The Rev.?. Ntalrg (partoe) WM full of gratitude that
the ten years of hie ministry had been ten years of
peace, anal thought perhaps U there had been a little
more ruffling of the waters, there midst have been
more healthiness and strength. S ameely a Sunday had

end he was grateful for the health and strength that
enabled him to occupy the pulpit every Sunday. Drriug
the year they bad lost some of their aged members, who
had followed • C noUns course for 3) or 60 years. Their
places should be filled from amongst those brouyht up
among them, and who partook of Clar,stian ensilages
here, and he hoped the young m-n anal women would
come out and proclaim themselves on the Lord's aide.
The congregation had not greatly increased or diminished,
and there was not much margin fe such in the town, the
population of which is pretty nearly stationary. This wee

to financial matters, there hat been • small debt, the
treasurer had leased • statement respecting it, and the
people had .sairmed promptly to the appeal. Hitherto
God has help-d us, and he dial not lose heart :he thankod
them for all they had done, and on the whole they dad
very well. Although be had been preaching sermons
for these 10 years, be did not feel exhaumed, sod hoped
to go on preaching with as much faithfulness, freshman,
and power, as he had done in the pmt.

anecdotes, and conaludad by expressing his hope that
God would bless the penile here.
The choir then very pleasingly sang "Weary Gleaner,"
