INDUCTION SERVICE
Rev. John Galloway is Inducted as
New Minister at Caven Church
An impressive service was held
in Caven Presbyterian enureh on
rriaay evening, reuruaiy 27th,
when the new minister, Rev. John
Galloway, was inducted into his new
pastorate. The Presoytery of Huron
naa held their regular meeting in
tne church during the day. The
storm that had been sweeping this
section of the country for some
days ’previous had abated and a good
congregation attended the cere-'
mony. Dr. Barnett, Moderator of
the Presbytery, had charge of the
meeting. Rev. Hugh Jack, of Sea
forth, .preached, taking for his text
Hab., chapter 11, verses 1 and 2.
He pressed the point that almost
exactly similar conditions prevailed
at the time that the prophet spoke
and wrote as are in the world to
day with all the suffering, blood
shed and misery and before hope of
better world conditions can prevail
there will need to be the same con
fession, repentance and faith that
the prophet stressed. Rev. Wm,
Weir, interim moderator of Caven
Session during the vacancy, nar
rated the steps that had taken
piace during his term of office that
led up to this happy .consummation
taking place. Mr. Galloway having
given his assent to the Bible being
.the word of God and to the Confes
sion of Faith and the standards of
the Presbyterian Church, he was
duly inducted as minister of Cav
en church and given the right hand
of fellowship. Rev, D. J. Lane, of
Goderich, gave the charge to the
congregation by reminding them of
their part in the covenant entered
into in this service and stressed the
great need o.f church attendance
and. co-operation with their new
minister. Dr. Barnett spoke words
.pf admonition and encouragement
to the new minister as he entered
his new duties. Rov. N. J. Woods
of the United church brought greet
ing from the Exeter Ministerial As
sociation and an invitation to join
them. Mr. Galloway was request
ed to pronounce the benediction as
the first public act of his ministry
in. Exeter.
At a meeting in the basement of
the church following the service,
Rev. and Mrs. Galloway were in
troduced to their people. Greetings
from Rev. D. C. and Mrs. Hill and
also from Flying. Officer Thomas
Pryde were conveyed by -letter and
telegram to the audience. Rev.
Mr. Weir was publicly thanked for
his services. A cup of tea was
served by the ladies and a pleasant
time spent socially brought the
meeting to a close.
