in their daily walks and duties.
Rev,
to the
ed the
port of
ious organizations to the church and
to the minister. He regretted the
tendency of the falling off of at
tendance at the evening services of
worship. Officials as well as the
minister should be duly concerned.
With the overseeing of a large con
gregation it is a difficult problem to
meet the needs of a pastoral charge
and at the same time devote 'the
necessary time to reading and the
preparation of the necessary ser
mons and addresses required of a
minister. If one is well done, the
other must of necessity take sec
ond place.
Mr. Irwin was ‘welcomed to the
Presbytery and to the London Con
ference from Westside United
church, Owen Sound, by a number,
of the ministers present. The choir
sang an anthem, “Bless the Lord
O My Soul.”
At the close of the service refresh
ments were served in the church
parlors by members of the Women’s
Association and members and friends
of the congregation were presented
to Mr. and Mrs. Irwin by Mrs. Stein
er, president of the Association.
Mrs. Irwin was presented with a
bouquet of flowers. Mr. and Mrs.
Irwin left the following day for
a month’s vacation. M|r, Irwin?
will commence his pastorate by tak
ing charge ofthe union services the
first Sunday in August.

GAS MASKS NEEDED AS
AMMONIA FUMES ESCAPE
Escaping ammonia fumes at the
Exeter branch of Canada Packers
caused the workmen to make a hur
ried exit from the cold storage room
on the second floor of the building
on Tuesday.’ Gas masks, something
we were unaware were in Exeter,
had to be donned before the neces
sary repairs could be made. One
of the men was working-at the top
of a thirteen-foot ladder when the
break occurred and it was with
some difficulty but great speed that
he made his exit. A gas mask in
side the door of the chamber could
not be retrieved until a second one
was secured from the Exeter cream-
i ery.
