gram over an adjournment was made to
the "upper sanctuary" when Elder
Thos. Straohan took the chair and the
congregation joined in singing "Bleat be
the tie that binds," after which prayer
wee offered. The chairman referred to
the happy relations existing between the
pastor and oougregacion ; to the able
manner in which Rev, Mr. Roes did his

couragement, development, admonition
and searching of heart and life. 2nd,
In your multifarious duties as paetor,
your visite to our homes have been wel-
come, helpful and faithful, and year in.

Church has prospered along floaaoial
Hues no small credit is due to your
methodical arrangement, prompt and
business -like management and the agree

Rev. Mr. Ross' reply wee oharaoteristio
of him. He thanked the people for what
be termed their too kind expressions.
The address set out the portrait of
what a faithful pastor should be but he
was afraid he fell far short of it. This
wee nob the first time his heart had been
gladdened by words of encouragement as
all through hie 20 year pastoral term
they had never been lacking. The splen-
did gifts would be tbenkfully received by
both Mre. Rosa and himself and would
be highly prized. Did not think Mrs.
Roes had an enemy in the oongregation
and was sure she felt most cordially to•
ward all. Their anxieties had often been
lightened and their way smoothed by
the faithful and lovingtnsnuer with which
the congregation had dealt with them,
He was not optimistic, but it was not
likely possible that his pastorate could
be lengthened to another 20 years, as
some one had said, bat ha believed as long
as (hay were associated together there
would be manifested the same good feel.
ing, in feat he would stay in no plans
where there was strife. Thereatness
of the work gives labor bo all both for
time and eternity. His heart was made
to rejoice by the feat given him by a rela-
tive, that bis feral service in Melville
ohuroh wag the means of pointing a per.
eon to the way of salvation, who is now
enjoying the everlasting rest, Xu oom.
ing to Brussels Chore seemed to be a
Peovidenoe in it, as be supplied for a
fellow student who wag taken ill. For
the time to Dome be would strive more
than ever to do his part faithfully—
would do his best, The oongregation
deearve the hest that Inn be given them.
He and Mrs. Rose would alwaya cherish
their hind words and expreagioue.!
Rev. David Forrest, of Walton, spoke
briefly, owing to a throat trouble. He
congratulated the pastor, and oougrega•
tion on this 200) annivoreary and the
address and preeentation. Thought a
long pastorate the proper thing and
rendered more blessed by the harmony
existing. Mr. Forrest wiebod all oon-
asrnad success,
The next speaker was Jae. Irwin, who
complimented the people on their Area.
entetion, The address woe marred in ite
reference to Rev, Mr. hose' olear.out-
style of preaching tie he remembered a
sermon preached by him at Atwood quite
a few years ago on "Tbe Burning Buhl'
A quartette, "The Nouse of Prayer,"
wee well rendered by Misses Lyda Crooks
and Minnie Stewart and A. Straohan
and J, H. Cameron. T. A. ilawkins
presided et the organ.
W. H. Kerr, of The POST, said a few
things, after which hymn 237 was sung.
The closing address fell to the lot of
Eider Stewart who reooanted hie exper-
iences with Melville church for a good
many years and gave their preeeot pastor
a full meed of praise for bis excellent work
both in and out of the pulpit. Thought
the addreea quite oorreot and it might
have gone further. Advised the Genera.
Kation to be faitbfrtl to their duties and
thereby aid the pastor in the extension of
the work. The Benediction was pro.
nounoed by Rev. Mr. Ross, bringing to a
oloee a moat enjoyable and long to be re•
membered occasion. Melville ohuroh
has set a worthy example that many
another congregation might oupy with
pleasure orad profit. Both the pastor and
the congregation are to be heartily eon-
gratulated over the 20th anniversary.
