INDUCTION OF REV. J. J. HASTIE
Into the Pastorate of Knox Church, Belgrave, and Calvin,
East Wawanosh,
A VERY INT€RESTING SERVICE.

noel), as suoosesor to Rev. Mr. Hail who
resigned the charge last January after a
pastorate of 5t years and is now located
at Arthur.
Rev, Mr. Maxwell, of Ripley, occupied
the pulpit, the service commencing ab
8.30. o'olook. The text chosen was
Deuteronomy 32nd chapter and 89th
verse, "I kill and I make alive. In
opening up the subject he referred to the
power of earthly judges,the power pie•
missed by the early disciples of Josue,
and the almighty power of God. This
latter power was manifested (1) In Ore-
ation ; (2) In Redemption ; (3) In Judg-
ment. It was power conoentrated to
either kill or make alive. The power of
God to destroy was illustrated in the
Flood ; the destruotion of the Egyptian.
host et the Red Sea ; and Death. God's
power to save was encouragingly present-
ed in the oase of Peter, Paul, Jno. 13.
Gough and in every sinner brought to
God through Chrieb. The speaker eon.
eluded a brief, well pointed and heart
touching discourse by reference to God's
power to keep.
Rev. D. Perrie, the well known pastor
of Wingham, then took charge of the
'service and calling upon:Mr. Hestia asked
him the customary questions. These be.
ing satiofaotorily answered, prayer was
offered and the new pastor ordained and
inducted into the charge.
Following this came the address to the
new minister which was delivered by
Rev. Jim. Ross, B. A., of Brussels, in
his characteristic crisp, practical style.
He said, in part :—Thio was a day of
great interest to both the congregation
and the pastor and was an event looked
forward to for years possibly by the lat-
ter, viz., the induction into a charge.
Take care of your bodily health. Sea
well to intellectual growth. Read widely,
thoroughly and deeply so ae to avoid in-
tellectual stagnation. Guard carefully
your hours of study. Care well for your
spiritual life. Nothing will tell like 'hie
for fruitfulness and happineeo. Drink of
the great stream of Divine Grace. There
is the vineyard of your own soul as well
as that of the congregation. Preach the
Word. It requires study but the Bible
is the storehouse, there we get God's
thoughts and sermons should be got out
of the Bible. It should be studied dill -
gently and prayerfully and the Truth
made very plain. Preach it earnestly,
dependently and confidently. Carefully
tend the flock as P q stir. Get acquainted
a
with both old and young and visit the
sick, the aged and the burdened as this
acquaintance will greatly aid you in
preaching and the people in hearing.
A.11 of these people will meet you at the
judgment so it behooves devotion, earnest-
ness and leadership on the part of their
pastor.
Rev. Mr. Whaley, of St. Helens, ad.
dressed the people, both congregations be-
ing represented. The reverend gentle-
man does not beat around the bush and
starting out with the Sculpture' injuno-
tion "Be ye kind one to the other, tto.,"
he showed that a kindly spirit was one
of the initial essentials. This is a new
start so there is no past to go back to.
"Touch not Mine anointed" were words
pronounced in God's book. The preacher
10 not your hired man you pay him with
God's money loaned to you. He is not
a eooial dummy nor lie he a retailer
of last year'e almanac. Don't harass
him by insinuation ; don't worry him
by carping oribioiem ; don't let the baby
just out of long clothes criticise his sea.
moue ; don't crush him with burdens
and etoriee about your fellow men ; don't
tell him of their meanness and failures ;
don't apply his sermons to somebody else
as they may possibly fit you better than
your neighbor. Hold up his hande ;
stand by him in temporal affairs ; stand
by him by your presence at church ser-
vices ; give true preparation at the home
before coming to service ; be oxpeotant ;
live the Godly life and faithfully discharge
your etewardahip.
Before Rev. Mr. Hestia was oonduoted
to the door to be introduced to the mem•
bere of the respective congregations cow
stituting bie new charge Mr. Campbell,

were with them for a future of peace,

Atter hearty handebaking between
pastor and people the very interesting
exeroisee of the afternoon were brought
to a oonolueion.
The ladies had prepared an elegant sup,
per in the basement and the tables were
frequently filled before the large company
was served.
A crowded auditorium was the order
for the evening gathering. Rev. Mr.
Whaley presided and alter the devotional
exercises palled upon the following talent
innonneotion with the enjoyable program
presented :—Solo, "The Holy City,"

ter edged in black," Mies Crooke ; ad.

pleasure at again meeting Revds. Ross
and Perrie whom he had heard in their
student days. He was grateful for the
cordial reception tendered him and be-
lieved his settlement at Belgrave was a
real pall from God. He had no thought
of ever being the pastor ae he purposed
responding to the request of Rev. Dr.
Paton and return to the mission field.
He came, however, with one purpose,
viz to work for God and the people and
he laid his services upon the altar and
was not afraid of being used any way
but well. Thanks were returned to the
Moderator for the ability displayed in the
performance of hie duties. The neoe6•
eity of unity in work between pastor and
people was referred to and he asked the
help of the youth and the older people.
Rev. Mr. Heaths concluded after thank-
ing Rev. Mr. Brown for hie words
of weloome. The new pastor acquitted
himself fret-olasa and will no doubt
get along well with his congregations
as the call was unanimous for
him. The quartette "Nearer Jesus" was
rendered by Misses Somers and Stalker
and Messrs. Somers and Watson after
which the evening's prooeedings were
concluded with the the Doxology and
Benediction. The talent acquitted them-
selves in first-class style. Miss Gracie
Stuart was enable to give her second
number owing to her hoarsenese. A free
social was held on Friday evening.

Belgrave and Calvin is a very desirable
charge, with comfortable manes, good
churches, horse sheds, da., all free from
debt, and large congregations, with Sab-
bath schools and Endeavor Societies.
The new pastor ie to receive $860 stipend,
with a manse and will have four weeks'
holidays each year.
The business affairs of both congrega-
tions are carefully looked after by the
Board of Managers and the outlook is
very favorable for a aucoeseful pastorate
as harmony prevails and the cause is in
good heart.

congregation, whioh in one year worked
up and offered him $1,000 for the next
year. This was not aooepted but had
them planed on the footing of , a regular
self-supporting charge. The General
Agent for Home Missions then had him
sent to preach to the visitors at Sorrento
for six months. During timers six months
he was brought to the oity of Melbourne,
to speak in all the leading city charges on
the subject of Home Missions. From
Sorrento he was invited to be aeeietant;to

year. At the end of his term there he
went to Ormond College and took his

After dinner a large crowd visited the
Park filling ell the reserved seats and
lining up under the rows of poplars to es -
nape the scorching rays of Old Sol,
There must have been well up toward
2,000 people on the ground.
The first event was a Football match
between Blyth and Brussels Juniors but
the game lacked in interest shortly after
it commenced as it was quite evident the
visitors were not very deeply in it. Goal
after goal was eoored until the 4th was
kinked as the referee called time. The
teams were composed of the following
players :

P. Ferguson refereed the game with
satisfaction to both teams. Both clubs
worked hard during the hour's play and
some very nice combination was occas-
ionally put up.
Prof. Riley, called the Sing of the Air,
gave a performance on the high wire of
walking blindfolded, with a hoop around
his ankles, stood on his bead and hung
by hie feet. Following this name the
Darnella trio of aorobats in a series of
trapeze and ladder aots. The litttle
folks and not a few adults were amused
by the ventriloquism of Mr, Clarke. He
did his work very well and showed off
his "blookhead family" to good advan-
tage. He also gave an exhibition 'of
sword and walking omne swallowing and
oonoluded by a Punch and Judy cabinet
harangue.
During the afternoon performance let
basemen Graham, of the Wingham Base
hall team, contributed a solo from the
platform and did it very well.
The evening program mistreated about
as large an attendance ae the afternoon.
Everybody was pleased with the splendid
selections rendered by the Highlanders
and their choruses "Boys of the Old
Brigade," "We're a hundred Pipers," and
the Hunters' chorus were tip-top. Prof.
Riley oroseed the high wire with an
illuminated wheel, the Dernellas' repeat.

Clarke did likewise. Mr. Graham sang
two solos. The day WEB oon0luded
