DEAR SISTER. --It is our earnest wish at this time to express to you some ap- preciation of your work in our church since your coming among us. You have ever been earnest in your duties as one of Christ's own and your untir- ing efforts in the different .societies of our church will ever be remembered with gratitute. We have also learned through your example and influence, even while passing through, the deep- est affliction, to cheerfuly say, even so dear Lord, for it seemeth good in Thy sight. As slight token of our respect and love for von we ask you to accept this gift and as God has seen fit to transfer you to a new field of labor may His watchful care ever accom- pany you daily, guarding you in the greenest of pasture. Although our paths now are severed for a time our prayer is that in some future time we may all meet in" that Heavenly man- sion, where those who meet on that eternal shore shall never part again.

PRESENTATION. -On Saturday even- ing last the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Elliott was the scene of agathering of a number of friends for the purpose of expressing their regret on the occa- sion of the departure of the family from the neighborhood. Both Mr. and Mrs. Elliott have been ardent church workers, and in social circles are high- ly esteemed. As a tangible token of the esteem and regard in which they are held by their friends they were presented with a handsome and valu- able tea service. They leave for their new home with the wish accompany- ing them that the bright prospect be- fore thein may ever be realized. Mr. Elliott left for Winnipeg Monday ev- ening, while Mrs. Elliott will visit at her old home near Toronto prior to leaving for the West. PASTOR LEAVING.—Rev. B. L. Hut- ton, who has been in charge of the Methodist church here for the past three years will leave in a few days for his new appointment. The Rev. Hut- ton on leaving here for his new field of labor bears with him, we are, as- sured on all hands, the unqualified re- spect of all with whom he has been as- sociated during bis residence here. He has labored earnestly, faithfully and with marked intelligence in Centralia and perhaps one of the highest com- pliments that can be bestowed on a Methodist minister is that he wears well. This may be truly said of our friend, Mr. Hutton. The influence of his guiding hand was felt in all depart- ments of the church work alike. Among the young people as well as the old and in the spiritual as well as the financial life of the congregation was the result of his energy. The town of Wyoming has secured a thorough gentleman, a man of much force of character and an earnest ambassador for the Master in Rev. Hutton. We welcome Rev.
