The Walkerton Telescope makes the
following reference to the removal of a
former pastor here:—Rev. Thos. Wilson,
pastor of Knox Church,' received. a call
last week to a large church accross the
Line, the Church of the Covenant, at
Williamsport, Pa. Mr. Wilson is taking
two weeks to consider the call and will
announce his, decision to his congregation
next Sunday morning. On Wednesday
night of last week he informed his
Session of the call. The members of
Session spoke strongly against allowing
Mr. Wilson to go and among the congre-
gation the same sentiment prevails.
Rev. Mr. Wilson came to Walkerton
from King St. Church, London, fourteen
years ago. He is not only beloved by
his own flock but among citizens of all
denominations he is highly regarded as a
citizen of solid worth. His sympath-
ies have been broader than the four
walls of his church and he has taken
an active and hearty interest in all
movements for the betterment of
Walkerton and its citizenship. 'The
least attractive feature qf the call is
no doubt, that it means removal from
the land of the Union Jack, and this,
to one who is such a thorough -going
Britisher, having children serving in
France as Mr. Wilson has, in no small
matter. The call came indirectly
through Mr. Wilson occupying the
pulpit of a Philadelphia Church last
August an official member of tate
Williamsport Church inquired from a
Philadelphia friend as to where his
church could find a good pastor. The
Philadelphia friend mentioned Mr-.
Wilson, who was thereupon invited
to preach at Williamsport and the call
promptly followed. Williamsport is a city
of about forty thousand population. The
salary paid by the Church of the Coven-
ant is about double Mr. Wilson's present
'salary.
