MOUNT ZION ANNIVERSARY, i RECORD COLLECTIONS. Highly successful services were held on


Smday at the Primitive Methodist Mount Zion Sunday School -Anniversary. They were favoured on the occasion by a visit from the Rev. G. Bicheno, of Shipley, and


formerly pastor of the Church, who delivered able_ sermons at the morning and evening services. At the morning service the choir gave the anthem “ O Send out Thy Light,” (Simper) and Miss Emilie Barlow gave a very good account of herself in the solo “ The child of Nazareth ” (Gray). She was lieard lo great ;id\’;uitage at the evening service in the solo “ The vesper hymn ” (.Adams). At the latter service the choir ably rendered the anthem “ Daughter of Zion” (Clark.)


In the afternoon a children’s service was


held and a series of special hymns were ex­ cellently sung by the children. The Rev. H. Chamberlain delivered a suitable ad­ dress. Mr. G. Booth led the singing throughout the day very efficiently. Mr. D. M. Roberts was the organist at tlie afternoon service and Mr. Tootill at the morning and evening services. At the morning sendee the re\-. gentle­


man took his text from the Book of Denter- onomy. Chap, i , 6 and 7 verses. “ The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb say­ ing, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount; Turn you and go to the mount of Amorites,” 'etc. Each event, each turn of the year, spring time, or har\-est time, or anniversary’s, were but ;i new beginning. There were still pilgrim journeys to be un­ dertaken, battles still to be fought and schooling and discipline to be undergone. One of the most striking things they learnt after childhood was, that getting :i situa­ tion was but the beginning.


.As young


people they thought that to secure such mid such a post meant a sure position, relief from effort, and that schooling and disci­ pline were all ended. If any minister had an idea that he had succeeded in Lanca­ shire and thought he could rest on his- laurels let him go to the West Riding for his next station. They would take nothing on trust, and would accept nothing hut the facts they saw before their verv eyes. Life was a good deal like that, every hour, and every day Ihey had to prove themselves unto God and unto man that they were always in the fighting line, and true soldiers of Jesus Christ. Jesus seized upon them for the ful­ filment of a high purpose, ;ind thev mu-st gird themselves to follow after, dav by dav, and hour by hour. They pressed on from childhood into youthhood and to manliood, but there was no relief from the pressure of burden bearing and .schooling, :ind old age w.os a preparing for the new life and a gird­ ing on of the armour. Some went far, :uid some fell by the wav. As to life generally it was all a service for Jesus Chri.st. either in the Sunday school, in the Church, or in any sphere of life that had for its glory the uplifting of their fellows. in the advance of themselves in any respect they ought to recognise that Christ’s Kingdom was alto­ gether larger that the Church and as such in whatsoei er way they were called to serve, there must be advancing .and pressing on continually. AVoe to these who indulged-in easiness,


set


of all ills in this life, and of all dire calami­ ties that could come to a nation or indi- \fidual th:it was the worst conceivable. They must be going on, that was a summons for them to turn and march afresh. They had to build institutions and make laws, they were not doing that for the pre.sent only, but for the future, for those who would come after. They must be ever marching forward, and e\cry advance in life proi'ed the principle that every step forward made retreat more difficult. As they went for- j ward they were more ;ind more open to ;it- | tack and therefore needed more jiowit. This was clearly illustrated in military life. The general goes fortli with his army :iud begins in his native land, and then :idv;mces j dav by day until he gets into tlie enemies territory, when lie needs more strengtli, :is all his line is then open to attack. It was e.xactly the same in life, the more they al- templed :ind the more power tliey required. Thev were contimially needing new |iuwer and strength to be flowing into their life to replenish their soul from the Divine fnim-


•tain. Now power, ;ind added strength must be given them or they could not caji- ture new lands for God.


The question of dealing witli children was


the concern of their life as well as of the Church of Jesus Christ. This new l ’;u- liament in its lusty youth spent.its whole time in the attempt to deal rightly with the children. Little came of the efl'ort, but the Parliament gave its time to die considering of the children. The Church had the burden of the child upon its he:irl,. and w;is responsible for it. Home religion was now :ita great discount, and the general religiousness that it suggested had been present with them, was lamentably hicking at the present time. 'iTie Church had hail to undertake very largely the training of the children in the Sunday School which were still England’s glory. When the Church began to do that her resources need­ ed to be increased. He did not mean sim­ ply in the collections, but the supiritual re­ sources needed to be -replenished and in­ creased. It was e.xteiiding its sphere of operations, and was in so much larger de­ mand. In undertaking the great forward movement of training the children, greatly- added resources were needed, new streams of spiritual jiower were required. In tlie great* home missionary' movement w Inch their forefathers undertook they fed their souls with.prayer from the throne of grace. Thev.went uji and down the country, ,and thousands upon thousands who had been brutish and. drunken, and sinners^of the deepest dye, were swept into the Kingdom


;


of the Lord by -the power of. their evangal- ism. They were concerned at the present and the Church was concerned in the great question of how far and in how much, the Church as a Church should touch public life. It was a moot question and there were many different opinions as to how far the Church should go. They needed more grace tn enter a position in public life of a city or empire than they needed for a class meeting or preaching. The half and half Christian who could not give testimony at the class meeting was not up to the stand­ ard for public life, or to be a representative of the Church. The best men were at the very front of the battle and had the most temptations and were subject to the most criticisms. There was an added strain upon -them and they ought to be men of God. Let them be healthy and strong and true representatives for Christ and they would have the towns worked rightly, and if the towns were worked rightly so would the nation be. They would toe winning souls for the Kingdom toy the spiritual en­ terprise of the Church and -Sunday school. They must remember that the life of truth was an effective -way of establishing the Kingdom of truth. That was so perfectly clear in the Sunday School classes gre:it strides were being taken in the reform of teaching the lessons, which would be for the help and advance of the work, hut after all the greater question was the life of the teacher. When they took their journey they must be ready to receive new truths, as all actions were movements which went forward. If they gave tliemselves to God all blessings would come. The sen-ices were all well attended,


especially in the evening the church being crowded. As in other respects the services were


also a great financial success. The collec­ tions for the day .constituted a record for the Church, totalling ^7 1 , of which A '4 I os. old. was taken at the morning and evening services and

BILLINGTON. OAtERLOOKERS’ OUTING.— The


overlookers employed at Green Bros.’ Abbey Mill, Billingtoii, had their annua) outing on Saturday. Groome’s motor bus had been chartered for the occ;ision and at 12-30 the party, numbering 23, started for Harro­ gate. The journey was made via, Skiptoii and Ilkley, Faunal being re.ach'cd at 5 o’clock, where an excellent dinner was served at the Spaeey Houses Inn.


.After


dinner the party proceeded to Flarrogate to sfiend a couple of hours in viewing tlie places of interest. Some of the older mem­ bers of the p:irty seeking for the Sulphur AVells and hearing so much of their medi­ cinal properties, brought four botticful back to Whalley, hoping that it will re.storc them to their youth again. Leaving Har­ rogate at 9 o’clock the return journey was by Bolton AA'oods to Skipton, where a sup­ per was ready at the Ship Hotel. .After supjier a vote of thanks was passed to the employers and Mr. W.J. AATiittaker, AVhal- ley Arms, for their generosity and also to the manager, Mr. Chris. Manley, who had charge of the party, for the ;ible manner in which he had made the arrangements. Home was reached in the small hours of the morning, everybody agreeing the outing had been a great success.

TiiilEB. FRIDAY. JULY 12 1907 BOWLAm DISTRICT


EDUCATION COMMITTEE.


PAYTHORNE SCHOOL QUESTION. INSURANCE .OF TEACHERS.


Education Sub-Committee was held at the Town Hall on Monday afternoon.


The monthly meeting of the Rowland 'Fhe


Rev. Canon Wilson presided. There Were also present Messrs. R. 1. Robinson, W. Garnett, junr., J. Robinson, F. I’armeter, and the Rev. J. C. Garnett.


THE NEAV SCHOOL AT F.-VYTHORNE. The proposed new school at i’aythorne


again came up for consideration. The Chairman (Canon Wilson) said he


thought they should inquire from the county- authorities why the plans were not sub­ mitted to that sub-committee according to Rule 25. The school was to provide ac­ commodation for 2fi children, and it seemed to him most exorbitant that the actual contracts for the school were more than ,;£i,ooo. The Clerk (Mr. C. A. Milford) said he


had written to the County authorities and asked for the plans and specifications to be submitted to the sub-committee and he had to report that the tenders had been let and a total of AI)°23 4s. id.


Instructions


had been given for the work to be carried ' out, and finished drawings were forwarded j to the committee with the request that they would supervise the work in progress and' report any defects. Mr. Clifford also read a further reply stating that it had been j customary to submit tthe plans :ind specifi- ; cations for the consideration of the district | sub-committees when requested by them to 1 do so.


; Mr. F. Farnieter thought they were being j


treated discourteously. Mr. R. I. Robinson said the school w;is ;


to have cost ^£1,200 but it had been re- , duced to ;£i,ooo. The Clerk said there was accommoda- ;


tion in the school for 64 children. d'he Clwirman: It is absurd. Provision


is only needed for 2fi children. The Clerk said the County Council


would not build a .school for 26 children. This was the sm:illest school they would .sanction. The Rev. J. C. Garnett: Is il a written


law that they will not build ;i school for this number? The Clerk: .N'o, No. There is no regu­


lation to that effect, but I think they build ; all the small schools to one plan. Mr. R. 1. Robinson said the work of


building the school was in progress. In reply to a question, the Clerk said he ,


thought half the cost of the school would be paid from the general county rate and half by the local authority. The Chairman proposed a resolution in­


structing the Clerk to write asking the West Riding authority why the plans and specifications of the proposed school were not submitted to the sub-committee in ;ic- cordance with Rule 25; also protesting against accommodation being provided for fi4 children at the school, and saying that in the opinion of the Committee the whole scheme shoiihl be referred back. Mr. F. Parmeter seconded, :iiul the resolution was carried unanimously.


EVENING SCHOOL AT WADDINGTON.


On this matter the Clerk (Mr. C. A.


Milford) reported that the ninn;igers of the Waddington and West Bradford school h:nl expressed their willingness to act as mana­ gers of the evening school at AVaddington if one' was started.


ADDITIONAL TEACHER. The Managers of Bolton-by-Bowhind


school urged the Committee to recommend tlie appointment of an additioiwl assist;int teacher. It was stated that the average ;U-tendance at this school was lofi, and the Inspector in his report had stateil that the staff was not adequate. The Committee agreed to recimimenil


the County authority to apix)int :i le;icher as requested.


COST OF SCHOOLS, The Clerk was instructed to write the


County Committee' :isking them to lurnish the managers of each school in the Com­ mittee’s area with particulars of the cost


of each school. INSPECTOR’S REPORT.


The Inspector’s report on the Thorney-


holme R.C. school was in the following terms. “ The tone and discipline of this country school are good. The children are regular hi their attendance, and the ' work proceeds quietly. The work on the whole is promising. Mental ;vrithmetic ■ might be improved, and the training of the ■ viiimgest children might receive freer treat: I ment. As much diffidence is shown with \ strangers, oral composition shoukl be more : freelv useil to encourage facility' of ex])res- sion. Writing and written com])asition of the upper division is creditable.”


INSURANCE OF TEACHERS. On the subject of the insumnee of sch(X)I


teachers Mr. R. X. Robinson asked wh;it was being done in tlie Committee’s area. The Clerk said that circulars had been


sent round and as far as he understood the matter the County Council :icceptcd liabili­ ty for teachers in non-provided schools dur­ ing tire time they were working for them, but for work for tlie managers the County did not admit liability. He understood th.at the County Council w.os not going to insure their teachers. The Ch:iirnian said he had made appli­


cation for the insurance of all the teachers in their school, and Mr. Parmeter said he had insured the school mistress at their school.'


COUNTY COURT. Thursd:iy.-— Before His Hommr Judge


Hans Hamilton. A COW CASE.


J.lines Birtle, farmer, Laiieside, West Bradford, sued Edward Tomlinson, tanner,


AVhalley Nab, for for breach of contract in connection with


the sale of a calving cow. Mr. Hartley Baldwin (Messrs. BaUhvni,


AVeeks and Baldwin) .ippeared for jilaintifi. ’J'he facts as suited by Mr. Baldwin were


that on September 17th, 1906, plaintiff imrehased a cow from defendant at the Clitheroe Auction -Mart, which was due to calve in November. 1 he cow, however, did not calve until January r9tli of this year and the claim was for keep at^ the rate of 10s. per week in tlie excess time. ihe conditions of sale at the Clitheroe .Auction Mart included the following: “ Should any in-calf beast go for more than 21 _d;iys after the time given the .seller shall be liable to p;iy for keep :it tlie nite of 5s. per week from April 15th to November 15th, ;uid at the rate of los. jier week from November 16th to April 14th, such keep to be reckoned from the time given until the ;ictual d:ite of calving.” Plaintiff was called and stated tlut he s;iw defendant several times but he refused


to pay. Defendant said he gave neither month


nor date as to when the cow would' calve. He only bought it for a calving cow, no dale given, about a week previously, and he distinctly stated in the ring at tJie auction m:trt that no warranty was given with it. Edward Chester, junr., assistant secre­


tary to the Auction Mart Co., spoke ta mak­ ing out the sale note from the particulars handed to him by the auctioneer, supplied to the latter by the vendor, the time gii en being November. His Honour said if the rttlcs of an aiic


tion mart, wltich was a I’cry tiseftil institu tion for the farmers, were not tipheld it would be impossible to transact any busi­ ness. He gave a verdict for plaintiff for • the amount claimed, with costs.

A W l lA L L E Y CIUGKETEIL J. FI. RAMSBOTTOM.


Mr. J. Hargreaves R;imshouom has


figured largely in cricket at Whalley in re­ cent years, and may be put down ;is one of the most jirominent of the younger phiy- ers who are showing such excellent service for the club. He is in his 27th year and has been playing cricket “ ever since he can remember,” and for many years now giving :i very good account of himself. It was ;it Clitheroe Grammar School, though, dur­ ing the period of 1889— 1894, that he learnt the rudiments of the game from Mr. H. P. Garvey, one of the masters, and Luther Robinson, who was the pro. at tluit time. From 1894-7 Hargreaves was at Rossall School, ;ind secured a permanent place in the House (Mr. White’s) XL, and did fairly well in both departments, in his last season having an average ot 24 for 20 completed innings, and securing about 40 wickets. During 1898 “ J.H.” played with Whal­


ley II., and the following season was draft­ ed into the first XI.


In the first match


he distinguished himself. The game was against Barrow at Barrow, the venture proving an excellent 35 not out in a total of fi4. Since then he has been a regular member of the Whalley team, and, though this is his ninth season, he has only missed one League match, ;ind on that occasion he was away playing with the Old Rossal- ians. Fils highest score w;is 13(5 not out, made against Burnley St. Andrews at Whal­ ley in 1901, which is a record for the Whalley club if not for the League ;is well. He also topped the century, playing against Settle at Whalley, in 1905, when his con­ tribution was 1 13 not out. These, so far as can be ascertained, :ire the only cen­ turies made on the 'Whalley ground; in tact the only other century made by a AVhalley player either at home or ;nvay was 100 not out by the late J. Usher, at Darwen. Besides playing with AVhalley, “ J.FI.”


has done a good de;U of cricket with the Old Rossalians ;ind East Lancashire, and for the last few years has played crickiA on his holidays. Last year he had six I. eague matches with East Lancashire, scoring 9, 7, 70, 2, and o, and this season in two innings made 52 and o. AA’ith the Old Rossalians during the hist five years he has played 19 innings, three times be­ ing not out, 74 not out highest score, total 39fi, average 24.75. Yhis is his fifth .season as vice-captain of the AAdialley club, for two years he has been ;i \'iee-president of the Ribblesdale League, and now he finds lime away from his jirofessional duties as a solicitor at Blackburn to take the duties of President of the Ribblesdale League. He has also been vice-chairman of the North- East Lancashire .Amateur Le;igiie since its formation.— “ Dailv Post.’'
