with usual INTEREST," It is not enough
to say that the people were pleased,
they were exceedingly so. He has
completely won all their hearts. [
have heard but one expression within
and without the Church-that of the
most entire satisfaction. The Bish-
ops heart is in his work, and as
consequence, wherever he visits. new
life is infused into the churches. We
all regard our young Diocese as emf

and If 1t does not make unusual pro-
gress it will not.be his fault, This
feeling, we are assured, is shared in
by all the congregations he has
visited. That his life may be spared
for many years to the Diocese is the
sincere prayer of all. PASTOR.
