Thursday afternoon, Dec. 2nd, was
the day set apart by Maitland Presby
tery for the induction of Rev. R. A.
Lundy, B. A„ as pastor of Duff’s
Chinch, Walton. The day was fine
permitting a large attendance of
members of the congregation as well
as representatives from various points
in the Presbytery at the interesting
ceremony, At 2 o’clock Bev. W. J.
West, M. A., Clerk of Presbytery,
called for objections to the induction
and none being forthcoming Rev. Mr.
Edmison, of Kincardine, took charge
of the preaching service. The well
known 23rd Psalm was heartily sung,
followed by a Scripture lesson from
Hebrews, 6th chapter, and prayer.
Hymn 113, “Creator Spirit! by whose
aid,” was joined in and the preacher
announced his text, I Timothy, 6th
chapter and 12th verse, “Eight the
good fight of Faith.” It was a good
sermon, brief, well pointed, eminently
practical and most suitable to the
occasion, The strenuous character of
the Christian life was pointed out and
Paul's characterization of it demon
strated the heroism, moral courage, a
terribly earnest business, likened to a
warfare. Preparation necessary for
the long marches, short rations, bat
tles, &c., all for victory. There is the
battle for bread ; the battle of sorrow
and misfortune ; the battle with sin,
no sham battle, no moss covered road.
John Bunyan, the master delineator
of Christian character, showed the
earnest character of the journey.
Enemies abound in life’s circum
stances. evil habits, evil tendencies,
in our heart. Augustine, Martin
Luther and Paul were pointed as illus
trations of the strenuous life. There
is no release from the warfare and our
best is required. Moral achievements
demand the use of all our powers.
There’s safety in holding the sword.
Israel found it so and David likewise.
It was said of the Spartans they were
safe while fighting but peace meant
ruin. Get into service ; fight to the
finish ; struggle to be a hero. If you
fall let it be forward like Stephen
rather than backward like Judas.
Rev. Mr. Edmison closed with a very
appropriate quotation from Brown
ing. Prayer and hymn “Fight the
good fight with all thy might,”
brought this very profitable part of
the exercises to a conclusion.
Rev. Mr. Tait, of Teeswater, Moder
ator, called on Rev. A. 0. Wishart, B.
A., of Brussels, who was Moderator of
the congregation during the vacancy,
to narrate the steps taken leading to
the call. This was done briefly show
ing that of all the good men heard
Rev. Mr. Lundy was the unanimous
choice.
The usual questions were put to
Rev. Mr. Lundy and satisfactorily
answered and the Moderator offered
prayer, after the induction.
The new pastor was addressed by
Rev. Mr. Ferguson, of Belgrave, who
pointed out that the minister’s office
was a religious oue of honor and
responsibility requiring patient toil
and selfdenial. He was a prophet
and must speak for God ; a man with’
a message ; an ambassador correctly
representing his Master. He must
deal with the deepest need of Lhe
human soul. The ministry is not a
mere profession, rather a calling from
God and the church As pastor have
a clear and high conception of the
ministry as it is a sacred task. It will
save x it from mere professional
routine. Feel its true nature and it
will keep us from frittering away
time in that which is not real work.
Preserve a true balance in life care
fully guarding it. Permanent work
will not jise hieher than the pastor.
In handling sacred things beware of
formality. The minister’s life is a
busy one with little leisure. It is not
his work to run all th'e organizations
as he must take time to enrich his
own life, by self culture, meditation
and study. Where there is no vision
the people perish. Both rnlud and
heart need to be saturated. There is
a sure reward as preaching and pas
toral work enriches and brings out a
man’s best, concentrating his powers
and drawing a man near Christ. Rev.
Mr. Ferguson handled his subject well.
Rev. D. B. McRae, of Oranbrook,
spoke to the congregation, this being
the 3rd time he was called Upon to
perform the duty. From quotations
of Scripture he enjoined them to en-
courage their pastor, esteeming him
for his work’s sake, attend church to
hear the message and put it into prac
tice. ; Don’t allow the minister to do
all the work. Help him. Show him
respect. Provide for his wants. Pay
him regularly and cheerfully. Praise
him and don’t forget to pray for him.
The speaker was plain, pleasant and
practical in his address.
Hymn 460, the first verse of which
reads :—
“Pour out Thy Spirit from on high ;
Lord, Thine assembled servants
bless ;
Graces and gifts to each supply,
And clothe Thy priests with right
eousness.”
was sung, the benediction pronounced
after which Rev. Mr. Wishart, accom
panied by Elder Smillie, conducted
the new pastor to the door where he
was introduced to the people.

TEA MEETING ATTRACTS CROWD
In the evening a Tea Meeting was
held. A splendid fowl supper was
served in the basement and the attend
ance was so large that even with im
provised seats i u the aisles many had
to stand. Rev, Mr. Wishart made a
good chairman and the long and vari
ed program was excellent, marred
somewhat by a talkative few who
could not procure seats. A double
quartette from Seaforth consisting of
Misses Beattie, Atkinson, Reid and
Bright and Messrs. Bright, Pickard,
Willis and Bright with Miss White as
accompanist, sang “Songs of Thanks
giving” Elder Smillie thanked Bev.
Mr. Wishart for his valued services as
Moderator and welcomed Rev. and
Mrs. Lundy to Duff’s church pastorate.
“The Highlands” was the title of a
solo by Miss Beattie which was well
sung; Rev. Mr. Carswell, of Win
throp, spoke very sensible sentences
on' “The influence of one man in a
quiet community” ; Male quartette,
“Four little Lambs” ; Rev. Mr. Mc
Rae with humor and words of wisdom
dealt with “The sins of the pew,”
touching up the late pew, the sleepy
pew, the giddy pew, the copper pew
and the critic’s pew ; The song of
“Niagara” was rendered by the double
quartette ; W. H. Kerr, of The Post,
voiced the sentiments of the Metho
dist church in welcoming Rev. Mr.
Lundy and his good lady ; The ladies
trio sang “Saviour breathe an evening
blessing” ; Rev. J. L. Small, B. A., of
Blyth, took as his topic “Wanted—a
man” pointing out desirable character
istics ; jAfter a humorous chorus the
new pastor spoke briefly expressing
thanks of Mrs. Lundy and himself for
the whole-souled manner in which
they were received and bespoke hearty
co-operation and wished for a happy
aud successful pastorate ; Male quar
tette, "Daddy,” and closing words
from the chairman the program was
concluded by the double quartette
giving a rousing number entitled
“Song of Victory." The musical
selections during the evening were
well chosen, excellently sung and were
greatly enjoyed. The financial pro
ceeds of the evening totalled the large
sum of $115.

Geo. McCall and took up residence in
Walton where he made his home for
a number of years. After Mrs.
Moore’s death he went to Guelph and
boarded with his sister, Mrs. Squir-
relle, whose husband is gardener at
the Model Farm. Mr. and Mrs.
Moore left no family, Mrs. Edward
Garvin, near Brussels, is Mr. Moore's
sister. The subject of this notice was
a loyal Presbyterian, being an Elder
for a. long period. In politics he was
an ardent Liberal. Thus there has
been called away another of the
sturdy men who industriously and
successfully did his part in felling the
monarchs of the forest and working
faithfully for the improvement of Lhe
country.

Mi. Irwin is a lawyer of repute, an
Elder in the Presbyterian Church and
an eloquent platform speaker, who
can deal with every side of the Local

The Local Option meeting, held in
the Township Hall Thursday evening
of last week, was well attended con
sidering the inclemency of the
weather. Rev. J. Henderson occupied
the chair with acceptance. A short
speech was made by ex-Reeve Thos.
Strachan, Chairman of Grey"township
organization, wlio is very enthusiastic
over the question of Local Option.
Rev. Dr. Pidgeon, of Vancouver, B.
C., recently of Toronto Junction, was
lhe speaker of the evening and gave a
splendid address. From what he
knew personally of Local Option he
was satisfied it would work great
good and urged Grey electors to adopt
it by a big majority. Arguments
against the law were cleverly answer
ed and numerous reasons were given
as to why the bar room should be
closed. It is expected that Ethel divi
sion will do, as it nearly always does,
roll up a big majority for the Act on
January 3rd.
L. O. L.—A public meeting of the
Orange Order was held in Township
Hall Friday evening, Dec. 10th, at
which R. Birmingham, organizer,
gave a splendid address to a. large
audience. He traced Orangeism to
William III and went back in history
to the time of the Stuarts and showed
the need of Protestantism then and
the good the country had derived
from William’s bravery and reign as
a sovereign over England, Ireland
and Scotland. Referring to Canada
the speaker showed the need of
Protestants and the Orange Order be
ing wideawake. There is really no
Lord’s Day in Quebec, Sunday closes
at 12 a. m. and many of the courts are
held exclusively in French. Tile dis
advantage of the Separate School Act
as it is in Ontario and has been im
posed on the new Provinces was re
ferred to. Rev. Mr. Henderson gave
a few well chosen remarks. The
meeting was enlivened by the Ethel
orchestra which was much appreciat
ed.
Passed Away.—We regret to be
called upon to record the decease of
Jonathan Wright, who departed this
life Thursday of last week, aged 35
years. He was stricken with typhoid
fever and a combtinaion of other
ailments a few weeks ago and despite
all that could be done lie succumbed.
Mr. Wright’s fine farm is opposite
Ethel cheese factory. He was a good
farmer and took quite an interest in
stock, his fancy running along tile
line of Holsteiu cattle. Deceased was
a son of the late Hugh Wright, Sth
con. and along with a brother of the
former makes the 3rd death in the
past two years. Mr. Wright is sur
vived by liis wife and one son. Fun
eral, took place Saturday afternoon,
interment being made at Elma Centre
cemetery. Rev. Mr. Henderson, de
ceased’s pastor, conducted the service
and the Canadian Order, of Forester’s
to which Mr. Wright belonged assist
ed. Mrs. Wright was a Miss Clark,
of Elma, before her marriage.
The bereaved will be deep
ly sympathised, with in their sorrow. Mr. Wright was a resident of this
locality for years and was highly es
teemed.
