Holmes the services were conduoted by the pastor, Rev. Jasper Wilson, M.A., who preached two excellent sermons notwithstanding that he had made no preparation what- ever. The missionary reports were read, and the handling and appropriation of the. moneys, of which there has been so much said, was thoroughly explained, and we think to the satisfaction of all. Mr. Holmes, who was detained in Winvhatn over Sunday, owing to the train from Owen Sound being delayed by a snow blockade,. and failing to connect with the L 1L. & 73. train, arrived in Exeter n not wishingto dia- . and ends morning 1VI Y g� appoint his Exeter friends, addressed a gathering in the church on Monday evg. on missionary topics. His address was highly instructive and entertaining and was full of weight, The subscriptions and collections amounted to $335; last year the Main-st church subscribed, $330 to the missionary fund. Despite the ung favorable weather this year's missionary services were of a successful character. Exeter Municipal.
