A Pastors Reception at Uniontown.


! The members of the Uniontown NJ. P.
Church had the pleasure of welcoming Rev.
DIR. j. T. Murray, their newly appointed pas
tor, and his family, at the parsonage, April
18th, and royal welcome it was, as regards
the inner and outer comfort of his family.
| The ladies, as is their custom, had the great
est abundance OF every thing the appetite
could desire, for all who came to receive their
pastor, and plenty left to establish the family
in their new home. Uniontown, never lets her
church or people suffer.
The fire still fingered from the last house
hold, lending an additional warmth to our
greeting, and it was evident they felt their lot
had been cast among friends. The DIR. and
Mrs Murray are among the first acqualnt-
ances your correspondent made in my Ma
ryland,n in the spring of 1867, and as we re-
member, and look back through all those years
down to 1899, we can recall much that is
pleasant, as well as days tina: have worn the
tinge of sadness
For no eyes have there been ever without weary
And those lips cannot be human which never
heaved sigh
1t was great and unexpected pleasure to
find with them Miss Emory, a sister OF Mrs
Murray's, an old and valued friend OF other
wears, whose brightness has passed, but
which memory loves TO hnger upon still,
and as we renewed the delightful intercourse
of other years a fragment from "a Life for
Life by Miss Mulock, came to US, reading
ti,... '.0h, the blessing it is to have a friend
to whom one can speak fearlessly on any
subject: with whom ones deepest, as well as
ones most foolish thoughts, come but simply
and safely. Oh, the comfort, the inexpres-
sible comfort. of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure
words, but pouring them all right out, just as
they are, chaff and grain together, certain
thai a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping, and with the
breath of kindness blow the rest away \
rare experience in life, and happy the heart
that enjoys it.
MAY the Doctors stay among US result in
much good and usefulness, aud We feel as,
snred II his people lend their aid we shall
have much to cheer US from his labors.
