Wednesday June 17th 1903 Rowrah Wesleyan Chapel, Cumberland.
Rowrah Wesleyan Chapel
The members of this church celebrated their anniversary on Friday and Sunday. On Friday evening there was only a moderate audience when a public meeting took place in the Chapel. It was presided over by Mr. TAGGERT,
Whitehaven. Able addresses were given by the Rev. F. HILTON, the superintendent minister, and Mr. MOSS, Whitehaven. After the meeting a public supper was provided in the Sunday Schoolroom. The tables were attended to by, Mrs. Wm. WATSON, Mrs. MacKAY, Mrs. WIGHAM, Mrs. E. WATSON, Mrs. BRANTHWAITE, the Misses. MOSSOP and WIGHAM, etc.
The services were continued on Sunday when Mr. J. COOK, an old and esteemed Wesleyan local preacher from Eskdale, preached two sermons. There was only a poor attendance ( for a special event ) in the morning. The service
opened with the hymn, "Great God this Sacred Day of Thine." The text taken was from
the 84th Psalm, 11th verse. In the course of a well directed discourse Mr. COOK pointed out that the sun was used as a emblem of God, and was sometimes used as an emblem of righteousness. Idolatry, however was originated by the Isrealites by sun worship. Undoubtedly the sun was one of God's richest
blessings. The sun enlightens, warms and fructifies the face of the earth though mill
ions of miles away. The Lord gave light, comfort and fruitfulness to those in
whom He shines with the beams of His saving grace. The sun may indeed become shadowed or eclipsed, but it remains unchanged, and so has the Christian to be.
There are dark days, dark seasons, dark clouds. But just as the sun breaks forth, as if with increasing splendour, so does the Christian. Then the sun gives beauty. So the Law of Grace in a man's heart beautifies his actions and finally ripens him into glory for the World above. The preacher strongly
advised a perfect trust in God against all assailants, however formidable, and by
doing so under the Law of Grace. God would withold nothing truly good from any who
walked before Him in truth. In the evening, Mr. COOK preached from St. Luke,
23rd chapter and the 33rd verse. There was a good congregation. The choir rendered special musical pieces.

Harvest Thanksgivings (Lamplugh)
St Michael's Church, Lamplugh, Cumberland
On Sunday large congregation assembled both morning and evening, and doubtless duly appreciated the services, which were marked by an excellent rendering of church music of the best type and also by eminently practical and
forcible sermons from the Rector Rev S. G. CRAIG. The duty of thankfulness was the
subject of the evenings sermon, in which the preacher pointed out the importance of good singing in the sanctuary, and the gratitude which was due from the congregation to the choir. The fine anthem by Sir John GOSS entitled 'The Glory of the Lord' was sung both morning and evening, the quartette being
artistically given by Miss E SEWELL (soprano), Miss M. A. WOOD (contralto), Mr C. HALES (tenor) and Rev S. G. CRAIG (bass). Staines beautiful settings (in E flat) of magnificat and Nunc Dimittis were also sung at the evening service, the quartettes being sustained by the four singers above mentioned. The work of the choir was much admired, the verse parts and the fine body of treble in the choruses being especially pleasing. The work of church decoration was
