The Wesleyans of Longhome administered a silent rebuke to the rest of the religious world on Sunday last. they held harvest thanksgiving services but - made no collections! Now, this begins to look like a real thanksgiving, and especially so, since the fruit and vegetables used in decorating the sacred edifice were afterwards distributed amongst the sick and poor of all denominations in the district! The example is one which we cordially recommend for adoption to all places of worship. Such a course would at any rate silence the cynics, who new hint pretty openly they would soon cease if the prospect of full collection-boxes did not keep alive the zeal of their promoters.

Cookery Lectures - the second of a course of six lectures on "cheap cookery for the home' was given last Saturday in the Longholme Wesleyan schoolroom. The lecturer, Miss Heatherington, of the Manchester domestic economy school, described the mysteries involved in the making of beefsteak puddings, madeira cake, scones, savoury mince &c. There was a good attendance.

"For The Right" - At the meeting of Sion Baptist young men's improvement class, Cloughfold, on Thursday evening, the chairman, the Rev. W.C. Davies, B.A., gave an excellent essay reviewing the new book entitled "For the Right'. There was a moderate attendance, and the essay was well appreciated.
