of a dear brother amongst us—one among us who has
been recently called, in the pro

a prominent post in mat remote anu oneresting 1/11,,1011.
For in Liverpool, with whom he was long associated as a
minister of Christ, this mission will henceforth possess an
additional interest. May his episcopal labours be abun-

boundaries of the Redeemer's kingdom ! Under his pa-
ternal sway, may old congregations be established and

labouring with him in the Lord.
