health prevented, and Ms example had
been most healthful to the school in
general.
The chairman also expressed his sorrow
at having to part with Mr. Holmes, having
been closely easoofated with him in the
work here, he had learned to love him
dearly, and amid not apeak too highly of
him. He could only join with the other
speakers in wishing him Godspeed in his
new home.
The following address was then read
and presented to Mr. Holmes by Miss
Jessie Plater, and was accompanied by a
well-filled purse, presented by Defies May
Boll :
Thos, Coabsworth, sr„ the first speaker,
expressed deep regret at the departure of
Rev. Mr. Holmes, Ile felt that the
church here was losing a devoted and
earnest pastor, whose groat aim had been,
during his sojourn here, to win souls for
Christ. He expressed himself as having
been wonderfully blessed daring lir
Jas. Pegg, in a few brief, pointed re•
marks, expressed himself fu much the
earns manner.
David Beard said that he was thankful
for the services that Mr. Helmer had
rendered the church and the cause of
Christ, particularly for the great benefit
Ile had himself received. Ile felt that he
was a better Methodist from having
known him, and believed that Christ's
kingdom on earth had been much ad•
vanaed through hie efforts. The speaker
thought the oburoh here would sustain a
severe loss ; but that Blenheim's loss
would be Brussels' gain.
On behalf of the Trustee Board, the
secretary, Geo. M. Baird, said that not
only had the spiritual interests of the
church been advanced during the present
pastorate, but the financial interests as
well. The mortgage debt of the church
had been reduced, all floating debts paid,
and matters were now in a flourishing
condition. He could not speak too highly
of Mr. Holmes' abilities both ae a preacher
and a fivanmer. When Mr. Holmes
name here, four years ago, the mortgage
debt of the church was over $5,000, and
there was also a looting debt of $180.
Thanks largely to his generous efforts the
floating debts were all paid, and the
mortgage debt had been reduced about
$1800.
James Shaver, the President of the
League, on behalf of that Society, said
that all the young people would feel
deeply grieved et haviug to part with M.
Holmes. He had been untiring in his ef-
forts to assist the work of the Society,
and was ever ready with a helping hand
and sympathetic heart to render any
needed service and had endeared himself
to the hearts of all.
J. J. Cooksou, for over twenty years an
active worker in the Sunday school as
well as in the church, said that the school
would lose in Mr. Holmes one of the
most earnest and devoted workers it had
ever known since his connection with it.
The Bible class had increased in atten-
dance, and he believed =oh good had
been done. As Bible olass teacher, Mr
George, Listowel • and Jnoa Brawn,
Wroxeter. The latter fell on the second
lap and the first heat was awarded to
Kaake, George being 2nd, and Fortier
3rd. .Brawn captured 'Apiece in three
successive heals, George holding 2nd
place and Iiaake a 31d. Best time 1.02
It was a very close finish in a couple of
instances but Brawn had the necessary
apeod to carry Mtn to the front.
The foot ball match between Listowel
and Wingham teams was a well contested
event and was anybody's game until the
close. Listowel won a goal toward the
close of half time and the expectation was
that Wingham would more than even up
