the attention of the Dis­ trict Council to the matter.

CHATBURN. On Wednesday evening the Bishop of


Burnley conducted a confirmation service at Chatburn Parish Church, before a large congregation. The 'Vicar (Rev. R. D. H. Grey) took part in the service which opened with the hymn, “ Father name of love and fear.” Prior to confirming them the Bishop addressed the candidates on the important step they were taking, and earn­ estly appealed to them to continue to sleii higher in the spiritual life. After the lay­ ing on of han^ the Bishop said now llv-w were made full members of the Church by confirmation, let them exercise moral courage, and remain strong, steadfast and consistant Christians. He spoke of the necessity of daily devotion to prayer and not to neglect the reading of the Bible. The service concluded with the hymn “ Thine for ever God of love. ’ The candidates numbered 28, 9 m.ales and 19 females, from the villages of Chatbum, Downham and Worston.


BAZAAR AT


WATERLOO WESLEY. OPENING CERExMONIES.


On Wednesday afternoon the members


and workers at Waterloo Wesley an School- Chapel , Clitheroe, opened a three days’ bazaar, in preparation for which they have been busily engaged for mouths piust, and by which they hope to clear off the greater part of the debt left upon the shoulders of the Committee by the recent enlargement scheme. This scheme was very success­ fully carried out, and the result is enlarged and improved premise,;, with increased class­ room accommodation, but the cost amount­ ed to something like AbtSO- Towards this amount the sum of


has been


reased by various efforts and including a grant of


from the General Chapel


Euiid, leaving the balance still to be pro­ vided. By the conclusion of the bazaar proceedings it is hoped the greater part of this will have been raised. The people of M'aterloo, however, are


nothing if not active in the cause they have at heart, and on the bazaar project being initiated willing workers set to work, the ladies plying nimble and tireless fingers in the manufacture of goods destined to cause unlimited wonder to the mere male, while the men faced the tasks usually falling to their ponioii with a similar measure of suc- CBS.S, the result being that at the opening ceremony the six stalls were simply crowd­ ed with article.s of divers quality, price and service. The stalls were arranged round the room, draped with art muslins, banners, etc., and on these the wares were tastefully arranged.

'There was a numerous assembly at the


opening ceremony, which was performed by the Mayor (Coun. Whipp), who was accom­ panied bv Mrs. Whipp, Coun. Hardape presiding." There were present in addition to th« names given above the Revs. A. Bax­ ter, A. Grime, W. Murray and E. Apperley Aid. and Mrs. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. J . A. Wade, Mrs. R. L Hargreaves, Mrs. R. Southvvorth. Misses Greenwood, Mr. J . J. Carter.

'The proceedings oixmed vvttli the sing­ ing of a hymn, followed by prayer f.y Rev.


W. Murray. 'The Rev. A. Baxter at the outset intro­


duced Coun. Hardacre as Chairman and Coun. Whipp as opener and said the bazaar committee and the members and workers of the church felt it a great honour to have two such gentlemen to take part in the opening ceremony. 'They had had the ex- Mayor at Waterloo on a previous occasion, and he was sure they would also find in the Mavor a verv good friend. (Applause). Coun. Ha’rdacre, in responding to the


duties of Chaiirman, said he had certainly made a resolution as to future engagements, but when Mr. Baxter called upon him, and said he was wanted again at Waterloo he felt he ought to take the duty. About two years ago he laid a foundation stone


He had very great pleasure in attending that aftenioon and seeing the work then in hand completed, and he hoixd the biuld- ings would prove successful and useful so long as the W’esleyan body were in Clith­ eroe. A work of that description carried on by working people was a task of no mean order. They had laboured hard, and he gave them credit for being an active body of workers. He was especially pleased to have to stand there to introduce to them his friend. Councillor Whipp, their worthy Mayor. (Applause). 'They had grown up in the town together and spent their livus amongst the inhabitants, and he could as­ sure them when the civic robe fell from bus shoulders last November to those of Cotin. Whipp hf was [ileased almost beyond measure. (Applause). Coun. Whipp in his life and work had set them an example well worth imilating, and it was very creditable to any town to have such men amongst its citizens. He again expressed the hope that the bazaar proceedings would be crowned with success and that before long they would be free from debt, and able to launch out and send out their words of sympathy to the people with more ease than heretofore. (Applause). 'The Mayor had a cordial reception. Fie


said from "what Coiiii. Hardacie had said they miglit think that his worship the Mayor was" something out of the ordinary, but he was pleased to say he was not, but only an ordinary person—(laughter)—and not quite as perfect as the ex-Mayor had set out. (Laughter). He was very pleased to be present for the purpose of performing the opening ceremony of the bazaar. A church had been in existence in Waterloo, he !>■./- lieved, about twenty-eight years, and recent'- ly they had carried out "an enlargement scheme, the object of the bazaar being to clear off the remaining debt. 'They had had got together a splendid assortment of goods. ;ind all that was required was that they should be turned into money. FTe wished the event every stuxess. and in de­ claring the sale open ex[iressed the hope that if the whole of the amount reqiu'red w.as not forthcoming the greater jiarl would be achieved. (Applause). The Rev. A. Baxter at this juncture ex­


plained that they required to raise about ^380 to clear the premises iff all debt and I’abilitv. They would receive a grant of


^ 7 3 from the General Chiqiel Fund. Ihey would be glad if they could dear ;^230 l:y thei bazaar. Of course, they were aiming


at ;£ 3oo, I'Ut it was always well lo aim high and then they generally came some­ where near their requirements. Mr. J . J . Carter jiroposed a vote of


thanks to the Mayor. He said it was a somewhat singular thing that vyhen a gen­ tleman—especially like Mr. Whipp, who had an important business to look after— took upon himself the multifarious duties connected with the Mayoralty and the Council thev svemed to think that they ought to take up a bit more of theT time by requesting their attendance at other gatherings. However, Mr. Whipp had been most willing to attend the various functions h id in the town, and he deserved their heartv thanks, if not out of place at that momdit he would like to coiigrauilate Coun. Whipp on being Mayor of the Borough when there was the likelihood of the town prospering considerably, (hear hoar). .-Md. Robinson, he beVievod, inlended lo second the vote of thanks and as Chairman of the Flighwavs Committee he would like to call his attention to the dearth of dwellinghmises in the Borough at the present lime. lu connection with their own works he conlcl

was then proceeded with. YESTERDAY’S CEREMONY.


The bazaar waa re-opened yesterday alte’ t;


noon by Mrs. W. L. Grime, Clitheroe, Mj/j. J . H. Clegg, Whalley, presiding. Therij was again a good attendance, including th,.. Revs. A. Baxter, J . Bassmore, W. Murra, ' and E. Appetley.


jy, 'The Rev. A. Ba.xter said Wednesday’ ! :


sales had exceeded their most sanguine eij,, pectations, and he hoped the proceeds tha; , day would prove a good second. He wa;: pleased to see amongst them Mrs. Grimij'.


•and Mr. Clegg, who had shown their wami; interest in the work. Mr. Clegg said there had been an agitaj


tion in some parts of the country againsj bazaars, he did not know what progresij they were making, but so far as he could seiy the time had not yet come when bazaan! had fallen into discuse as a means of raisinfl money for religious objects. He had at! tended a few, and they all knew how ilj brought the congregation together, and how; the sympathies of everyone were enlisted.; 'There seemed to be a mutual sympathy and! desire for the success of die undertaking.Ft Bersonally he knew most of the people at|b Waterloo well, and he had been interested|b; in watching how the enlargement scheme;'| would go oil. He kiie.w tlie heartiness ofbi the people and that their souls were in thej 'y work, and when they considered what they|>j had had to contend with and the seeming!yJ-/J small resources they had at their disposal j; they as outsiders must congratulate them:b' very highly indeed upon the success of their;/;, undertaking, (hear hear). He trusted thej-i' work would continue to prosper, and that«; that place would prove an even more sue-:;!! cessful means of spiritual good than in the past. There was now ample accommoda- 'j; tioii. Concluding he congratulated theb;:,;|;ij workers on the assortment and quantity of|i;p:f; articles offered, and said he was very pleased they were likely to achieve the object they ItM'.' had set themselves.


i r Mrs. Grime, on rising, had a cordial re-


ception. She said: “ -As most of you are i aware I am not accustomed to public speak- F ing you will not be' disappointed at my F short .speech. It is not speech-making you ‘f have come to listen to this afternoon, but f to take part in business of a very' practical 'iji kind.


talkers, but if they are good talkers they are also good workers, and if a Church decides to have a bazaar or any other similar e vp t J a large amount of work falE on the ladies, J most of which they do very cheerfully.


I


am sure ;i.s we look round and sec the room in its present state you will conclude with ,i me that the amount necessary ought to be j; realised if not to-night at least by the close on Saturday. I am sure- [ wish the bazaar every success, and I have the very greatest pleasure in declaring the bazaar open.'’


(Applause). Nlr. Johnson and the Rev. E. Apperley


proposed and seconded a vote of thanks to Mrs. Grime for her services. Mr. Appeir-

lev said the ladies always performed any ta'sk they had put to them with dignity and grace, and they would all agree that Mrs. |ri Grime had opened the bazaar with very great dignity and grace. Looking round Cbtheroe he was sure we had not yet gob bevond the Lancashire Witches, and hc( had come to the conclusion that in Clith­ eroe we had as many attractive young and middle-aged ladies as any' other town. Clith­ eroe was certainly not behind in beauty*,, and grace, and dignity. (Laughter and Ap­


plause). 'The vote was acknowledged. Mr. Firth proposed a vote of thanks to


th I Chairman referring to his interest in Waterloo. He was always welcome whether preaching a sermon, giving an address, or acting as Chairman at a bazaar, and they knew they had his sympathy. Mr. B. Fell seconded.
