Rev, D. Perrte's Induction of anecdotes, one of which he slips
and Reoeption.
(From the CLesley Enterprise,)
in whenever an opportunity oilers,
He made a neat and appropriate in•
troduetory address, after wbioh the
oboir tsab called on for a selection of.
Weather somewhat unpropitious Ihnsle• Mr. Portio was then pre -
and roads exceedingly bad did not rented with the address which wee
resent the numbers and adherents • rend by P. D. Bitchie, Principal o(,
of Geneva church, Oheeley, from
turning oat to large numbers on
Tuesday last to witness tbo induction
of the Rev. Mr. Perris as their pas-
tor, and to take part in his reception.
Two o'clock was the hour fixed for
the induction services to begin, but
considerably before that hour the
pews began filling up, aud, with
those who arrived later, the oburoh
was packed to the doors. The Rev.
Mr. MoKenzie, of Tara, Moderator
of the session, oondnoted the eerviees
throughout, and himself preached an
excellent and carefully prepared ser-
mon, from the 22nd verse of the 6th
ehapter of Romans. On the plat-
form and in the seats near by were
a number of other ministers, among
whom we noticed the Reve. Mr, Duff,
of Malcolm ; Mr. Johneton, of Pais.
ley ; Mr. Moore, of Allenford ; Mr.
Patterson, of Hanover, besides the
local mioietere of other denomina-
tions. After the sermon was con-
cluded the Moderator proceeded to
narrate the various steps wbioh had
been taken, leading up to this in-
duction, all of which are so well
known to our readers that a recapit
Illation of them here is unnecessary.
The oandidet° for induction was
then asked to come to the front,
when a number of questions touch-
ing his doctrinal beliefs, his object
in entering the ministry, and such
like, were put to him, to all of which
he gave satisfactory replies, and was
allowed to resume his seat. He was
then addressed by the Rev. Mr. Duff,
who, in a most earnest and impres-
sive discourse, endeavored, as he
said himself, 'to stir up hie mind by
way of remembrance,' pointing out
to him the importance of the position
which he that day had assumed, and
the grave responsibilities wbioh, as
a minister, rested upon him. IbEr.
Duff was followed by Dir. Patterson,
who briefly addressed the congrega•
tion on the necessity of keeping holy
the Sabbath, and the growing tend
army to neglect this command. The
benediction was pronounced, the
-meeting dismissed and Mr. Perrie
conducted to the door of the church
to be introduced to the members as
they went out.
THE RECEPTI°N BANQUET.
Unfortunately our space is too
limited to do justice to any phase
.of this subject. A whole column
might be written on the reception
alone, and then half remain untold.
The reception to the reverend gentle•
man was conceived in e. broad and
liberal spirit, and certainly there was
-nothing niggardly in the manner in
which it was carried out. Nothing
could better display the strength and
reserve force of this congregation
than the manner in which they care
tied through this part of the program
•of the reception. Relying on their
ability to entertain all who might
come, oarde of invitation were sent
to all the members and adherents
of the congregation, as well as to
large numbers from the congrega•
tions of other denomicatione. Com
mittees were struck and. everybody
interested set to work. The Town
Hall was secured, the seats removed,
tables erected and the walls most
elaborately and artistically decorated
with evergreens, mottos and draping.
If tits part of the wort was, for the
most part, done by residents of the
Tillage, the country members nobly
bore their part in the matter of imp-
lying the victuals. Baskets of pro-
visions were brougkt in literally by
the wagon loads, and when these
were unpacked and epread out on
the tables the eight was one calm -
kited to ravish the soul of the most
eonfirmed dyspeptic. There was
roast fowl in abundance, two or three
different kinds of sandwiches, pies
and tarts of every description, and
rakes of every make end shape, in
endless variety. Then there were
mellow apples and luscious grapes,
and bowls of sugar, and big pitchers
of thick, sweet cream, and lots of tea
and coffee, all to be had without
money and without price. More
/than 1100 hungry gueste sat down to
this gorgeous repast and, though it
may be assumed that there was no
shirking of duty, the pile of eatables
was scarcely dlmiutehed, and at the
limo of writing there lies up in the
Towu Hall a betero%eneous mase of
remnants, upon whish the Sunday
school children ere to night to make
a concertel attack,
the Pablo school, The addresa,was
well written, quite lengthy, and ap•
pareutly based on the assumption
that Mr. Perrio is a specimen of
humanity only a little lower than
the angels. The following is it copy
of the address;
To firv, David Prr,'b Pastor of Geneve
Church, Cheste;f
BELOVED SIB,—While in the mysterious
workings of Providence our late beloved
pastor, with his high attainments and
endearing virtues, has been called away
from his sphere of usefulness, leaving be-
hind him a monument more beautiful
than marble and more enduring than
adamant, and which will stand unhurt
when the world's last sob of dissolution
is hushed ill eileome, you, sir, have been
chosen as hie successor to bear the ensign
of the Cross, to wield the sword of the
Spirit and to wave the flag on high in
the fade of the great foe of mankind.
In welcoming you to this noble and hon.
ored position we feel that the soeptre has
not passed from the tribe of Judah, but
that our Israel has fallen into the hands
of one fully consecrated to the Christian
ministry, one who is willing under all
circumstances to do battle for the Lord
of Hosts, one whose highest ambition is
to rescue souls from death and to gain
immortal reward. We welcome yon Ile
our pastor, inasmuch as we have learned
with joy of your superior qualifications,
your self-denying and devoted work, the
lofty impulses which actuated you in
seeking not your own glory but the wel-
fare of the flock over whom you had the
spiritual oversight—a flock, moreover,
bathed in tears by reason of the reoent
separation of the pastoral union, and,
while we rejoice in the sincerity of our
salutation, we pledge our cordial sym-
pathy and earnest oo-operation in the
discharge of the duties and responsibilit-
ies incumbent upon you by virtue of the
pastoral union this day so solemnly con-
summated with Geneva Church in this
place. We welcome you and your part-
ner in life, Mrs. Perrie, in the name of
the blessed Master, whose blessings and
mercies have been vouchsafed to us under
the instrumentality of him whose voice
is now hushed in death, and we trust that
under your ministry, actuated, moved
and guided by an unerring Power, and
supported by a people loyal to the doc-
trines baptized with the blood of our
forefathers, a people desirous to promote
the glory of the Redeemer, even a larger
measure of heavenly grace will be be-
stowed on us by the bountiful giver of all
things ; that Christian love may be
stamped on all the flock, and that unity,
harmony and goodwill may characterize
all in their efforts to promote the welfare
of Zion, for
"Soon will the Bridegroom come,
His bride from earth to call,
We, glorified, with Him shall reign,
Till God be all in all."

Mr. Perrio'° reply was short and
to the point. The Misses Cairns, of
Ohesley, were then called on for a
duet`, whiob they rendered in ex-
cellent style. After au address by
bir. Duff, solos were sung by B. S.
Hammiil and Mise Suicide, both of
whom acquitted themselves very
creditably. Addresses were also de
livered by the Rev. bir. Moore, of
Allenford ; Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of
Stratford ; Rev. Mr. Patterson, of
Hanover ; Rev. bit. Johnston, of
Paisley; Rev. Mr. McKenzie, of Tara;
Rev. Mr. Rainy, of Obesley ; Rev.
Mr. Moss, of Chesley, and A. S.

dresses were all very good, and some
of them exceptionally so. Inter•

So far as known, mesrechum is
found in no other part of the world
than the pretty little village of .Belt•

component parts of meerschum are
said to be magnesia, silex and flint,
and sometimes traces of iron, earth
and other minerals are found in it.
Once upon a time it was death to
the Christians to go near the mines,
which go under ground some thirty
feet, and are aired aud kept dry by
a windmill. The Turks do not be•
lieve in reproduction nor in flooding
the market, and the prices never
come down, but generally have an
upward tendency whenever the goy.

funds, for the greatest expense in
mining the production, is tbo taxes
of the government. The indolent
natives mine for a couple of hours
or so and then lie off in the sun with
their coffee and tohacoo. With a
knife they scrape off the earth from
the lump of meereebum ; then they
lake the oily loaf of a tree which
grows in the vicinity and rub the
lump smooth and give it something
of a polish, In this condition it Is

To plant an orchard and then to
allow oattle to browse the trees ; to
leave vacant places in a young
orchard ; to allow a young orchard
to remain in grass.
Itis reckless to buy trace of an
utter stranger ; also, groceries,
spices and snob articles as can be
easily adulterated. Nine times out
of ten one will be cheated by so
doing.
To wade through mud to the
barn and outbuildings when good
dry paths can so easily be made.
To pay heavy doctor's bills for
wife and children because their feet
became wet through laok of good
paths.
To have uo garden and to buy
stale vegetables of a huckster. It
is nearly as had to have a miserable
little garden, which the good wife
and her girl painfully weed, and
secure a few stunted vegetables,
when large crops could be had with
little trouble, if the garden were
cultivated by horsepower.
