The Clinton News -Record has the following to say of Rev. Mr. Millyard, who assumes the pastorate of Main Street Methodist church, on Sunday next, viz:—"Rev. Mr. Mkllyard will preach his farewell sermon next Sun- day evening incl the following week. take his departure for Exeter. lie has been a successful pastor and during his three years in charge of the Rattenbur y street church has prospered financially and spiritually. We understand tlxe membership is about one hundred greater than three years since and that the general funds have been well maintained, while the contributions to Missions have made a substantial in- crease. During the same period the present parsonage was purchased and $1,700 paid on it. Outside his own church Mr. Millward is also popular. He is no stilted divine, but an every- day niueteenth century man. He has numerous strong personal friends here all of whom will wish him continued success as pastor of Main street church Exeter. Departure of Worthy Ministers. Rev. Chas. Smith, minister for the past three years of Main street Metho- dist church, has removed with his family this week from Exeter to his new station in Meaford. Mr. Smith leaves hosts of friends here both in town and country who regret his de- parture...le was a useful, popular preacher, who labored earnestly,faith- fully and with marked intelligence in Exeter. He has left the church in good financial standing and the con- gregation realize that they are losing a good man, an able preacher and an ardent worker in the' various branches of the church. The people of Mea - ford are to be congratulated upon se- curing one so qualified to take charge of their church. The Rev. Dr. Willoughby on leaving the pastorate of the James Street Methodist church for another field of labor, bears with him, we are assured on all hands, the unqualified respect of all with whom he has been associated during his residence in Exeter. The members of the congregation being de- sirous to express this feeling in some tangible form, have presented the-rev- erend he reverend gentleman with an address, which appears elsewhere in this issue, testifying their personal esteem in very warm terms. It may be said that a minister more worthy of these ex- pressions of personal esteem and ap- proval has not at any time ministered among the congregation of James. Street church. - Be has been a most active and'faithful worker in all his relations with the church and marked- ly devoted in his ministrations among the sick or less fortunate of his people. The influence of his guiding hand was felt throughout all departments of the .church, manifesting a deep and well directed interest in the ; spiritual wel- fare of the young, and by his guiding influence many 'the young heart has been won over. to God. The town of Forest has sex•ured in Dr. Willoughby a man of much force of character and a faithful and earnest worker.

A large number of the members of the congregation of .Janies street efetlxodist church, assembled at the parsonage on Friday evening to bid farewell to their pastor and his wife, before they leave Exeter, A pleasant social was spent, during which Miss Lewis, secretary of the Lidice Aid Society, read the address which tal- lows. 1.)4AR DR. 1ATlLLOL"Gzl r: 4A'e, thea members and adherents of James st. church, take this opportunity of ex- pressing our hearty appreciation of the valuable services you have render- ed us during the term of your pastor- ate, which we regret is drawing so near to a close, wring these years you have endeared yourself to us, and While laboring faithfully in our inter- ests, it has not been in any narrow sectarian spirit, and, you have ;at the same time commanded the respect of others. We recognize the honesty of purpose, the zeal and ability with which you have served the congre- gation; and your readiness at all times to promote what you believe to be our best interests. Ever fearless in the discharge of your duty, you have won for yoxxself a warm place in our affections. We shall not forget the losing way in which you have present- ed the truth in public and private, and the skill with which you have brought things new and old from the sacred word. And we would not forget your estimable wife. While she has been prevented by circumstances from do- ing all we could have wished in church •work, we recognize that she bus well fulfilled her duty. We wish for hex many years of happiness, and trust that you together may be spared to enjoy the pleasure of a very prosper- ous future. rosper.ousfuture. In behalf of the congregation. In the speech which Dr. Wil- loughby made in reply, be spoke of his high appreciation of the kind- ness of the people of James street church to himself and his wife, and the sorrow which they felt at parting with their friends in Exeter. They would always have, he said, pleasant memories of the three years spent amongst them. Re ended with a prayer that God's blessing might, rest upon the congregation, and their next pastor. After partaking of supper the company dispersed, feeling deep re- gret that Dr. Willoughby's Ministry in Exeter was so near its end. The hearty good wishes of the congre- gation go with Dr. and Mrs. Willough- by, illoughby, and with Miss Harrison who ac- companies them to Forest.
