Last Thursday afternoon Melville
Church auditorium was well filled,
as members and adherents gathered
to attend the induction of Rev. F. G.
Foevier, B.A., RD., late of 'Water-
ford, Penn., as the new pastor of
Melville Church.
Following a short session of the
Maitland Presbytery, the service was
conducted by Rev, Dr. Forbes, of
Teeswater, who preached ;the induc-
tion sermon, taking his text from
Luke, 10th Chapter, and 20th verse,
"Notwithstanding, in thie rejoice not,
that the spirits aro subject unto you,
but rather rejoice because your
names are written in heaven." Joy,
the speaker said, was one of the
largest ingredients in the cup; sor-
row may be turned into jay, and
grief may be followed by satisfac-
tion. Jesus Christ brought joy, but
it was a spiritual joy. There are
four' degrees of joy; (1) joy of Ser-
