We had farewell call from Rev O. " w.
Chandler on Tuesday morning. He starts to-

win remain few days before final departure

While local appointment would be very pleas
ant and more agreeable to him, yet he feels that
the outside work that he will be compelled to
undergo in his missionary labor will be better
for his health aud not require the close atten-
ton to books that q steady pastorats would in
volve. Many good words follow him and his
good wife TO their field OF labor. We feel that

has been said regarding Mra Chandler's excel
lent qualities Every one knows that large
measure of the success of Rev. Chandler has
been due TO the faithfuiness and good judgment
of his wife. Ever ready and willing to sacrifice

congregation that win be seriously felt by her
departure.
