dismissal from your pastoral charge, With
feelings of regret. We folt disposed TO en-
ter our protest against the net, but we found
ourselves powerlcss, from the fact that we
were not members Of the church. There
was one way left ms, and one only To pre-
sent YOU with some testimonial OF our nppre-
citation of the course you have pursued since
you came to reside among us, AS well rs our
feelings in regard 10 the action of others.
We shalt judge no one, but shall express our
own feelings, and let Judgment come from
Him who knoweth tho secret thoughts of our
hearts Your kind, generous, aifable man
ner won our confidence and esteem. You
did not, like some naughty Levite, pass us
by on the other side, or with n look of con
tempt give us to understand that we were
not worthy to touch the borders Of your gar
ments. Rather, you mingled with us, re-
ioiced with us, or sympathized with us in
our Affections. Following the precepts OF
your great exemplar, you broke bread in our
families, you met with us Mt our social gath
erings, and took part in our discussions, and
thus we found that you favored whatever
tended to elevate man in the social scale,
and advance education and civilization.
And yet in all this you keep the light OF your
calling ever shining in our midst. And now,
pastor, please accept the token Of good will
in behalf of your friends present you. Ac-
cept IL not so much for It's intrinsic value rs
for those kindly feelings and human sympa-
thy that are called out on the present occa-
sion, and with this token accept our nssur-
ance that our best wishes will go with you
to whatever field you may be called to labor
in. May brighter more prosperous career
open before you; may you find n broader
aud better field for usefulness, and while
fulfilling the duties imposed upon you by
your great Master, may the Sun Of Right
eousness ever illumine your footsteps and
Of ltataf md Nnfo
hope in the ever changing scenes of life you
will occasionally cast u thought back to this
day and its scenes and to the friends that
this day through me address you, and II we
are not permitted TO meet again here, may
we DO permitted to hope we will meet where
the weary rest, and sabbath has no end.
Mr.. Buzzell responded with much feeling
He said this was not the first time he had
received pecuniary aid from members of
the parish who were not members of the
church. A continual dropping had been
his experience during the three years he had
been with them. Accept my warmest
thanks for this renewed expression of your
sympathy. When in somewhat Strengthened
circumstances, have received temporary
aid from you. Two of your number whose
faces | now see before me put their hands
in their pockets and kindly loaned me $50
each, greatly to my relief. While l accept
this gilt as the proof of your confidence and
esteem, hope and pray that may, where
ever l go, have warm place in your hearts.
thank God that the gift has been presented
in love, and may we all meet in that rest
that remains for the people of God"
