were present to listen to the excellent
sermon which was preached by Rev. r.
H.. Wilson, of Croswell. He took as
his text the 10th verse of the 10th chap
ter of John. Below we give a synopsis
Of this fine sermon. He brought out
his points clearly and held the atten.
tion of all.
Rev. Geo. Cleaver, of Marlette, in the
absence of Rev. Goodwillie, of Port
Huron. had charge of the meeting
AS is the custom of the Presbytery in
installing new pastor, the usual ques-
tions were propounded TO the pastor
and the people; and as moderator pro
tenn, Rev. Cleaver declared Rev. Doug.
lass pastor of the Presbyterian church
of Yale.
Rev. II. w. MOnteith was next intro
duced and he gave the charge to the
pastor. He clearly sketched the duties
of pastor towards his people and the
world. He showed how pastor and
people i'm order to accomplish the most
good must work i'm harmony with each
other.
Rev. q. B. Crawford was then called
upon to charge the people, and this he
proceeded TO do in humorous manner.
He started out by saying that a cove
nant now existed between pastor and
people, in reality contract in which
each agrees to do certain things and
not to do other things. He said that
the people must uphold the minister's
credit in three ways, viz. financially,
mentally, and spiritually. He dwelt
upon the financial side at length.
Preachers caunot, he said, preach near
ly SO good sermon while standing in
shoes which they know are not yet
paid for. So it is in the way of clothes
and other physical necessities, as food,
a home to live in, etc. He cautioned
the people TO see that the minister was
well provided for i'm this way.
a pastor must have up-to-date books
TO preach an up-to- date sermon. See
that he has these i'm abundance. Don't
expect an up-to. the-minute sermon if
he has not the necessary material to
work with. Then he asked the people
to give the minister spiritual aid. Don't
90 up, slap him OH the back, saying,
"Thats an extra fine sermon" and then
go away and not practice what he
breaches. Give him spiritual aid by
agreeing to better your own life. Fill
up the empty pews with men and men
whose heads aren't empty either. That
is the way to encourage pastor.
The church choir favored the audi
ence with two selections during the
services, and at the close all joined in
singing "Blest BE the Tie" after which
the benediction was pronounced by the
new pastor
Rev. Wilson i'm behalf of the church
invited all persons present TO adjourn
to the dining room of the church.

SIX SWEET SISTfRS' SUPPER.

The supper given by the six sweet
sisters of the Epworth League on We'd
nesday evening at the residence of Mr..

ly satisfactory and socially successful.
The supper was simply sumptuous if
you were sharp enough to select some
thing from the bill of fare which would

specified sour slivers, side specials and
springs select as being suitable to your
needs and the silent sister standing by
your side wouldn't help you out, you
would be sincerely sorry and end by
saying, "Send in all your scraps and
samples, your separated similars and
your standby's, thus securing a savory
supply, soulfully satisfying.
