The farewell reception tendered‘ Rev. and Mrs. J. W. McIntosh in the school room of the United Church, Mondaytevening was largely attended and was evidence of the general re- gret felt in this community at their departure for their new field of work at St. J ohnsbury, Vermont. The room. which had been furnished with rugs. and chairs was very tastefully dec- orated with a profusion of flowers and the tea table lighted with candles and decorated with roses and lily-of- the-valley niade a delightful setting for the reception. Many guests were present from Victoria Square, where Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh have endeared themselves through their many kind ministrations. The large number attending the re- ception was in itself a speaking tri- but‘e .to‘the esteem in which Rev. and Mrs. McIntosh are held in the village and community. Rev. Wall acting as chairman asked all to join in singing “Blest 36 The Tie That Binds” and vocal solos were sung by Miss Phyl- li§ Glass and Miss Mae Sanderson and by Mrs. Walker Hall of Toronto and Miss 0 've Switzer.

In her remarks Mrs. Trench referred especially to the relation of Mrs. McIntosh to the W. M. S., the Ladies Aid and the Sunday school and the help she had been by giving so generously of her time and ability and the cordial hos- pitality in her home all of which has ‘made Mrs. McIntosh outstanding in 1Women’s work and it was with deep- ‘est regret that the relations in this i . iconnection must be severed. n a life-long friend of Rev.

Campbell, a-gift from the congregation. In responding Rev. McIntosh referred to the very happy and intimate relation- ship which existed between pastor and people, and his most earnest desire for the United Church was a spiritual development which would be a vital force in ,the community here and the church at large. Mrs. Wall and Mrs. J. Dunlop poured tea while a number of the young ladies and gentlemen assisted in serving refresh- ments, in charge of the matrons of the church. Many and tender were the farewells which were said and the chief note through all was that contin- ued success should be the lot of ones so beloved as the departing friends. __.â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€" Mr. ‘J.

Church Regular Session The regular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill council was held in the clerk’s office on Friday evening last with Reeve Lunau in the chair and cti‘uncillors Herrington, McLean and S can present. ‘ Reeve Lunau reported that he was in constant touch with the T. T. C. lbut that the matter of changing the gauge had not been definitely settled and ‘that therefore nothing definite could be said whether the‘T. T.C. would move their tracks to the centye of the road in the village or not. Just as soon as the Railway Board gave a ruling on the change of gauge and the T.T.C. were able to approach the city council to ask an appro'driation for thevwork the Richmond Hill Coun- cil will be in a position to consider the paving of Yonge Street, he said. Councillor Herrington wanted to know what was to be done to Centre Street East and he also voiced the complaint of several citizens who were asking that the streets be oiled. The reeve stated that Centre Street and Richmond Street would be patch- ed as far as possible and that it would be given a coat of tarvia. 'He als’o ‘reported that work had commenced on the ditches on Centre and Baker Avenue and that as soon as weather conditions permitted would be contin- ued throughout the town. J. H. Dunlop was granted permis- sion to erect a sign at the corner of Yonge and Dufi‘erin Streets. Coun- cillor Herring’con ‘will oversee the work and see that it ‘is erected in a place" and position satisfactory to the council. I Councillor Herrington wanted to know, if the hydro pole at the corner of Church and Lorne Ave. could not be moved as he felt that it was a menace to the public safety. He pointed out that it was a very dan- gerous corner with the barn on the south-west corner right on the street and the pole in about what he thought to be the centre of the road. There will be a lot of traffic on Church street if we pave Yonge street he said and it should be fixed. He also thought that if the building on the' corner was on the street it should be moved as it completely obstructed the View of the motorist. The members of council were not just sure as to where the correct street line was but, it was decided to investigate the mat- ter‘and see what could be done to im- prove matters. In all probability the pole will be moved from its present location and placed“ right against the lock-up or else inside the Agricultur- a1 grounds. .4. h- venn..." There was considerable discussion regarding the Jubilee Celebration which is sponsored by the Council and which will be held in the Agricultural Park on July 1. Hope United Church was crowded on Sunday afternoon and evening at the S. S. Anniversary services. Im- pressive sermons were preached by Rev.

The people of Thornhill United Church were greatly pleased to find it was possible to have Rev. J. W. McIntosh preach at their morning service last Sunday. A large number were present; to hear his farewell sermon. Few ministers have won 'a warmer place in the affections and ap- precia ion of the people of Thornhill Unite Church than Rev. Mr. McIn- tosh. His sermon was very practical and inspiring and entirely in harmony with the manner of life he has mani- fest amongst the people of this com- munity. Under, such able and earn- est preaching any congregation might well be expected to grow in the best graces of life. It is a great loss to Ontario when such men must leave us for other parts. In his new field of service Mr. McIntosh will be fol- lowed by the best wishes of many people ‘in Thornhill and community, and with the kindest remembrance ,of his useful ministry and kindly spir- it, and his splendid zeal for the wel- fare of truth.
