Bluevale Church
Opening.
Interesting Opening Services.
Sunday and Monday were eventful
days in the . history of the Bluevale
Presbyterian church when the opening
services and ceremonies in connection
with the new church building took
place. The work ot preparation bad
been going on tor many months and
the last stroke was not over until a late
hour on Saturday night, but the labor
was rewarded by the result and many
comments on the pleasing appearance
and comfort of the edifice were beard.
The church was packed by large con-
gregations at all three of the Sunday
services,
Rev. W. A. J. Martin, of Zion
Church, Branttord, was the speaker at
the morning and evening services. He
made a very pleasing impression by his
fine presence, good delivery, intelligent
expression and the practloal nature of
his discourses. Elis .mooing subject
was "The Dedication of the Church to
the'service of God," He reminded his
hearers that the building of the church
wee for one purpose -the glory of God
-and no other aim should be theirs in
its dedication.
The afternoou service was oouducted
by Rev. A. C, Wishart, B. A., of Mel-
ville church, Brussels, Mr, Wishart is
a forceful speaker. His theme was
"The shortness of life and the certain•
ty of death." lie pointed out the
necessity of activity and usefulness
during the short span of life alotted to
u s,
In the evening Rev, Mr, Martin
spoke on "Our duty to the nations
which are in peed of the Gospel," us-
ing the'story of Christ feeding the mul-
titude, He made a powerful plea for
Home and Foreign Mission work.
'The church choir did excellent ser-
vice at the three' meetings. Miss Jessie
Moffatt is the organist.
The collections 'during. the day
amounted to 5145.00.
THE. SUPPER,

eter ; Radford, Belmore ; Hastie, Bel -
grave ; and Judge Hutchinson, of
Sherbrooke, Quebec, a former resident
of Bluevale, who had returned to his
old home to honor the occasion by his
presence. At the beginning of the pro-
gram the Chairman gave the history of
the building of the new church, No
small part of the success.of the work,
it should be said, is due to his own de-
votion and energy. The speakers all
gave interesting and helpful addresses
bearing on the subjects of church and
congregation. The words of Judge
Hutchinson were listened to with deep
attention, He made a very pleasing
address, touching on the olden days ;
the pleasure of re -visiting the scenes of
his youtb, shaking the old hands, and
bearing the old voices ; and the value
of the church and school in the life of
the community. A fitting conclusion
to his remarks was hisreading of one
of Drummond's habitant p051118, "The
Olden 'Time.”
The choir of the church, assisted by
Miss Ferguson, Teeswater ; and D.
Strachan, Jamestown, rendered the
musical portion of the program. The
choir made a very favorable impression
in their several numbers. Miss Fergu-
son possesses a clear and true soprano
voice which she used with effect in her
tt,� merous selections, while one of the
talst popular numbers on the program
was Mr. Strachao's rendition of The
Land o' the Leal."
