Dear Mr., Editor,

Dear Mr., Editor,
Allow me space in your valued paper
to make a few remarks IN connection with
Canon Watson. As | read in your columns
that this gentleman will be leaving this is
lard to take up his work in a new field, [
cannot refrain from wishing this Servant of
Christ every success, and may God bless his
labours. As [ am not one of his coDgre9a-
ton this may seem strange to many, but 1t IS
caused from being acquainted with hIm Tor
over 20 years, and | have received from his lips
many comforting words TINT have proved ex-
ctedingly valuable and helpful to me. | have
in my possession a Bible which be gave me as
a present over eVenteen years ago that
[ esteem more than silver OF gold and which
| shall ever hold in fond remembrance Of him.
| have been present where this Rev. gentle
man assisted in lifting a dead body of the
humble poor and placed it in its coffin,
l have witnessed whore he assisted in
bearing the coffin of the poor, if this was
done by him TO the rich, | might have been
tempted to say it was done for their money,
it was not for money, but from the good
and Christ-like feelings that have ever lived
in him. [ have also had the privilege Of
seeing his ready Willingness to help the
poor, and he has done as much good as he
could for the years he has laboured here.
l am convinced that along with myself there
are a vast number in whose hearts there is
a tender spot for him, and in whose
memory he will ever live. l sincerely
hope that when the time for his depar-
ture has fully come, he will remember
that there are many outside of his own Con-
gregation who have learnt to appreciate and
value his services among the peopls of this
island. I also hope that he will not forget
to leave his Blessing upon the inhabitants
of this island. My last wish for him is that
the Eyes of the Omnipotent may ever be over
him to guide, guard, and protect, and may
He bless him with health, strength and long
life to labour in His vineyard.
remain,
Sincerely yours,
A. G. BOUGH.

offering free hall rent and other little
courtesies to these societies and Belfast
will reap the benefit. Maine Post Card

desired that cards advertising the beau
ties and advantages of Maine should be
sent to friends in other states on that
day, inviting them to come to Maine this
summer and visit the haunts of the old
Pine Tree State. In line with this move
ment the Belfast Board of Trade has an
interesting advertising card which will
be furnished free Of charge to those who
