December
ANOTHER figure is added to the number of our years, and we have launched forth full of hope into 1898. We wish all our friends and parishioners a most happy and prosperous new year. The past year has not been without its encoura.gements. It has been 3 brighter and happier year for most people, and our hope for all is that this year may bring with it additional joy and happiness.
DEATH has not been idle in Downham during the past year. Some of the oldest and best-known...]]></description>

October
Two more Harvest Festivals have been added to the offering of thanksgiving for a beautiful season and a prosperous harvest in this parish. At Pymoor, we kept the feast on Sunday, October 3rd, and a very large congregation united in making it a real thanksgiving. Many flowers and vegetables had been sent, and the collection at the service amounted to £1 13 8.'
AT S. Owen's, great pains were taken to add by gifts of vegetables and flowers, &amp;c., to the solemnity of the...]]></description>

September
THE past has been a month almost unprecedently beautiful. Fine and warm weather, and abundance of it, have compensated for a wet August. The result has been that all the harvest has been" safely gathered in." If it can ever be said of a farmer that all anxiety is past, he may be considered in that happy position now. We have only to hope that he may now be well paid for the produce of his land and his labour. 
WE celebrated our Harvest Festival on the 22nd of September. Tuesday...]]></description>

August
&#160;
RARELY have the crops looked more promising than this year. The prospects of an abundant harvest were most cheering, and rarely has an abundant harvest appeared more necessary. The wheat crops in all countries from which England has been in the habit of drawing supplies have been a comparative failure except in America. The consequence was inevitable, Americans determined to get the highest possible price for their wheat. Their intention was to raise it five shillings a...]]></description>

July
THE past month has been one of varied entertainments, and opportunities for enjoyment. Now we are on the eve of the harvest. Everyone is preparing for this great work of the year, the ingathering of the harvest. It stands all around us in the glory of its abundance, the beautiful gift of God assuring man of his care. and providence. The fields of this parish have probably never looked fuller of promise than this Year. Would that all engaged in the harvest might approach it in that...]]></description>

June
THE sixtieth year of Her Majesty the Queen's reign has been marked by joy all oyer her vast Empire. It will always be a conspicuous year; not only one of gathering together of her subjects from all parts of the world, but also one of great prosperity. Never has the country been more prosperous, never has there been less poverty; never, perhaps, have the prospects of the harvest been brighter. The bright sun that burst forth the moment the Queen started upon her triumphal procession...]]></description>

May
OUR first words must be those of profound gratitude for well-spent Lent, in commemoration of our Saviour’s long fast and temptation in the wilderness. Surely, the more we try to follow closely in His footsteps, the nearer we shall be to Him, and the more we shall make ourselves one with Him. This, we are thankful to say, seemed fully realized by the large number who made Lent a time of special devotion; and on Good Friday, during the three hours’ darkness that reigned over Calvary...]]></description>

THE CEMETERY.—-On Monday evening, the 15th, in response to an invitation from the Rector, a very large and representative meeting was held to consider the present condition and the future of the Cemetery. All who have any affection or respect for the departed have no doubt felt that some little self-sacrifice is due to their memory. The case stands thus in 1859 the Rector, Rev. H. Lawes gave three acres of land for an additional burial ground. However, after making a present to the...]]></description>

March
FLOODS owing to the sudden thaw, and incessant rains, have prevailed all over England. Many of the low lying parts have presented the appearance of inland seas. For many miles nothing has been visible but trees, and here and there a post sticking up. When we read the reports from Peterborough of dead horses, sheep and pigs being swept on the flood into the river, and consider the-terrible loss and anxiety, we ought to congratulate ourselves on the way in which we have been spared...]]></description>

February 1897
ONE great white sheet of snow has covered the ground for the last fortnight, and has given to our Fen a wild and weird appearance. All work on the land has been at a standstill, and there has been so little work about that it is to be feared, many are feeling the pinch. Still at such times may be seen the great advantage of living in the country over London. Alone and unknown in London in winter without work, a high rent to pay weekly, every mouthful of food, and every...]]></description>
