W. G, Brown, M,A.,B.D„ Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada visited Caven Church, Exeter, on, Friday evening last and was greeted by a large con­ gregation consisting of Pres­ byterians from Hensail and Exeter but with a goodly sprinkling of people from the . three churches in town, including the clergy. They were rewarded with a powerful ex­ position 'based on th© text "The Church of the Living God, th© pil­ lar and ground of the truth.” It was a spiritual and literary classic, characterized throughout by sincere earnestness, from the lips of a great church leader and pulpiteer of the1 first order. Although th© Modera-, tor spoke for two hours the time seemed much shorter, so rapt was the attention which he commanded. Known throughout the Dominion as' “Brown, of Red Deer” he is a typical Westerner, having spent his lifetime preaching on the frontiers of civiliza­ tion and spurning the luxury of city pulpits and the gift of honorary de­ grees both of which have been pressed upon him. Rev. Mr, Brown stressed the 'Sovereignty of God, as the most important article of our Christian faith. He was particular­ ly anxious that the young people should 'be kept in active association with the church. He hit out vigor­ ously at those who repressed enthus­ iasm in church services. He wanted more joy in the singing. The gos- sipers and critics of others came in for a drubbing. To examine oneself requires higher intellectual qualities than to examine others. Reviewing his thirty years experience at the outposts of civilization Mr. Brown recalled that he had preached to all denominations and had once invited to the Lord’s Supper six Roman Catholics who accepted his invita­ tion. He said “The Presbyterian Church is a great Christian Catholic communion. It is not a sect, it never’ was and never will be, I am one hundred per cent. Presbyterian but I am also a strong advocate of the rights of others to worship as their conscience dictates.” He paid public tribute to the kindly attitude of the Anglican Church during the days of trouble and had strong words of denunciation for the employment of political power to deny religious liberty contrary to the spirit of the British constitution. The Moderator gave some figures to illustrate the growth of the Presbyterian Church. Since 1925 thirty thousand Young People have joined the Church. Of these 19,500 have come up from the Sunday .Schools. Churches and Manses have been built and ‘bought to the value of $5,000,000. He es­ timated that with the same rate of growth in fifteen years the Presby­ terian Church would be back to pre­ union strength.' t Rev. Mr. Brown spoke very highly of the work of Dr. Margaret Strang, in the Peace River country and con­ gratulated iC'aven people that they were helping to produce such a fine type of Missionary worker. The Min­ ister, Rev. J. B. Rhodes, M.A., pre­ sided and introduced the speaker while Rev. J. McIlroy, of Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall, assist­ ed in the opening exercises. The front of the church was -beautifully {decorated with bouquets of roses, carnations, tulips, daffodils apd sweet peas, ’ BEI.WROBINS A quiet hut pretty wedding was* solemnized on Saturday, January 30, at high noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Robins, Brucefieltf, {when their second daughter, Cbcelia Dorothy, was united in marriage to i William James Forsyth, son of Mr, l and Mrs. Andrew Bell, of Kjppem I The Rev. w.
