REV. A. C. IVISHART R. A.,
REMOVES TO CALGARY
He Got A Fine Send -Off
Last Sabbath was the closing day
of Rev. A. O. Wishart's successful
pastorate of over 8 years in Melville
church and was marked with large
congregations and high tension servi-
ces. In the evening despite chair's in
the aisles the large edifice was not ade-
quate to accommodate the people and
was a fitting tribute to the departing
pastor.
The text chosen was Phil. 4-19, "My
God shall supply all your need accord-
ing to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus" and from it was given a strong
message brimming over with encour-
agement as the preacher unfolded the
scope of the promise ; the manner of
the giving ; and the chaunel through
which the supply was to come. In
PPy
his concluding sentences Rev. Mr.
Wishart thanked the congregation for
their loyalty and kindness. His pas-
torate had been one of great pleasure
to himself and he urged all to be busy
in the Lor'd's vineyard. In addition
to a well sung anthem, a male quar-
tette was rendered by Messrs. Eckmier
Rutherford, Strachan and Fox and
one verse of "God be with you till we
meet again," was given after the Bene-
diction.
FAREWELL SOCIAL
Monday evening a social gathering
was held in the church which was well
attended. After an excellent supper
had been served in the basement Jas.
Bowman, M. P., took the chair and a
program of addresses and presenta-
tions followed the chairman's intro-
ductory remarks, an anthem by the
choir and prayer by Rev. Mr. Lundy,
of 4Vaitou.
Thos. Armstrong,Secretary of the
Sunday School was a
called upon to read
an address to Rev. Mr. Wishart and
the presentations consisting of a gold
headed silk umbrella and a sheaf of
chrysan themums were made by Elston
Moore and little Miss Nora McDowell.
Address was as follows
REP. A. C. WISHART, B. A.,
DEAR MR. WISHART,-As pupils,
teachers and officers of Melville
church Sabbath School we realize,
with keenest regret, that our hallowed
associations with you as co-workers
must soon be severed. Your ministra-
tions as our revered pastor have so en-
dearedou to us that our thoughts of
you in this regard will always bmost
pleasant memories ; but much as we
deplore your departure as out pastor,
our sense of loss is doubly great when
we consider that our Sabbath School
also will be deprived of a most efficient
and gifted Superintendent. During
the time you have acted as our super-
visor, we have learned to appreciate
highly the privilege we enjoyed of
laboring together in the Master's great
vineyard. Moreover we have profited
immeasurably by the high standard
of Christian character you have ex-
emplified before us. Yon have been
called to a higher and more respon-
sible position in His service and as
you go forth to enter upon your new
work, which abounds with so many
precious opportunities for the uplift-
ing and betterment of sin -stained Ilti-
maeity, our fervent prayer is, that God
will continue to richly And abundantly
bless your labors in your new sphere.
As we separate we cherish the hope
that you will always retain some
pleasant recollections of the hours
spent with us in Melville Sabbath
School and as an indication , of sinter-.
est good wishes on the part of the
scholars and officers, please accept
this umbrella. This boqueb 18 for Miss
Wishart, a token of our abiding friend-
ship for your sister. Signed on be-
half of the School,
THOS. ArtesIreoe ,
sec.-Treas,
Brussels, Oet. 21, 1912.
In reply Mr. Wishart said he found
the Sabbath School work most cols -
genial as he loved boys and girls.
This tie was one of the hardest to
sever. although he found the work
heavy w1111 h15 other ditties the sup-
port by faithful offers• and teachers
had done much to lighten 1`
g 1 alto burden,

REV. A. C. WISHART,
Brussels.
DEAR MR. WISHART.—We ar'eas-
sembled this evening to enjoy a social
hour with you, the pleasure of which
is tinged with the deep regret that
you are so soon to leave us. For the
past 8 years you have striven as our
pastor to lead us out into broad
places impressed by both precept and .
example and no one will gainsay your
success, In the pulpit you have not
shunned to declare the whole truth ;
your pastoral visits have been of the
cheer up" quality and along Mis,.
;denary and other endeavors we have
been taught the blessedness of giving.
We will miss your merry Laugh, your
genial presence, your kindly out-
spoken advice and ever ready help
that have done every department of
OUP church great good. Nor, will we
forget your deep interest in our
spiritual wellbeing and your opti
mann and hope these will inspire us
to fresh diligence. Regrets are ours
at having to part with you but con-
gratulations are also ours as we be-
lieve the promotion to Calgary is not
only deserved but expect you record
there will far outrun what has been
so commendable in your pastorate in
Brussels. As a small token of our
love and appreciation of the splendid
workyy ou have done here please ac-
cept thispurse of gold. . Your name
g
willlive long in the heaps and
memory of our people and we hope to
Prove by our record as a church our
true nobility and Christian character
the outgrowth of seed sown by faith-
ful pastors. Our very best wishes
and fervent prayers will attend you
to your new home and your successes
will be noted by us with real delight.
The parting word we offer in
"Mizpah"—"The Lord watch between`
thee and us when we are absent one
from the ether," and when the Great
Day of Reckoning comes may your
crown be bright with stars and may
it be the happy lot of all whom we
hold near and dear to greet one an-
other on the Golden Shore.
With our choicest regards for your
greatly beloved sister, Miss Wishart,
we hid you Godspeed in the name of
King Emmanuel.
Signed on behalf of the Melville
church congregation by
W. YUILL, Chairman of Board.
M. BLACK, Secretary.
G. A. DEADMAN, clerk of Session.
Brussels, Ont., Oct. 21, 1912.
The reverend gentleman's reply was
befitting to the occasion. Re referred
to the other addresses and gifts receiv-
ed and looked upon this as the climax.
Sentiments expressed were too kind
although he had endeavored to do
his duty faithfully. Appreciated the
gift all the more for the spirit display-
ed.
ie la -ed. The kind words from other
churches and people of the locality
and ready,help with packing and ship- •.
ping convinced him that it would be
difficult to find e. kinder lot of people
between the two oceans. Hoped the
Lord's best blessing would rest upon
Melville church. Hoped there would
be no division over calling of pastor.
He should be God's choice and with,
every department of the church in
good shape the work should advance
backed up by so sturdy a lot of Mana-
gers and Elders. He was leaving for
g
Calgary because he believed God open-
ed the way and hoped iu the wider
field to earnestly strive for the accom-
plishment of the best. Many a day
his thoughts would revert to Brussels
and his old pastorate and his best
wish and prayer was that God would.
guide and guard tlteni unto the end of
life's journey.
Five minute addresses followed from
Revds. R. A.. Lundy, of Walton ; Rev.
D. E. Cameron, Anglican rector, Brus-
eels ; Eiders A. Stewart, T. Strachan
and O. A. Deadman W. H. Herr•,
and M. H. Moore, all tuned to the
same key of regrets and best wishes,
plus the recognition of good work
done by Rev. Mr. Wishart in and out
of the church and the belief
that in
his broader sphere he would be a win-
ner. A letter was read from Rev. Dr.
Oaten, of the Methodist church, who
was unable to be prevent owing to an.
accident, in which he expressed his
best regards to the outgoing pastor and
sympathy with the congregation in
their loss of so vigorous a laborer in
the vineyard.
11 o'clock had arrived by this time
so Rev, Mr. Wishart bade the audi-
ence God -speed and good-bye and dis-
missed the interested gathering with
the Benediction. Many a warm hand,-
shake was accorded at the close.
Rev. Mr. Wishart left Brussels
