Weather wan beautiful and notwithstanding that roads wet none too good a great congregation packed the fine edifice to the doors At 11 a. m.: the pastor, the, A. J. Mann, B. A„ conducted the in- troductory part of the Ivor -- ship and Rev. Dr. Rose, of Tor- onto, 0 well !Mown former pastor, for more than a gnat ter of a centrey was the preacher.

The invincibility which Christ affirms of the Church. Invincibility guaranteed by the in- dwelling presence of Chriet, the infi- nite power of Obrist and the redemp- tive 'Passion of Christ. In conclusion the large congregation was urged to belong to this church, 10 beautify it by their Christ -like characters and abide in its blessed fellowship. Excellent music was rendered by the large choir led by Mrs. Addie Wright and the offering totalled $725.00. At the con- clusion of this initial serviee in the new chinch many very happy re- unions of old friends was enjoyed. SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY At 3 o'clock a rally of the Sabbath School and young people was held in the auditorium, presided over by the pastor. A musical prograrn was rendered by the Y. P. S. G. E. choir and an excellent address, one that will 1101 be easily forgotten, was given by Rev. Dr. Ross, He took as his topic "Learn of Me" and developed fourfold advantages from the "learn- • • the ilrst preachers of Presbyterhtnisre and he coiloluly very ably euetabied his repntalinn by hie noble efforts of Sunday , last.

Dr, and 11re, !toss, was largely attended by utembere of the congregation and numerous end - tors and was a delightful function. It was informal and consequently more enjoyable in the eonnningling.of friends of happy days' of yore, Chmce instrumental selections were rendered by Mrs. R. Thomson and Ales, (Dr.) Holmes and vocal solos well sung by Miss Isabel Strachan and Mise: Verne SValkei. A tasty lunch was served. The boys and girls of the Sabbath School aoeepted the invitation to eat Temper at the church instead of at their respective homes and put in a good time, To prove the super -abundance of the provision made by the MELVILLE NEW CHURCH; was set as the sum hoped for in the 'offering but itis now anticipated that what was thought almost impossible by some will be superseded by the hearty co-operation of the congre- gation. MAMMOTH GA.THERXNG MONDAY EVENING The ladies of the congregatian made .A. 1 preparations for a great crowd Monday evening and had well ladened tables set in the Sunday School room to accommodate 175 at a time. Sup- per was served from 5 to after 8 o'- closk and when we state that between 900 and a1000 people were waited on the undertaking of the ladies may be guessed at. By carrying out a well arranged system of numbered tickets there was no confusion nor crowding and first came were first served. The bill of fare was par excellent and the tables. were decorated with imitation apple 'blossoms giving a very tasty appearance in the well lighted room. What was demonstrated downstairs was amply reproduced in the audi- torium in the musical and literary bill of fare presented.

Mr. Bradshaw sang "My Ain Countrie" as the closing solo and the patient and somewhat weary audienoe was dismissed by the Bene - ladies many well filled baskets were sent to various horses after all the programmed dining was concluded. Probably no member of the congre- gation has rendered as faithful ser- vice about the new church during its construction as Alex. Stewart. He is assuredly entitled to the warmest thanks of the congregation for his constancy and thoughtfulness. The unqualified success of the open- ing of the new edifice should do much to hearten the work of pastor and peo- ple and they are to be heartily con- gratulated upon the results of the oc- casion. aca810n.

Jackson, of Blyth, was called away. Mie illness was brief and hie demise little dreamed of by those outside of of his immediate personal friends so that the news of his demise was a sad surprise indeed. He was born in Waterloo Co. in the year 1854 and came with his father's family to Morris township 8111 line, when 2 years of age. In this locality he spent his life in the favor of both God and man. to 1880 deceased was united in marriage with Miss Alice, daugh- ter of the lute George Hood, of the same township, and they made their home on Mr. Jackson's farm until they moved to Blyth in 1908. Here he busied himself in every good word and work and was virtually every bcdy's friend, possibly he did too much. Ile was a faithful member of the ,Methodist church and in the choir, Sabbath School on the Official Board etc., ire rendered A 1 service. His integrity was undoubted and his geniality was not easy to surpass both at home and abroad. The writer feels he has lost a splendid personal friend whose decease is greatly de- plored. Funeral took place Monday afternoon and wasoneof the largest ever seen in Blyth. Rev, George Jewitt was in charge. To Mrs. Jackson and other relatives will be aocorded deep sympathy. -•- s Ia.-In St. Andrew's church DevrnaoN L un 81 C 1 88 ' sv. am Ont.,on march s 8 B,by Mev.
