crowDing the long pastorate just closing
with expressions of good will and esteem.
After the first surprise had subsided, Mr.. o.
W. Dimick extended the greetings of the
company to the pastor and his wife, and as
sumed the position Of toastmaster for the
evening. The first toast, "The Ladies of the
Parish" introduced Mrs. DIR. Tower. who
responded by gracefully offering to Mrs.
Wilson, in behalf of her lady friends. a
beautiful bouquet, brooch of pearls and an
elegant lamp The second toast, "The
Young Men," called out Mr.. Alfred Turner,
who voiced the affectionate regard Of his as
sociates and their appreciation of the faith
full labors of their pastor; In token OF which
he presented TO him a gold headed ebony
cane. The third and last toast was "Our
Financier," and brought forward Mr. @. Q.
Pierce, the treasurer Of the parish, who with
assurances of friendship too strongly cement
ed to be broken, even by separation, handed
to Mr.. Wilson an album containing 5000 in
bi lis, with the names or the donors. This
mark ed the height in the cumulative series
of gifts and the corresponding emotions of
the recipients. Fortunately the pastor was
well trained in improptu speaking, and out
of full heart responded to this manifesto
tion OF the affection of the people who have
been his charge for fifteen years. He leaves
now to enter upon his new duties as pastor
of the church in Deering, where he carries

$l2624, 749 over the new business of 1886.
The assets of the Mutual Life now aggre-
gate the enormous sum Of $11S,S06, S51.SS,
making it by far the largest financial institu-
tion in the world. The company now has
an outstanding insurance account amount
ing to $427. .62S, 1888. 1t received for premiums
in 1887 the sum of SIT, ,110, ,901, and its total in
come from all sources amounted to S23.079,-
