I THE CHURCHES. — -.0.- CHESTER DIOCESAN FUNDS. I CLERGY SUSTENT ATI ON. The annual meeting of the Chester j)toceanli Clergy Siistentation Fund, which is aiiiliuted to the Quoen Victoria Clergy Fund, was. held in a com- mittee room at the Town Hall, Chester, on Saturday afternoon. Sir Horatio Lloyd presided, ..and there were also present Mr. E. Chapman, M.P., Mr. Reginald Bushell, Mr. H. A. Heywood, Mr. E. Sneyd Kynnersley. Mr. J. H. Grafton, Mr. C. Gatehouse, Mr. C. J. Bushell, and Mr. John Gamon (hon. sec ) Letters expressing regret at inability to attend were received from the Lord Bishop (who was indisposed), Mr. Robert Yerbnrgh, M.P., Mr. Henry Tollemache, M. P., Mr. Bulkeley Allen, the Ven Archdeacon Woosnam, and Mr. R. H. Jovnson The report to subscribers for the year ending March 31nf, stated that the donations received during the year amounted to £106 2s. The total amount of invested funds is now £ •">,550 IBs. M. The annual subscriptions received during the year were £ 302 2s. (id., an increase of £ 4s and the church collections £ 3 Is. lOil, a decrease of £:! OS. 8d. A special donation of JE20 was again given for distribution by the Right Honourable Earl Egerton of Tatton The grant received from the Queen Victoria Clergy Fund (to which the Chester Fund is affiliated) was £ 100, being £ 5 Is. lOd more than the payment made in the year from Chester to that fund. The total distributable income of the Chester Fund in 1902-3 was £ 496 Gs. 5d., out of which 19 grants had been made varying in amounts from £15 to £ 50, representing a total sum of £ 4<S0. The total amount of grants to the clergy, during the five years in which the fund had been in existence, was £ 2, <>05. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that it was very satisfactory to find that £ 2, (>00 odd had been distributed during the last live years through the fund. Bearing in mind that the object was not to interfere in any way with the endowments, but simply to increase stipends by such grants as they were able to give, he thought it was a very laudable and satisfactory thing. Mr. C Gatehouse seconded. On the motion of Mr. C. J. Bushell the executive committee were re-elected. CLERGY PENSIONS. I The annual meeting of the supporters of the j Chester Diocesan Clergy Pensions Fund was held immediately afterwards in the same room. Sir I Horatio Lloyd again presided, and the attendance included most of those who were present at the I olle- going meeting, with the addition of the Ven Arch- J deacon of Chester, the Ven. Archdeacon Gore, the ltev J. Melville Hall, Mr. Gorge Bar bour, Mr. F. E. Roberts, &e. The report stated that the pensions now running are involving a total expenditure per j annum of £855. The total income of the invested funds is P,596, and the annual subscriptions in 1902 amounted to JB424 10s., shewing a decrease on the amount of the previous year of E15 18. It was considered desirable to make an alteration in the scheme of constitution, defining the objects of the funds, and in the rules for its administra- tion. That, it was believed, would make the 0 1 ). That,, It iie, sc h en-l(? an d the, rii l (,?z to corr,?- letter cf both the scheme and the rules to corre- spond more closely 'with the spirit and object of the orig,nal constitution of the fund. The three of the Executive Committee who retired by rota- tion were the Right Hon. Earl Egerton, Mr. j Ralph Brocklebank, and Mr. Bulkeley Allen, and they were eligible for re-election. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, explained the alteration alluded to in the report. According to the scheme of constitution, one of the objects was to provide retiring pensions for deserving incumbents." That was generally considered to apply to existing incuin- bents. The proposal was to widen the. door by add ng the words "or retired incumbents." and i he thought it would be patent to everyone that that should be done, because they never forgot that one of the main objects of the institution was not only to benefit the retired incumbent, but also to besefit the new incumbent and parish. They ought to make grants of pensions to clergy who had resigned under the Incumbents' Resigna- tion Act on relinquishment of any pension assigned to them under that Act, in whole or in part, for the rel ef of any benefice on which such a pension was charged. Thus they would reJieve new incumbents and parishes of a handicap. Mr. R. Bushell seconded, and said he thought the changes in the constitution were very wi se. The report was adopted and the alteration agreed to. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. C. J. Bushell, Jhe three retiring members of the Executive Committee were re-elected. "SUB-EDITING" CHURCH INSCRIPTIONS, I In considering an application at Carlisle Con- sistory Court on Tuesday, on behalf of a ladv who desired to insert a stained-glass window in Hawks- head Church in loving memory of her dear husband." Chancellor Prescott said there was a tendency to put too elaborate inscriptions on windows which were being introduced into churches. In the present case it might be assumed that the memory was lovedand that the husband was "dear," and nothing was gained by adding those words. Nor was it a great gain to posterity to learn j that the husband "died in London. MEMORIAL OF DEAN FARRAR. I With the view of raising a memorial of the late Dean Farrar in Canterbury Cathedral, a public meeting, over which the Mayor presided, was held in that town on Tuesday, when the speakers included many local gentlemen of influence. Among the letters of regret received was one from the Archbishop of Canterbury, who said he had learned so much from Dr. Farrar in a thousand ways that he would have liked to have had the opportunity of expressing his sense of the services he had rendered to the whole English race by his written and his spoken word Ii. The Dean of Westminster, in a long letter, joined issue, with those who denounced the rhetoric of Dr. Farrar and supposed that it was a convincing sign that his scholarship and learning were defective. This he declared was an unjust judgment, although many years ago he took the same view. I WESLEY AND THE CHURCH. It is singular what ill-informed views many people—not excepting some Oiurebmcn-have regarding the attitude of John Wesley to the Church of England Of course, he never left the Church, and, if it is permissible to surmise from his writings, lw would have bitterly resented the separatist attitude of the modern movement which bears his name. The Rev. G. H..Koss-Lewm, vicar of Bentieldside, has done good service in drawing attention to John Wesley's attitude as discussed in his own journal. Thus it is clear that the last two sermons of Wesley, recorded in his published Journal," were in parish churches (see entry for Sunday, October 24th, 17!H)—he died March 2, 7111)-"1 explained to a numer- ous congregation in Spitalfield Church, the whole armour of God.' St. Paul's, Slwdwell. was still more crowded in the afternoon, wJlile I enforced that important truth, One thing is needfuland I hope many. even then, resolved to choose the better part.' Mr. Ross-Lev,in also adds the following interesting independent testimony A much respected clergyman, in the diocese of Durham, who was born early in the last century, several times told me about an old woman who remembered John Wesley preaching at Newcastle. The preaching was early on a Sunday morning, and at its close Wesley said I hear the church tell ringing, and I want you to go with me to church.' Some hesitated, and "Wesley turned to them and said: If vou leave the Church of England, God will leave you The aged Wesleyan woman said she could never forget his stern expression when he spoke these words. My informant, the Rev. R. H. Williamson, was well acquainted with her." His Majesty has approved the appointment of the Venerable J. P. A. Bowers, Archdeacon of Gloucester and Vicar of Sandhurst, to be Bishop- Suffragan of Thetford, in the See of Norwich, Arch- deacon of Lvnn, and Rector of North Creek, in succession to the Right Rev. A. T. Lloyd, D.D., Bishop-Designate of Newcastle, The new suffragan, who is in his forty-ninth year, was ordained in 1878, and, after gaining clerical experience in Coggleshall, Essex, and at St. Giles's, Camberwell, has for the last twenty years been settled in the diocese of Gloucester, where he is highly esteemed.

A MEDICAL SENSATION. "INCURABLE DISEASE" PROVED CURABLE. More Deadly than Consumption more torturing than Cancer: a Living Death. LOCOMOTOR ATAXY (Paralysis in its Severest Form) cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. 4 What is said about this Disease by SIR (DR.) CONAN DOYLE: Sir Conan Doyle, in a powerful story called The Surcreon Talks," describes the mental agony of a medical man who detected in himself the first symptoms of Locomotor Ataxy He stood with his eyes shut, and he swayed like a bush in the ivin,d He had the lightning pains. There was noihira to say. Here he was, a man in the prime of life and now, without a moment's warning, he was told that INEVITABLE DEATH LAY BEFORE IfIM. a death accompanied by more refined and lingering tortures than if he was bound on a Hcd Indian stake It took five years to kill him I" In tIe cpinion of the greatest specialists on Paralysis, Nervous and Spinal Diseases. Loco- motor Ataxy is absolutely incurable by Ordinary Medicine. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have in a number of instances been found, nevertheless, to cure it. The inference is undeniable.' The Medical Profession cannot but accept the facts, vouched for by its own most distinguished and learned .specialists. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale people have done, and are dbinEf, over and over again, what no other medicine has ever be^n proved to accomplish. i WHAT LOCOMOTOR ATAXY IS. It is a living death. Creeping inch by inch nearer the vital centre of the brain, it lays its victim down in constant agony. The iirst signs are a numbness of the flesh and a tottering cf the limbs. This is a symptom which n:ay be taken as a warning. Beware of it! Next, the sufferer becomes conscious of a loss of power in tho spine he is weak and shaken. There aro peculiar changes in the eyes. One eyelid droops. The pupil (the dark central spot) of one eye is noticed to be smaller than the other. Soon the, patient becomes aware of shooting pains in the back and limbs—at first slight and transient. f He experiences difficulty in standing st eadily: his power of balancing himself erect is gone. At. some moment he becomes aware of one of tho most peculiar and characteristic signs of the disease if he closes his eyes while standing, he j totters, or may' actually fall. It is only by the aid of the eyesight that he can balance him- j salt. The pains grow severer every week, until the agony they cause is indescribable. When the victim: lifts a foot to walk, it jerks forward against his will: he can start the movement but he can't stop it. He ca.n still walk (in a good light) by the aid of a couple of strong sticks—crutches are generally useless. The "lightning pains" (as they are called) increase. Death creeps up the spine by inches, until after agonies too horrible to be described—agonies which make the per- spiration stand in beads on the brow and make (t. brave man whimper like a beaten child -the inevitable end comes; and by this time the suf- ferN is glad to die. While the regular medical profession—the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in London. Edinburgh, and Dublin the great Hospitals in London and elsewhere—pronounce this awful disease incurable, we are in a position to offer Absolute Proof that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured it. The following are the par- ticulars of the latest instance. It will be observed that full Medical Proof accompanies every detail. There can be no possible doubt that this patient, who is a most respectable man, was stricken wirh Locomotor Ataxy. Not only his own doctor, but the staff of two magnificent HOSPITALS VOUCH FOR THE FACT. The cured man's own words are now quoted. His name is Arthur Kirkland, and his address. Chapel Lane, Fokvhill, Coventry. It is about 16 months ago that I was seized. First I went to Warneford Hospital, Leamington, and then as an out-patient to the Queen's Hos- pital, Birmingham. They told me I had Locomotor Ataxy. The palsy crept by degrees tip my legs. After I came out of Warne- ford Ho-pital I could not walk as far as from here to the top of the lane (a distance of about 200 ya.rd.). The paralysis affected me so that I could not trust my limbs. They moved without my will. I could not stand for even an instant in the dark, and I had terrible pains across the bottom of my back, and darting up and down the 6p iie. I did not seem to have any strength at all when I came out of the hospital." ) ? ,'?  E?sE?!! i Questioned as to whether he had I I 'consulted a doctor, Mr. Kirkland replied: "The first Doctor I con- sulted told me that I should never work again. I am very pleased that what he said has not come true. I have passed the same gentleman in his carriage since I have got better, and he h&s turned round in surprise and looked at me." We have thus absohrte proof of the disease. For more than 12 months Mr. Ki'kbnd was powerless. At fir t he could walk with sticks. Annev d is a picture showing one which lie made for himself from a straight ■ piece of hard wood, with a, cyc!e step securely screwed to the top. This, with its lining of india-rubber, j gave him a firmer grip than a walk- ing-stick THE STORY OF THE CURE. When Mr. Kirkland heard that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People had cured what, in himself, he was warned was incurable bv ,ill Medical Science, he wisely decided to inform himself by direct enquiry as to the facts. A pamphlet which reached his hands contained a description of the case of a Naval Pensioner at Portsmouth, a Mr. John Kirby. Mr. I Kirkland wrote a lett-er to this gentleman, and received a reply amply confirming the facts. But in the meantime he had re-ad of another and severer case of Locomotor Ataxy which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had etired-a. case on all fours with his own. It was that of a Mr. Green- wood, a Railway Clerk, a man of good education, living at. Holt Terrace, Longsight, Manchester. iiAl r. Kirkland wrcte to him also. He had suffered," says Mr. Kirkland, "in a similar way to myself, and I felt that I could trust his word, He, too, confirmed what the pamphlet said. He i advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and persevere with them. I decided to do so. When I started I was powerless to work. I bought the pills at a chemist's in Coventry, and noticed an improvement after the second box. The first sign was a recovery of feeling, of which the disease had quite deprived me. Before I toe-k the I Iil œJ' 1 I p| J{!lf tic ■■ Hili I'¡f'¡'' ,11 f! _?.?tij) ????!???_ _?-???;???

I gradually became able to walk-a little farther every day. As dose after dose was taken I could feel my strength steadily returning. I got out into the fresh air, lived as well as I could affcTd, and! gradually got better and better." THE CURE COMPLETED. These simple words, full of intelligence and sincerity, represent the beginning of the cure. But Mr. Kirkland did not merely "get better." He recovered his full strength and all his powers of body, brain and spine. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had made him as well as he ever was. This startling restoration of a complete cripple did not fail to attract attention, and in order that INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE. might be furnished, a great local newspaper, the "Midland Daily Telegraph," was invited to investigate the facts and give an account of Mr. Kirkland's present condition of health. The fol- lowing are the words of the "Midland Daily Tele- graph reporter:- Mr. Kirkland seems to have rapidly re- covered from the effects of the stroke of Paralysis. His employment at present is that of an engine- driver in a factory. His age last birthday was 40. He lives at Chapel Lane, Foleshill, near Coventry. His health when interviewed was excellent, the only trace of his time of suffering being a slight limp when he walked. Thanks entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am very well now.' he aid, 'and work eleven hours a day, besides walking to my work, which I can do easi'y. Previous to my illness I was strong and healthy, in fact I never really ailed in my life. Then at the Colliery I strained myself, and from that date I began to ail; and I was ill for a year without earning a penny." 'And now?' began the reporter. 'Now my fellow workmen and those who know me about here have been surprised to see me getting about again; they didn't expect to see see me go to work again.' THE LESSON OF THE CURE. Locomotor Ataxy and Paxalysis are diseases that may attack any one of us. Broken-down nerves, a weak back, loss of balance, and every sort of numbness in the members are earlya," symptoms. Any drooping of the eyelids, like a- sore of involuntary wink, or a difference between the size, of the pupils of the two eyes, must be regarded as a serious warning. No one, man or woman, can afford to neglect- any of these danger- signals. Remember the awful disease which they threaten! Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not merely a cure, but they can prevent the cnset } of disease. They should be taken in time. When they can cure the most hopeless cases-and this we have abundantly proved-it is no wonder that minor ailments of life yield so much more readily to them than to any other medicine ever dis- covered. Nervous and spinal weakness, neuralgia, headaches and backaches, St. Vitus' Dance, are clinically allied to Locomotor Ataxy and Paralysis, but milder and more amenable to treatment. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are also noted for their good effects on Women. They are the greatest and safest General Tonic Medicine ever discovered. Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holborn Viaduct, London, will send full details on request, and will supply the pills post free at two shillings and ninepence per box if any difficulty should be experienced in obt,aining the genuine article.

FLIXT COUNTY RIFLE ASSOCIATION. I INCREASE OF DEBT. I The annual meeting was held at Chester on Monday, Colonel J. Sheriff Roberts, V.I) pre- siding. The Duke of Westminster was re-elected president, and the following were elected on the council :-Colonel Roberts, Major C. E. Dyson, Major God sal, Mr. H. Muyhew, and Mr Pickering, and Captain Leonard G. Hall (Rhyl) was rc-eleoted hon. secretary and treasurer. In the annual report it was stated that the council regretted to point out the "erious increase in the debt which now stood at £ 21.") Os. 3d. Of that sum JL170 had been expended in providing new targets and carrying out other "vork to comply with the War Office requirements in lOOland 15iU2, the balance being accounted for by loss of subscribers. The report further stated that there were only 22 county subscribers, providing &'W17s '?d. while the o (fieem of the auxiliary fort**— ( Denbighshu-e Imperil Yeomanrv, 1st Flintslure and: BucHev En?ineers. and 2nd Royal Weisli Fusiliers—between them subscribe the sum of .?32 16s. Cd. The, object of the association was the encouragement of rifle shooting in Flintshire, and the range at Toryd, which had cost about £ -300 since the formation of the association in 18S>7, was now one of the best in North Wales. Concluding, the report stated that the council felt it would be a catastrophe to wind up the association for lack of financial support, especially as sine- the late war the importance of good shooting was recognised as an Imperial necessity. The council therefore made an earnest appeal for donations towards clearing off the debt of £ 215 Os. 3d., and for further annual subscriptions of at least £ 30. which would enable them to carry on the important work of the asso- ciation. The report was adopted, and it was stated that the council's appeal had already begun to bear fruit.

I EARLY CHESHIRE METHODISM. If I I AN INTERESTING VOLUME. I The author of this volume is to be congratulated on making such an interesting and valuable ad- dition to the records of Cheshire Methodism. We learn from the preface that the present volume was commenced by the Rev. Benjamin Smith, a former minister in Chester, but to Mr. Brctherton evi- dently belongs the credit of bringing the work to its present successful issue. It will appeal chiefly to Method:sts, and we regret a little that Mr. Bretherton has apparently written it with that in view, and has employed a mode of expression which will Appeal more readily to those connected with Methodism than to the general reader. The book is a little over-weighted in places with family pedigrees, but that. perhaps, was hardly to be avoided. The author has twined his story largely round the names of the ministers who from time to time have been appointed by the Conference to the Chester Circuit. The Connexion has played a considerable part in the life of the county, especially in the agricul- tural districts. It seems first to have been intro- duced into Chesh-rc through a littla company assembling from time to time in the vestry of BUll- bury Church; also at Bstley, near Nantwich. there was a society similar to tha.t at Bunbury, with which was associated Mr. Richard Moss, who afterwards became one of Whey's preachers but those gatherings do not seem to have taken definite Methodist form until their removal to a room at Alpiaham in 1744, where Mr. R.chard Cawley gave the weight of his influence to the gatherings, and from that time onwards Metho- dism made rapid strides throughout Cheshire. Wesley appears to have early paid a visit to his followers at Alpraham. It is recorded in ""The Journals" that, in reply to an invitat.on sent him by Mr. Cawley, he ai ranged to visit that place ia 1749:—"I preached at 7 at Richard Cawley s and about, one at Little Acton. Wesley also records a visit he paid, by request, to Mr. Richard Devon- port, Calveley Hail, with whom ho discussed religious difficulties. It is from th s visit that the. definite commence- ment of Methodism at Alpraham must be dated. Wesley promising to send a preacher for the next week, whic-h ultimately led to the establishing of a regular Methodist ministry in that place. Shortly after this, the celebrated jolin NeLon preached bencath a pear tree at the Moat House Farm, which subsequently caused tho Methodist preachers i']¡o followed his example to be known as "Pear-tree Preachers." The old tree waj blown down, and Mr. J. Tollemache, M.P., had it replaced by another tree in 1856, and an inscr.ption was placed upon the tree recording the fact that Wesley had preached in the adjoining farmhouse. The early records of Methodism are full of the extraordinary activities of its laymen, especially its lay preachers, who spread and consolidated Methodism throughout the country. It is difficult in the present day to real.se the extraordinary self-sacrifice of these men, although their present- day successors in many respects worthily follow their example. Mr. Bretherton refers to a jolin Jones, who was born at Tiverton in 1788, and, as a local preacher in the Northwich Circuit, preached during his life 4.686 sermons and travelled 30,000 miles to do so. This is by no means a solitary instance of laymen who, in the early days of Methodism, frequently walked 30 and 40 miles and preached two and three times every Sunday. If it were not. for the voluntary services of these men, Methodism., of course, especially in country villages, ooffid not be carried on. The introduction of Methodum. into the city of Chester took place several years before Wesley himself visited the neighbourhood. John Bennett, his assistant, seems to have been the first repre- sentative of the Connexion to visit Chester, wtiich he records having done in a letter to. Wesley about 1746-7. Soon after the first appearance of the Evangelists, Mr. George Catton. of Huntingdon Hail, opened his house for preaching, and in 1751 a house was opened in the city .tselt for the same purpose by Mr. Richard Jones in Love lane, Shortly after, this house becoming too small for the puipose, the little society removed to a. barn in St, Martin's Ash, and. in 1752, Wesley seems to have paid his first visit to Chester and preached in this barn. This vis.t is described at some length in "The Journals," with the usual remark- able power of vividly describing the scenes through which he passed and the persons whom he met which have made that work an Engilsdi classic. it. is well worth quoting this extract from "The Journal" for June 22nd, 1852;- Monday, June 22, 1752, we walked round the walls of the city, which are something more than a mile and three-quarters in circumfer- ence. But there are many vacant spaces within the walls, many gardens, and a good deal of pasture ground. So that I believe Newcastle- upon-Tyne, within the walls, contains at least a third more houses tnan Chester. The greatest convenience here is what they call Tho Rows; that is, covered galleries, which run through tho main streetS on eacii side, from East to West-, and from North to South: by which means one may walk both clean and dry in any weather, fioin one end of the city to the other. I preached at six in the. even.ng in the. Square, to a vast multitude, rich and poor. The lar greater part, the gentry in particular, were seriously and ceeply attentive; though a few of the rabble, most of them drunk, laboured much to make a disturbance. One mignt already perceive a gieat increase of earnestness in trie generality of th? hearers. So is God able to cut short His work, to wound or heal, in whatever time it pieaseth H ni. Few towns were visited more frequently than Chester by Wesley, who, during his wosNluent life, paid more than 30 visits to this city. Accord- ing to the lat3 Mr. Matthew Harrison, Wesley s home during his later visits to Chester was with Mr. J. Walker, the silversmith, the grandfather of the late Town Clerk. frequent visits are probably accounted for by his numerous journeys to ireland rather than from any importance lie attached to this particular neighbourhood. The author emphasises the fact that, on one occasion, Mrs. Wesley accompanied her husband, which was a very rare circumstance indeed, and could only have occurred during the first year or two of their married life. Another extract from the "Journal" gives &n example of Wesley s extraordinary powers of endurance and his habit of doctoring himself Monday, 24th March, 1760. At seven in the evening t preached at Cnester; but 1 was scarcely able to open my eyes. They were much inflamed before I set out; and the inflammation was much increased, by riding forty mules, with a strong and cold wind exactly in my face. But in the evening I applied the eyewater, made with lapis caiaminans, which removed the disoider before morning. It was by no means smooth sailing for the Methodists in Chester for some time after they removed to St. Martin's Ash,, and their meeting place was once entirely destroyed by the mob. Wesley visited Chester soon after this, and preached from the ruins of the building, 's and after- wards attended service at St. Martin's Church. He records in the "journal'' the preacher's reference to the action of the mob, which he seems to have deploied, and he closed by saving:I am sorry that such outrage should be committed, par- ticularly in this parish, where 1 have been teachmg so many vears. And to how little purpose! 1 will remove as soon as 1 possibly can from, a place whore I can do so little good." Mr. Bretherton thinks this worthy cleric was probably tho Rev. John Baldwin. M.A., who was vicar of St. Mar- tin's 1739,1793- Whoever he. may be, he is a pleasant contrast to many of Wesley's clerical brethren. George Whitfield, it, seems, preached in Chester four times on October 2hh, 1?, and the. saintly John Fletcher, vicar of Madeley, was also ident-- fied with the work of Methodism in Chester. The year 1764 saw the erection of the first real Methodist. Chapel in Che-ter, This was the octagon chapel which stood somewhere about the site of the present Presbyterian Church on City- road. The chapel was biult in the octagon shape, which seems to have been a tavounte torm with tlie eaily Method,sts, for there is a Conference regulation recoided in 1770 "that all Preaching Houses be in that form if th? ground will admit. A characteristic story is told to trie effect that the leading men of the so; isty wanted to have a bell in a little cupola which was erected on the top of the roof of tlie chapel. Now the use of a bell was not lawful, except by episcopal sanction. this was sought and promised on condition that the bisiiop should preach the hist sermon in the build- ing. The Method sts, however, shrewdly sus- pected that this would mean consecration, and decided to forego- their bell. There were one or two oil-shoots from this chapel, but the main work of Methodism was done here until the build- ing of the St. jonn street Chapel in 1811. With the building of this chapel Mr. Bretherton closes his work. The Chester Cireirt has supplied Methodism with four Presidents of the Conference, besides a number of lesser-known worthies, and the ministers re-ident here included Thomas Olivers, known to Methodism as the author of the hymn, "The God of Abraham Praise." It was in Chester, too, that some, of the earliest, Sunday schools in the country were founded, and the author quotes a character- isticletter from Wesley in 1787 to tho-e respon- sible for the coin.mcncc.ment of these institutions. Their action seems to have aroused considerable iliterest in the city, for the then bishop, whose {■auction was obtained for the formation of these institutions (Dr. Biclby Porteus), seems to have endeavoured to get similar institutions organised throughout his diocese. The author deals also with the growth of the Methodist day schools in the city, but ho is surely in error in stating that no record exists of head teachers in the Girls' School from 1840 to the last appointment, as the name, of Mrs. Moss crop occurs to us at once as one of the most- successful headmistresses the school has ever had. An interesting account is also given of the opening of the chapel in Commonhall-lane and the subsequent commencement of the Methodist New Connexion cause in Chester. Many interesting details are also- given of Mrthodism in the Wirral Peninsula and just over the boundary in Denb gh shire and Flintshire. Around the early Methodist preachers, clerical and lay, numberless legendary stories have gathered, but the reader must not expect to find the puges of this volume enlivened with any such, as Mr. Bretherton has confined himself to the more solid realm of fact. That the book is printed by Messrs. Pliillipson and Goldar is sufficient to guarantee that its get-up is excellent. There are several interesting illus- trations. \YV hope- that this valuable work will stimulate the. study cf tIE beginnings of Metho- dism, also the larger religious history of Cheshire, "Early Methodism in and around Chester" (by Rev. F. F. Bretherton, B A-; Chester: Phillip- r son and Golder; 5s. nett).

NEWS OF THE WORLD. I 4 Sentence of death has been passed on five men of the 2nd Leinster Regiment, who took part in the fatal military riot at Pretoria. Mr. T. W. Russell, M.P., speaking at Manchester on Tuesday said he was convinced the Irish Land Bill contained not only the germs of a settlement but a full promise of settlement. The Chelsea Hospital for Women was to have re- ceived £ 1,200 under the will of the late Mr. William Toby. The testator signed the will in his bed-room, but the witnesses took it into another room before attaching their signatures. with the result that this worthy institution loses the benefit designed for it. The scheme for raising a fund for the maintenance of Labour Members in Parliament and the part payment of the expenses of duly accredited Labour candidates has been considered by the leading Trade Unions and Labour organisations of the country, and has been passed by the delegates attending the last annual conference of the Labour Representation Committee. Earl Temple, in a letter to the secretary, resigning the presidency of Weston (Bath) Conservative Association, says be is unable to support an Administration with which he is wholly out of sympathy. The conduct of the Boer war and the Government's general unpreparedness are points for legitimate criticism, and the stubborn deter- mination of the Government to force through Mr. Brodnck's futile army scheme would alone suffice to cause him to withdraw his support. The Borough Magistrates on Tuesday, at Shrews- bury, heard a. number of charges of bribery arising out of the recent Municipal election petition. In the case of Edward Brown, North-street it was alleged that he bribed one person with a half-crown, and aided and abetted in bribing another voter The Bench committed the accused to the Assizes on both charges. The hearing of the charges was continued on Wednesday, when five defendants were committed to the Assizes, bail being allowed. A York correspondent has the authority of Mr. John Teasdale, secretary of the York Race Committee, to whom several inquiries on the subject have been addressed, for stating that the race meetings at York in May and August will be held in the usual way in ail respects. The corres- pondent adds that the dispute over the Knavesmire is no concern of the Race Committee, being simply one between the freemen of Micklegate and the Corporation, and in order to settle this a friendly action is to be fought. A Board of Trade return, issued on Tuesday evening, shews that the number of strikes and lock- outs recorded for 1902 was 442. Workpeople affected numbered 250,667. The results of the strikes and lock-outs were as follows In favour of employers, 30.4; in favour of work people, 31.6; in a compromise, 35.7. As to the methods of settle- ment, these are classified as follows By arbitration, 16; affecting 4.481. By conciliation and mediation, 13; affecting 7,129. By mutual arrangement, 316; affecting 222,547. By other ways, 97 affecting 22,510. A pathetic incident occurred at the funeral of Mr. Winebloom, a well-known retired publican, of Scarborough. The deceased gentleman was the possessor of a dog. of which he was very fond, and which invariably accompanied him wherever he went. Upon his master's death the animal displayed unmistakable symptoms of grief, whining piteously, and leaving untouched the food which was given it. Upon the arrival of the funeral cortege the grieving canine followed the coffin bearers through the house into the street, where, with a parting whine, it fell down dead.
