owing to sickness or severe colds that not more than one half of the- minister expected were j resent to participate in tbe induction sorvh e which whs lield in the afternoon but this did not mar the excellence of the solemn atuf impiesive service so ably tendered by thoe who were present key duncan of unionviiie acted as moderator and did hid part well the baptist pastor was invited to take par in the induction and readily re sponded three were three special features in theserfino apart from tie prayer and iu ing on of hands which were of great interest- to all present via the induction sarinon address to the churches and charge to the min ister the sormon was preached by iter macpberson who was rev j c wilsons predecessor in acton and now of toronto hi sermon was a forceable mid

this country from a wilderness into a garden there arowavs that mvu choose and these ways cften lead lo death but this divinely appointed way will lead to life and is always safe it is the churchs business to proclaim this way of god ami make it known to all people and invite all to walk in this gospel way after tho sermon mr barbour was invited to the pulpit whero he knelt for the laying on of hands this was the most impressive part of the after noon service tho ministers stood around the newly appointed pastor while tbe moderator ltd in the induc tion prayer audthe laying on of hand in which all the pastors and those re presenting the chuches took part the prayer was solemn and eariiost biirlt tied with petitions for the bles sing of god upon the man who was then being set apatt for the gieat work of gospel ministry at tho con clusion of the ordination prayer tho charge to the new minister was given by hev macdonitld of scarboro ho first stated that the gospel minister was godvman in the npiritual realm his duty is the moulding of the christ ian character after the divine pattern his chief business will be to maintain hts pulpit ministrations and to bear tn mind that the pulpit is his throne where his influence will ba folt most then next in importance to his pulpit will bo his miniftiy in tho sick room he will need sympnihy and tender ncss in visiting tho sick it is there be finds his way into the hearts of his people then in the larger and social sphere as a minister going out and in among the pnoplo he will al ways be sociable hut dignifioi the charge was followed by the address to the churches delivered by rev pidgeon of markliara it proved to bo most practical aud suggestive touching on tbe dutiei of tho church to the minister id brief some of the chiof points of interest were as follow the church should respect the minis ters personality allowing for differ ence in manner and method from bis predecessor as to bis life and work then stand by faira and if he should have any faults cover them never parade them the good old scotch presbyterians were oitsd as good ex ample in this connection they have been known to stand by their miuis- tirs
