., quisite workmanship, as a testimonial from
d the trustees of the church for his faithful
u and persevering labors during the last three
years In the erection of that splendid house.

u In response, but was evidently taken entirely
= by surprise, as he supposed the meeting was
called to give DR.. Newman a public recep-
ton. After enjoying the refreshments pre-
pared for the occasion, and spending an
= hour In social intercourse, the society dis
t pcrsed with many benedictions on the re-
= firing pastor. In view of the untiring energy
