M Dear FlytH0 dud Bs'pt'd thH-
| deeo Of Chrirt: Mine is not an easy
task to put in words what my heart now
/ feels. Your address, with it, accompany
/ ing token OF atiectionate esteem, has
aroused me to fuller realization of my
approaching change and the sad parting
/ il will entail.
| have given the matter much serious
! thought. | have often looked ahead and
brought to mind the coming separation
/ from nv dearly loved flock, and the pain
! il wa, going to iunict. But a. the time
draws near Tor my final departure, feel
more kecnly the pang OF parting, and
whilst thank yuu-but thank Is TOO cold
and formal word; only use il FOR want
of a better-whilst. then. | thank you
from my heart for the kind, u1tcctonatr
sentiments YOU express towards Ice. !
cannot but own that thrirvcry expression
has made me feel very sad FOR nm there
by warned how soon the rending will
come Of ties most dear aud Sacrcd-hCw

docility and dcvotedne,s which gladdeu-
the heart and stimulate, the zeal ot Il
pastor of souls. But God, cur Master,
has deemed it otherwise, and YOU and /
must bow in humble submission 70 His
Will. as expressed in the voice o! His

Though | must now leave my pres
cnt nome. cndeared by So many pleasant

Of WteelHg:
VERY REV. S1K-In view OF your re-
cent elevation to the dignity Of the mi
trs we the undersigned, members OF
your late congregation at HarpeFs Fer
~ peg leave to give expression to our
feelings on this suspicious event. Our
emotions are singularly compounded OF
grief, satisfaction and pride. We
feel that your inevitable removal from
US will entail loss not easily renedled,
for we but echo the general opinion en-
tertained by men Of all religious denoml-
nations in this community when We say
that. while your zeal in the cause OF
heaven has been singularly fruitful IN
good. YOUR talents and learning have
rendered the services of the Church more
than usually attractive, and commanded
the respect Of even Indifference ana un-
belief
Our sorrow, however, is more than
counterbalanced by therefection that our
loss is the gain of the Church, and that
YOUR removal from US only gives It wider
field for the exercise of the extraordinary
powers with which you are proteesedIy
endowed, and which were partially lost
10 religion while YOU occupied the COM
paratively obscure position Of a
missionary priest. The church has
