THE FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING, Kingston Second Congregational Church to Celebrate This Event on . Sunday $1st. Four decades of life have been pass- ed by Bethel Congregational church, in Kingston, and the congregation will celebrate its fortieth anniversary of existence this Sunday, May 31st, at both 'services. The pastor, Rev, A. P. Mershon, will preach in Ottawa, so that Rev. D. N. Morden, pastor: of * Erskine Presbyterian church, Ottawa, at be the fortieth anniversary speak- er bere. Rev, Mr. Morden is a former pastor of Bethel church and is always gladly heard in this city. This church, now in the prime of life (speaking as of man), which was or- ganized on the outskirts of the city, now finds itself in almost the exact kéographical centre of the same city, with a fine location and enough ground for expansion of buildings when needed. The present buildings. were erected over thirty years ago, and are substantially the same in appearance and furnishings as at first. I'he church has no property or cur- rent expense debts, or any other kinds, and it is the home of a contented and thrifty congregation, who are always free from fret or. friction of finance, though a small people, because they give by weekly offering and tithe in suflicient quantity 'to meet the our- vent needs. Of late years the mis- sionary givings have increased, and the weekly. offerings to missions of 1914 have been double those of 1913 during the same period. The church has very little machinery, but ity few societies aim to be excellent in" their spheres. 'I'he Sunday Behool and the pulpit stand "committed to one work of soul-saving.
