West : will leave for his new charge at Dunn- | 5 :3ille in about three weeks. Rev W P Rogers, B.A, has re- ceived a call to the pastorate of the Grace st. Methodist Ch., Napanee, at a salary of 3 +01), per year. last week Mr Rogers tendered his resignation of the pastorate to the Quarterly Board of the Port Perry Methodist Church. The Board ac- cepted the resignation, and Mr Rogers will leave at the end of the conference year, Port Perry will lose a good preach- er and an excellent teacher when Mr Rogers leaves town. His work among the young people, particularly in the Canadian Standard of Efficiency Test, has been one of the most practical kind attempted in the town, and is of a character that should be continued and carried out in other churches. He is the best teacher we have had bere for many years, and in the wider field at Napanee will give scope for his talent in these directions. Mrs Rogers has taken an active interest in the Sunday School and Missionary Society. Irish Concert The ladies of St. Johns Presbyter- ian Church are well pleased with the result of the Irish concert given last Friday evening, and they have every reason to be proud of the result of their efforts. In the first place the supper was very appetising and there was a heart- y approval of this part of the program. everybody took a good part. Nor was the program in the auditor- ium a bit behind the supper in point of excellence, and it speaks well for the skill of the chairman, Rev W. J. West, that with some fifteen persons on the program, the whole concert was brought to a close at 10 p.m. 1n addition to local talent whose ood qualities are already well known note wae present in the person of Miss Ruth Robertson, of Toronto; whose solos were greatly appreciated. Miss Robertson also sang at both services in the Presbyterian church last Sunday. Mr Ross Roach deserves special praise for his splendid cornet solos. He gave some selections of unusual: merit for so young a player, and his: talent will doubtless bring him into | prominence if he continues to improve as he has in the past.
