CONGREGATIONALISM

TERRACE CHURCH ANNIVERSARY, In connection withVhe seventy-seventh anniversary .of the Terrace Congregational Church- a very well-attended tea meeting was held last evening in the church schoolroom. Members of the clergy present' were Dr. J. K. Elliott nnd thfl Revs. J. It. GlaSson, J. Patterson, A. Reader, W. Day, and W. A. Evans. A public meeting was hold after the tea. ' The pastor (Rev. J, K. Gkisson) commented upon the satisfactory stato of the church finances. Ho also referred to what members of the church had done in the war. Some had made tlis supremo sacrifice; others had now returned. To the latter; and to those who. would yet return, lie desired to extend ;t welcome. The Rev. A, Reader (Methodist), who woa invited to address the meeting, acknowledged his debt to Congregationalism. Ho spoke of the struggles of Congregationalism, to grow in the shadow of a Stuto Church in England, and ho expressed the hope that its contribution to religious liberty would not bo forgotten. The Rev. W. A. Evans said that the Terrace Congregational Churc.h had been fortunate in its pastors. It had had in tha pulpit men of the highest character, ability, and power, and its record lind been as fine as that of any church he knew. The pastorates had been long, and where the pastors were such fli> those whom tho church had had, frequent changes were not desirable. The present pastor had just completed the semijubilee of his association with tho church. In face of the present religions crisis that lnenaccd the Christian Church, Mr. Glasson luid not lost heart, and tho speaker was sure that the menibors of Mr. Glasson's congregation would stand lirm also, prepared to make any sacrifice that was required of them. Tho Rev. Mr. Glafson thanked tile previous speaker for his kind observations. 110 predicted a time of testing for tho Churches. The divisions that had kept Christians apart in the past had been a source of weakness. Those professing Christianity would now have to take their Christianity more seriously.
