Messrs, John Au lain and Anduze De-
string then that the congregation ex-
press their sentiments relative to the
suspicious occasion in hand. he, after a
few remarks, called upon Mr.. Louis
Audain, who responding readily, ascend
ed the platform, and made the speech
o! the evening, showing clearly and
distinctly the difficult and delicate task
to be performed that had fallen to the
lot of the retiring Rector, and at a time
when conditions. social as well as
economical, were far from normal. He
paid in his address a touching tribute to
the memory Of the late and deeply re-
vered Archdeacon Hutson, and as a
testimony of their gratitude and respect
to the deceased. called upon the audi
enca % rise.
Touching upon Church events both
past and present, he criticized with
some asperity the spirit 0 restlessness
which had lately entered the Church,
due primarily to the misunderstanding
and false impressions created 'outside,
by a few insurgent members, many of
them ignorant and malicious. He, in
fact, paid a BETTING tribute to the work
done by Rev. Pilgrim, and called upon
he audience to rise as a token Of recog-
milton of said work accomplished, a re
quest that was heartily endorsed and
granted.
Other members were then called upon
Mrs. Robt. Stride, Mrs. Manecke, and
Mrs. Boreham, e CHI of whom, in a SHIRT
speech, paid tribute to the Revd. gen
tIeman. Mr.. Speed and Miss Grigg,
old veterans of the Church, declined the
invitation to speak.
Rev. Griffiths. taking the stand, spoke
in his usually fluent and eloquent man
ner touching the matter in hand, paying
high tribute to the work done by Rev.
Pilgrim.
An address, a copy Of which was read
