Wednesday, May 13, 1925 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE ;^ '1^: W^W What We Have to Offer NO ONE Chartered Bank in Canada has anything greater to offer the business community than its eontem- poraries unless it be in the character of the service it rendera. During the half-century of its life, the Standard Banii has developed a distinct individ- unlity through the kind of service maintained in its dailf transactions. The ..commercial aspect ..of this in- dividuality is found in the many un- ique services for which the Standard Bank is peculiarly equipped. THE I stAhdard bank OF canAda. FLESHERTON BRANCHâ€" C. F.

On Thursday' evening last the united congregations ' of the Methodist and 'Presbyterian] churchas, met in the High School andi after a somewhat protracted session j the vote was taken. The ballots j showed the Methodists to favour the' Committee's report, with an 80 â€" 6| vot»2, a majority of 74, while the Pres byterians followed with a 34 â€" li] vote, a majority of 21. The meeting opened with W. H. ) Bunt in the chair. Joseph McKee read the report of the committee, and the reasons why the committee decid- ed as tJiey did, were minutely explain- ed by T. R. McKenzie. He showed the Methodist church was better sit- uated, being in a more quiet place had a better organ, better sheds, and a basement more adapted to Sunday school work. The Methodist parson- age will be used as the minists^ res- idence, because it is more modern and is owned by the Methodist Congre- gation, while the; Pserbyterians own only a percentage of the Manse. Rev. Mr. narrower, the Presbj'terian minister was chosen as pastor for the reason that thi Presbyterians are giv- ing up their church and manse and should be compromised by the reten- tion of their minister. At the present tir.ie the two con- gregations are connected with Eugen- ia, Inistoge and Proton. Eugenia is to be retained because it is more easi- ly reached, and no other appointment could be easily made for her. Inis- tioge and Proton can be linked with another appointmertt and will be car- ried for the present year. Servioa is to be in the local church morning and evening and at Eugenia in the after- noon. Tha Presbytery meets on Tuesday next and the Owen Sound Methodist District meeting will convene on the week following. It will be neoassaiy to apply to these to sanction the ar- rangements, after which a united con- gregational meeting will be held to appoint officers, with the exception of the stewards and elders, who re- tain their offioss.
