PASTORS FAREWELL ADDRESS AT

PASTORS FAREWELL ADDRESS AT the
close of the regular Communion services, at the
Baptist Church, yesterday afternoon, the retir-
iry pastor, Rev C. H. Rylaud, made parting
address. MIR. Ryland has been pastor four
years and two mouths, aud during the time
there have been one hundred and thirtyfour
persons added to the church, and over eleven
thousand dollars raised and disbursed for church
expenses and benevolences The pastor re-
marked that these data could not give an idea
of the worth and influence of the church, but
might serve to show that activity and unity
had prevailed The church was reminded that
no pastor could expect to satisfy everybody,
aud the speaker was probably no exception to
the rule, but he could say that the kindness of
his church during these years had made them
most agreeable time to him, and he should
ever rccur to his pas crate with sincere pleas
urc. 10 the grea, regret, not ouy OF the mem
bers of his own church, but all with whom he
has social or other relations, Mr.. Rylaud leaves
Tomorrow morning Tor his new duties as Flnan-
cia Secretary of Richmond College, but it is
understood that he will continue to supply the
pulpit until the CHURCH can have reasonable
time to secure successor.
