TRIBUTES AT WESLEY CIRCUIT ' I ''meeting. ■ [} : ■'


The quarterly, meeting i of the


Clitheroe (Wesley) cult was held,' at


Methodist; Clr-. the Methodist


Church, Whalley. on Saturday last, when the- Superintendent' Minister, the Rev. IG. Cloudesley Shovel, pre­ sided oyer a fairly good attondande. The Secretary \Vas 'asked to


convey to the Rev. J. E. iand Mrs. Gray hedrty congratulations on the recent celebration of their golden wedding. ■ ;


Beforej dealing! with the! member­ . ■ ; ' i' .


ship figures, Mr. Shovel rMerred to the effedt of the War Damage Act;; I f t l . and announced that a l l the churches in the circuit had covered their contents under the provisions oftheAfct. The total membership at 571 showed a reduction com­ pared with the preceding quarter,

pared with Income of £239 Os. 7d„ thus Increasing the deficiency In the circuit accounts to £ 55,12s. 6d. A few months ago Mr. Shovel had


appealed for efforts on .behalf of Overseas; Missions tO: be spread more evenly throughout,',the year. Instead of taking place in the later months of the year, as at present,} Wesley Church] had fesponded to! the appeal, and' during the present' week special missionary services are being &ld. . It is hoped that this example will be followed'by other places to the, circuit. Many tributes were paid to the


Rev. Rblahd Holt who; is leaving the circuit at the end of August to take upj his ministry In Oldham, his native town. , Mr. Holt’s five years ministry, in this circuit have, been


productive .of much good and. It Is believed, enduring work, and It was particularly noticeable ' that the representatives of the churches which had been Mr. Holt’s special care—'malley, Waddlngtbri and Low Moor—were deeply reluctant to let’ I him go. Mrs;' Holt’s work and mfluence were also acknowh ind their many friends to lit. while wishing them well lam, greatly regret: their ■e.
