WILLIS CIIIJRCII.
MEETING bF PRESBYTERY. -
The regular January meeting of WI+
Presbytery of Huron was held in
Brumfield On "Tuesday with a fate
representation in attendance. Them:
was the regular ro u-trae businohs
which comes before this meeting to '
be disposed of, but the matter of alio
most vital interest was the consider-
ation of the resignation of Rev. Alex:.
Stewart, D. D., as the pastor of
Willis congregation. Tho session was
represented by Mr. W. G. ,Smyth,
while Mr. A. Innes represented the
congregation. The latter gentleman
presented to the Presbytery the reso-
luiton which was adopted at a spec-
ial meeting of the conare•cation held
to consider the resignation of the
pastor. The resolution was read and
very favorably commented upon botk
for its fineness and depth of feeling,
and for the beauty of its expression.
The representatives in addressing the
Presbytery expressed themslves as
being tin accord with the pastor in
thinking that in. view of the fact that
the cause of the resignation was fail-
ing health, the natter was removed
in higher hands and there was
nothing left but to submut. The Pres-
bytery reluctantly accepted the resig-
nation and heartily agreed that a re-
commendation should he sent to the
General Assembly asking that Rev.
Dr. Stewart receive the title Of
Pastor Enters:'as, While the matte!:
was before the Presbytery many of
the older members spoke of their long
association with the retiring pastor
of Willis church and paid admiring
tributes to his spleudid work and re-
called the pleasant and brotherly as-
sociations of the years gone by.
Rev. George E. Ross of Godcricli
was appointed moderator:
On Sunday last Rev, Mr. Grant
preached to parents in the morning,
itis subject was 'Rewards of Paren-
tal Devoe on." He took for Inc text
the weals, "Take this child and
nurse it for me and I will give thee
thy waged' In the evening he ad-
dressed the young men from the well
known words, "Whcrewi'alai shall a
young pian cleanse his ways ? By tak-
ing heed thereto, according to thy
word." Both services were well at. -
tended.
The regular annual congregational
meeting wil+i be held on Wednesday
evening next.
The pulpit of 0.iis church will be
declared vacant on the first Sunday
in February,

The funeral, which was private,
took place, from the family residence,

conducted ` by Rev; J. E. Foa'1•.
and Rev. T. , Wesley ' Cosens.
Amongst those from out .of town
•who were present aa the f un -

ously told weaves around the en-
tanglement and distressing position of
a private secretary. Rov. Robert
Spalding, who is engaged by a country
gentleman, Mr. Marsland.: Mr. Mars -
land's nephew, Harry, who is living
in London, becomes entangled in some
financial difficulty and seeks aid from
his friend, Douglas Catlermole, a
steady young' man who has no inclin-
ation to "sow wild oalIs'4 as his rich
uncle in India insists. In an endeav-
or to comply with his uncle's com-
mand, Douglas aids Harry out of lus
difficulty and at the same time ac-
companies him to Mr. Marsland's
country home as, the newly engaged
privatesecretary, while Mr: Spalding
is persuaded to remain in Douglas'
rooms in London. Harry's cousin,
Edith Maryland, and her friend, Eva
Webster, offer ample entertainment
for the boy until the appearance of
