Enterprise and refers to an old Clin-
ton' boy, son of Mrs. T. lie malt' of

"Announcement has been made
that Rev. F. Herman, rector 01 the
Anglican . churches, Christ Church,
Bolton, and St. Mary's, Tullamore,
will leave in a few clays to assume
the incumbency of Markham. "Rev.
Mr, Herman has been stationed _ here
for nearly ten years and general re-
gret is expressed at his removal. Dur-
ing that term the churches under the
.charge have enjoyed great prosper-
ity. Not only has there been a grad-
ual increase in church membership,
but the W.A., A.Y.P.A. and, other af-
filated . organizations have also at-
tained greater efficiency. In addi-
tion, great. improvements have been
made in the church, the rectory and
the churc1i farm. in.
Mr. Herman
took an interest, in the affairs of the
and un -
community -his first thought a
flagging interest was his church
and his people. In this he was loy-
allysupported by . Mrs. Herman who
was most active in the work which)
came within her spho?'o• Miss Clete,
Hertnan was also popular with • her
young friends. Mr .Herman will be
succeeded by Rev. J. J. Robbins, of
Markham." '
On Friday evening, January 3rd,
the congregation of Christ Church
gathered at the Rectory and present-
ed Mr. and Mrs. Herman with a purse
of money to purchase a solid walnut
