v o' Lu DURHAM REVIEW. 1'-1-'111iiiyisiiiiiii'-i ii-ii-iii-ill"-'" I". Ir Parquharson placed in charge of 'he Durham Presby- terian Congregation. Tandy, Oct. 81. was a red-letter any with Durhnm Preabyterians, for then was consummated another union betweenputor and people. which, at: ter a seven months' vacancy swarm to be very tteeeptable, and gives promise of being profitable to congregzuion and community. cot no: second trial. On Sept. 25 at Orange- ville, Mr. Farqaharson had cat loose from loving congregations and it behoved Durham people to treat him well, especially seeing he was the only one of all the probationers who did not ask for a hearing bat had come among them on request, his name and lame preceding him. ll m In Rev. Mr. Campbell, Dromurc, Mod- erator, then took charge recnunting the steps taken since April 2nd last when the pulpit was first vacant. to Sep. l when the present choice was made, happily as he said, needing no second trial. On Sept. 25 at Orange- ville.Mr. Famaharson had cut loose Mr. Campbell then pat the usual questions asto life, doctrine and be.. lief, which were properly answered, after which Rev. Mr. Matheson, Price- ville led in prayer, and then followed the Presbyterinl right hand ot tellow- ship to the new member of Saugeen Presbytery. Um Rev. Mr. Miller, Holstein, addressed the ministet in an earnest, faithful way, so as to “leave me without blame and you without excuse.” The charge first dealt wiih his personal religion, and the importance of such a walk and conversation before his congregation and the world as would disarm criticism end furnish an exam- ple. Inthe second place the import- ance of fidelity in his teaching and preaching, the necessity of devout study, careful preparation, and wise presentation. The importance of his pastoral duties was also faithfully and clearly pointed out. The charge to the people was given by Rev. Mr. Dobson. Fordwich. and though through a misunderstanding he had come prepared to address the Minister also, he made a lull and ap- propriate address to the, people, with short preparation. He admonished them l. To attend to his ministrations regularly in word and ordinances, nothing ”discouraging to a minister as empty pews. 2. They should ex- pect him te tell the truth and don't be otfended if he did it. 3. They should expect him to know the truth he teach- es and receive it as long as it is pre- [ sented in love. 4. They should show appreciation of his work and labors by such sympathy of word and deed as could betittingly expressed. 5. They should support him finaneiallv, not as it' he was an object of charity, but as one who gave value for all he receiv- ed. tr. They should respect his good name which was of vast importance to every one, but especially to a minister of the gospel. 7. They should put down unnecessary gossip about him. Gossip or tlippant talk will injure his usetulness. Try to value his work and his worth and the temptation to gossip ete. would be easily resisted. 8, Never let the young hear the minister evil spoken of or lightly spoken of. u. Iris representatiye character as an ambassador ot'Christ should ever be kept in view. and this would act " a restraint against all harsh or ill considered words, 10. Members should pray fur their pastor. Anyone we pray for, we are not likely to injure or neglect. Edit " c.

Mr. Ferguson on behalf of the Methodists of the town and vicinity, congratulated the people on again having " pastor, moreover a married pastor. He spoke ot the advantages of the itinerant system. It was a drawback in the matter ot citizenship, though it had its rosy side to the pt:esbyt.erian probyien.er long uncall- ed. The pastor of this congregation he said, owing to its numbers, wealth etc., and the permanency ot the pastor; ate, should be the leader of the moral forces ot'the town, but he taeetioasly reminded them he must be broad minded or Methodists, Baptists and Episcopalians would not follow him. The prosperity of the Presbyterians did not mean the lowering of other denominations, for he believed the elevation of one body effected all tavorably. .H..v..-..-.m -7 _ be extended a welcome and felieita- tionsand urged unity of heart and purpose, in love in all their associa- LIONS. Mr. Young thanked the members of other denomination and rural congre- gations for participating in the welcome. Mr. Calder said it must be gratify- ing to Mr. if. to feel that it was a town welcome as well as a congregational one. It was a time of good resolutions and as chairman of the board of managers, he would like all the mem- bers to make one to do their part financially He reminded the eon- gregation of the urgent necessity for church improvement and possibly enlargement, and hoped Mr. lf. would be with them many veers. Mr. Allan also voiced the wish for a lasting union. If we are not success~ tal, it is likely to be the fault of the congregation. As Superintendent of the Sabbath School he pressed the im- portance of home training, and parents should remember that regular attend- ance of the children would be an inspiration to Mr. Farquharson. Mr. N. W. Camnbell as their repre- sentative at Orangenlle presbytisry, faeetiously claimed the credit ot bring- ing Mt. if. among them. He related the warm expressions of 1rgir,i,ttl,e. sorrowfully spoken ot Mr. F. y mem- bers of his former congregations in View of his leaving them. He pointed out also, the intluenee of an enlightened pulpit for good even apart from its sacred mission. Chairman Campbell reminded the congregation, in view of Insp. Camp- bell's testimony regarding the warmth of the parting at Orangeville, of the necessity laid upon them of working with Mr. Farquharson and upholding his hand. Mr. Binnie rejoiced at again havi g a settled pastor. as all were tC,Ttlil', tired of the vacancy. He hoped we would grow spiritually and if we did there would be no doubt the financial part would look after itself. Mr. Raiuage made a few remarks in the same congratulatory strain and pointed out that perhaps exeasably. owing to its being a new feature with them only a partial welcome had been given seeing that there was a Mrs. Farquharson in the case. Mrs. F"arxyrharson's welecme was extended by spontaneous and hearty applause.

Both morning and evening large; congregations listened to the new l pastor. In the morning both scripture ', readings and the discourse were taken i from the Prophet Amos, the text being i in eh. 7:15. "l'rophesy unto myl people Israel," and the study of thel life and work of the old Seer was pre- sented in an able and protitable way. Though of humble origin, he came before Kings without credentials, l having heard the voice "The Lord! hath spoken, who can but prophest" l Compared with previous Jewish periods l the time of Amos was more like our" modern times. There was then as now the problems ot town and country of poverty and wealth. Theiniquities of the age were marked, the judges perverted justice and there was no redress. even the church and its leaders were not faithful. This was the field he had to work in, but on every occasion of need God raises a "man" fer the occasion, and Amos was this man. Such men were John the Bap- tist, Luther. and other worthies, and if' the church was to rise, if politics are to be pure, if growth is to take place We need "men," whose nobilitv does not depend on outward circumstances l whom we will honor without descend- ing to hero worship, and though success is not always measured by present results, it will be a blessing it the limitations of human frailty led us to the tountain of blessing, the richness of the glory that is to be found in Jesus Christ our Lord. , 1n the evening his discourse twas from Matthew 14:27 "Be of good cheer it is I, be not afraid." After outlining the preceding circumstances, when the Lord and his disciples crossed the lake to mourn together the murder of John the Baptist, how the multitudes followed and were fed, he vividly depicted the lake scene where in the midst of the storm the disciples saw a spirit or a "speetre" aproaching them, which spectre spoke to them the com- forting words of the text. In like manner he showed how the spectres of life such as bodily wants, penury. losses, and the final dissolution itself would all resolve themselves into ylcisings if looked to with the eye of ait . . His Life was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a. prominent citizen oi Haunihal. Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from u frightful death. In telling ot it he says: "I was taken with Typhoid FeverJhat ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hardened, I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption. when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. Ieouticued to “re it, and now am well and strong. I can't toy too much in its, praise."
