The annual circuit harvest festival is a prominent feature in Weobley Primitive Meth- odist Church life , and this year's event , which took place on Thursday of last week , was as successful and helpful as the functions of for- mer years . The gatherings opened with an afternoon service in the chapel , for which the special preacher was the Rev. W. Wilcock , of Presteign . Taking as his text . " Thou crownest the year with thy goodness , " he said that to the singer God was very real . The Psalmist was more sure about God than many people were . He instanced Herbert Spencer , who talked about the " first Cause , " but the Psalmist seemed to be more definite in rela- tion to God's personality and used the per sonal He emphasised pronoun . the word Thou " and said that the text applied to any year and to this year in particular . The preacher went on to speak of God's unres tricted goodness to us . Speaking of the crown- ing of the year , he said that only few people could produce beauty . The art of beauty must be felt before we could produce it There was a crown of completeness ; God com- pleted the year at the harvest and put on the top - stone to the building . The service over , the congregation adjourned to the Recreation Room , where a " Faith Tea " was held . Usually provisions are pur- chased for this event , but on this occasion varı- ous difficulties presented themselves . It was therefore decided to throw the responsibility on to the people and it was suggested that the various congregations should bring or what would be needed for a public tea . purchases were made officially . The event turned out to be a great success . Those pres- ent not only provided more than a sufficiency , but the quality and variety were better than is usual on these occasions . Instead of a charge being made a silver collection send No was taken up . About 80 sat down and the tea rea- lised in all £ 3 15s . The ladies who presided at the tables were : Mrs. Warcup and Mrs. Tummey ( Weobley , Mrs. Rees ( Upper Chad- nor ) and Mrs. Price ( Dunwood ) , Mrs. George ( Hyard ) and Mrs. John Davies ( Hurstley ) , THE KINGTON TIMES . North Herefordshire and the War . Pte . HARRY MORGAN , K.S.L.I. , died of wounds on September 27th . He was the son of the late Mr. William Morgan , of the White Lion , Leomin- ster . Gunner FREDERICK Pte . J. H. COOKE . Mrs. Samuel Davies ( Kinnersley ) and Miss STRANGWARD Ruth Tarbath ( Weobley Marsh ) , Mrs. R. Her- bert and Miss Herbert ( Ledgmoor ) , Mrs. Whiteman and Miss Whiteman ( Chadnor Court ) . At At 6.15 p.m. the great thanksgiving meeting was held in the Recreation Room . This build- ing had been tastefully decorated , as was also the chapel , under the management of Mrs. Tarbath and Miss Gertrude Whiteman .. the Recreation Room there was a good display in front of the platform of flowers , fruit vegetables , etc. The room was also brightened by bunting decorations kindly lent by Sir Joseph Verdin . Mr. William Russell , of Pembridge , presided over a large company , and in expressing his pleasure at being present , remarked that he harvest festivals and had been working in the had been coming for about 20 years to these circuit for 25 years . He changes , but he was glad the work was being carried on by others who had filled the vacant places . The Rev. W. Wilcock being called upon to give an address , spoke in high terms of the Primitive Methodist Church and said he pitied the man who was ashamed of his own church whatever it was . He also praised the work being done in the village and said the villages sent the cream of their churches to the towns . That was somewhat discouraging but he thought that it was worth doing . Harvest time was very suggestive . We had to depend very much upon other countries for our food and now of course we had been do- ing more for ourselves than ever before . He was proud of what we were producing in this country . Mr. Wilcock went on to speak cf our dependence upon God and the need for gratitude to God for his gifts . He thought we ought unhesitatingly to declare our witness to that truth . We ought to come out boldly on the side of God . Following a collection for the Circuit Fund , to which the total proceeds will be devoted , as his the Rev. J. Wesley Homer , of Hay , addressed the meeting , taking " Cheerfulness " subject . He said it was easy to be cheerful on a sunshiny morning , but there was credit in being cheerful on a dull day . He spoke of the fact that even now England could rightly be called merry England . " Some England had had its shade of trouble , but we could still hold on in spite of all and be cheer- ful . He thought there was great advantage to - day in manifesting cheerfulness as our men did when they came from the front and when they were wounded . Cheerfulness was a most lielpful spirit to cultivate . He referred to the fact that our fathers nationally and in church matters had been the type of Briton in nearly all ages who had maintained cheerfulness . The Rev. A. Warcup ( Circuit Minister ) was called upon to give a financial report on the collections , donations , etc. He said that the equalling effort was an undoubted success , almost anything that had gone before , cer- tainly beyond last year . He proposed a com- prehensive vote of thanks to all donors and helpers . The meeting then concluded with the sing- ing of the National Anthem . The produce was afterwards sold under the management of Mr. W. Gregg , good prices be- ing made . THEIR TERRIBLE " LIFE .

The Chairman , Captain Starey , then in a short speech referred most feelingly to the great affliction borne by brave men who had given their sight for their country , and to the great work which was being done at St. Dunstan's . Each of these unfortunate men now undergoing the course of training was taught a trade by which he might in future be enabled to make a living .
