reluctantly accepted, and Mr.. w. II.
ChiIes was thereupon elected to fill the
vacancy. But the officers OF the school

Mr.. Royle's most valuabl services, and

wholesome advice with regard to the con-
duct of the schoo The election of Mr..

eminent satisfaction, as he 10 an enthu-
siastic and capable Sunday school worker,

degree OF efficiency and popularity. He
is now q trustee and deacon and the
treasurer of the church, and superinten-
dent of the Sunday school. These
several duties are not too much for him
to perform, as he is a ~tireless worker in
the cause of Christianity and the upbuiid-
ing OF his beloved church.
