of the two congregations. Of that
memorable occasion, which eau still
be revelled by a few of the older
members, u report in the eolumns of
ME POST of August 8, 1870, states
that "Rev. 3. B. Seott, of Egumnd-
ville, preached It very excellent and
suitable d (scout se ; appropriate
counsel was given to the minister by
Rev. Geo. Brown and to the people
by Rev. Mr. Pritchard.'
During the term of that long
pastorate mostly all the pioneer
woekevs have entered thele eternal
rest ; workers then in their prime
have grown grey in the service
:young men and maidens of 86 years
ago ATP the men and women of to -day,
and it younger generation have taken
their placee, many of whom, prior
to Tuesday, had never witnessed an
hid eel in» setyice.
It was 0 large and representative
gatheving that tilled the thanbrook
church nn Tuesday to witness the
ceremony in connection with the
new elliatice aboet to be consum-
mated between pastor and people.s.
The proceedings commenced at 2.30
p. tu when Rev. A. J. Mann, of
Melville thumb, Benseels, led in the
devotional exercises and aftewards
preached an inspiring sermon from
the text found lit Luke 24 :32 : "Did
not our hearts but n within us while
He talked With us by the way and
while He opened to us the Scrip-
toes ?" Th e reverend gen Semen
emphasized the !nominee t place
which piteeiOn Should have in every
life. Everything great in life is a
passion, religion therefore 110 said,
inuet be impassioned. We might
have light enough but no heat. The
world needs passion as well as heat
the two must go together, he de-
clared, neither can be complete with-
out the other. The greater the
passion for gnod the greatee the light.
The speaker was convinced that
what the church needs to -day was a
cnnsuining zeal and baptism of the
Holy Spirit, It is not prayer that
counts he said it is passion in pt ayer.
It is not reading the Bible that
counts but 11. 18 the passion that is
put. into the pommel of the sacred
pages. That our burning fervor was
was so often quickly cooled was due
to lack of Mayer, the frequent study
of God's Word, the neglect of church
fellowship Cr the church service. The
speaker further urged that a passion
should never be permitted to evapoe-
ate without the performance of any
service. There was drunter of such a
habit being formed. Do not forget,
he warned, that, such a heart is the
heart that grows hard. We must
act steongly. We should "burn our
bridges" behind us and make it as
difficult as possible to be unfaithful,
to retreat, or stand still but we
should cling to the inspiration that
leads us on. A. tacer in the arena of
lire mum, not sit down and bemoan
his fate but must persevere to the
end. We should do some service
each dtty, the speaker continued, if
for no other reason than that we
would rather eot do it. This habit
would make us stvong in the day of
temptation. Never thwart the de-
sire of the heart to do something f
gland and good, thus the passion
will be kept strong. Concluding Mr.
Mann urged that the congregations
should join hands with the new c
pastm and enthusiastically and
unitedly early forward the week of
Jesus Christ in the community.
"Give to the World the best that is
in you and the best will come back
to yon" was the gist of his final
words of ad vies).
Rev, Mv: Bell, of Molesworth. who e
lied acted as interim Moderator dm,
ing the vitcaney, then related the
stem; which led up to the time when
t 10,1 congvegations had agreed on

was deemed advisable to call a regular
minister and the Presbytery was

year 1876, Rev, 1)..13, McRae was call-
ed by the two congregatioes and
regularly inducted as minister in
charge. The minister's stipend, raised
throughout Lhe ministerial charge of
Ethel end Cretintrook, was supple-
mented by aid received from the
Mission Ommnittee of the Presbyter-
ian church, This assistance was with-
drawu in the year 1881, the congrega-
tion having in the meautitue become
strung enough to be eelf-sustaining,
rendering fut Liter aid from that source
unnecessary. Since that time the
Ethel congregation has remained in
that position. The evidences of
growth shown by this charge in 1881
has continued and become more mark-
ed through the eueceeding years up lo
the present.

during its existence extending over a
period of forty years, that this is the
second time the congregation has

induction in 1876 end! the 1st of De-
cember 1912, when he t esigued to ac-
cept the call from the congregation of

such as Sunday School, Young Peo-
ple's Society, Missionary Society,
choir, &c., all maintained with faith-
fulitees and a vigor that telis in their
development.

Bluevale
LEeTt:ItE.- Rev Dr. Barber, of
Listowel, gave a delightful Lecture
iu the Methodist church March 26th
uu "A. trip to the Pyramids." It was
given under the auspices of the
Li tenses,* Social and Debating Society.
Rev. Walter Moffatt, of Millbank,
who was advertised to appear, lost
his lantern slides and generator in a
fire that destroyed his home on Good
Friday so was unable to keep his
engagement and Dr. Barber, oui
very short notice, kindly consented
to take his place. It is safe to say
that no one who heard Irina regretted
the exchange as Dr. Barber is a very -
fluent speaker and wit and eloquence
were blended throughout his lecture
while the word pictures he conveyed
of thti life and scenery in the land of
the Photo:the were striking in their
vividness. At the close of the meet-
ing a very hearty vote of thanks was
tendered Dr. Barber for the pleasure
his hearers had derived from his
lecture. It is to be hoped that this
will not be his last visit to Bluevale.
Rev, J. E. Cook was chairman of the
evening and in addition to the lecture
a violin solo Wile rendered by L.
Rutter); bliss Agues Aitchison sang
a solo, "Mary" ; a duet, "Anchored"
was sung by 14Irs. Watson and Miss
