Anniversary Services. The eighth Anniversary of the Main Street Methodist church was held on Sunday and Monday, khe 4th and 5th inst. The Rev. J. N. Oliver, D. D., of Sarnia, occupied the pulpit both morn- ing and evening. His discourses were eloquent and proved a rare treat to the very large congregations. The reverend gentleman is possessed of a good flow of language, his diction is excellent, his metaphors beautiful, word, pictures of rare interest and his interspersed poetical effusions showed his intimate acquaintance with the works of the great poets. The choir rendered excellent assistance to the services, while Miss Eva Hueston sang a solo in the evening that was well re: ceived. On Monday evening the Rev. Oliver delivered his famous and inter- esting lecture, entitled, "Fights for the Old Flag." The attendance was not as large as the merits of the occas- ion warranted, but those in attend- ance were abundantly rewarded for their pains. The lecture was one of a most interesting character. As a de- scriptive word painter Rev. Oliver possesses powers which are 'second to none and he carried his audience with him at will as he.unfolded the interest- ing details incident to the subject of his discourse. At the conclusion of the lecture a hearty vote of thanks was tendered the able lecturer for his interesting and excellent discourse. During the evening appreciative and ably rendered solos were sung by Miss Eva Hueston and Rev. Currie of Sarn- ia. The proceeds of both occasions amounted to $266. Council Minutes.
