W E wish all o u r R e a d e r s “ A Happy New Year,” and we shall all, no doubt, join in deep gratitude to G od that our

hopes at the beginning of this N ew Y ear are so full o f brightness and assurance for perm anent peace. W e can never forget the enorm ous sacri­fice at which th is blessed result has been purchased. A ll h ave contributed their share in some w a y or other to this great even t. Through the prolonged night o f hideous w ar, of sorrow , suspense, and bereavem ent, w e are at last em erging into, we- hope, a settled time of calm and tranquility. T h e nations w hich have been allied in the struggle against barbaric slavery are now to be allied in w orkin g for an ideal w h ich , if successful, m eans an end to a l l actual conflict. A ll C hristians use the petition, “ T h y kingdom com e,” a continual prayer for peace, w hich means the restoration of G od to H is T hrone in the hearts of H is creatures, and as in nations and individuals this prevails, our prayer receives its answer.

FEBRUARY. 1919.

TH E R E is an important matter which is now occupying the mind of many people both in our towns

and villages, and that is the form in which the War Memorial for our lads fallen in battle is to take. No doubt each village will adopt a style which will meet with the wishes of the bereaved friends, at the same time considering the dignity of the memorial of brave deeds to be passed down to future generations. W hatever is done in this w ay should be a monument of beauty and usefulness, on which the names of our heroes should be clearly seen and read. W hilst the Parish Churches of our land have heen anxious to collect a correct list of their Parishioners, and to preserve their mem­ories, it seems fitting and appropriate that the Churches should seek to provide a Memorial on their own account in addition to what secular institutions m ay propose.

Christ Church, Dore, is indeed full of Memorials already, but not so full but that there is room for more. W h at is urgently wanted in our Church is an Enlargement of the Organ Chamber. O ur beautiful organ is suffering by being cramped up in too small a space ; the lack of air in the present chamber is ruining the finer parts of the instrument. T h e proposal is to carry the chamber to the end of the chancel, outside which, if accomplished,would provide an additional V estry at the Chancel end, save the organ from further trouble, and complete a useful Memorial for all time. W e shall seek for plans in order to consider ways and means to carry out such a scheme.

A very enjoyable Entertainment was held in Dore Schoolroom, on Saturday Evening, Jan. 25th, in the form of a Children’s Fancy Dress Party, andaccompanied by their parents. T h e village was well represented, and the various costumes, too numerous to indi­vidualize, were extremely tasty and pretty. T h e gathering was notable in that the fam ily of four generations were there, some great grandmothers, several grand­

mothers and grandfathers, one of whom was particularly happy amongst the 1 ambs of his flock. T h e judging of the Costumes was by votes of all present, and prizes given to the winners. T h e proceeds were given by the G . F . S. promoters to the T ea Meeting Fund towards crockery.

A Xmas Collection has been made in Dore and T otley for the Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops. It has been undertaken by Mrs. Nicholls, Mrs. Foulstone, Mrs. Marples, and others. Mrs. Salmond\(the County Secretary) in her letter of thanks says, “ I think the sight of our wounded men, happy and comfortable, working with their comrades at the five Nottingham East Midland W orkshops — for Derbyshire, N otting- hamshire, and Staffordshire men— would repa\' those who have so kindly helped.”

T im e increases since the date o f the S ign in g of the A rm istice on N ovem ber n t h , last year. T h e Peace Conference has been w orking hard in P aris to bring all the varied interests to som e point of settlem ent and to a peaceful issue, but the general outlook for that long hoped for even t can not be said to be prom ising; indeed the present sta te of the W o rld seem s to ju stify the old and m uch debated axiom , “ I f you want peace prepare for w a r.”

N o doubt som e interest has been created in the m inds o f the inhabitants o f D ore and T o tle y by th e long article in the N ew spaper setting forth “ Some A d van tages of Incorporation " into the C ity of Sheffield. T h ere can be no doubt that we are, for all intents and purposes, citizen s of Sheffield. W e pay our rates to E cclesa ll. Sheffield is the ch ief provider o f all our n ecessary w ants. A lm ost all w h o have m igrated from the c ity to this •oun try side have not relaxed their hold on city claim s. O n ly ecclesiastically are w e cut off, and by that disadvantage w e are the losers. R em otely attached to Southw ell, by reason o f distance w e cannot share the advantages con tin ually open to C hurch M em bers, and enjoyed only by nearer a s­sociation and contact w ith the M other C h urch . Perhaps a long hoped for reform is nearer than we think. A n cien t lan dm arks are consistent, no doubt, w ith ancient usage, but m odern intercourse of peoples and p laces demand all facilities for creating religious and friendly sym pathy, goodw ill, and progress w ith the c ity population b y w hom we are surrounded.

W e are proud to know o f the exploits o f some of our Dore B oys w ho have been m oved out of th is quiet V illa g e to the m ost interesting parts of the earth. O ne o f their num ber greatly interested us in the story o f his exp erience in Germ an E ast

T h en w hat can be more delightful than the e x ­periences o f another D ore boy, than to travel the B ib le L an d o f P alestin e, and at a range far greater than D a n to Beersheba, the tw o once great points of distance.

Am ong the pleasant accom plishm ents o f the past year we note with gratitude, first, a generous m usical sym pathiser w ho has put our valuable O rgan in perfect repair, referred to in our June issue for 1918 ; then a kind friend who has vo l­untarily prepared for our use an elaborate and detailed plan of the C hurchyard, m ade at a great cost of tim e and patience, and from w hich we are abie to state that the spaces available w ill meet the requirem ents of the P arish of D cre and T o tle y for m any years to come ; lastly, our beautiful P eal of B ells are regularly rung for service by a band of enthusiastic young men, led by an expert ringer, under w hose care astonishing progress has been made since the start in O ctober last year. W e greatly appreciate their united and sustained interest.

T h e V ica r appreciates sin cerely the response m ade to the C hurchw ardens’ kindly appeal to the C on gregation on E a s te r "Day.

O ur readers w ill rem em ber that our usual collec­tion w as not m ade on the last Sunday in January for the M edical Charities, but was postponed for Sun day, M ay 18th, when the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sheffield kindly prom ised to com e to D ore on that Sunday to plead for the

Sheffield H ospitals. W ill our readers take note of this visit, and induce m any frends to welcom e B ish op B urrow s to our C hurch.

T h irty-fo u r years ago w e first met in the deligh t­ful neighbourhood of D orking. T h e B ishop w as at th e P arish C h urch , and m yself at the D istrict C h urch . T h o se were h ap p y days indeed at the beginning of our m inistry.

N SUNDAY, June 18th, the Bishop of Sheffield fulfilled his kind promise to preach at Dore on behalf of the Sheffield Medical

Charities. H e received a very hearty welcome from Vicar, Churchwardens, and a crowded con­gregation. There is no doubt that from what Dr. Burrows said to us after the service in the V estry that he had enjoyed his visit. The collection, ^25 16s. for the day, was quite a record in the annals of Dore Church. The Bishop chose as his text part of verse 17, Romans viii., and pointed out that the believer’s union with Christ was o b ­tained by suffering, and showed itself when in sym pathy with those who suffered.

The different Churches in the neighbourhood are represented in Committees arranged to consider schemes to commemorate the deeds of those men from this neighbourhood who laid down their lives for us in the great W ar. At present the most favourable suggestion is that the relatives and de­pendents of these brave fellows should receive the first consideration. N o doubt some public Monu­ment will be erected in the Churchyard eventually which will contain the names of these brave men to be handed down to future generations.

Then there is a Committee formed to make arrangements for the holding of a United Thanks­giving Service on the first Sunday evening after the Signing of Peace. Further information will be given as to the progress of the arrangements made by each Committee.

A Letter has been addressed to the Church­wardens and Sidesmen of the Diocese of South- well, appointed at Easter 1919, from the Diocesan Evangelistic Council enlisting the help of their influence and prayers in tne ideal aim which the Council have set before themselves, viz., T o claim all life for Christ as King, and to bring about a complete change of the present mental outlook and spiritual aspirations regarding ihe place of E van­gelism in the Church’s life. If men and women are to be won for Christ in large numbers it cannot be the result of the Clergy alone. . . . Others must help, and use their influence to make our Church more of a spiritual power ; make the Clergy feel that they have a hearty backing in any efforts they may be able to make for the winning of fresh converts to the service of Christ.” . . . T h e Bishop of Southwell heartily endorses this appeal, j

W hit-Sunday, June 8th.— T h e Holy Com ­munion will be celebrated at 830 a.m., and at Mid-day, and also after the Evening Service.

The Sunday School Children will meet at the Church on W hit-Sunday Afternoon at 3 o'clock. T h e usual Treat will beh eld on Whit-Monday in the School Field, and Tea in the Church Schoolroom.

The Collections appointed for W hit-Sundayare for the Bishop’s Fund. Dore Church is assessed , at £ 1 7 ros., aud we hope to be able to prove our loyalty to the Diocese in a liberal response to that fund, chiefly in providing money to meet the cost of educating a large number of men, soldiers in the late war, who have offered to prepare for work as clergymen in-the Church.

G.F.S.— A small Sale of Work will be held at the Vicarage on Thursday, June 26th, and Mrs. Gibson asks for material of any kind to replenish the stalls. Contributions to the Jumble Stall will be acceptable. The Sale is on behalf of the De- lapidation Fund, the putting in order of Vicarage and other property belonging to the Living, which becomes a serious charge 011 a slender income.

N Saturday afternoon, June 28th,the glad news reached Dore that the Peace Terms had been signed by the German Delegates at Versailles. A feeling of intense relief came to us, and we wondered whether we could

?er grasp what was accomplished by those noble en during the weary and anxious time they spent the Peace Conference since the beginning of the

rmistice m November last year.T he bells of Dore Church rang out the joyful

dings of Peace through the country side. T h e .ithful eight ringers were quickly got together and id their work well in the usual style when an nportant event has to be made known, viz., by a larp clang altogether, repeated several times, and nown as shooting the bells.One of the greatest living statesmen concerned

1 the signing of the Treaty on the side of the dlies, viz., General Smuts, of South African fame, ays, amongst many other things, “ I have signed he Peace Treaty not because I consider it a satis- actory document, but because it is im peratively lecessary to close the war ; because the world leeds peace above all. T he promise of the new. ife, the victory of the great human ideals for which he peoples have shed their blood and their treasure vithout stint, the fulfilment of their aspirations owards a new international order, and a fairer and setter world, are not written in this Treaty, and ,vill not be written in treaties. A new heart must De given not only to our enemies but also to us in a contrite spirit for the woes which have overwhelmed the world, a spirit of pity, mercy, and forgiveness for the evils and wrongs which we have suffered. A new spirit of generosity and humanity can alone heal the wounds which have been inflicted on the body of Christendom.”

Dn Sunday morning', June 29, a large number of our demobilised men from the villages of Dore and Totley attended a Special Thanksgiving Ser­vice hedd-in Dore Church, and in the evening of that d^y every place of worship in the whole civil parish was closed, and a United Thanksgiving Service held in a field (kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. W . A . Frith, of Croft House Farm), to commemorate the signing of the peace terms. It is estimated that about 1000 people attended the ser­vice, which was of a very impressive and memorable character. Such a service on such an occasion, taken part in by all the Clergy and Ministers of the district, was an occasion in every way satisfactory, and long to be remembered. An object lesson like this must suggest more eloquently than any sermon *can do the enormous advantage to the churches concerned when their respective ministers and con­

gregations respond to the Psalm ist D avid ’s exclamation, ‘ Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.’

Mrs. Gibson desires to thank all her friends who helped to make her little Garden Sale so successful 00 Thursday, the 26th of June,

The National Celebration of Victory and Peace is fixed for Saturday, July 19th Com ­mittees are now busy making the arrangements necessary for the Victory Celebration at Dore and Totley.

A mutual arrangement has been made between the Vicar of Dore and the Vicar of Swinefleet, near Goole, to exchange parochial duties from the last Sunday in July to the t+rifd Sunday in August. The Rev. G . H. Newton, Vicar of Swinefleet, will reside at Dore Vicarage during that time.■ Peace Celebration Services will be held on

July 6th. H oly Communion at 8-30 a.m., and at Mid-day.

TO TLEY NOTES.The Mission W hitsuntide Festivities this

year resumed pre-war arrangements. On W hit- Sunday the children at their services sang the special hymns of the Sheffield Church Sunday School Association. On W hit-M onday scholars, teachers and friends met at 2 p.m., proceeded to Shrewsbury Terrace and sang hymns. Tea was served at 4 p.m. in the School. Scholars, teachers and friends to the number of 120 were present. After tea, in a field kindly lent by Mr. W . Unwin, sports and games were indulged in until 9 p m , when the proceedings terminated. A hearty vote of thanks and cheers were given to teachers, sub­scribers and helpers. T h e National Anthem and Doxology were sung. Collections, subscriptions, & c., came to _£6 19s. o^d., expenses, £ \ 8s. Gid., leaving a balance of £ 2 ixs. od.

It is proposed to have for the Upper School during the Summer a Picnic to Castleton. P ar­ticulars will be duly announced.

The Totiey Girl Guides and Brownies on Saturday, June 28th, had the honour and pleasure of a visit from Miss Pryor, the County Commis­sioner. The inspection, through the kindness of Miss Milner, was held at T otley Hah. 39 members, in charge of Capt. M. Birley, were on parade. The troop was entertained to tea by Miss Milner.

It was an inspiriting sight on Sunday morning, June 29, to see the demobilised Totley soldiers, to the number of about 50, under the command of Lieut. J. Marrison, assemble in the village for the purpose of marching to the Thanksgiving Service at Dore Church. The Dore Brass Band kindly headed the procession,which was much appreciated by the men. Totley people are proud of the boys who have so nobly done their bit.

the difficulty of obtaining a suitable site this m a t t e r has been considerably delayed, but thanks to the great kindness and generosity of the Vicar

HE P a rish C h u rch L y ch G a te W a r Mem o r ia l.— W e are grateful iu tuc subscribers who have already responded to the appeal

it out in July towards the above Memorial. W e icerely hope that those who have not responded 11 consider seriously to assist in pepetuating the imory of those who gave their lives for us, hand- l down to those who live in Dore V illage deeds courage and endurance ever to be remembered us who live to enjoy the fruits of their struggle our behalf. E very inhabitant of our Village

ould be proud of the spirit of these young men 'hose names will be inscribed on a brass plate ,iich will be placed under cover of the Gate), as ey went forth to battle for God and the Home- nd, and so helped to keep for the English Nation eir place and position in the world. W e can nly say of the men of Dore and Totley who went rth to die for us that “ They being dead, yet >eak.” H ow the example of these men shines rilliantly in their answer to the call of King and ountry to help in the time of need, whilst our oerties were seriously threatened, when we com ­are their patriotism, their obedience, and willing- 3ss to serve with the noise and confusion in every art our land to-day, arising from certain sections [ the community, selfishly determined to scramble Dr and grasp all that is possible from an overbur- ened and distracted government in its endeavour 3 settle down. W e look for peace but behold a trife more fatal to the national life than the awful far we have won.

T he country needs to-day a spirit of mutual trust nd confidence. Em ployers and employed must be nought together as fellow citizens, as members of a ;reat empire whose future depends upon their con- .erted action. The Prime Minister recently said, ‘ L e t us think together, act together, work ogether. I beg that we do not demobilise the ipirit of patriotism in this country.” In reply, we .he people say that we look to the Government to jovern. I f the Nation is to think together and act :ogether our leaders must first make it plain that :hey are thinking and acting together, and then give th& country a definite and courageous lead. The Nation is waiting to follow their example, when it appears, ofa-strict economy, a firm patience and forbearance,/hard work, frugality and humility. A firm faith by the people in God avuo can overrule for good his trusting people, who gave us the victory over our enemies, which we acknowledged last October but now are quickly forgetting.

Q.F.S.— The fortnightly Social Evenings held during the W inter will be arranged, and dates will be given later. T h e usual Classes, from 2 to 4 on W ednesday afternoons, will be held at the V icar­age. The 34th Anniversary of the Society will be held on October 22nd with a Social Evening and Tea.

The whole of the neighbouring district will (eel severely the loss of M rs. E b en ezer H all, Her heart was always open to help, good 'work, and none who appealed to her with an honest claim were ever denied assistance. T he enjoyment of life w:i’ vouchsafed to her to a good old age, but rest came as .it does to all. T he close of such a benevolent life may well merit the words, “ Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, they rest from their labours and their works do follow them.”

It has been suggested that a Chess Club be formed in the district, and Mr. W m . W estlake, of the Poplars, Dore, has kindly consented to take the matter in hand. All who are interested in the game should communicate with him, so that they may be invited to a preliminary meeting, which it is hoped to call at an early date.

ON Sunday, October 51b, H a rv e s t T h a n k s ­g iv in g S e rv ic e s were held at Dore. The Preacher at the Morning Service, the R e v . '

Thos. Couch, of Pitsmoor, was greatly appreciated by the very large congregation. Tastefully decor­ated by the ladies of the congregation, the Church presented a most appropriate appearance and object lesson on G od’s Gift of H arvest. W e acknowledge with many tnanlcs to all who so kindly sent to the Church gifts of corn, fruit, vegetables and flowers. It is particularly encour­aging to be thus assisted in the remembrance of the Giver of all good gifts at the time of our H ar­vest Thanksgiving.

Such Festivals, and this one in particular, is. more cheering to us in these sericus dmes of de­pression and trial through which we are called to pass, and maj'- be a lesson full of hope to us even now, that He who has not withheld his merciful provision of food for our daily wants will continue to direct and preserve that sense of obedience to . law and order amongst the people which alone will tide the Nation through its difficulties. During the strain of war at its worst, the English spirit of dogged endurance and sanguine hope of eventual victory at all costs kept the Nation calm and confident in God. There is to-day more need than ever to commit ourselves to the guidance of p o d in the world's upheaval, whilst we at the same time apply ourselves to work and sacrifice, to sympathy and service, and help create in the new world that is being formed a real, feeling of brotherhood and confidence, beating one another’s, burden, and so fulfilling the law of Christ.

The Bishop of Southw ell has proposed to visit D ore Church on Sunday morning-, April 18th,

: 1920, for tbs purpose of holding a Confirm ation. W e trust that the parents will bear this in mind, and consider who amongst the family should be presented for such privilege. Classes for prepar­ation wvlTcommence in January next year.

T he plan, drawn by Mr. Norman Doncaster, of the Dore Church W ar Memorial, a Lych G ate, has been accepted by the select committee, and we beg to say that some of the committee intend

.to. visit about to, seek for help towards such per- tnanent Memorial to the memory of our brave men who gave themselves for our sakes in the great W ar of 1914— 1918.

G .F .S .— T h e S o cia ls are still held in the Dore Schoolroom, and well patronized. They will be held on the 13th and 27th of November.

The F an cy D ress Social will be held on December n th . T h e proceeds will be divided between the L ych G ate and the' Notunghamsliire Lodge. Judges on this occasion will be Mrs. Norman Doncaster and Mrs. Joseph Cooper, who are kindly giving prizes. '

The C andidates’ Classes, so ably conducted by Miss Popplewell, is. still without a teacher. W ho will offer to help in this good work ?

TH E first anniversary of the Armistice of 1918

was duly observed on the n th day of the n t h month at 11 o’clock, in Dore Church. A large

congregation, including the D ay School children, a s s e m b le d in th an kfu l rem em brance of that deliverance from over four years of battle and carnage, the scourge of the whole world, and from which no individual escaped in some degree sorrow and loss. W e all feel that the pathway to peace is beset with difficulties. T he months since the Arm istice was signed have been as upsetting and ruinous to Europe as the previous four years of war. There are many things to regret in our own co u n try: the N ation’s stress, its financial burden, its need for merchandise, its need for production, the vicious circle ©f profiteering, and industrial strikes. T o all this chaos in this coming Christmas of 1919 we must apply the teachings of Christianity, and more than ever look to the source of that g rea t love which made possible the wonderful B irth a t Bethlehem of the Saviour and the Angel’s Message of Peace on Earth good­will towards men. The new promise of life, the victory of right over might, for which our men and allies shed their blood without stint, is where the foundations have been laid for a new order, a new world. W e must each and all rouse ourselves out of a lassitude which has followed upon years of strain, for, whether we know it or not, ail the ideas we cherish of home and religion are at stake. L iberty, freedom, and charity towards each other, ail these are now in the balance. T he enemies of s o c ia l order are all awake to their opportunity of taking advantage in the world’s turmoil to extort their ideals of gain and greed.

Our Dore Church War Memorial, to the memory o f local Heroes (the erection of a Lych Gate) proceeds slowly we are surprised to confess. T h e public testimony in every village in the British Isles will stand out as an evidence of Patriotism of that particular village, and thousands have already been completed. Pictures of the proposed L ych G ate may be purchased at the D ore Post Office as Christmas Cards. Tow ards the presumed cost of this Gate, ^400, only £200 so far has been subscribed.

D ivine Service, Christmas Day, Thursday, Dec. 25th: Hoi}’ Communion 8.30, M orning Service ir o'ciock with H oly Communion. T h e offertories of this day will be made on behalf of our Bell Ringers, who are well-deserving of the work they have done during the past year.

For the Tower Fund there will be no house to house begging, therefore we hope for a good response on Christmas D ay.

The usual Church Christmas Festivities w ill be announced nearer the time, such as the Choir Tea, the Sunday School Tea, and the Ringers' Social Evening and T ea.

No doubt it has occurred to all our people during the increasing cost of labour and material that expenses con­nected with the Church’s Up=keep have increased correspondingly, the Churchwardens accordingly hope that this matter may be borne in mind at the usual times on Sunday.

T here may be some disappointment this season by many in the district at the non-receipt of a certain W idows’ Dole. N o doubt next Decem ber the said D ole will be forthcoming. W hat D oles are available for distribution w ill be made in the usual way in the separate districts of D ore and Totley.

A C hildren’s P a rty will be held on Jan. 8th.

The S ocia ls will continue fortnightly, commenc­ing Jan. 15th. W ill some kind friend undertake the Dore C andidates’ C lass.

A Xm as Social Evening will be held on Thursday, Dec. n th . Dancing (Fancy Dress optional), Prizes. Also W hist Drive, to commence at 7.30. Proceeds towards L ych G ate and the Nottingham G .F .S . Lodge. Please come.
