TWO NEW PASTORS The' Rev. Albert • A. Holmes, the hew paster of Wesley Methodist church, is not a Canadian. He was born in Newfoundland and spent all his life .there until about two years ago, when, owing to health require- ments, he came to Canada and was stationed, by the London Conference at Wroxeter. Mr: Holmes, who was educated at Mount Allison 'College, in the province of New 'Brunswick, has been in the ministry thirty-five years .and has held many offices in the gift, of his brethren, even up to that of Confer- ence president. In 1914 Mr. Holmes took a trip to Palestine, and has many interesting souvenirs of his journey. He came' to Canada:, from Pouehcove, which is in the electoral district" of St. Johns' East. IIis wife is a Canadian, being a na- tive of Prince Edward Island, and he has a• family of one son and four daughters. His son, A. Chester Holmes, who was a lieutenant in the Air. Force during the -war, is now at Oporta, Portugal, in the employ of an English company, one daughter is married and resides in Newfoundland, Miss Gwendolyn was graduated from the Toronto General Hospital train- ing school for nurses in May, Miss Helen' is a nurse -in -training at Wel- lesley Hospital, Toronto, and Miss Ethel is at home. • Mr. and Mrs. Holmes say that 'the. customs -of Canada differ in many res- pects from those of Newfoundland, which is Britain's oldest colony, thoiigh now a Dominion as they proudly remind you. English .;Bus-. ;torus tirrevail in the new'"Dominion"" and its natives are very;loyal to their - native land. They profess to be very. happily impressed with 'Canada, how- ever, and We . trust will' find Clinton a pleasant town todwell in. M Ilev, Clayton J. Moorehouse, who has just commenced ,his pastorate of Ontario street Methodist church,' has always lived within the London 'Con- ference area and has been in the min- istry for the past twenty years. He comes here from Kerwood, where he. has completed a successful pastorate. He, has had charge, amongst ethers, of ICerwood, Merton had Thedford circuits. .Mr. Moorehouse is an ener- getic young ,man, and while he does not seek that sort of outlet for his . energy, has had a good deal to do with "church building during his min- isterial career.Upon several of the cirouits upon wiheh he has labored'•it has been necessary to build and much of the work of seeing that such build.. ing operations' have been'properly fin- anced has fallen upon hint. 'At Ker - wood last year they built ' a fine church at a cosh outlay of $25,000, be- sides much work done by the mem- bers, Wring are of the whole debt at the opening of the. church, But,' while Mr.. •Moorehouse, has done considerable towards building material churches, it is to the build- ing up of the spiritutl'Church that his inclinations run, and his hobby, if one might call it a ltobby,.is missions. Mr. Moorehouse's family coteists of a wife, two sons acid onesdaughter', Clayton, Stuart and Ruth, all in the High iScohol. Miss Ruth is spend- ing the Vacation time With her grand- mother in London. Mr, Moorehouse says he has al - 'ways thought Clinton an ideal town to live in, cieanequiee progressive'end possossing, the necessary require- ments for the making df living fair- ly comfortable.. He and his family look forward to enjoying their so- jourir here and Clinton welcomes them to eitfzenship, lARI1FACED LOT Qnly one councillor in.

Dr, Howard Fowler of town: "John Hoffman, alias James Lan - grill, a barrister, is under arrest at Lockport, N. Y., Hoffman, who had an office in the Manning' `Chambers, Toronto, is wanted on a charge of forgery. It is charged he forged the sil :cure of Dr. W. R. J. Fowler, of Gri _ah, and uttered a forged docu- ment for which he is alleged to have.. obtained several thousand dollars. Hoffman will be brought to Toronto for trial." WHERE SHALL WE GET THEM ?" After the first 'of October, next it will be necessary to affix inland re- venue stamps to all documents requie ing stamps, and not postage_statnps,I as all business houses have been do - ng so•far. Thisi.is no doubt so that a more accurate record' of the revers ue returns may be kept, but in that case the postoffices and all places now. authorized to'se11 stampsshould have the inland revenue stamps for sale. A• 'lot of business -is •-done ',after the closing of the batiks, the only places now selling revenue stamps. • This business of affixing stamps to all cheques, receipts, etc., is not only;an expensive one but it is troublesome, toe; and should he made as easy as possible for busy people. After August first a two -cent stamp will also have to be put upon all form letter and postcard receipts' over ten dollars. This is a new ruling, as: many devices were being resorted to in order to evade the tax.
