E..M, Gischler of Listowel: Af- ter five years’ of diligent work in the Lord's service, as pastor of Zion Evangelical church, Rev. A. D. Gisch- ler is giving up his charge owing to the strain on his health, which he will endeavor to regain by light duties the coming year. The work has proved too strenuous. according to the reverend gentleman, as he takes charge of three services and Sunday school every Sunday to say nothing of the numerous other meet- ings and clerical duties during the week. Rev. Gischler announced to his congregation at the Sunday morn- ing service his intentions not to re- main for the sixth year owing to the above reasons.~ ~i1— _ Harriston Review—An official cir- cular received by Postmaster Mc- Cready, contains the following clause, which will be rigidly and impartially enforced: ““Postmasters are warned against allowing notices, other than Post, Office Notices, from being ex- hibited in the lobby of the Post Office. Tlte Department is aware that pressure is often brought to bear upon the Postmasters to exhibit notices of meetings for charitable ard religious purposes, “‘Lost” and “Found” notices, etc., but it Is cen- sidered that the Post Office proper should be given up wholly to the Post Office, in order that the official notices of the Department may re- ceive the undivided attention which the puble interests require."
