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- vice; (2) Joy of the Redeemed; (3) Joy of acceptance a God's will and (4) Joy of Jesus Christ, Dr., Forbes handled the tubject well. Following the closing of this part of the service, Rev. Dr. Perrie, Mod- erator narrated the steps leading up to the, call, and then invited Rev Mr, Fowler to come forward, after which the usual queetions were put to the new pastor. The Moderator offered the dedicatory prayer and inducted Rev, Mr. Fowler into tho paetoral charge of Melville congregation. Thc members of Presbytery gave the right hand of fellowship. Rev. Dr, James, of South Kinloso, addressed the new minister, and quoted the different names that the Lord had callel his disciples: a Her- ald, Imperial messenger, Imperial authority, Evangelise Ambassador, Conversationalist, the Man of God Preacher. He urged the new minis- ter to give his best, the work was needed in th world to -day, and there was a big field in Brussels for a min- ister. Rev. Mr. McDonald, of Lucknow, addressed the congregation and gave many pointers to the church mem.: bers to think over, and urged their co-operation in all the various bran- ches of the church work. ' Rev. Dr. Forbes pronounced the benediCtion. The new minister was conducted to the front door by Eld. ere, W. Yuill and A. Stewart, and was' introduced to the people, receiv- ing many to hearty handshake and welcome to his new charge. Letters of greeting and good wishes were read from two former ministers of the congregation, Rev. A. C. Wishart, of Los Angeles, Cal, and from Rev. Dr, John Ross, of Toronto, who, for 80 yeare, was pas- tor. The Ladies' Aid served lunch in the basement, of the church and shortly afterwards De.
