Tea was served in the basement and the amount and variety of eatables showed that the country people are away above and beyond anything of the kind in our tows and yillages. Mr. Paterson opened the meeting by calling on the Markdale choir for a selection, and this popular and good looking com- pany sang with great acceptance "We come again with songs to greet you." After the chairman's address legard- ing the remaining debt on the church, the Roy. Messrs. Mclnnis, Fydell and Ross gave each rather long but inter- esting speeches, one on the Queen's Kegalia and Crown, e. another on Unity of the Churclies, and still an-, other on the famous Mackinaw Trip. Then came some magnificent anthems followed by that old rhyme "Ba, Ba, Black Sheep," set to modern music, which brought down the audience. Then Mr. W. A. Dorrington sang in fine style "They all love Jack." Mr. J. E. RicLards followed with "The Ruined Cottage." A duet and chorus, "Refuge," sang by request by choir, followed by "Guide me Thou Great Jehovah." The meeting dispersed with votes of thanks to the various speakers and the Markdalo choir.
