Wingham Into Pastorate of Melville Congregation Happily 'Consummated Thursday afternoon of last week was the date set for the interesting service of the Induction of Rev, J. P. McLeod, recenlIrof Wyoming, as pas- tor of Melville church, Brussels. There was a large and interested con- gregation present and the service was one of benefit and encouragement. Rev, Dr'. Harkness, Wroxeter, was the preacher for the afternoon and gave a well planned, thoughtful dis- course full of practical suggestions and comfort from St. John, 0th chap, and verses 8 to 11 inclusive, The Moderator Rev, Me. McCallum, Lucknow, followed with the putting of the customet'y questions to the in- coming pastors who on answering was duly installed into the charge and was welcomed to the new post of duty by the clerical brethren of Maitland Presbytery. It fell to the lot of Rev. Mr, Tate, Bluevale, to address the pastor and he did it well. Office of the ministry was a great and holy task, a lofty mission REV, J. P. MeLEOD, B. A„' THE NEW PASTOR dealing with the Bouts of men and careful study of Christ's plans and those of the apostles was advised. It is a story of good news telling, pre- senting an ideal character, truth or- ganized in personality. Daniel Web- ster and Lord Shaftsbury were cited in word and deed as exponents. of this r td The good newss is a glorious reality and dealing with God and Christ deals with the art of right living. The ministry is no easy task and calls on all the powers a man possesses, }yub- lie duties are many but way is set with dangers and tempations, with the thought sometimes of making life more a garden then a battlefield or making the study more a workshop than an upper room. Culture of soul and making time for prayer, fencing off hours for devotion were suggested and after reference to the life of Dr, Bonner and his zeal and faith in God the speaker wished the new pastor a fruitful ministryamidst splendid op. portunities. Rev. Dr, Perrie, the interim Moder- ator, was asked to address the congre- tion and hie well seasoned, practical advice will no doubt bear fruit, The people should be loyal and sym- pathetic and give expression of the religious life of the congregation. Social evenings should not be permit- ted to conflict with the mid -week ser- vices. tPastor is a called man, and should be looked upon as the leader. Church has a splendid Creed that should be studied and lived up to. Don't make needless demands on the pastor, Speak to him when you meet and tell him who you are. Respect biro and epeak approvingly of him and his work, Be the priest and priestess of your own household, speak to your children of religious things and prove God fearing parents. Dr. Perrie, who is a son of the con- gregation, congratulated the people on their past record and hoped the coining of Rev, Mr, McLeod, under God, would prove a great blessing to all concerned. Congratulatorylletter was read by Rev. Mr, Mcdellum from Rev. and Mrs. Mann, of Newmarket. Brief words of good cheer and optimism were spoken by the Moder- ator and the enjoyable services of the afternoon were concluded by a hymn and the Benediction, The choir ren- dered good service. The new pastor took his station at the door, and in- troduced by Rev, Dr, Perrin and Elder Rnbt. Straclhau, was given the tight hand of welcome to the congregation, A most excellent supper was served in the Lecture room by the ladies and their catering would be difficult to equal either in quantity, quality or service, The sootal hour was much enjoyed. Among the members of Presbytery present, in addition to those who took part In the afternoon's service were :— Revd, Messrs, Bradley, Teeswater Bell, Molesworth ; 'Stobie, White- church ; Sinclair, Delmore ; Janes, Belgrave ; and Kennedy, Cranbrook, `I Can't Afford 11:' This interesting, humorous and Well planned Play will be given in the TOWN HALL BRUSSELS, Underauspices St, John's Church Choir friday ev'g, May llth By eelgraue Young People Literary and Musical Numbers between Acts.

Clark, Walton and R. Strachan, Brussels. At 7,30 p, m. the congregational welcome program was continued, Rev. Dr, Perris presiding. After an an- them from the choir, short, con- gratulatory addresses .were given by Rev. Mr, Johnson, rector of St,. John's Anglican church ; Rev. Mr. Stafford, pastor of the Methodist church ; and W. H. Kerr, of Tan POST, which were replied to briefly by Rev, Mr. McLeod, who heartily thank- ed all for the kind works, and friend- liness shown Mrs. McLeod, and himself. They certainly esteemed the goodwill tendered so generously, While he felt very humble he hoped by the blessing of God to prove a blessing to the congregation and com- munity in the Master's work, He wanted to be Lead in the best way and desired to do all for the glory of God. B. S. Scott woe called upon and in well chosen words expressed the thanks of the congregation to Rev. Mr. Stafford for his ready help during the interim since Rev. Mr, Mann moved from ;own. Elder Stewart seconded the resolution and it was heartily supported by the audience. In addition to the anthems Miss Isabel Strachan and Mrs. Meadows gave choice solos and a fine quartette was rendered by Miss Verne Wolker, Mrs. R. Thomson, A. Strachan and J. Fox. The Doxology and Benediction, by Rev. D. B. McRae, of Kincardine, brought to a close a happy and help- ful occasion and called up memories of past gatheringsof a similar character when Rev. Dr. Ross now of Toronto • Rev. A. C. Wishart, a pastor in Cal- gary now and Rev. Mr, Mann recently called to Newmarket, were inducted. Rev. Dr. Ferguson was the first settled pastor of the congregation. Melville church is in many reepects a most desirable charge. The new church, nearly clear of debt, is mod- ern, comfortable, well located and fitted out with many conveniences. A commodious manse and a epaciont horse shed complete the comforts and conveniences. The membershipis well up toward 500, salary paid pastor is $1800, a new pipe organ leads the praises of the fine choir. All church tends are generously supported and the record is one of which the congre- gation might well be proud and an- xious to not ouly maintain but out -do.

The creation of right public sentiment and tbo growth and duty of the church were plainly and forcibly pointed out if true progress is to be made. Moses, Elij ih, Jesus and Paul were instances of men with a great pur- pose who served loyally and inspired folk to do better.
