In riwiewing his pastorate he Spukt‘ very kindly of the Contin- “Ml and friendly relationship he- tween him and the members of the congregations during the whole per- it)”. It was gratifying to all to learn lhal. the church is now out of debt. :in encumbrance of over\$l.400 hav- ing been cleared away «luring: his incumbency. In referring to his successor he wished him every suc- cess and hoped that every member of the congregation would continue in their co-ol‘mration and achieve the best possible results. Mr. Hartly was popular with all classes and lived in a most friendly relationship with the ministers of his sister denomina- tions. He was a faithful worker for upbuilding of the Anglican denomin- ation and met with a goodly measure of success. On Friday night he was _recognized by St. Paul’s Church, Eg- remont, and on Saturday night by Trinity Church here. when a purse was presented on each occasion. He left by the G]. T. R. on Monday morn- ing for his new charge in Brantt‘ord, carrying with him the good wishes of the whole community. His suc- ’cessor here is Rev. J. H.

Radical labor leaders and so- cialists often declare that the church is their enemy and in league with capitalists to keep them down. It ought to be of real benetlt to study what Christianity has done for the laboring man. W hen’the church was first organ- ized practically all working men in the world were slaves. Al- though the process was slow and long, it was the church that broke down slavery. How it was done will be disco-nod next Sun- day afternoon. We want you to THE MEN’S CLASS BROWN ELECTED WARDEN The contest for the Wardenship of the County of Grey is. usually keen but this year the contest was particâ€" ularly keen, says yesterday‘s Owen Sound Sun-Times. This year Reeve Emerson Brown of Coll'ingwood Township will occupy the position as head of the Council. He won the position by the majority of a single vote over Reeve Dan. Mc’l‘avish of Flesherton. It is singular that last year Reeve Brown was a candidate for the office and that he lost out by one vote in the final ballot. This year there was but 'one ballot. Every member of the Council was present and every one filed his cer- tificate of election. Clerk Fred H. Rutherford occupied the chair when the members were called to order. He welcomed everyone to the Janu- ary session of the Council, especially the thirteen new members. This is about the same number or new mem- bers as usual. The election of the Warden was the main business to he carried out Tuesday. Mr. Rutherford called for nominations. Reeve Dan. MoTavish of Fle‘sherton was nominated by Messrs. Reburn and Lockhart; Reeve Hunt of Bentinek was nominated by Messrs. 'l‘hedorf and McEachern; Ree-w Brown of (tollingwood was nominated by Messrs. McKenzie and Whitv. and Home McKenzie of Ar- tvmvsia was mailman-d by Messrs. Currey and 'l‘aylnr. liarh of the miners amt Settonders of the nomination spoke briefly in the inlvl'ests nl' ”1030 they had nom- inated. liel‘ure the voting Messrs. Hunt. and McKenzie withdrew and left the field in Reeves Brown and Mc'l‘aVlsh. Mr. llunt said he was grateful for the pleasant statements which had been made about him but he would not allow his name to go before the tiuunril. Reeve McKenzie also withdrew but he f‘ralkh stated that he would he a candidate next year. Mr. MrKenzie has been a member (if the Omncil for fifteen years and it. is his hope and desire that he be elected to the Wardenship by acclamation if possible. This reduced the candidates to two. The voting was held at once, each member stating the candidate for whom he was voting. Reeve Brown was elected. Messrs. Mc- Kenzie and White. who had nomin-‘ ated Mr. Brown. escorted the newly- elected Warden to the chair and in- troduced him to the Council. Warden Brown said he appreciated the hon- 01' bestowed on him very much. He extended a hearty welcome to all members. esiieeially the newones, and he thanked the. Council as a whole for his election.
