Na- ture did her part in splendid fashion, the day throughout proving ideal,. Dr. Bryce of Toronto, the special speaker, began his services by a very appropriate address to the Stutday School, which has been functioning splendidly under the guidance of the superintendent, Mr. John McNay and his assistant, Mr. Earle Webster. Dr. Bryce's text at the morning service. was Psalm 110, verse 7, "He shall drink of the brook ,by the way, therefore shall he lift up the head." He referred tosome of the many brooks that God had caused to spring up along life's pathway far the refresh- ment of His people, stressing partic- ularly, prayer, God's. Word, God's House, and the privilege of doing goad. The large congregation which completely filled the auditorium and gallery, were most responsive and sympathetic to his stirring appeal and challenge.. At this service a memorial hymn, written by Miss H. I. Graham, daugh- ter of the first pastor of the congre- gation was sung. At 17 p.nt:, the church was almost filled For the half-hour song service, during which many old favorites among the hymns were e"ung By the ,time for the regular service at 7-30 p.m. even the aisles were filled with an expectant and eager congregation.

Seaforth,. Rev. W. P. Lane, Rev, W. A, Bremner, Rev. R, R Conner, and Rev. John Smith were present, Dr. Bryce's' evening sermon was based on John 1-14 from which he drew a wonderful picture,of the beau- ty and attractiveness of the Saviour and commended this Saviour in the, most unqualified terms to all and es- pccially to the young. Both morning and night Dr. Bryce's sermon's were of the very highest order and were en- hanced by his winning and gracious Personality. The musicalpartof the services was also veryfine.

A presentalendidstion wsa made during. the programme on Wednesday even- ing vening to Mrs. Ben. Johnson, who has been choir leader and organist for se- veral years. Following address was read by Mr. John MoNay; Dear Mrs, Johnson. --It is with the very keenest regret that we, as a con- gregation, feel that the time has come. to say good-bye, and that the happy relations that have existed for the past two years must cease. During those two years, both by your per- sonal qualities, and d Y our faithfulness i and Y efficfenc as choir -leader and or- ganist, you have endeared yourself to all who have the interests of our church at heart, No effort or sacrifice ever seemed too great, if thereby you felt that tine welfare of the congre- gation could be advanced. During your term of leadership, the service of praise has been a constant source of inspiration, andyour example and in- fluence have secured in your choir a decorum that oftentimes is sadly lacking. By your faith in their pos- sibilities, as well as by your kindly and efficient leadership, you have brought fortis in your choir members talents of which they themselves were not aware. and which will prove a real blessing in their lives; and beyond all this is the influence ofyour personal friendship which cannot be measured in words but which will find expres- sion Y r0s-Sion in the yes of those vof h whom you have had such fellowship. We feel very sure that the friend- ships thus established' will not be broken, and we trust that in the Pro- vidence of God a still larger sphere of Influence may be opened up for you, in your new surroundings. Whenever you can conte back to our midst,whe- ther your visit be for long or short duration, you may rest assurred that a very warm welcome will be await - t ing•you, As just a very slight token of the love and esteetn im which you are field by our congregation, we ask that yotz would accept this purse, which may serve to remind You of our hap- py days together in Egmondville. May God's richest blessing and choicest gifts rest upon yourself and husband and child in the corning drays and may He use you greatly in His service.
