gathered to give thanks, in the “ for the Charter of the town’s


liberties and for the honourable traditions th a t have been raised upon th a t ch a r t^ ; for ' the service th a t has been given to this venerable ^orough with love and devotion, without hope or desire for reward, by generations of its citizens, both high and low, down the colonnades of time to this continuing moment.” i— ■

for his text Zecharlah 9, 12: “ Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope.” General Wingate, who trained £^d. commanded the Chlndits | in the Burma campaign, he said, was a man whose being was soaked In the Old Testament. He had its battles In hls mind


; as he planned hls famous campaign. He embellished hls o p e r a t i o n o r d e r with texts, and hls men could make'what Lhey liked of It. They i soon began to find It was working out against the Japanese.

the one that" finally turned the scale was .a piece of Blblp

BOCK-LIKE ENDURANCE I t was natural, the vicar


went ion, to turn to a thing- whlclj had endured all these centuries, and seemed |as - sound as ever. - Clitheroe •Ca s t le , beloved by evCry citizen, stood there before the Charter was granted; and Had stood:'unshaken ever slrice. The mind was steadied by ihe contemplation of Its.rockljke


: endurance. The heart was warmed by the thought of pur Innumerable fellow citizens' of other! years, and other cen­ turies who had looked upon exactly the same walls as me .saw, i-.

' “ Over 800 summers have


lighted it; over 800 long, dark winters have beaten upon it; over 800 lovfely springs have decked it in fairyland; 300 t h o u s a n d nights hav^ hidden it from view; 300 thousand morn­ ings have revealed it un­ changed an d : unchanging as the hills and fells aropnd —and this, men.”

Town Cl rk the


Mayoifess


I Customs had come and gone, fashions had changed;


voluntary service to the com­ munity had a l w a y s be en strong. Local government, founded on the charter, had risen to worthy heights, and there had never been a sus­ picion of dishonour upoh it In 800 years, though now It was being rapidly stripped of Its powers. But the spirit' re-' malned the same, and sof did the Castle, and there was- a sermon In Its stput walls.


TRUE AND PLUMB : A thing which was buUt to


scamped in the buUdlng. Stone by stone It .had to be laid true and plumb, there had to be no saving In the niortar. FlnaUy, It had always to be watched and protected


against the crumbling of time ahd weather. “Let the life of our town be


I a stronghold for the people,” I the vicar asserted; “'This must be more , like Win­ gate’s fortress in: Burma than any building of stone, for its defences are in the courage and brains and


i hearts of men and women.” !iBut the principle was the


same. There had to be a firm foundation—solid rock, faith In God, the only sure thing In this life. I t had to be, made a good place, as He saw good- ness.


. • . '


Truth and justice had to rule Its counsels. Conflicting In­ terests—the threatening arch wplch could collapse In strife and bitterness—h a d : to be. balanced with Justice and charity. Its lines had to be plumb, ponour had to per­ meate it.


I Its design had . to be sound. jThe stones had to be laid


ti^e. The people had to play each hls full and proper part, ahd there had to ! be no sdamplng, for every stone was npeded In Its place. A build­ ing In which by some clumsi­ ness all. the weight rested on a t few stones' would soon crack and crumble. So It was the duty of all,.citizens to make their contribution to the, town’s life.


'And the stones had to be


knit together w i t h goo d cement, or the weather would - sopn be, in and make the wall unsafe. .That cement cor­ responded to the loyalty and esplrlt-de-corpstof.the people, and even th a t was not enough without charity and readiness to! help each other.


MORE CHARITY WANTED “ And here I must put In a


special word,” the vicar went on.i“ Thls Is no time for find­ ing fault, but as the last of a long line of parish priests of the old parish'church, I feel In duty bound to say that more : charity Is wanted—


—much more. ' 1 ■


' ' ' “ There are feuds here


:hat have gone on for years md years. And I have come


across all too many cases vhere quite appalling men­


ial suffering h a s b ee n c a u s e d by l y i n g and


Malicious tongues. No com­ munity can hold together, let alone prosper, where this is not frowned on.


(“ The great majority;of'us deplore it already. If I' were


-to tell, you only the very last Instance that I have come' across^told me by a broken-' hearted widow of middle age —a murmer of Indignation


, and anger would be. heard here ; i^hlch would cOnylnce everyone th a t your hearts are sound enough. But we should be much more vlblous about it when we meet it. Even: the Castle will fall if the niortar is allowed to cruhible

stronghold and look to its foundations. Let us check on Its design and look to its biilldlng. Let us look to our­ selves, the stones of which: It Is built, and the cement;, of


loyalty which binds us to­ gether.


/ 1 ;“ Let us make and jkeep i t a


-lortress that is Impregnable against the assaults'of vain­ glory, hypocrisy and selfish­ ness,; of cruelty, crookedness ahd ! dishonour,” , the 'vicar concluded, “ Let us make It a refuge where those on Whom, life bears hardly may With­ draw; for the protection, of comradeship and sympathy. Let us make It a,base;from Which bur best menimay|play theh part In the life of England Itself. Let u i In short, make It home.” : I

If t h e r e was a permanent threat, as there was' in 'every unsleeping arch, there had to be a p e r m a n e n t , well- designed and thought-out buttress to counter It. After that, nothing, had to be
