SALE OF WORK AT -S k i .


^ " ' " ‘ ' m o o r '^l a n e .


Ol’liNlYG BY THE MAYORESS. On Wednesday evening a sale of work


and jumble mart was held at the Moor Bane School with the object of raising about ,£70 to liquidate a debt standing against church expanses. The event proved a very successful one. A varied jujsortment of useful and ornamental mods had been got together, a large por­ tion the result of sewing meetings attepded bv the ladies of the congregation, and these ivere displayed on stalls running down one side of the room. Prior to the sale a pub­ lic tea was provided, and at this a numerous i-atheriug was present. ° The opening of the sale took place at 6-0 o'clock, the cerlemony being performed bv the Mayoress (Mte. Conn. Wliipp) in the presence of a good company. Mrs. Councillor Grime presided, and


there were also present on the platform the M.avoress, the Mayor (Coun. J. T. Whipp), the Rev. J. Billington, Mrs. Porter, Aid. T. Cmvgill, Cotins. J. Scott and J. Windle and Mr. Newton Aspden .ind Mr. J. W. Hay-


hurst.


to the position of chairwoman in suitable ) stalls why the amount should not be raised, terms, exiiressing appreciation of Mrs. (Applause) Grime's kindness in coming amongst them.


The PnstOT introduced Mrs. Coun. Grime [ . and the harty welcome of the workers and


friends. Mrs. Grime s.aid those who occupied the


chair were seldom expected to make a long speech. On. an occasion like that, when the object was to raise funds, perhaps that was wliv the Mayoress and herself had been invited to take the positions they were then occupying. She hoped the effort the workers were making would come out better even than they anticipated, and that they w-ould rai.se more money than they had set out to raise. It was not often one had more money than they knew what to do with, but if after the sale they happened to be in that position she was sure they would find son® worthy object on which to spend the money. The object, she under­ stood, was to raise about ^70 to benefit the Church Funds. She was sure they were all pleased to see the Mayoness present and equally pleased when they heard that the M.ayorhad consented to fill the position of Mayor for another year, (hear -hear . They hoped the year w’ould prove a verj- happv one for both the Mayor and Mayor­ ess—‘(hear. hear). She then expressed her very great pleasure in calling upon the Jlayoress to declare the sale of work open —(applause). The Mayoress had a hearty reception.


She said she had so recently presided at a sale of work at St. Mary s School that she scarcely exix;cted to be present at another so soon. However, it afforded her great pleasure to be present. She hoped the object of the sale would meet with the approval of all present, and that it would be a success, as it was not at all a good


tiling to be in debt. On previous occa­ sions tlie ladies connected with Moor Lane had held sewing meetings and worked in various ways to Ijenefit the women’s branch of the Missionary Society and also the Good Samaritan Society, but they had decided that the proceeds of the sale that evening


.should go towards defraying the expenses incurred in the working of the Church dur­ ing the past year, and she hoped their de­ sire might be fully realised. She then expressed her pleasure in declaring the sale


open— (applause). Alderman Cowgill proposed a vote of


thanks to the Mayoress. It was not necessary for him to attempt to make a speech or to sjieak in eulogistic terms in ■ mything in which the name of tVliipp was concerned at Moor Lane— (hear, hear). A good many of those present had been brought up at the school in company with the Mayor, and Tie was sure all who wor- shipjied at the Church would feel thankful that they had had in connection with them for so many years such a noble family as the Whipp family— (hear, hear). His duty was to move a vote of thanks to- the Mayor­ ess. but he scarcely knew what to say. Since listening to the- address she had been good enough to submit to them he had been wondering whether she had ever ex- lierienced the happy ■ experience of being in debt—(laughter)— but as she had probably been connecteil with a Metlmdist place of worship all her life the probability was that she had learned it there. (Laughter). Some of them learned in another school. (Laughter). It was not wise to bo in debt, neither in an ordinary case, nor in the case of a place of worship, although some ]ieo- ple would argue that a place of worship was never so healthy as when the people


Mr. N. Aspden moved that a similar com­


pliment be paid to Mrs. Grime for presid­ ing. Mrs. Grime was an active woman, and a.model any of the ladies might copy with advantage. He was one of those who did nut deaire to keep the ladies back at all. he would rather assist them fonvard, for he was quite sure that everything they took in hand was bound to succeed, (hear hear). Mrs. Grime was a busy woman, she had a public standing in relation to her own church, and it was very good of her to come forward to assist them. She was always ready to do anything she could for the church to which she was associated, and she was also always ready to come forward to assist other churches. They were very- much obliged to her, and he moved they give her their best thanks. (Applause). Coun. J. Scott seconded. In doing so


he said there was one thing they -needed to be aware of, and that was if they encour­ aged the ladles too much perhaps they would be infringing on their rights. (Laughter). ■ .Mrs. Grime returned thanks. That was the first time she had been amongst the people of Moor Lane, but she would not be so backward perhaps anodier time. (Applause). The Mayor in a few words wished the


project every success. He said he did not see from the quantity of goods on the


At intervals during the proceedings a mis­


cellaneous programme of vocal and instni- niental selections was given. Miss Alice Porter (Meariey) gave a very creditable ren­ dering of a couple of solos, “ The scent of the lilies)'’ and “ Dream of home,” a remark that has equal applicability to Miss Latham in her solo, “ Angus Macdonald.” Mr. H. Taylor contributed, with his well-known ability, the item, " Hear the wild _ winds blow, ” and humorous songs were given by Mr. A. Jackson, “ Up went the price,” and “ Sarah Walker."’ and Mr. G. Cowgill, " I would.” The Miss and Miss B. Knowles a couple of instrumentalists from Darwen, played a couple of cello and violin duetts, " Serenade and “ Norma'' with very good taste, and Miss B. Knowles also contributed the violin solo “ Berceuse.” Miss Squires gave a couple of recitations very acceptably, “ Shakey s Piece ’ and ' Men.” The duties of accompaiii.st were ably discharged by Miss Wade, Miss Porter and Mr. J. W. Hayhurst, Mi.ss Porter contributing as a piano solo a coujile of-dances by German. The musical selections proved a most pleasing part of .the proceedings. The proceeds amounted to over ;£6o

a fair attendance. The Chairman in the course of an apt


introductory speech commended the value of hobbies and referred to Mr. Taylors success in the most interesting hobby he


had chosen, lliat of photography. _ Mr. Taylor illustrated his lecture, which


was given in thoroughly entertaining st) e, bv over 130 slides specially prepared from his own photographs. Here a word ought to be added as to the excellence of the re­ sults obtained. The slides are amongst some of the finest ever. exhibited m the town, and pay great tribute to Mr. T aylor s ability as a photographer. The animal .studies are especially good, e'’er,y picture being stamped by nature and by me. Mr. aylor commended the exercise of the fao

MTTSTCAD SERYTCES AT CONGREG A TIONAL CRHR C R . The enlargement and re-openiiig of the


choir gallery .at the Congregational Church was celelir.alcd by special services on Sun­ day. The gallery as previously existing was found to be too small for convenient use, and a scheme of extension has been carried out at a cost of about £70. 'The gallery, supported by pillars, has been ex­


tended a short distance into the body of the chapel, and arranged in crescent form so as to take up the least possible space from the communion below. It will now prove much more commodious for the members of the


choir. The Rev. D. Evans, of Preston, was the


preacher, ,at the morning and evening ser­ vices, at both of. which there were large congregations. At the first named service the choir gave the anthem, ‘‘ Lord for Thy tender mercies sake” (Farrant), and Miss Latham contributed a very tasteful render­ ing of the solo, “ Peace and Rest ” (Batten). In the afternoon a special mnsical ser­


vice was given by an augmented choir a.id orchestra, the items iiichidiiig the principal selections from the ” Aiessiali.' Ihe prin­ cipal vocalists were Miss Flaiisoii (Brace- well), Miss 1-atham, Mr. G. S. Calverley and Mr. A. Dyson (W-.iddiiigton). Miss Lily Eltoft (Blackburn) had intended to take part, but was prevented at the_ last moment bv illness. Miss Latham very kiiully and ablv stepping into the breach. Ih e nuisicarportion of the service opened nilli the “ Messiah'’ overture by the o.-:hestr.a, followed bv the reci-t and air, “ Comfort te, ’ and “ Everv Valley,' by Mr. G. S. Calver- lev, to which he accorded very able treat­ ment. He sang with capital enunciation, and did especially well in the air. Then followed the choir with the chorus, “ And the glory of the Lord,” most creditably rendered. Air. A. Dyson had as his 1.01- tion the recit and air, ‘‘ For behold dark­ ness shall c6ver the earth,'’ and “ The peo­ ple that walked in darkness,'' and the well- known solo, “Why do the nations.’ Mr.

glad to hold tli.at function once again and he thought the\- might say it was just as inleresting this year as ever. The services of Mrs. Tom Garnett had been obtained for the presenting of the prizes. It was very kind indeed of her to come and by her jireseiice she would do much -to help for­ ward the ambulance cause in the town of Clitheroe.


ft was by the interest taken


in the movement by people like Mrs. Gar­ nett that they were able to prosper and go ahead as they had done in the past and hoped to do in the future. He thought they might congratulate themselves on having had a very successful year. Both classes had been well attended, the ladies’ perhaps the better of the two. However, the men hoped to rival the ladies in the year to come. There were several new memiiers amongst the men and it was hoped that sufficient enthusiasm would be evoked that they would, he could hardly say beat the ladies because he thought their work unsurp.assable, but perhaps equal them. He had thought of mentioning that evening a matter which would be of much interest to the people of Clitheroe in general, and that was that we ought to have some form of hospital accommodation in the town, such as could be provided by a cottage hos­ pital. The imibulance provided the means of conveying the people to the hos- pital but they had no place to go to; with the result that patients in a more or less serious condition had to be taken to Black­ burn and the time occupied in so doing was very frequently most serious. He thought if some effort could be made by the people of Clitheroe towards attaining the object he had mentioned it would be a great hoiin. They could only begin with a cottage hos]iital but even that would be an enormous .advantage to people in the town and district, ft was no doubt a diffi­ cult que.slinii to deal with, difficult in the fact that the government of even a small institution like a cottage hospit.al required great care and attention and time could h eqiiently hardly be spared by busy people. However, he had 110 doubt that amo.iigst J 2,000 they would find suffi(‘ient to form 1 -civerniiig body. It seemed to him some­ thing ill the nature of a scandal that they had no means of dealing with serious cases. Another difficulty might be suggested as re­ gards medical attention but he ventured to think that they would find the medical men of Clitheroe— certainly at any .rate one or two to whom he had spoken— would willingi- Iv give the time necessary for looking after the few patients admitted into the instite- tion. He hoped they would not think him presumptuous in bringing this ni.atter for­ ward, considering that he was a. coiiipar.t- tivelv new resident. He then called upon Mis. Garnett to distribute prizes to (he following ladies:— F'irst ;iid and Nursing certificates: Misses


GISBURNE. PRESENTATION.


On Saturday evening the students of last


year's Needlework class (Technical), met at the Old Vicarage, Gisburne, the occasion being a present,ation to Miss Dalby, of Settle, the instructress to the above classes. Mrs. R. Wright entertained the students to tea. which was prepared by Mrs. Ellis. Preceding the tea the presentation was made. Afterwards a social was held. Mrs. Wright (on behalf of the Hon. I.ady Rib- blesdale. The Hon. Mrs. Wilson, the other Committee ladies and the students) made the presentation, which was in the shape of silver afternoon tea spoons and sugar tongs in case. Mrs. Wright expressed the kind feelings of all the students present, and after a few remarks Miss Dalby ably responded in a short speech, expressing herself most delighted with the handsome gift. The social was a success. Miss Waine greatly assisted in the evenings en­ tertainment by officiating as pianist. The following contriliuted to the programme: Mr. J. P.arker, Mrs. R. Wright, Miss B. Wright, Miss E. Ellis, Mr. H. Ellis and Miss Travers. Miss B. Wright was heartily encored for her smart exhibition of skirt dancing. A most enjoyable evening was spent, the guests dispersing at eleven o’clock.

She had alw;iys taken a deep inter­ est in ambulance and nursing work and during the past vear she had had experi­ ence of her own 'which convinced her that though the hour of trouble for ones friends might give one untiring energy on their behalf yet .the skiH must also he there if real good was to be done. She hoped the ladies po.sshssing the necessary know- Icd'te would ni.ak-e the very fullest use 01 it. ° On the matter of the hospital many vear.s ago when she first came to Clitheioe 'she brought the .subject fonvard. It seemed an awful thing that people seiaonslv liui-t in accidents should be jostled to Black- Imrn, which must needs makp them worse. She mentioned it to othf;rs but was told that the difficulty would he -to get medical at­ tendance, there being not so many doctors ill the town then as now. The questton had also been mentioned during the past few weeks and she could only say drat if.tlie pro­ ject showed signs of development Mr. Gar­ nett and herself would only be too pleased to help it forward.— (Applause).

FROUDE'S “ LIFE OF CARLYLE.” Critical opinion is now unanimous in


holding that Fronde’s biography of Carlyie is one of the very best in the EnglLh language. '('here may be some argumeit or controversy on the prudence of introduc­


ing the public to an intimate view of the private lUe of a great man. The vulgarian instinctively fastens on any little defect, just as a captious critic will fasten on a mis­ placed comma M'hen he has not intelligence enough to folloiv the argument • t bis author. But those who read for com'orr, and instruction, and consolation, know very well that if any man— even the best of nui — be portrayed M'ith no cloak draM’ii over his failings, but exactly and truly as he is, his defects will be as apparent as those of Carlyle.

CHILDREN’S COMPETITION


FOR


CHRISTMAS PRIZES. This week we repeat the announc­


ing of a competition solely for the benefit'of our young readers. The t.ask we set is comparatively easy, and the prizes accept­ able for the Christmas season. 'I’ lie competition is open to all hoys and


girls, 15 years of age and under. The task we set the boys is that of draiving some local institution or object of interest, or bird or animal, on a piece of paper not less than 8 by 8 inches. The drawing may be done in pencil, but if so must be copied in ink. We ask the girls to write a short essay


on “ Boys ’ or “ Christmas.” The copies must be forwarded, accom­


panied by the signed coupon appended, to the “ Times ” Office, Clitheroe, marked Children’s Competition, not later than Mon- d.ty, December rSth. No mark must be put on the copies. The papers will then be forwarded to the local adjudicator alreadv chosen— and whose name will sub­ sequently be announced— and a prize of the value of ss. (money or goods), awarded to the best effort in each class, the winner to be announced on Friday, December 22nd. Boys and Girls in the country districts are, of course, eligible to compete.
