which was printed in embossed letters
and beautifully framed, was read by
Robt. McCrea and , presented by R.
Proctor :-
Rev. W. H. Hilmar :-
Dear Renter, -We realize that today we as a
Congregation and you as our beloved Rester
have come to the parting of the ways and we
desire to whitely express from fall hearts
some things regarding our happy relations
dprtng the peat 4K years. Your almostun-
brokenrecord coining to Trinity church, Bel -
grave. in storm or shine, .for the Sabbath
aervlces ;. your Blear out, richly stored, prac-
tical expositions of the Truth (with special
emphasis on the Memorial Service to Kine
Edward. V11) have grown better as the weeks
went by ; -the devotion to your laborious
duties as pastor ; unwavering manliness,
brotherliness and cordiality, making smooth
paths for the Wardens in financing the buei-
nese of the congregation, are among a few of
the noticeable features of your pastorate
which have greatly endeared you to tie and
from which we partwithno small reluctance.
We sincerely thank you for the deep interoab
you have always manifested in our eooial,.
moral end spiritual well-being and your name
will long be treasured in oar households Nor
would we overlook the kindness and hospital-
ity of your good wife,. who has so ably second•
ed our efforts on the Parish. She deservedly
holds a warm place in our affections.. Al-
though, perhaps oelflshly, we begrudge you
and alre. Hartley to any other charge wade-`
sire to assure you that no Rector and kis wife
ever moved awayenjoying the goodwill of
the community more than you two. While
sincerely regretting the severance we unite in
the prayer that the best blessing of our
Heavenly Father may rest upon you and your
work in the -years to come. We ask you to.
accept a framed copy of this address trusting
that It may often encourage you in your ser-
vice
ervice 1n the Master's vineyard and that when
your labors are ended that we 11107 ell meet in

BAeso BALL. The. "Maitlands,' of
Brussels, were here last Saturday oe-•
ening and played a game with the
diamond dusters of this place. Our
field is not a model one for hese ball
and a hard hit grounder is next an
impossibility to handle. Umpire 0.
Holmes called the game at 5.45, the
Maitlands going to bat. Runs were
made in almost every innings, a hit
no natter where it went was generally
safe. The visitors showed a general
all-round superiority but failed to their
acquaintance with the pasture. Ar-
thur Hawkshaw, who played for the
pi:altancls in the absence of 11. Good-
win, was a"special delight to the Bel -
grave damsels by his antics around 1st
base, The Maitlands should have no
excuse to make for their one -run de-
feat. The line-up was as follows :-
R. MVIT"RAY, Past Wardens,
HY, JORNeTON,
Belgrave, May 22nd, 1010.
1 ev. Mr. Hartley, although somewhat
taken by surprise, replied in a very
touching manner., 'He said he dould
reverse the'words of the address as be
thanked the people most sincerely for
their kindness towards himself and
Mrs. Hartley and said he was not
bidding farewell to them, as he- ex-
pected to come back and preach to
thein again some day and renew his
happy friendships of the past 4i years.
Anything that he had clone for the
welfare of the church in Belgrave
was God's doings with his help, and

were most hospitably entertained to an
elaborate banquet with musical accom
panimeut and after a look through fine
churches belonging to the Methodist, R.,
C. and Presbyterian bodies and a visit
to the splendid new Normal school- see'..
hied to the opera house where a brief •,?
program of toasts was most felicitiously
gone through and presentations' of
silverware and clocks made to Messrs.
MacDonald, Gorman and Black. zo.3o
p. m. Saturday saw our train steaming'
out of this bustling railway 'centre for
Toronto at which city we arrived at 7
a. m. Sunday after our delightful trip of,
480 miles to Cochrane tired but amazed at
the extent, beauty, wealth and pos-
sibilities et this glorious Province of
Ontario and fully convinced that the
half has never been told of the wonder-
ful Northland of which we propose to
refer in succeeding issues.
The old friendships renewed, new
friends met, the kaleidscopic change of
view along the route the hospitality and
good cheer evidenced to the party every
where comes back like a pleasant dream
to be lived over in the passing years as
one of the green spots in the journalistic
life. While many excellent addresses
and speeches were delivered at various
points the wit, wisdom and oracular
honors were well sustained by .the press
party,
Atnong the newspaper mea from Hur-
on Co, who availed themselves of the -
outing were editors W. D. McLean, of
Seaforth, ; Mr, Mitchell and J. L. Kerr,
of Cliuton, and W. 11. Kerr, of Brus-
sels. Former editors of the Blyth
Standard, Messrs: Watson and Bradwin,
were also abroad.
Sabbath morning we were pleased, in
attending the Metropolitan church, to
see Rev, Kenneth J. Beaton, whose
father is a well known resident of Clip
ton, in the pulpit. His discourse ou
Mission work in Toronto was earnest,
eloquent and practical.. In the evening
we listened to Evangelist Booth,';s0,n
of the great General Bcoth, He
preached a plain, lienrt reaching exposi-
tory sermon on "Paul's shipwreck, nn
Carleton ' street Methodist church, of
which Rev. IS, J, Treleaven, a former `;
Huron Co. boy, is the successful pastor.
As we were returning to our comfortable
quarters at the Prince George Hotel wo
noticed that the ice cream parl015 were
doing a thriving business in Toronto the

butcher stalls should get busy to trafiick

Ohurch morning and evening will be
conducted by a student from Huron

Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Small leave on •
Saturday for Halifax where Mr. Small
will attend the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian church. We wish
them an enjoyable time. Mr. Taylor,
of Knox College, will occupy the pul-
pit in St. Andrew's Church until Rev.
Mr. Small returns. M. Ba le
Pitcher Taman andBegley,
former residents of Blyth, now living
in Kincarduie, played no small part
in defeating Wingham at Brussels on
Tuesday. Mr. Begley injured one of
his fingers in the 1st innings but
played through the game. Tainan in
the box filled the bill.
While visiting in Liskeard, North-
ern Ontario, Thursday or last week,
we were greatly pleased to meet, with
Mrs. Ewing, formerly Miss Somers, of
Blyth. Her home is at Englehart,
but she was in Liskeard that day.
Many enquiries were made for rela-
tives and old friends at Blyth and
locality.

is
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week
well attended, interesting and most
practical sessions of the Canadian Press
Association were held in the audience
room of the King Edward Hotel, Tor-
onto, It was the 52nd annual gathering
of this important body at whose yearly
conferences topics of importance to the
craft, but of no small moment to the
business circles and the general pnblic
of this fair land, are freely discussed and
generally crowned with the success de-
sired or measurably so. There was a
large attendance and very instructive
discussions followed the introduction of
the varied subjects on the program.
J. F. McKay, of Toronto Globe, pre-
sided most capably, the President,
L. S. Channell, baying departed this
life last 'July, deeply regretted.. Annual
report was presented by J. R. Bone, of
the Toronto Star, the well-known and
hard working Secretary -Treasurer, of
the Association (and who by the way is
related to the Bone family of East.
Wawanosh township,) amply attested
that the Canadian Press Association is
not a decadent but a vital, popular in-
stitution able to give a good reason for
its existence, It has 361 members cash
receipts last year of 5758 0o from fees
and a balance of 5865. Initiation costs
53.0o stud annual ticket 52.00. During
the sessions the members divided along
the line of Daily and Weekly Journals
and in conferences dealt with many of
the puzzling questions often arising in
the routine of a year's work in the vari-
ous newspaper offices and he would be a
dull member who did not beueet by
these free chats. Among the subjects
were the disappointing libel law, rate
cards, premiums, value of Editoral, job
printing and its cast, half tone work,
prices for job work and advertising,
circulation, machine work, unfair postal
regulations, &c, &c. Our readers may
rest assured that the value of the news-
paper to the community at large was
not minimized. No small interest was
evoked by the attendance of- Colonel
Watterson, an old and distinguished
journalist, of Louisville, Kentucky,
Editor of the Courier -Journal, who most
interestingly discussed "Modern Journal-
ism" with the craft Tuesday afternoon.
In his clear-headed, optimistic manner he
showed that if the pen is to be mighter
than the sword it must be wielded with
firmness, kindness, activity and a broad
horizon, Our American cousin was en
tertained at a luncheon afterward.
Another veteran visitor was Sir McKee
zie Rowell, although up in the eighties,
is a highly respected and always welcome
visitor and member of the Association,
He commenced his newspaper experi-
ence in 183s. Deeply impressive and
regretful were the resolutions and ad.
dresses besring on the decease of King
Edward VII sed Ole members of the
Association who had fallen during the
past year. The press banquet arranged
