Rev. W. M. Martin Ban=
quetted
The banquet tendered 1t( v. W. 51.
Martin by the citizens of Exeter
in the Opera house Wednesday even-
ing of Last week, was the most elabor-
ate function of the kind ever given in
Exeter, nearly 150 persons being pre-
sent besides the waiters, young men
of the town, who kindly tendered
their services for the occasion. The
hall was artistically decorated with
flags, bunting, flowers and pictures
and the music ►vas furnished by .Tony
Cortese Harpers, of London.
The banquet tables ‘were set around
the outside of the auditorium, with
one running along the centre, while
smaller tables were placed in the
north east and south east corners.
They ►were also nicely decorated. ,
At 8.30 the largo assemblage was
seated and after the chairman, ltcv.
Colin Fletcher, pastor of the Thames
Road Presbyterian church, offered
up thanks, Mr. French, a prominent
caterer of Toronto, who had charge
of the menu for Mr. Ea A. Foliick,
served the dainty viands that had
been prepared. After refreshments
had been disposed of, the toast to lllis
Majesty -The King, was drank, by
every one rising to their feet and
singing "Rule Brittania".
The ass Canada
h tog to and th • Em_
Aire was then proposed by Mr. It. E.
Pickard. Mr. Pickard spoke of the
several invasions of Canada by the
Americans marc ans duringest century, 1 c urs, but
having been successfully repelled,
they are now endeavoring to invade
Canada in a different manner, by
becoming residents of our fair Do-
minion, by taking up lands in the
northwest and they make the best
kind of settlers. Unlike other for-
eigners,
or-
n rtheya
er (. s do not band together
R . 8
and -form settlements. but spread out,
each one looking after his own in-
terests. t1;. Pickard also dwelt on
the class of indigents, ►rho occasion-
ally get across our borders and be-
come a charge on the public. This
he said could be prevented to a large
extent, by having them stopped at
•• the port of leaving instead of try-
• ing to have them stopped at Canadian
uotts.
31r. W. 11. \1',•idcnhammer res -
vended to the toast and gave an ex-
cellent address, pointing out the
grand possibilities of Canada, a coun-
try of which we should feel justly
proud+ Ile spoke of the great pro-
ductiveness, fisheries, and watt _ toys.
He predicted that Canada world be
come one of the greatest manufactur-
ing countries in the world, and with
its beautiful scenery, pleasant re-
sorts and excellent climate is a coun-
try unexcelled. 1Ie expected we
would live to see the day when we
would have Imperial Federation, giv-
ing us closer relationship with the
mother country and the other colon-
ies.
The toast to "Caren and Chiselhurst
Churches" was proposed by the chair,
and responded to by Mr. henry
Sttang. Mr. Strang gave a history
of the Exeter Presbyterian church.
telling how Itev. John Logi,. formed
a church at Rogerville in 1861. The
Presbyterians afterwards worshipped
in the church on the hill north of the
river, until the present structure was

vitation to every sufferer er from weak eyes or defective sight to

built. In 1$80, the congregation hav-
ing some dissentlon with the pastor
decided to stand alone and contin-
ued so until Bev. Martin was called
as pastor. The church at the time
was debt $2,000, but that was wiped
out the first year of Mr. Martin's
ttastorate. In 1885 the present manse
was built. Mr. Strang eulogized the
uastor, speaking of how the congre-
gation Was united around hint be-
cause of the high ideals for truth and
honesty as taught by hint.
,lir. F. W. Madman in proposing
the "Sister Churches" said it was
most gratifying to the community to
see the brotherly feeling which ex-
isted among the •different ministers
of th r town, und predicted that at
no distant date all Christian church-
es ttould be united, all being guided
with one impulse and object in view.
Rev. E. A. Fear, in responding,
spoke of the uniWity and love which
prevails arnong the churches of Exe-
ter. Ile had known Rev. Martin 20
years and had always found him true
to his ideals and worthy of the res-
pect which had been shown him. Mr.
F ear at oke of the membeship of the
various churches and expected union
at no distant date.
Ilev. Collins spoke of the unique
gathering, h( ing composed of mem-
bers for all denominations of the
town. It is also unique t hat a pas-
tor could serve a congregation for
so many years. Mr. Collins gave an
outline of the history of the Anglican
church. Ile had always found 51r.
Martin to be a Christian gentleman.
Mr. Senior gave a very pleasing
sold.
"Our Municipal Institution:" Iver~
proposed by Mr. A. Q. Itobier. Mr.
Bottler spoke of the excellent con-
ditions of our town and its inhabit-
ants. The banks are the hest medium
for showing the prosperity of a muni-
cipality and said the local banks are
the best feeders for the head offices
of any section in Canada.
Reeve T. 11. McCallum in respond-
ing spoke of the excellent educational
facilities we enjoy, and of the unsur-
passed location which Exeter has, be-
ing surrounded by the finest section
of land itt Canada, and is the.hub be-
tween three of the larger centres.
London, Stratford and Goderich be-
ing about an equal distance from us.
The roads of this section are also
supposed to be the hest in the Do-
atinion.
Councillor W. .J. Bearman followed
:along the same line its Mr. McCallum.
Every citizen should do his best in
the interests of his town and instead
of snaking uncomplimentary remarks,
should form a "Boosters' club" and
thus keep Exeter in the limelight
with other progressive Canadian
t owns.
"The Lea rood Professions," was
proposed by Mr. A. E. Enke. who told
of the many advantages in the pre-
sent age for learning as compared
with those of years ago. and that
these advantages wore being availed
of to good effect.
This toast was responded to by Dr.
Malloy. The Dr. gave a very witty
address on the life of man from his
birth until his estate is settled some
time after his death. and how the
different professions figure in bis
career through life. The doctor is
first called in to look after his safe
arrival. Ile is then handed over to
the minister for baptism; the teacher
then follows giving hint his education

casionally called in to Saar some nil -ins longer. ran' begorr-v 1 ouz just

his excellent character as he lowers
him into the grave, and then comes
the lawyer to interpret the will he
grade out himself.
"Our Business interests" was pro-
posed by Mr. Joseph Senior and res-
ponded to by Messrs. J. A. Stewart
and tiaxun l itton.
311. Stewart very facetiously spoke
of the difficulties it, securing point-
ers for his address. and at the sug-
gestion of some friend had gone
around town searching for them. but
could find nothing but mongrels.

singer of exceptional ability (?)
31r. Fitton followed the Fast speaker
and gave a very interesting talk on
the business interests of the town;
tWhat good things etre in store for the
torn ►when we get better railway fa-
cilities. and also advocated having an
sold Ross"' r.•'nion. at tthich Mr.
Martin will have the pleasure of at-
tending.
\1r. 11. E. Ruston in proposing ('.in-

assigned to that duty hectors• 11,• is

J. (. Stanbury, but as the Hour was
getting late and the lights getting
tired, he asked that the toast be
drank wothout any farntr►1 remarks.
This toast was responded to by J.
J. White, who gave a short history
of the art of printing from the time
it was introduced into England in the
Ilth century to the present time,
stating that the press had been the
most important factor in giving us
the religious and political freedom
which we enjoy to day.
The toast to "The Ladies" was pro-
uosed by 31r. W. W. Taman, to
whom usually falls the duty of res-
ponding. 51r. Taman gave a ver)
pretty word picture of the weaker
sex, who are always to be on equal-
ity with man, and whom man is sup-
posed to protect.
Bev. 14 Urquhart, of Kippen, bach-
elor minister, was the first to res-
pond to this toast and gave a beauti-
ful address, .a n hicb he spoke of
Vas 'Ealy ' twirl/ tht heroine in all
stags of history and with all writ-
ers. rt f( rring to Shakespeare, Dante
and other prominent writers of past
ages. who always spoke feelingly of
the fair sea. 110 very touchingly re-
ferred to the "lady" o5k the Exeter
Moose, ►who for twenty sax years she
has been in Exeter has b, en the guid-
ing spirit of her husband. and the
counsellor of her children.
Rev. It. G. -McKay. of Cromarty
gave a shoat speech, in which h:•
spoke very highly of the ladies.
„Our Guest. Bev. W. 31. Martin,"
was proposed by Rev. Colin Fletcher.
Mr. Fletcher said he h:td :t longer
acquaintanceship with 5L. Martin
than any one present. Ile knew him
when he attended collets and while
he always took an active interest in
games and sports it the college, he
always kept in mind the high ideals
to which he was aspiring and during
his entire life h:td followed the stone
Christian spirit. Ile bad been the
guiding spirit of his congreg:ttibu,
had sympathized with then, in their
sorrows :and beamed 011 010111 in their
joyous moments. As :t lather he had
brought his fancily up in a manner
that reflects the greatest credit up-
on hits and themselves, on.• of whom,.

Anna being oae of Exeter's most es-
timable voting ladies :arid for Beattie
the youngest of 11e ftmily. he pre-
dicted a more illustrious facture than
any of the others.
:Mr. Martin was greeted with con-
siderable applause. o hen he arose to
make his reply. ]le thanked the citi-
zens of Exeter for the kindly expres-
sions they had tendered hint and his
family :and that a taunt spot herald
always he reserved in his heart for
t he people of Exeter.
