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.
