DR. AND MRS. GORDON WEBB
TO LEAVE FOR WINGHAM
It is with very great regret that
V record the departure of Dr. and
Mrs. Gordon Webb from Richards
Landing and St. Joseph's Island.
They are -leaving here in about two
weeks for Wingham, in Old Ontario.
Dr. and Mrs. Webb came here to
uS in, November 1926 --their first lo-
cation In Canada. They left Eng-
land (where Dr. Webb had special-
ized as a surgeon) in June 1926 and
after sight seeing in Quebec Pro-
vince, Montreal and Toronto, settled
in Richards Landing,
Both of them have been excellent
citizens during their stay, and have
taken their parts in public ttnd church
work.
Mrs. Webb has been active on the
Ladies' Aid and especially so in
church and hospital bAzaars and gar-
den fetes.
Dr. Webb has been equally active
in various spheres, from judgmg
atory contests at the high school to
chairman of „political meetings, and
even to church work in reading the.
lessons at both Aetglican and Ueited
churches and taking the place of our
United 'minister last year whilst he

PASTOR FOR 35 YEARS
Rev. tir, Ferric, of Whighain Has
Long and Unique, Experience,
/Ole Sunday, evening, Rev. Dr, Per-'
tie' devoted a short time to the chang-
ed conditions in St. Andrew's church
and congregation during the 35 years
he has been its pastor, This is a long
span in the allotted life of any man,
and. is unique in the history of pas-
torates, which do not average much
more than four years, During his
student days at Knox College he spent
one summer on a Mission Field in
Nissouri, and, en his gra.cluation ac-
cepted a call from the congregation
where he labored from 1888 to 1890.
Goma to Geneva Church, Chesley, he
had four years successful work, com-
ing to St. Andrews, Wingham, in the
spring of 1894. )(
And what a change has occurred in
those 35 years. Of the 350 contribu-
tors to the church at that time only
40 remain, while the present mem-
bership. is 373. Perhaps the finan-
Rev. David Perrie, D,D,
cial end will emphasize mote emphat-
ically the changed conditions. When
Dr, Perrie came te 'Wing,hant the
pliseiOnary giving's were $100, and
fast year the congregation raised $e
1667.00, • while the heal congregatio,i
provided $9,417,87 for •i -d1 purposes.
The church as a whole had a member-
ship 181,370 and returns for und of
1927 show a membership of 172,61E4.
The Budget has grown from $293,
70Q to $458,579; and the total giving,:
frcan $2,096:086 to $4;472,089. Wca
men's Missionary Society offers spec -
cause for rejoicing in that their
leontributions have increased from
1$47,242 to $199,894.
But satisfactory and 'pleasing as sta-
tistics mety be in showing permanent
and steady growth, and for which the
Ministry as a Whole is largely reepren
sible, the idea :must not be formed
, that it is in these matters the hettet
