REV. A. 0. WISHART, B. A.,
THE NEW PASTOR.
A. a epeoial meeting of Maitland Pres-
bytery held on Thursday afternuon of
this week, with Moderator Perrin pre-
iding, Rev. A. 0. Wishart, B, A., late
of Beaverton, Out., was inducted as
pastor of Melville church, Brussels, in
the presence of a large and interested
oongregation. Rev. D. Tait, of Tees -

course ; brotherly words of advice and
counsel were spoken by Rev. D. B. Mc-
Rae, of Oraobrook, to the incoming
pastor ; and upon Rev. J. J. Hustle, ofd.
Belgrave, came Ole responsibility of ad-
dressing the people, which duty he per-
formed wisely and well,
Hearty co0gratulatione were extended
to Rev. Mr. Wishart by both preachers
and people and the reverend gentleman
enters upon hie work under most favor-
able seeping and with a bright outlook.
This congregation has a most praise-
worthy record and hae enjoyed and
prospered - wonderfully under the
services of admirable men, whose long
and harmonious pastorates were the
beet proofs of the splendid work done,
while the results achieved were self evi-
dent, Inductions would never grow
common or wearisome if pastorates were
as long continued as those of Mr. Wis-
hart'e predecessors in Melville church.
The new pastor will not only enjoy
the good wishes of his own congregation
but may depend on the hearty co-opera-
tion of the slater °hutches and pastors
and the oommnnity generally in the ad-
vancement of any and every good cause.
Tan Pose voices the sentiments of the
people iu general in extending a hearty
welcome to Mr. and 1vliss Wished.

already by hie two visite here during the
vacancy. Rev. Mr. Wishart arrived in
Brussels on Wednesday morning and has
his household goods moved into the
manse -which has been put iu flrat-olaoe
shape by the Board of Managers.
AN HISTORICAL SIERTOH,
The history of this o1urch oalled after
the eminent Scottish divine, Rev. Andrew
Melville, dates book to the year 1854
when service was held in private houses
and in the bneh in the Summer season,
The first preacher was a student from
Knox College named Donald McLean,
who died shortly after he left thie sta-
tion. Then followed Alex. McKay, Rev.
Dr. Fletcher and other students who
supplied three months of the year while
College was closed. There was also en
occasional sermon preached during the
year, but nothing regular. In 1857 an
aore of land was bought on Queen and
Turnberry streets from Thomas Halliday
for 05 and the frame of a church 80x40
feet raised. The building was not finish-
ed until the following year, and work was
principally volunteer labor. The two
first elderrs Were VDoaald MoLanehlin
and Gilbert McCallum, Rev. John
Ferguson, from Glengarry Go., wits
inducted in the year 1864 and put in 15
years of faithful service. His salary at
the commencement was 6500 with a free
hoose, whioh was inoreaaed to 9800 before
he left, During the first few years of
Rev. Mr. Ferguson's pastorate ho also
preaohed at Oranbrook and Walton, oou-
dnoting 55101050 in both Gallie aiid Eng-
lish. The Brussels oongredabion inertias -
ed in size and strength, until in, 1872 old
Melville church was thought too small
and a site for building was looked for.
This was scoured from''. McMichael on
William street, and oontained A. of an
acreo,the price paid for it being 0130.
Thtybriok for the church WAS made by
Thos. Ainley and the contract given to
Thos. Brow& of Oranbrook, , the amount
of the contract being 04500. Of this sum
there was 62,600,1geoured before commenc-
ing to build and `the balance was borrowed
from a Trust and Loan Co. in Hamilton,
an annual instalment with interest com-
ing due on the first of April every year.
To the credit of the oongreggbion it is to
be said that the last paymehb was made
in April of 1882,o that the oburoh is
entirely free froth debt at the present

KNOX OHDRCH.
Over 50.yeare ago the members of the
Presbyterian cause met and agreed on the
erection of a place of worship in the
village. The site obosen was the one
.where Watson Ainley's residence stands
on John street. Half sore of land was
purchased from the late John Koechtel
and a log church 28x40 feet built. Wm.
Grant, lata of Winnipeg, Jno. W.
Arnett, T. Straohan, and the late John
Kay, took a very motive part in the
parrying on of the enterprise, This was
the first church in Ainleyville, ;although
other denominations were also preaohing
in the neighborhood tet the time. For
some time the services were conducted
by probationers and students, the first
appointed pastor being Rev. W. 0. Young
-who Dame from Orono, in Clark town-
0bip. About 4r years ago Rev. Mr.
Young was oompe]led to resign his charge
on account of ill health In 1866 the new
church was built, the old one having
served its day, Thos. Walker, deceased,
of Morris, was the contractor and was
assisted by the late John Oormack. The
size of the building was 41030 feet. The
mention of the following elders will recall
to the minds of -the old people thongbbe
of early days and no doubt very pleasant
memories of good times spent in Knox
ohnroh :-W. Grant, Robert Taylor,
Thomas Strachan, Philip Betz and a
cumber of others whose names we are
not euro of. In 1866 or 67 Rev. Samuel
Jones was inducted. Mr. Jones oame
from St. Marys where he had been
connected with the Baptist oburoh pre-
viously. After a very enuoesefui pastor-
ate, extending over 20 years he tendered
his resignation, owing to increasing
years, and book a anperannuated relation.
Rev. G. Howie, a native of Palestine,
was called and labored for two years,
when he returned to the land of his
birth to enter the mission field. Mr.
Howie was succeeded by Rev. D. Miller,
who did excellent work for three years
and at the end of that time resigned.
The question of anion with Melville
oburoh was then taken up and happily
onsnmmated. Watson Ainley purchased
the church and lot and converted the
building into a dwelling house.
