Rev. M. Ii. futile.

The Oxford Orpha11s' Friend of last
week says:
.'Rcv. NJ. II. futile preached for us
last Sunday afternoon in the Asylum
chapel. His theme was: set Your
heart and soul to seek the Lord"
Mr.. Futile will soon go to his new
charge in Henderson and this was,
probably, his last meeting with us for
some time. We believe he has ac-
complisheh. through the aid of the
Holy Spirit, much good for our
orphan boys and girls. We wish him
abundant success and usefulness in
his new field of labor, but regret very
much to lose him from our midst"
