June 21st, was a red letter day in the history of St. Andrew's church, when very inspiring and im- pressive Jubilee services were held. Splendid congregations assembled both morning and evening and listened with interest and profit to two strong practical sermons de- livered by Rev. D. C. McGregor, M. A. Associate Secretary of the newly amalgamated Board of Home Mis- sions and Social Service and Evange- lism. Mr. McGregor is a man of strong personality and deep con- viction and is a strong preacher. His message to the people who heard him last Sabbath will not soon ,be forgotten. Oct the platform and taking part in the service with Mr. McGregor were the pastor, Rev. T. A. Bell, B. A., and Rev. J. W. Bell M. A. pastor emeritus of Kew Beach Presbyterian church, Toronto and a former pastor of Listowel and Molesworth. Although Mr. Bell's pastorate dates back to the year 1868 time seems to have dealt gently with him and he still retains his powers to a remarkable degree. A feature of the morning service was the service of praise when the organ and choir were dispensed with and the singing was led by Geo. Brown, a former preceutor. The congregational singing of the Psalms and Paraphrases was hearty and many expressions of appreciation of this part of the service were heard. Congregation was fortunate in hav- ing the assistance of Waiter C. Mc- Cutcheon, baritone of St, Andrew's church, London, who sang with great acceptance at both services. Miss Hermiston, of iListowel, also sang at the evening service and her singing was much appreciated. With the able assistance given by the choir of the church the Song service in.con- nection with the Jubilee on Sunday was of a high order. The services were continued Mon- day afternoon and evening. In the afternoon a very enjoyable reunion was held. Church was well filled with members, former .members and friends. The service began with . singing "0 1 God of Bethel" ; the 28rd Psalm was read by the pastor and Rev. A. B. Dobson, of Fordwich, led in prayer. Addresses of a reminiscent and inspirational character were given by Rev. J. W. Bell, Toronto Rev. D. B. McRae, Aemow; Rev. A, B. Dobson, Fordwich. Music was furnished by d the choir an by D. Strachan, James- town. town. All of the selectione..were in keeping with the occasion and were appreciated by those present. By the time the meeting in the church was over the ladies had sup- per ready in the school room and a busy three hours were spent in pro- viding the inner needs of the crowd. Too much praise cannot be given the ladies for the excellent tables that were set and for the very efficient way in which they served the hun- dreds who sat down to the feast that was provided. The time between supper and the: opening of the even- ing meeting was one of, the most enjoyable parts of the Jubilee as it afforded an opportunity for the people to meet and renew old friend- ships and recall the scenes and :events of clays gone by. At 8 o'clock the church was filled toits capacity when the following program was given, . the pastor Rev. T. A.
