Last Sunday Rev. Father Burke
preached his farewell sermon to large
congregation who had assembled to hear
the parting words of one who had en-
deared himself to them by every tie
that binds pastor to people. His elo-
quent words, spoken with much feeling,
touched the hearts of all, and strong
men wept as children. No pastor was
ever more truly loved, and none will be
more sadly missed. During his short
stay in New Hampton he has gained
the friendship of all, and his removal
will create vacancy that will not soon
be filed When he took charge of this
pastorate there was debt of 5000 up
on the church premises. This he re-
moved by his untiring energy, and leaves
besides, as mark of his zeal, a parson-
age that will compare favorably with
any in the State. Father Burke goes to
independence by appointment of Bish.
op Hennessy, and the best wishes of
not only his own church, but Of all who
know him, accompany him to his new
charge.-Nev Hampton Courier.
