orable days for the congregation and
members of the Union Methodist
church, 12th con., Grey Township.
The Committee in charge of the "01cl
Boys" Reunion worked very hard to
make their anniversary one to be re-
membered. Wet weather militated
somewhat against them but despite
the unfavorable conditious the anni-
versary was a splendid success.
Three large and enthusiastic con-
gregations gathered on Sunday to
listen to the various speakers who
came t0 preach to
them. Lt the morn-
ing
or -in Rev. R. J. McCormick,
0or l
ek M. Alof
Holmesville, delivered in $ne style a
very classical sermon on "The great-
ness of service." His breadth of vision
and depth of thought, combined with
a genial and commanding personality.
enabled him to strike a high note for
the services of the day. At the after-
noon service a very large congregation
gathered to listen to Rev. J. E. Hunt-
er, of Dungannon, a former junior
pastor of tbe Etbel circuit. Mr. Hunt-
er preached a very thoughtful and
well prepared sermon on "The philoso-
phy of roan," "what he is and what he
may be." In the evening abort 800
people assembled to listen to Rev. E.
F. Armstrong, B. A., B. D., of Obat-
ham, a former much beloved pastor,
who gave a very eloquent sermon on
"The principle of Reccr
ver ." Rev. J.
0. Reid, B. D., of Wallaceburg, spoke
briefly also at the afternoon service
and in the evening Rev. Rubs. Pear -
80n, B. A., of Red Deer, Alberta, gave
a short address.
Monday afternoon and evening.
about 1,000 people gathered to enjoy
the aftex'noou sports and the concert
in the evening. In the evening ad-
dresses were delivered by Revs. J W.
Hibbert, Gorrie • Robert Pearson, Red
Deer, Alta, ; and E, F. Armstrong, of
Chatham. Music was given by Miss
Spence and bars. S. Kreuter, Ethel ;
Mr. Jones, Chicago and the Young
Men's Bible Class and orchestra,

gregation now entered very enthasias-
tically upon the work of church build-
ing and everything points to unbound-
ed success in the enterprise.

portunity of celebrating their 50th
wedding anniversary, or what is
known as the Golden Wedding, but
to George and Mrs. Pollard came this
pleasaut experience at their home in
Brussels Monday of last week. Per-
haps more remarkable than being
spared to enjoy such a celebration is
the fact that. their children, (six sons
and three daughters) are all living,
six of whom were present on this glad
occasion. All enjoy the best of health
and are prospering. To say that the
home gathering was one of delight
and unmixed pleasure to the 46 who
assembled is not overstating the
case and the meeting will never be
forgotten. Mr. Pollard first saw the
light of day i.n the Emerald Isle on
January 1st, 1829, and if spared till
next January will locoed his 8411)
birthday. His good wife, whose
maiden name was Urania Station was
born in Cornwall, England, 76 years
ago last Marcie. Both found their
way to Canada in their youth locat-
ing }n Perth county, where in the
township of Logan 54 years ago,
on September 2411x they were joined
together in matrimony by Rev. Mr,
Evans. They continued to make their
home in Logan and Hibbort townships
until 1896, when they purchased a
farm in Morris township, Huron
county and eight years ago the old
font decided to take a well-earned rest
and moved to Brussels.
Their children are ; Henry, of
