Was Inducted on trent Ant op By the Presbytery of Kingston---The Old Scotch Kirk Has a Extending Over 108 Years---An Irish Minister Succeeds Five Scotch Clergy- men in St. Andrew's. ---------- Rev, 8. J. M, Compton, M.A, BD, . Ballymoney, Ireland, was, on Tues ay evenipg, inducted as pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterinn church, and a very large congregation assembled for the service. In the absence of Rev. MH. Drupam, Belleville, moderator of the Kingston presbytery, Mev Dr. Macgillivray, of Kingston, acted in his stead. Rev. J. W. Mcintosh, of Cooke's church, conducted the opening exercises, prevented, as well as the other byterian churches of the city, other denominations The service was res and also a most impressive one. Rev. J. W. NMelntosh preached the sermon, Rev, Prof. Robert Laird addressed the minister and Rov. J. D Boyd addressed the congregation. The choir ably assisted in the service of praise, Rev. Mr. McIntosh delivered au elo- | quent sermon, basing his remarks upon B.D, y eset et i « Matthew. xvi, 465 "And Simon P answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Bon of the living God." The preacher pointed out {he import ance of the Christian: church. The church must bo regarded as & neces sity, not an option; as a voice, not ds an ocho; as un altar and not as a counter, rich in trothfulness. A great many "patronized" the church, as they termed it, according to the treatment they recvived, at the hands of the church. In fact, their attendance at church depended pn the treatment they received. Thoth was reason for wonder at the sellimportance. Some consider ed that they were doing the church a great favor by their attendance. We should realise that our conneciion with the church would mean very little to the future of the chuPeh, but would mean a great deal tg our own life, Many rejected the advice of the chureh, if it did not just suit their own mind Ie must be remiombwered that the church was not for the expression of popular opinion, that it was not always agreenble message we would hear. was for the hearing of the God, REV. 8 4M, COMPTON an It truth of The Induction Cereriony. The induction of the new minister followed the sermon. Rev. John Fair lie, modoratgr of the Kirk session, gave a resume of the proeseedings dealing with the call extended to Rev. Mr. Compton, after which the Iatter was introduced by Rev, W, T. Wilkins, M.A. Trenton, clerk of the Kingston presbitery. Rev. Dr. Mac gilliveay then asked the usual ques tions of the new minister, after whith The presbytery was well ré - _- ms mp---- Compton, M.A, B.D, Tuesday Evening. Mr. Compton was inducted and given the right haml of fellosship, hy the members of the presbytery and the Kirk session. Rev. Prof. Laird, in his address to the new minister, congratulated him on his call, and reminded him of the fact that he entered upon his new du- a most eritical ada's history<~at a time when was a great call for leadership. The speaker impressed upon the minister) the great responsibility of his work--| that of stimulating men to higher ac- tion, 5 | hie 'address was a masterly effort, embracing as it did, all the solemn obligations undertaken by the minis fer. -- Rev, J. D. the congregation, people of St. Andrew's on the busi- ness manner in which they had ex tended the call, and the success which had crowned their efforts, The speaker wished the new minister unstinted success in his charge. The church had in the past taken no small part in the moulding. of the life of the young people; and he expressed the hope that the future would be still more noble and prosperous. "lhere hes at your door," added the speaker, "a splendid field of vice, not only among vour own numerous families, but also among the many students and military in our midst, and summer visitors, Our religious work, for a city the size. of Ki sn, has been made difficult, We avy reluctantly parted with a large funther of our most progressive citi- zeus, und three-quarters of our youth leave their teens." The speaker appealed for a more consecrated effort, on the part of 'the people, to give a definite and vital place to the young and the strangers within our gates, The city was now facing an era of industrial expansion and all this tended to augment the moral and religious problem. Rev. Mr. Boyd also made a strong appeal for more active work, in the outlying districts of the city. "1 am not ignorant: of much that is being accomplished." said Rev, Mr. Boyd, "but I wish to urge my fellow Presbyterians to a more or: ganized and urgent struggle against deeply-rooted evils." At the close of the service, Rev. Mr. Compton took up his position at the main entrance and the members of the congregation had an opportun ity of giving their new minister a hearty handshake. ties at there Joyd, in his address congratulated to the ser- us in History of St, Andrew's. For the past century St. Andrew's church congregations of several gene- rations have worshipped on the groand now occupied by the Scotch kirk, at the corner of Princess and Ulergy streets Rev, Mr. Macdowall, to whose me mory a church at Adelphusttown was restored some years ago, preached Preshyterian doetrine in Kingston and the district about 1800. Presby- terian clergymen continued to preach here at frequent periods until 1820, when a church was looked upon as necessary and St. Andrew's was 3 gun. The site of the church was at that time covered with pine trees, which had to be eut down and re- moved. The people had only half of the present beswtiful grounds. Revi. John Barclay was the first Presbyterian minister settled .in King. ston. He was ordained over the St, Andrew's congregation 'by the pres bytery of Edinburgh, (who had been requested to make the appointment), on September 26th, 1821, and he died in the same month in the fiith year of his ministry, in the flower of his manhood, deeply regretted by his con- Yereuntion.

Charles Patterson, of the Harrow smith gang, was on top shovelling snow back, which was being passed up to him from below, met with what might have proved a very serious accident. He fost his footing and fell a distance of about fifteen feet, when he was stopped by the quick presence of mind of 8. Hicks, of Sydenham, and James Boyce, of Harrowsmith, who saw him coming. They stuck their shovels deep in the snow and held him till Charles Smith, of Sy- denham, made steps in the snow, worked his way above and seized Mr, Patterson by the coat collar, and helped him up to where he could re- gain his footing. Had he not been stopped, Mr. [Patterson would have fallen a distance of about thirty-five feet down the steep embankment and probably been killed or seriously in- jured by striking on the rails below.
