Thank you for your comment, Roger. You can post a photo of your certificate on this site by clicking on ‘add your story’. We’ll then publish it in this section. No idea about ILB/JLB though!

Thanks for all the information about JMA including collecting boxes, medals etc. I am going through family diaries and papers and have come across a lot of things relating to JMA and your material has been really helpful in allowing me to understand what’s what! In addition to medals, I have a certificate for the years 1961 to 1969 with seals for seven of those years. I would have attached a photo as I have not seen such certificates on your site but I could not seem to attach a photo.
Finally, a question. In reference to a JMA Circuit Rally in March 1965, my grandad referred to it as ILB. Any idea what that stands for? (It could possible by JLB).

Thank you for alerting us to that-I’ve fixed the link now.
I think there were various designs of collecting boxes over the years, but I had one like the above in the 1960s.

The link to the JMA page of the Methodist Church leads to a page titled “Page Not Found”.
When I was a child many years ago (about 1970), I was in a Methodist Church Sunday School. I collected money and got a medal with “JMC DSO FOR ZEAL FOR CHRIST” on it. I cannot remember whether or not I collected money in a collecting box like the one in the picture – is that what children used then, please?
