Church Pastoral Aid
Sermons were preached on Sunday last in St Peter's and in the evening at Layston on behalf of the Church Pastoral Aid Society by the Rev. C.P. Newell, Curate of Christ Church, Ware, who effectually aroused the interest of his hearers in the cause he was advocating.
In the morning he preached from Micah vii, 3, "With both hands earnestly," contrasting the zeal and earnestness usually displayed in the search for this world's advancement and gain with the half-heartedness of even professing members of the Church in carrying on God's business.
In the evening his text was from Proverbs xxiii. 23, insisting on the value of truth, the cost of truth, and the paramount duty of not selling it, but sharing it with those who have it not.
This, he said, was the main object of the C.P.A. which assists the clergy in crowded parishes, provides them with assistant clergy and lady workers, and also helped to train for Holy Orders men who are otherwise fitted, but are unable to pay for their own training.
The offertories during the day amounted to £3 5s. 4d.
