The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1928-07-05, Page 2THURSDAY, JVIiY 5th, 192S THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE |PAWm ADRESS. Th© following is in part the fare’ well .address of Rev. G. M. Chid- 3«y, at the Thames Road United church on Sunday .morning June the SMth. Following the address Rev. JKr. Chidley preached a splednid ser- smon from the text “Behold I set be­ fore you an® open door and no man can close it.*’ The address was in- <ended for alst week but owing to Jack of space was crowded out. *T deeply appreciate the honor >*u have conferred upon me in in­ citing me to conduct the anniver­ sary services on my last Sunday among you. I think most of you realise that it- is no easy task. I do not intend to speak at any great length, yet I feel that in justice to you and to yourself, some words ought to be spoken concerning the relation ships of the past seven years and more. Yet me say that it is with a very keen .sense of regret that I con­ template the severance of those re­ lationships. My roots have gone in very deep For myself, to live in a community, to become part of that community and I do not under­ stand anyone who has any other ex- erience. It has been good to be After - Holiday Sale Drive down and let me check up your tires and tubes.

If that seems like flattering let me add that I am quite conscious that you are not perfect; that there is still room for improvement. I well remember when I came among you seven years ago, having heard of Dr. Fletcher and the Thames Road congregation, that I rather expected, indeed I might say feared, that you were a congregation of saints. I suppose I might have known better. Not that I have not met saints, I liave, any many of saihtiy qualities I have met here, But mostly I have come in contact. with an abundance of good human nature in its very love­ ly forms. Indeed looking back on this seven years I can easily under­ stand why Dr. Fletcher remained 43 years and if I were to consult my own inclinations and desires, I would follow his example. And yet 'I doubt whether it would be best. I believe that it is best both for you and me that wo should both have a fresh start. In these seven years some things have been done, some things have been left undone; some opportunities have been grasped,others have been lost; some loose ends have been left which another will be able to catch up and so it seems best to part. Seven year is not a long time, yet long enough for great changes. The most important change -was of course church Union. When I came here there were two churches on this corner; two congregations in this community. Now you are one. Then Thames Road was unit- wth the Stone church at Kirkton. Now you are happily joined with Roy’s church. And may I here say a sincere word of thanks to the Be­ thany people and to the Roy’s people for all their help and sup­ port. In another direction changes are seen. It may surprise you to know that of the 170 who were members of the Thames Road congregation seven years ago, only 91 are left. It will no doubt interest you to know also that of those who were members when Dr. Fletcher came only eight remain. During the 7 years 80 members were added to the roll, nearly half the total mem­ bership. Of course many of these are also now removed. So does the persouell of a congregation change before our eyes, To the sessions, stewards, man­ agers, officers and teachers of the Sunday schools, choirs and all other organizations of both Thames Road and Roy’s congregations I wish to express my gratitude for all your kindly cooperation and support. Not that there has always been the pro­ gress there might have been; not that there have not been differences of opinion; but at all times there has been a degree of consideration and Christian charity that is good to think of and will be good to think of .in the years to come. But I promised to be breif and must conclude. To all the mem­ bers and faniilies of both congrega­ tions and of this community, on be: half of Mrs. Chidley, our family and myself, I wish to express our heart­ felt appreciation for all your kind­ ness, We shall always treasure, as flowers in memory's 'garden, these seven years beneath the evengreens in the Thames Road manse. Mr. Chidley then took for his text "Behold I have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it’’ from which he preached a very elo­ quent sermon. The nine persons referred to as members when the late Dr. Fletcher came to Thames Road were:-Mrs. Robt. Monteith, Mrs. Alex Hackney, Sr., Mr. Andrew Gibson, Mr, Wm. Kydd, Mrs. Wm. Kydd, Mrs. Robt. Alexander, Mrs. John McQueen, Mrs. James Gardiner, Mr. Andrew Turn­ bull.
