Prospering Spiritually and Financially.
The Quarterly services of the Ontario
street church were held last Sabbath
and were fraught with unusual inter-
est. The Rev.Dr, Gifford preached, as
usual, two eloquent and appropriate
sermons. The congregation both
-morning and evening was large and
• the communion was one of the largest
ever held In this obuith. The Quarter-
ly Board met on Monday eveningwhert
the business was transacted- in the
mast pleasant and harmonious spirit.
Since Dr. Gifford's pastorate of this
church began a little over a year ago it
has continued to prosper both spirit-
ually and financially and the best of
feeling prevails between pastor and
• people. As an evidence of this the
salary was increased fifty dollars the
second advance that has been made
during the doctor's pastorate. The
congregation has already commenced
operations on the extensive improve-
ments which willcost between $4,000
and $5,000 and when completed they
expect to have one of the best churches.
in the district. The finances in general
are in advance and everything points
to a most prosperous and. 'successful
.371:a1;eserving Institution.
Several of the municipalities of this
county have been, in the habit for a
few years past of making a ernall
annual grant to the Hospital for tick
Children, Toronto, which is known to
be engaged in a noble work. There
have probably been very few patients
sent from Huron. Indeed, the first
we have heard of was that of an eight
• year old son of Mr. Isaac Ceder of
• Stapleton,who has been suffering from
curvature of the '.spine. •Mr. John
• Itansford has taken an interest in the
hospital, a practical one, by the way,
and with the hope that a course of
• treatment there would benefit the
child, he wrote to the managers who,\
after some necessary preliminary ques-
tions, told him to bring the boy along.
This •Mr. Ransford, whose kiednese
and generosity is well known, did yes-
terday and the little fellow is now re-
ceiving every attention, They'll cure
him if they can. Only one stipulation
• was made and that was, if after every
• effort bad been made he was still
pronounced incurable that he be taken
home, Mr. Ransford was shown over
the hospital and as the result cannot
speak too highly of the institution
from,every standpoint. ,
