Sixty men gathered to enjoy an evening of good fellowship and to partake of the splendid re past prepared ’by the ladies. Mr. Thomas Pryde acted as toast-master and added to the festivity of'the oc casion by his ready wit. After toasts had been drunk to the King, propos ed by Dr. Atkinson and to Canada responded to by Rev. J. B. Rhodes, Mr. Henry Strang responded to the toast to the Presbyterian Church in Canada, stirring the enthusiasm of all present as he described her past glory and her present vitality. Mr. J. G. Stanbury responded' to the toast to Caven Church, touching on the high lights of her history. The toast to the Ladies was proposed by Mr. Lloyd Baynham and responded to by Miss L. M. Jeckell. Commun ity singing under the direction of Mr. J. Senior was hearty and lusty, while interspersing the toasts Mr. Senior and Mr. Kenneth Stanbury, accompanied by Miss Lena Coates, gave several delightful solos. A short skit arranged as a surprise number provoked considerable mirth. The speed with which it was acted was arresting. During the evening, Dr. Atkinson and Mr. Nelson Stanlake, representing the Board of Managers, tgave short addresses expressing the ’confidence with which the Board faces the future; a confidence based on the support which the congrega tion is giving the church in all its activities. The evening was brought to a close by the singing of "Old Lang Syne” in the time honored way, not before it had been decided, how ever to hold several other gather ings of this kind during the course of the year.
