"Rev Emanuel Medd, the energetic
pastor, under whose charge this church
has been completed, was ordained in
1889, after attending the Wesleyan
Theological College in Montreal, and
taking a special Arts course in McGill
University. He has pursued regular
college work since leaving Montreal,
and is now a non-resident in Otterbein
,University, Ohio, where he attended
examinations last Christmas, and has
two years' more work before ending a
post -graduate course in .philosophy.
His whole aeon is to be a minister of the
gospel fully equipped for his work.
He was married in 111169 to Miss Belle
Hiles, and Harrow is his second pas-
