SEER TO UNITE
EXETER CHURCHES..
A request for they merger,. of Caven
Presbyterian and Main,Methiodi,at
churches in Exeter into a uniion
chuvchawas the wnu,auaj, peftitiionheard
at the special, co-operative com:m^at1Gee
of the .London' Methodist ,Conference
at its meeting in Wiespiey Hall, Lon-
don, on Monday afternoon A delega-
tion or Methodist laymen, cons stisng
of afecars, H E, Hustoei, W. G. Medd
W„S, Howey andoB. W,. F. Beavers of
Exeter supported the petition and .in-
timated that the ,Presbyterians ' were
also advocates of the change,
No action was taken, by the confer-
ence committee. Sesne o1 tke • mem-
bers thought that sancllionitng a step
of this sort w,ould( be aigainst'the: best
interests of the MethodistChurch as
e. whole. Even if the, churches be-
came a union charge( it would not tend
to attract or retain as, many ;Metho-
dist families, as a 1VIeitluodist church,
On the other handl it was pointted out
that Exeter already has one flourish-
ing 'outpost of iv1ethodioim in ,; James
Street Church` •
• The question .of .organic union came
in; for cons iderable;informal diacussioin
In this 0ortneictron it was. elt that it
was unwise to pracee,d hastilly, with

what action the general assembly would
take in 'expediting church union
through its next meeting.
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
The annual meeting of. the Horti-
cultural Society was held On Wednes-
day evening the 10th inst. when re-
ports were given by the Board of Dir-
ectors and the Secretary Treasurer
on the year's operations. *The fin-
ancial statementis published else-
where. Mr. Joseph Harvey; the en-
ergetic President of the Society re-
viewed the splendid work done in
1922. Besides the educational val-
ue of the Canadian Horticulturist
and of the meetings the Society had
inspired a new and livlier interest
iu flowers and trees and shrubs.
Thousands of bulbs and large quan-
tities of trees and seeds had ~been dis-
tributed through the Societle so that
Exeter neverlooked loviier.than dur-
ing the past summer. With , the o-
pening of spring the tulips and hya-
cinths will once more give testimony.
to the zeal and foresight of the sub-
scribers. All this was accomplished
on a membership fee of $1.0Q, every
cent of which was returned to the
members in premiums of seeds and
bulbs. The President outlined the
work for 1923 more particularly in
connection with the parks and called.
attention to the very liberal pre-
miums to mem;ers in 1923..He .em-
phasized the fact that all those des-
iring to join should hand in their
name and their selection of premiums
to the Secretary by the 20th inst. if
possible. The Society deserves the
hearty support not only of every flow-
er lover for the personal benefit to,
be derived but also of every citizen
of Exeter and surrounding district
for the wonderful improvement of
lawns and streets `and parks which
organized effort can and does thus
accomplish. The officers for 1.923.
are as follows: Hon. Pres. Dr. Hynd
man and I. R. Carling; Pres., Jos. S.
