Accepts Cali to Stratford
REV. W. E. DONNELLY, B.A.
Rev. W. E. Donnelly, -13.A., : the
popular pastor of James St. Metho-
dist church, has received 'a call, to
Central' M li
et odist Church, Stratford,
to become their pastor at the next
conference year. Rev. Donnelly is
a young man of marked ability and
his rise in the ministry .has been �
rapid. He is on his second year as
pastor of .James St. Church, coming
to Exeter from Amh@rstburg. Dur-
ing : the time he has been in Exeter
he has not only won . the • esteem and
admiration of his own congregation,
but he has made friends with all
withwhom he has come in contact.
Within a few weeks after coifing
here he was able- to call all of 'his
large congregation and most of the
citizens by name, and he has had
no favorites, treating all alike:In
the pulpit he is a fluent and force-
ful speaker, having a remarkable
command of the English language.
He has several very popular lectures
and has been in great demand. .At
a meeting of the Quarterly. Board' of
the, church Sunday morning, follow-
ing the service, Mr. Donnelly placed
the !natter- of his call to Stratford
before them. Several spoke expres-
sing the esteem in which the pastor
is held by the congregation and of
their regret at losing him, but the
Board were ,.unanimous that nothing
should be placed in the way of Mr.
Donnell;r's advancement ,and w,gi•ant-
ed him an honorable release. A sup-
ply conuuittee was appointed to look.
for a. successor.
Mr., and, Mrs. .Wallace .Rice and
family of Petrolia manager of the
local branch of Libby; McNeil and
Libby pickle plant moved to town
a.n Tuesday of this week.
As the municipal elections are '
dra},ying' nearer the, pot is beginning
to boil. It looks as if there will be
a contest for the reeveship as we
understand Mr. C. B. Snell's friends
have persuaded him to stand again.
None of the present council have
signified their intention of with-
drawing.
Mr. Aaron Cudmore of Crystal
City, Man., is visiting. among ' ofd
friends in and around Exeter. Mr.
Cudmore is now visiting : with . his
sister, Mrs. John Johns. • Mr, Cud -
more was a former resident of Ex-
eter, but left these parts many years
ago for the West, where he has since
resided..
