passed away to her eternal home on

twenty-three years. She was convert-
ed about two years ago under the la-
bors of the evangelist, Miss Williams,

life has been consistent with her pro-
fessien as a Christian. Ddring the
time Ikt sensibility, which .occurred
during her illness, she was quite happy
and resigned to the will of God, sev-
eral Moses she asked those around to
sing or pray, and her regnests tieing
complied with, she seemed quite satis-
fied. She died in the triumphs of the
faith, and left a bright testimony, be-
hind that she is gone to be with her
Saviour, whom she loved and served.
Her remains Imre brought to the resi-
dence of her fathey, 9th con., Cplborne,

ANNIV]eRSARY.—The Sunshine co
respondent of the Exeter Times thus
refers to the services of a well-known
and highly esteemed Hullett boy :—
Seven years last Sunday week, 20th
inst., the Methodist Church here was
dedicated to divine wopship, the senior
pastor of the circuit then being Rev. W
H. Gene, at present of Amherstburg,
who was assisted by Rev. E. Medd,
then in the first year of probation.
Last week the anniversary services
were conducted by Rev. E. Medd, who
received, a glad and warm welcome
from his numerous friends and ac-
quaintances, who were much pleased
to renew the friendship of seven years
ago. Then a mere lad standIng tremb-
ling on the first round of popular favor,
everyone had a good word for the
young pastor, whose purity of life and
simplicity of character won all hearts.
Those who had the pleasure of listen-
ing to his impressive and eloquent dis-
courses could not but feel proud of the
fact that it Was in this humble portion
of God's vineyard that he began the
upward course that has been since so
signally blessed and owned ot his Mas-
ter, whom he so consistently serves. A
sermon morning and evening, and an
address to the Sunday School in the af-
ternoon, made up a busy day for the
ministers and a very profitable one for
the people. Mr Medd spent Monday
visiting as ntaiLy as possible of his old
friends and on Tuesday left for his home
in Iona. Sunshine is to be congratu-
lated onthesuccess oftheiranniversary.

debtedness against the church. The

Ph. D., Palestine, an old friend of the
pastor. In the morning Dr Howie
