120 YEARS AQO. The brlgln ,of Prlmltlv^ Method­


ism in! Clitheroe appears to have been about the year 1820!' Then in or about 1836 the Rev. Thomas Hill, of Blackburn; a man of extraordin­ ary zeal, attempted to niissioh the town arid the places Intervening it arid Blackburn, making -his jour-'


neys on foot. • ;' ■ It was through his efforts that


the sect was founded. Ultimately a small, chapel was built in Lower- gate, opposite the late Alderman A.- Roberts’ shop. Shortly afterwards the adherents found themselves'in financial straits. Poor .and few In


numbers, they were in debt to the tune of £100 when the [mortgagee threatened to toreclose. Rather than have their premises sold, they approached one Daniel McCormick to liQuldate the debt, arid he built them a roorii above their former one, charging them a rpnt of 50s. per annum for its use. | This “upper room” was the birthplace ,of many a [precious soul [jthereafter. In this room, too, wasi a Sunday School, a Bible reading, and, in addition,! writing was [taught by Henry! Cross, a spinner vfho was in- variablyireferred to as "the writing master.” ! This, of coursje, was long before! the introductlori [of compul­ sory education, when tlje three R’s were a part of the Sunday School curriculum. Arid it may be men­ tioned at this stage that genera­ tions of the Cross family have been allied with the chapel. '
