For some month . past it has been
understood that R;v. Dr.Ward, pastor
of the Congregati.'.al Church, Wing -
ham, intended maki , g a prolonged trip
to the Old Land. 0n Friday evening
last he was tendered a farewell social
at the residence of r. Robt, Currie,

hundred of his frien, s were present
and spent a most socia.le and profitable
evening together. ' ith. Mr.T. Deans
in the chain; a please, t programme was
gone through. Rec tations were well
given by Miss A. Currie and John, ,
Elliott, it dialogue by Misses Currie,•
Tervit and Murdoc singing by Misses
Miller and Blackw 11, and the Wing-
ham church and th Cedarville choirs.
At this juncture r. W. Robertson
read an address an Mrs. J, Ritchie
presented Mrs. Ward ith a gold -lined
egg cup combination, silver biscuit jar
and pair of ladies' cold cuff buttons.
The address read as ollows r
Rev. Dr. Ward, Pas r of theQongregatianal
Church, Wingham :
DEAR Sia,—We, the .• embers and friends
of the congregation, de ire on this the eve
of your departure -to t mother land, to
convey to you our hi h appreciation of
the many noble qual' ies of heart and
mind which you have er exhibited among
us as a Christian past , r, ever ready by day
and by night to visit t e afflicted and cote=
fort the sorrowing, an by your happy and
cheerful disposition, a: well as by your
wise counsel, you ha e ever sought to
direct each and all to ho true source of
real jay, happiness au • peace. Not only
as a Christian minister 1 ave you endeared
yourself to us, but as citizen you have
ever boon foremost in very good move-
ment, having for its d the elevation of
the people intellect , ally, morally and
spiritually. Tbis br':f address would be
moat incomplete with t reference to Mrs.
Ward, who, by her um. orm kindness and
courtesy, as well as ,y her unceasing
eff.rts not only to pro..ote the best inter.
est of our Zion, but '1 every sphere of
womanly, christiau sy •• pathy and activity
has always taken an naive and ;intelli-
gent part endearing 1 erself to us far be-
yond anything we oa.find bare words to
express. We therefor: ask her to accept,
at our hands, this small t en of our esteem
as an expression of our appreciation of
her services reudered at a 1 times so cheer-
fully and in every way fo • the furtherance

In an exceedingly
propriate speech, earnest, candid,
stimulating, the Dr. eviewed his year's
labor in the chs ge, pitying a Bight
tribute to the zee , activity and kind-
ness of the peopl- to whom he minis-
tered. With mot:, sty,true gentletnan-
liness and sinceri he thanked the
donors for their ha idsome gift. The
gathering sang the National Anthemi
and the audienc dispersed,. after
tendering thanks • their entertainers.
The Dr.'s dep' •tore will be heard
with genuine re et. Allo, scholarly,
cultured, genial active and an inde-
fatigable works , he has made a wide
circle of warm friends. He is a liberal
minded man, fe ly abreast of the cur-
rent thought o the age, a pleasant
eonversationelis who has inspiration
in his actions a d his speech. For six
years previous in the employ of the
noble late E 'i of Shaftesbury, five
year's ago he was sent out to take
charge of a be s' school at Iiamilton,
Ont, Over a y .ar ago, he came to
Wingham and is now forced to take a
lengthened leave f absence on account
of the state of Mrs. Ward's health.
