He certainly was when he wrote that epistle. - 1 read the letter and it had the same effect on me, and do you know, 1 don't know whether the heading was yours or the dizzy! one's, but I have not found any-; thing to be a little ashamed of in any of the things he mentioned or my connection with them, so if he expected to squelch me at one never take the name of Peter in vain again, I am afraid he does not know what a contrary cuss AR.A. is. Now sir, let us take this so-called Black List and go over it carefully. First we have the District Stal-' lion Association. There never: was such an association. There} was the Dry for IHorse Breeders', Association, there was anything wrong in my, dealings with this association is? merely a reflection on the honor- able judge who settled the issue.

Mr Beveridge for himself and his wife, accepted the gift which they would always prize sas a reminder of St. Luke's and of their life in Dryden. He thanked them very sincerely for their gift. Mr A. Burton, the people's warden. vin a very appropriate manner spoke oi ; the work done by Mr and Mrs Bever- idge during their stay in Dryden. He emphasized the great help of Mrs ' Beveridge especially, and the success i that attended everything she under- 'took. Not less splendid was the work jof Mr Beveridge for the church of ? 51 ; > but to even suggest; which he had been the mainst tay, al- ways ready to come to its aid when It was with mixed fecl- ings that he undertook to express the regret of the congregation in the loss .of two such valued members. He concluded by wishing them the best of health, happiness and long life to enjoy that which they had so weil {deserved by their lives amongst us. Mr F. M. Offer, Mr H. Humphreys {and Rev. Mr Dixon, concurred in the sentiments so well expressed by Mi :Burton, and added their personal i good wishes. Mr Beveridge again replied to the kind things that had been spoken, 'and said that anything he or his wife ihad done had been simply their duty to St. Luke's. The company then joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne," and many hand- 'shakings and good wishes extended to Mr and Mrs Beveridge expressed the goodwill of the congregation towards them.
