Lancashire.
James's Ministerial Life (information
from www.myprimitivemethodists.org.uk/)
In his early ministerial years, a serious breakdown of
health necessitated frequent change of circuits. James then spent four years at
Bloxwich and Cannock where he missioned a village and built a church. James was
then stationed at Torquay, and to use his own words, James ‘lost his physical
weakness,’ and was able to proceed in the work in good health.
Whilst at Torquay, the circuit membership rose from 141 to 264 over seven
years. At Matlock James built three new churches.
As a preacher James was always attractive, convincing, and spiritually
uplifting. His language was well-chosen and chaste, and his pulpit style most
effective.
James twice held the position of district Sunday School Secretary and was a
member of the Probationers’ Examining Committee for over twenty years. For a number of years, James was the Connexional Teachers’
Examination Secretary.
His obituary records that he brought to his work a diligent, discriminating
mind and a sympathetic disposition.
