Not for "a period o forty-one years, when tlle Rev. Dr. Love was given the charge of St. Andrew's Church, has there beeii witnessed such an impressive service as was il held in the sacred edifice Tuesday evening, when the Rev. Dr. Alexan- der M. Gordon, D.S.0., M.C., of King- ston, Ont., was inducted minister of There was a very large congregation present, which included a number of adher- ents 'of other churches in the An- cient Capital, and all were deeply moved by the solemnity of the oc- casion, but through it all could be discerned a feeling of gladness that the active pastorship of the church was to be asspymed by one who was although yet a young man, an out- standing figure in the Presbyterian Church of Canada. In addition to the congregation the following clergymen were pre- sent at the service: Rev. Alfred Bright, B.A.,, B.D., of Sherbrooke, Moderator of the Presbytery of Quebec; Rev. T. B. MeCorkindale, of Levis; Rev, Dr. A. T. Love, reti ing pastor; Rev. Moderator of the Presbytery of Montreal; Rev. G. H. Donald, Rev. Dr. G. H. Ross, Rev. I. A, Montgom- ery, Rev. G. Allan, Rev. Gordon Dun- can, Rev, G. C, Heine, Rev. J. J. McCaskill, Rev. G. C. Taylor, Rev. J. G. Potter, Rev. J. D. McKenzie, Rev. W. 8. Taylor, Rev. W. L. Wil- liams, Rev. A. 8S. Reid and the Rev. G. W. Mingle, of Montreal. The service which 'was presided over by the Rev.. Alfred Bright, opened with the singing of a Psalm following which Mr. Robert Stewart, Clerk of the Quebec. Presbytery, read messages from the Rev. Ephraim Scott, D.D., Moderator of the Gen- eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada; Rev. Robert Johnston, Moderator, and Rev. F. Baird, Clerk of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces; Rev. John W. Stephen, Moderator, and Rev. R. J. Craig, Clerk of the Kingston Pres- bytery; and the following from Principal Fraser, of the Presbyter- fan College, Montreal: "I am 'extremely sorry that my physician absolutely forbids my go- ing to Quebec on the 12th fnstant to'] take part in the induction of Dr. Gordon, I should very much like to be with you for several reasons. "In the first place I have been intimate with members of his fam- ily for many years. I have enjoyed many visits to the old Gordon home in Piletou where his grandmother pensed gracious hospitality, and I have received kind welcomes from his .parents to their homes in Hatt- fax and Kingston. "In the second place I was in- timately associated with him in the oversight of the Church of St. An- drew and St. Paul during the recent vacancy, and also in the carrying on of the work in Chalmers' House, and I should like to testify to the fidelity of his services and to the esteem and affection he won from all classes. "In the third place I am con- fident that with his inheritance of the best Scottish traditions and with his splendid military record he is especially qualified to minister to the historical St. Andrew's Kirk, and to fake his place as our representa- tative in The ancient and historic eity of Quebec. "When I was ordained and induct- ed more than thirty years ago the Charge was given to me by Dr. Gor- don's distinguished father, then Minister of St. Andrew's, Halifax, and later Principal of Queen's Uni- versity, and I still remember the texts he took as the basis of his im- pressive address on the 'Ideal Min- ister." "I am sure that his son will keep this high ideal before him in his ministry, and I wish him and St. An- drew's congregation God-speed in their new adventure." M. M. Campbell Darysadn ure APP $656,000,000 of ife insurance was purchased by [lite Jno people last year. This is an evidence that the investing pub- je still turn' to life assurande not .only for the protection it affords but tas a safe investment which pays a {good rate of interest. lot the flourishing condition of life {assurance in Canada was given by iMr. G. A. Morrow, President of the An indication Imperial Life Assurance Company {of Canada; in presenting the Direc- i tors' Report at the annual meeting of the Company held in Toronto on January 13th. This Company, to- gether with the majority of life com- panies throughout the Dominion, is enjoying marked prosperity. The new assurances issued by the Imperial Life Assurance Company in 1925 amounted to $33,217,307.00. To-day the total amount of assurance in force is $195,068,289.00. This is an increase during the year of $19, 000,033.00. The yearly gain made last year in assets was the greatest in the history of the Company. These now total $35,047,398.35, having been in- creased during the year by $3,808,- 203.16. The benefits disbursed dur- ing 1925 to policyholders and their representatives comprising death claims, matured endowments, divi- dends, etc., amounted to $3,111, 364.20 and were $254,180.56 in ex- cess of those of the previous year. The policy and annuity reserves of the Company amount to $29,480,- 492.00. These millions of dollars of Reserves are calculated on so strong a basis that interest earnings of only three per cen. are sufficient to main- tain them. The average rate of in- est earned by the Company on its in- vested assets, however, was 6.23%. Policyholders of the Imperial Life have ample reason for gratification at the rapid and healthy progress which the Company continues to make from year to year. NAPANEE ARRANGING SOME HOCKEY GAMES The Bay of Quinte League Is Not Operating This Winter. Napanee, Jan. 15.--For the past four years, Napanee has operated a team in the Bay of Quinte Hockey League. This year, with the prospects of one of the best teams that has ever represented this town, they are found to have a team, but no league to play in. Efforts to reorganize the league have failed. 'The Young Irishmen of Kingston, who have held the championship for the last two years, are unable to compete this year. Point Anne who have always furnished strong opposition in the past have no team. FOr a time it was thought that the Grand Trunks of Belleville would enter a team and along with Picton end Napanee would have given the fans the de- sired hockey. The Bay of Quinte League has developed some fast players and several men who per- formed in the league are making a n for themselves in' the inter- moginte ranks of the O.H.A. e first exhibition game of the season 'will be played in the Napa- nee arena on Friday night between Picton and Napanee. Napanee boasts of some fast material this year. Of last years' team, Naphin, Huffman, Johnston, Bentley are left and in addition, Tommy Kirny of Kingston, Bill Houle of Deseronto, McGarry of Perth seniors and Shoemaker Guelph are trying out for positions. They are fast and shtould give any team a battle, - ~~ With the breaking up of the Bay of Quinte league, Napanee are de- voting their efforts to a town league and will be composed of three teams, Gibbard's, "B" Co. Frontenac Regt., and The St. Pats. All three teams have excellent material and there will be some mighty battles in the town league t winter. Exhibition games are being arranged, and even though Napanee is not in a league, there will be plenty of sport. It 1s to be regretted that the Bay of Quinte league is unable to operate this year, as prospects were never brighter in this town for a winning team. Mrs. W. D. Hunter and baby Joyce are spending a few days in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. 'Bert Andrews leave on Saturday for Peterboro, where they will make their home. of GANANOQUE | Ganahogue, Jan. 15.--~The Mili- tary Euchre put on by Miss N.
