When he came to Ex eter he had been only five years in the ministry and realizing the Im portant place that the historical pulpit of James St held in the com munity he was determined to make every effort to uphold its traditions He was always impressed with the importance of having a real message for his congregation and he let nothing interfere in the preparation of his sermons and yet he had never prepared a sermon that appeared satisfactory to him. He spoke of the kindness that had been extended to Mrs McTavish and his family. He felt that it was through Divine guidance that he had been called to Port Hope. Mr. McTavish preached has fare well message'at the evening service. The large auditorium was practical ly filled for this occasion. He; took for his message “Lo he was gone.” His remarks were based on the old testament story of Ahab, king of Israel, allowing Ben-hadab, king of Assyria to escape after he had been captured in battle. He spoke of man’s devotion to his duty and of the dire consequences that may hap pen at the single neglect to grasp every opportunity. During the eleven years of his ministry he had been forced only once to cancel an gagement at the last moment, those eleven years three had been spent at Crediton and six a.t Exeter. He had never aped a false piety but rather wished to be a man among men. He had aimed to render a ser- vce to the community as well as to the-church and hoped always to be able to lend a helping hand to the man in need.
