The Rev. H. Shaw, of Thrapston, who has done excellent service in the Raunds Wesleyan Circuit, will remove to the Higham Ferrers Wesleyan Circuit at the end of August, having been appointed minister at the Park-road Wesleyan Church, Rushden. He will commence his ministry at Rushden on Sunday, September 2nd, and he comes with the highest credentials. Born in Sheffield on July 26th 1882, Mr. Shaw was brought up in the Society of Friends, but at the age of 21 he became a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and was a candidate for the ministry in 1905. On being accepted, he was sent for one year to the Worksop Circuit, after which he entered upon a course of theological training at Headingley College, Leeds. After his three years’ course at Headingly College, Mr. Shaw volunteered for pioneer work in Southern Rhodesia, South Africa. He returned to English work after two years’ labourer in Rhodesia, and he has since travelled in the Oundle, Alford (Lincolnshire) and Raunds Circuits. In 1912 he married a Sheffield lady, Miss A. E. Brammer, who was, for several years, in the Sheffield Great Central Mission. In coming to Rushden, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw will receive a cordial welcome, and will find a splendid sphere for usefulness. |
