Dr. Fletcher, Retiring Pastor 0x•, <Min Fletcher retires. :iter Successful Pastorate of Forty.Two 'Y'ears Occasion is Celebrated by Old Boys' Be-LUnion, and Presenta- tion to Retiring, Pastor of $1500. Some sixty-three or four years ago Rev. John Logie, minister of War- rensville, commenced to give occas- ional services to the few Presbyter- ians settled along the Thames Road, preaching in the old school house. About the same, time Rev. John Pot- heringham, of Hibbert, started to give services, to the Presbyterians in the district that is now called Kirk - ton. Under the fostering care of these pioneer ministers the stations prospered and soon proceeded to erect stone churches which the proud masons claimed would outlive the pyramids. The Kirkton stone church is still standing without a sign of im- pairment. The Thames Road church had to give way to the present fine structure that has replaced it. In 1864 the two stations were uni- ted into one charge. Soon after - DR. COLIN FLETCHER wards the Rev. Henry Graney, just' graduated from Knox College, was called and settled as their first min- ister. After a happy and fruitful pastorate of over thirteen years, Mr. Gracey was called to Gananoque, Where after a long ministry he now Rey. Mr. Foote, of Exeter.. The Cliu- ,ton male quartette rendered with good effect, several selections of choice music, while Mrs. Garnet Passmore delighted all with her reci- tations. On Wednesday evening the celebra- tion in the Kirkton church was a very happy and enjoyable sue.

Geo: Ratcliffe and Dr. Campbell. Music was furnished by the Kirkton .:Quartette. Refresh- ments were served at the close of the program. • One feature of .:great interest in connection with these- . celebrations was the scores. of letters of goodwill received from former members, and the regret was great that time would not permit of then being all read at the meetings { ' Another pleasing feature was 'the warm addresses presented by each congregation to Dr. Fletcher, with cheques amounting to $1500.00 The addresses were as follows: To Rev. Colin, Fletcher,-D.D. Dear Dr. Fletcher,— At the close of your pastorate of forty-two years we, the Thames Road congregation desire to express to you our gratitude for all you have been to us and for all you . have accom- plished in the service of Him, whose we are and whom we serve. When you were called to become our pastor, you ,were a young inan just out of college, entering on your great tidork, and your whole minis- teriai.life has been spent as the pas- tor of the Thames Road and Kirkton congregations. .Many changes . have taken place during these years. When you came there were those whose heads were already hoary with old age. You ministered to these in the evening of their life until their sun set, and they entered into the life that remains for a. VitVattAtelaigigait PRESTERIAN CHURCH Mrs. (Dr:) J, G'. Scott, of Seaforth, died on Nov. 24th, at the age of 68: years and 8 months. About five weeks ago the deceased fractured her hip in a fall and the shock was too great for her. Mrs. Scott was a daughter of the late Henry Rath who did much of the early surveying in Perth and Huron Counties. •.She resided for many years with her fam- ily on the Huron Road near Mitchell. About fifty years ago she was mar- ried in Wingham to Dr. Scott and went to Seaforth to reside. Besides her hushand site is survived by one son, Mr H. R. Scott. Harold Showers and James Show- ers, two young men of Wingham, were up before Judge Dickson of 1 Goderich last week on a charge of perjury in connection with a recent liquor case. They pleaded guilty. His Honor gave thein a severe lec- ture pointing out the seriousness of the crime. A petition had been pre- sented with a Iarge number of signa- tures of Wingham people, asking for leniency for the young men, and in consideration of this His Honor made the sentence 24 hours in jail and a fine of. $388.45, including costs. They were also required to secure a bond of $1,000 tor good behaviour for twa. years. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan McGregor, of .Itippen, celebrated their golden wedding at the home 01 their son Jolter. Fifty years ago they were harried by the Itev. Wm. Graham, o Egntoudville, and went to live on the groaxn;s farin on the 10th con. o; Tnckersmith.

Nov. 21L_24 was choaeli as the dates. For the Sun- day services' two 'ot'the bid,'8bys 'of the congregation, Dr Turnbull and Dr. Ramsay preached in both church es very able and most appropriate sermons. While this charge has had but two ministers, over a score of ministershave gone from its fold. On Monday evening at Thames Road a sumptuous banquet of fowl, pie, cake, etc., was served to a large crowd. of happy. people. Dr. Ratcliffe of St. Catharines, Mr. Fletcher's room -mate at college, made an effl- tient chairman, Felicitous addres- ses were given by Drs. Turnbull and Ramsay, and Rev.

These have nearly all gone too, until there are in the congregation to -day only tart couples and seventeen.inem- bers who were on the Communion. Roll and signed the call extended to you. Others were then in the bloom' of youth, and the full vigor of man- hood and womanhood. Of these1 all who retnain are now classed as aged, and two and three generations have cone into being on whose shoul- ders the burden now rests, or will in the days to come. Four years ago you sustained , a great loss, which was our loss too, when your help -mate, our greatly be- loved• pastor's wife, who came to us as a.bride,.was called, from the sera vice here tothe higher service above. Equally faithful and efficient she gaveherself unstintix}gly to the work which was ,so dear to her The work of a Christian minister can never be. expressed, in figures, nor be judged by the standards with which other work is measured, nor be pointed to, other than as the .Apostle did, when he said; "Ye are my epistles, known and read of all men." Only He 'whose ali-seeing eye takes knowledge., of all things, and who can adequately reward can es- timate aright the work done. But we all know enough to be able to say that your influence, not only in these congregations, but in. tie whole community, has been great, up- lifting and helpful in every worthy cause, and so fully andgenerally has this been recognized and given ex- pression to, not only by those with whom you have been most closely associated, but in larger circles as well, your Alma Mater, Knox College conferred on you the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity; your Church in whose service you have spent your life, called you to its highest post, that of Moderator of the General As- sembly, and during these years many young men who had grown up under your ministry, dedicated their lives to this sacred service. But the flight of years, whose course none. can stay, has brought you to the point' at which, because of failing faculties and weakening. strength, you have asked that young- er and stronger shoulders bear the buiiden of the pastorate here, and yielding to your wishes the pastoral tie has been loosed, but friendships sacred tie, when in the Lord, can never be broken, for your many manly qualities of both head and heart have endeared you to us all, old and young alike We ask you to accept the enclosed cheque as a tangible token of our af- fections for you, and appreciation of your services, praying that the even- ing of life may be long and happy until your "work of faith" labor of love and patience of hope completed, you are welcomed home by the great Head of the ' Church ana crowned with the Master's' "Well done good and faithful servant's. To Rev, Colin Fletcher, D.D. Dear Dr. Fletcher, For almost forty-two years, we the Kirkton congregation have been privileged to enjoy your ministry. During this long peri�d nany`and great are the changes that have tak- en place, Of those who signed the, call extended to you very few re- main. The aged have been called to take part • in the sacred service in the upper sanctuary, Those who tverr eh ' t e i r young, are now the aged, and those tris whose shoulders the congregational responsibility now rests,have,since you became our pas- tor, come into life, and from your hand the water of baptism has fallen on their heads, whilst many of the heads of homes were by you united in marriage. The bonds that have 'been woven between us as pastor and people have grown stronger with the passing years, until you. have become a veri- table brother to the aged, and a be- loved father , to the .. children, .and whilst' the .relationship :begun' forty- two''years ago;: is no longer to •con- tinue,'the bond•of friendship will per- sist, not only through time, but for all eternity r' You' have ministered to us in sac- red things — You have as a true prophet speaking in thenameof God broken to us the Bread of Life. You have been with us when days were dark and dreary. You have. entered whole hear. tedly into the more- Tight - some side• of life in the social circle especially in our homes and in the naive: of Hiin, whose we' are, and whom we serve. You have led us in the*great work to which the Master gave Himself, and in which He has called ns to he co-workers with Him. But time, whose effects upon us none can prevent, has led you to desire that the burden of responsi- bility be handed over to someone. whose ministerial life work Is in the main before him, and we have been rotnnelied, however unwillingly, to acnttiesce. • But we cannot let you go without giving expression to our gratitude to you for all you have been to us, and tho assurance of our continued' inter- est in you and affection for you, asking you to accept the enclosed cheque as a token of these, and pray- ing' God's best blessing ever to rest upon you, until the work done the Master pronounces it '.`well. done" Wm L, Ratcliffe, Clerk of Session Wm, Yule, Secy. tf.yojx, ktirw, tb.:t Yen: have Your honest 'heat, the world nark you clown a failttre, but ,yoursolk know better ,done May you Children Cry for Fletcher's Fletcher's Castoria is strictly a remedy for Infants. and Children.
