The Westminster of last week has this to say about the Thames Road Presbyterian church and congregation: "The twentieth anniversary of the settlement at Thames Road and Kirk - ton, of the Rev. 0. Fletcher, M. A., was held in the Thames Road church on Sabbath last, the services being conducted by Rev. Dr. 'Warden, of Toronto. The church was filled to overflowing both morning and even- ing. This congregation is situated 311 One of the best farming districts in Canada. It consists of 75 families in the Thames Road section, and 50 in the Kirkton section. Since Mr Fletc- her's settlement one of the finest churches to be seen in any country district was erected by the people of Thames Road, at an expense of up- wards of $6,000, the whole cost being met by the congregation in two years. They have recently made certain im- provements upon the manse and erect- ed a fine new stable and out -buildings for the minister, who is deservedly re- spected by Inc attached congregation. It will not surprise the friends of Thames Road and Kirkton to learn that before Mr. Pletcher celebrates his 21st anniversary as their pastor they will have given another indication of their appreciation of his services by handsome increase to his salary."
