(Mutton Mwino. —The congregation
of Burn's church held their annual
meeting on the t4th inet. The pestor
reported an addition of six during the
past year, while death had taken away
three and there were other losses
through removale. Tho total amount
raised for all purposes to 1902 was
11721.29. Of this sum, $041.75 misspent
in building a 60x120 closed -in shed.
This accommodation was very much
needed and is a great credit to all con-
cerned in its erection. For religious
and benevolent schemes there was paid
1858.49 ; 1192 of the latter sum was the
annual thankofferiug of the congrega-
tion; 169.76, the amount raised by the
auxiliary of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sion society, and 128, the giving of the
Sabbath school for mission purposes.
All the treasurers reported a balance on
hand, the united aunt being $194.52.
Through the very great kindness of the
congregation, the treasurer for stipend
shared his balance of 167 with the
lpastor, giving the latter, however, the
ion's share of it and thus reducing the
whole amount on hand to 1154.52. The
pastor wishes to express his hearty
thanks to the congregation for Ng act
of thoughtful kindness towards himself.
The treasurers, auditors and managers
were re -appointed and the manager@
were commissioned to make any repairs
at the manse that might be thought
necessary. The ladies added much to
the interest of the meeting ny their
presence, by the interest they took in
the business and by the lunch they so
generously provided.

'1'o Ma. AND Mite, WM. JACKSON : Dear
Friends,—We are assembled here this
evening as an indication of the gond
fel lowebipexisting in this neighborhood
between you and us. For long years
we have enjoyed your Mendable and
now have many regrets over the fact
of your expected removal in the near
future. That you will be greatly missed
is a certainty and especially will this be
;felt in connection with the church,
where, in the Sabbath school, as super-
intendent and teacher, and in the church
services as leader of praise, you so effi-
ciently, faithfully and punctually pre-
sided for years. We may not have
spoken as many cheery words to you
Ill the past as we ehould have, but we
certainly appreciated your valued and
earnest efforts and will, carry with us
pleasant memories of your devoted
work. As a tangible proof of our esteem
we ask your acceptance of this oak side-
board end hope it will often remind you
of the true friends you have in the
Jackson neighborhood. It is a pleasure
to know that your new home will be
located nearby, thereby often giving us]
the opportunity of meeting; with you as
the years go by. We wish you many
happy, pleasant years in Blyth and trust
that when these earthly friendship;
are severed, we may have so spent our
lives here that the happy ties will be
re -united in our Father's house on high.
Signed in behalf of the community by
Wm. Taylor and G. R. Stubbs."
