We have cer- tainly passed through a very disagreeable season since early in July. PRESBYTERIAN ANNIVERSARY Anniversary services were held in the Presbyterian church on Sun- day and Monday. The Sunday services were conducted by _the Rev. Mr. Brown, of Fergus, and Mr. Brown’s Work at Fergus was taken care of by Dr. Farquharson. At the meeting on Monday ev- ening, Dr. Farquharson reviewed the history of the church here, but with particular 7 reference to the thirteen years during which he held the position of pastor. Great changes had occurred since his induction. Many then living had since passed to their long home, many had left the town and ecome identified with other con- gregations. The church had been enlar,ged sheds had been built. more land had been acquired, a manse had been purchased, and a ppie orgah installed. Notwith- standing all this outlay, the church is free from debt, with the exception of six or seven hundred dollars. i Rev. Mr. Brown, who preached 'on Sunday, remained over to give fan address on “Our Flag.” After some preliminary remarks on the .origin of flags, banners, and pen- nants, backed up by scriptural ireferences he went on to show how St.~George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick Were adopted as the [patron saints of England, Scotland 'and Ireland respectively. Contin- uing, he explained the political unions of England and Scotland and the union in the united flags of the crosses of the patron saints. The union of Ireland to England and Scotland required that the cross of St. Patrick should find a place on the nation’s flag, and be joined harmoniously with the other tWO. The trinity of crosses forming the flag of the great em- pire, of which we form a part, has significance in its every line and color. The red cross} St. George on a white field is em- blematic of purity and courage, and so on with the .others. Each, too, is suggestive of historical dates when great political changes took place. Thirteen years ago, the total contributions amounted to about' $1700.00. Since then large additions ‘ had been made to the member-- ship, which has been nearly doub- led, keeping pace with the great increase in the cost of living. Over four~ hundred members had been added to the church by card and profession of faith. Many of these : had died, and withdrawn, but the net increase for the time was con- siderably .over a hundred, the present membership being 340. . The highest number ever enrolled | was 372, it We caught the figures- correctly. These and other statis- tics showing material and spiritu- f al advancement in the congrega- tion must have been highly grati- 1 tying to the members present. - .â€"-.â€" ._ _.-_ The choir was in good form, and sang a number of well-chosen anthems. A 3010 was sung by Mr. Telford, and a duet. by Mrs We have not learned. A hearty vote of thanks was proposed by Inspector Campbell, seconded by Mr. Telford, and tendered to Mr. Brown, for his very able address. The National Anthem by the congregation, , and the benedic- tion by Dr. Farquharson, brought the meeting to a close. Councillor Lindsay deserves highest praise for the long stretch of . good gravelling done‘ on Lambton street. Now, if the Town Fathers would apply the same treatment to that portion lying between the railway subway ,and the foothill, they’d do a most meritorious act.
