lr is with much regret that we learn that cir
eumstances make it best for the Rev. Mr.. Eastman,
rector Of st Mary's church, Mortified, to sever
his connection with that church Mr.. Eastman is
a man Of culture and ability, and has much en-
deaFed himself to many people in Mortified. lie
Is man whose influence reaches beyond his own
church and people, and makes him respected by
all. His pastorate in Mortified has not been
long, but long enough 50 that his influence has
reached the hearts Of many people, who will much
regret his departure. I've have too few men Of his
large, charitable, genial and social nature and we
regret his loss To St. Mays church, and trust
that wherever he may find home, prosperity and
success may attend his efforts. and that he will
receive that respect and love from men and women
which he eminently deserves.
