regretted, as Mr.. Mills has proved himself
a faithful and efficient pastor, good
preacher, laborious in every good work
The present substantial edlfce has been
erected, a large portion of its debt paid,
the congregation nearly doubled. and the
church membership largely increased under
his administration. He is man that can

moval will be regretted by his church and
congregation, as well as by our citizens
generally. 1t is to be hoped he may bt
induced to withdraw his resignation.
