STIRRING TIMES RECALLED BY WHALLEY VICAR


JJISTORIC sequel to an event just three hundred years ago will take place at Jollie Memorial Congregational


Church, Barrow, on Sunday, August, 26th. In 1662, on St. Bartholomew’s Day, 2,000 Church of Eng­


land clergymen were ejected from the Church for failure to comply with the Act of Uniformity.


Most famous locally of these


ministers was the Reverend Thomas Jollie, of Altham, who was compelled to leave the parish because of the views he held. He moved to Wymond- houses, near Pendleton, after soldiers were sent to Altham in August, 1662, to have him suspended and break up his congregation, and became well


known as a non-conformist preacher. On August 26th this year


the Rev. H. C. Snape, Vicar of Whalley, will preach at the afternoon service at the Mem­ orial Church.


MESU N G OFFERED LIVING In the current issue of “The


Deanery” Mr. Snape reveals that Jollie appeared to have been offered the living of Whalley in 1659. He says: “Perhaps, aware of things to come, he declined it.”


Mr. Snape also says: “It is


for us to take those past events as a warning and, knowing the causes of disunity then, to pursue the search for Christian unity now.”

Along these beaches the


Atlantic when in wilder mood piles up the weed in enormous quantities, high and dry on the white sands to fill the air with a questionable aroma.


Fresh weed drying out in


the sun has a pleasant stimul­ ating effect but when left to rot the odour has a distinctly obnoxious smell. The visitor cannot, however, fail to notice that all this weed so gener­ ously provided by the sea, is put to good use.


Never has this harvest of


the sea been turned to such a varied or widespread service. Years ago seaweed became a very important economic factor in the Hebridean way of life. The weed after being cut and spread to dry was burned in kilns to produce what was known as kelp. In this manner 20 tons of weed were necessary for the making of one ton of kelp.

Later in 1945 the camouflage

scientists continued their study in the exploitation of the seaweed. And we now find it has come to be used in scores of every day essen­ tials.
