Address.
Dr. and Mrs. Quackenbush left
Tuesday morning for their new home
do Woudreau. Ont., 'where he has ac-
cepted a position of full charge of an
hospital for a large company of in-
ternational fame.
The, Doctor while in Exeter has
proved himself to be a most •worthy
citizen, besides his regular practice
he filled the position for several
years of 'Medical Health Officerand
while this department of our public
service had been in his charge. the
town enjoyed health and sanitation
of a high order. He also filled the Fos
ition as teacher of the Adult Bible
Class, in. James St. Methodist church
a plass of ninety-two members, with
an average attendance of sixty-teix.
In this capacity as in all others he
proved himself to be a man a time
like this demands. a man possessed
with a strong mind, a great heart,
true faith and a ready hand. A man
whom the Just of office docs not kill
of whom the spoils of office; docs not
buy. but a man who possesses opin-
ions and a will, a man who lives a-
bove the fog in public duty and in pri
rate thinking. Ile endeared himself
to his class who took occasion on Sun- •
day afternoon to present him with a
beautiful South Sea Lion leather
club bag fitted with a com.pletc gen-

Main St. Atlnivers .ry
The anniversary services in Main
St. /Methodist church last Sabbath
were a grand success in every part-
icular. Fine weather (prevailed -and.
large icongregations turned out, 'in
the evening the church being packed
to the doors,. The special speaker, of
the evening was (Rev- Dr. PI;. W.
Crews, M. A., ,l). D., of the Central
Methodist Church, Woodstock, who
delivered two eloquent and inspiring
sermons. The choir was assisted by
Mr. J. Frederick lBentley, of Toronto
whose selection as e oloist was greatly
appreciated by the audience. The
Presbyterian (church was closed for
the evening and associated with Dr.
Crews on the platform were Rev.. S.
F. Sharp and Rev. E. G, Powell, for-
mer pastor of the church. Rev. S.
W. Muxworthy was at Woods o k e. n
ducting services for Rev. Crews. The
collections for the day were very lib-
eral and exceeded •those of any for-
mer anniversary and the trustees will
be able to emeet the indebtedness on
the new church shed.
In the evening Dr. Crews took
his text fromGenesis 20, 18. "And
Isaac digged again the wells of water
which -they digged in the days of Ab-'
raham, his father; for tbe Phillis-
tines had stopped them after the dea
th of Abraham." The speaker refer-
red to the 'large sums of money slant.
and the long distance that some of
the cities on the continent be:night
their water supply, but the Old Tes-
tament time wells 'were sunk by the
forefathers. Abraham and Isaac were
contrasts. Abraham was n militant
Man while Isaac was a man of peace.
The Phillistines had filled up the well
causing great inconvenience. The con-
ducl; of the Phillistines filling up. the
wells has an application to the pre-
sent age. It 'presents three pictures
of the life and conduct of lhd :nen to-
day. The first is the .picture of the
evil toward the good. If you have
something good men will envy you;
if you have (property men will envy
it. 'Enmity and evil influences would
like to destroy the egoo'd. There' is •a
picture of the evil toward the good.
and a picture of the good toward, the
evil. Abraham was a militant man
and Isaac was peaceful. There is a
difference of opinion do -day. Same
would( uphold the man who would
fight for his rights like Ab'rablam.
Christ said "Cast not your pearls be-
fore hwine" whit in the speaker's op-
inion meant cast not your ideals be-
fore people who do not appreciate
tlaem. 1n the present conflict Great
(Britain has done right in taking: up
the sword, 1f an intruder entersthe
