ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The .tikanivet..
fang services in connection with, Dura
!larch here, were held on Sab-
bath last, and , were conducted
bp Rev W. T. Hall, of Belgrave,
the preached two able sermons to large
congregations. Mr. Hall has many admir-
e"
hero, and the good people of,Belgrave are
fortunate in having so able and eloquent
a preacher. On Monday the anniversary
tea -meeting was held, and so large was the
attendance that had the church been twice
as large it would, no doubt, have been filled
to overflowing, but on account of the goner-.
.otity of the ladies of the congregation there
wait enough -for all: an s to spare, while `the
refrelhmenta were sac + as to satisfy even the
,most fastidious epic re. The addresses,
also, were good, an a the music - by the
Brussels choirwas jus suchas might be ex-
pected from sue a + organization. The
affair throughout w very successful and
-aatisfaotory, and e a e sure that the fin-
social results will e e wally so, Rev. Mr.
Forest, the p sto , who has re-
signed his oha go, will preach his
farewell sermon c Sabbath. Many
will be sorry a rt r. Forest's depart-
ure, and particular y or the reason which
has caused hisres gu tion. He has been
suffering for some time from an affection of
the throat, renderi g i necessary for him. to
-Vire from active wo k for a season. He
