WAS 001d an audience of from 400 to
500 useembied Sabbath afternoon.
The energetic pastor, Rev. R. A.
Lindy, was ubly assisted by Rev. 3.
Robertson, B. D., of Toronto, who
will be long remembered by the up
prepriateness and excellency, of bis
serumons. He discoursed in the
afternoon on "The institutions that
(Hake for life and chxl'aete'" and his
applications were most practical.
Hiss Mysia Graydon, of Streetsville,
sang in excellent voice, "Open the
gates of the Temple" and "Happy
Day." Hersinging was a great treat.
At the evening service a large con
gregation assembled and the service
was full of interest, Rev. Mr. Robert-
son's text was "Rave fervent charity"'
and was full' of rich thins. The
church choir did their art in
4 p 1 a most
excellent manner and deserve the
high appreciation they enjoy. In
clition to their number Miss Gray-
don, - contributed "The Heavenly
Song" and did it well. The pastor
spoke words of good cheer before the
meeting was dismissed.
The offering for the day totalled the
very respectable;snm of $142.
THE NEW CHURCH
Moncrieff has good reason to be
proud of their fine modern and emu -
Portable edifice. Its dimensions', are
36 X50 feet, with a well finished base -
meat fitted up for Sabbath School
purposes and other social meetings.
Building Is well lighted and heated
and has an imposing look with its
neat tower. Contractor Eizerman,
of Mitchell, did a fine job and is to be
complimented on his success. The
church cost about $5000 but nearly
$1000 of this was done by volunteer
help as evidence of the heartiness dis-
played toward the project. Old
church eats sold to Joseph McKay,
who will remove it to his farm, Cont-
fortable cement horse sheds were
built and the only fault to be found
with thein is their inadequacy to sup-
ply the neceasal y accommodation for
the horses belongingtothe,worship»

MONDAY NIGIIT'S TEA MEETING
There was a bumper -crowd on hand
at the Tea Meeting Monday evening.
A splendid spread was provided in the
basement by the ladies and if the sup-
ply had not been most generous they
would have run
short before be o e the.
throngs of
people
were waited g P e upon.

The value ue of the basement oat was made
apparent in the serving of the excel-
lent,
supper. Chciee, well rendered.
and soulful was the long and varied
program giveu in the auditorium over
which Rev. Mr. Lundy . presided. To
say that all did well is putting a mild
interpretation on the production of
such a musical and literary bill of fare.
It consisted of the following :—Open-
ing
Open-
iugg hymn. by choir and congregation ;
sole(, "Loch Lomond," bliss Beatrice
Whitfield; R. McDonald, solo, "Island
of Dreams" ; duets, "When ye gang
awe Jamie" and "Silver threads
among the gold," Miss,Beatrice Whit-
field and Mr. McDonald • solos, "The
song of Heaven and the 'Home Land"
and "Tired" by Miss Florence Whit-
field ; Walton Quartette, "Profundo
Basso" and "Lead Kindly Light ;
solos, by Miss Graydon were entitled.
"At/Die-Lamle," "Don't you love those
eyes that comes from Ireland ('a.;"
"i'ierd", and "My ain folk" ; Miss
Murray, of Shakespeare, did her part
in first' class style in her elocutionary
numbers and will be welcome back.
Rev. D. Wren, 111. A" of Ethel, gave
a well timed address "The mission and
power of the church." The flnaneia8
pr'oeeeda were $185.00 and with the
Sabbath offering totalled $327.00, a
terry 8atisfalet01 y showing. Mrs. (Dr.)
Kidd, of Atwood, anti Mr. Nilson, of
Munkton,, were unable to be present,
the former suffering from a cold and
the latter called away from home by
the sickness of a relative. Both aro
expected next Monday evening.
Judging by the size and contents of
the baskets brought,' the Moncrieff
ladies evidently, expected that there
had been a famine in the localities
where many attending were coming
from.
