ME monthly meeting of the Guild of st. Andrew
rs held on Thursday evening last, the Warden,
~. w. A. Swan. presiding. subsequently a social
c;Tting of the Guild took place at which a well
lie was extended to the Rev. Mr.. Wallace, the
paw minister of S t. Andrews. The Warden adj
dressed the Rev. gentlemen in a feeling speech con-
trasting the condition of the church in the land
from which he has come with that which he would
have to contend with here, and expressing the
ardent hope of the members OF the Guild that a
career of usefulness was before him in building up
the church and bringing in souls TO Christ. Mr..
Swan also read 4 letter from Mr.. I. Rain Walker
who was unable to be present. The letter in elO-
| Ioduent terms expressed the writer's welcome to
Mr.. Wallace and his earnest sympathy with him in
his new sphere Of work. Mr.. Wallace responded
in a few remarks very appropriate to the
| occasion and to the subject matter Of Mr..
Swans address. He thought that the Catholic
character of the English church rendered it dis
tinctively the church of the times. Mr.. Webb
urged on his brother members of the Guild that
their fullest sympathy and help were due to their
new pastor. He compared the condition of the
church here with that of early times in the british
Colonies when any other, denomination seemed
ready to surpass it. The state of things here was
even more discouraging, but he would express
their common hope that MT. Wallace would be in
duced to remain, and that he might be the instru-
ment of a great work amongst them. A general
conversation ensued, and che reunion proved so
pleasant that the proceedings were protracted to a
much later hour than usual
