Harvest Fest. Services

The Whitehaven News - September 7, 1905

HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICES AT THE MILLOM WESLEYAN CHURCH.        The Wesleyan Church was neatly decorated for the harvest thanksgiving services, which were held on Sunday last.        There was a time when the decorations were not deemed satisfactory unless a sample of nearly every vegetable, &c., growing in the district was brought into  service. The present decorators were not imbued with any such idea, and their choice is to be recommended. They were content with choice flowers and corn,  and with these the building was very artistically adorned. The appearance presented by the interior of the church reflected much credit on the decorators.        The sermons at both morning and evening services were preached by the Rev. F. HILTON, there being very good congregations. Mr. OGLETHORPE presided over a musical service in the afternoon, when selections were given by the choir, solos by Mrs. TYSON and Mr. STEPHENSON, duet by Mrs. TYSON and Mrs. GENDLE, and organ recital by Mr. Roland JOHNSTON.        An address on "The message of the flowers" was given by Mr. BLOOMFIELD. ******
