Brown. it was about fifty-eight years ago that the personage. since enlarged was [wilt : so that about two-thirds of the pastors in this list were occupants of it. Mr. Yates mentioned a remark- able fact, that the North street con - "gregation had never lost a pastor, or a pastor's wife, by death. So far se is remembered. the only funeral that ever took place from the parsonage was that of the two young sous of Rev. J. E. Howell, following a drown- ing accident that shocked the whole community. Another interesting fact in connection with the list of pastors ✓ ead by Mr. Yates is that it was writ - From Rev.

Home is a place where love takes deeper root and the joys of domestic lite tbelrrichest tints. It need not be a palace : it need not be enriched with every material comfort: but these material comforts will no more deteriorate the value of home than a golden setting would detract from the value of the gem it enshrines. May your new parsonage be so re- splendent that the occupants will be able to say : No place like lour Gode- rich) home." From Rev. Geo. N. Hagen, London "DEAR BRo.

Dr. Dougall's suggestion regarding the old bricks was much commented upon. but one of the speaker• stated they would need all the old bricks to put into the building of the new house. However, anyone who may want to purchase any of them on Dr. Dougall's terms will no doubt be ae- oommodeted.

Master Harold Williams gave a var- iety song, "Dr. Ma'Oinn," in costume, and earned a recall. A doll drill by twenty little girls was prettily executed. A recitation and chorus, "Canada," concluding with the singing of "0 Canada," was a good patriotic number. The recitation was by three boys, Har- old Willem*, Graham Ross and Benson Bell. A score of boys gave an exhibition of cslistheni.a in smart +tyle. "Abendlied" was effectively recited by twelve girls, with a musical accom- pan: pent. The ever popular "Maypole Dance" was given by ten boyo and girls and was very prettily performed. Miss Jean Bogie assisted Mr. Hunter skilfully in a piano duet. The first part of the program con- cluded with a tableaux, "Festival of the Flowers." After a short intermission a piano trio was brilliantly played by Misses Stoddart and Coulson and Air. J. B. Hunter. A part song "Cell John." was given by some of the pupils. A recitation of one of I)r. Drum - mood's habitant poems, "Lint's de Way," was given in excellent style by Master Leonard Macklin. Mies Elda Stoddart sang "The Little Irish Girl," and won golden opinions for the way in which she did it. She had an entbusiastic recall. "The Charcoal Map, a recitation by Miss Elsie Deem/Age, was well done. Mia Clara Richardson and James F. Thomson sang "The Crookit Bawbse," and the thunderous applause which followed was almost equalled by that which greeted their encore number. "When Ye Gang Awa'. Jamie." One of the prettiest performances of the evening was the wreath cotillion, h twelve girls dressed in pink with sliver trimming. and carrying wreaths of the same oolors.
