Rev. k.. H. Croly
As stated in these columns several
waeks ago, St. Paul's congregation
learned with the deepest regret, the
aanou, c matt cf Rev, E 11. Croly's
resignation. Mr. Croly has truly been
preacher, pastor and friend. As e
minister of St, Paul's, bis sermons
were elcquent and inspiring ; as a
pastor he was untiring in his goings in
and out among his people. Rev. Oroly
was not only minister of St, Paul's•
congregation, but was also a citizen,
in i• s fullest meaning, taking a deer
interest in the fraternal organizations
and everything that was for the gen-
eral welfare of our town,
Oa Sunday evening last, there was A
Large congregation, which taxed the
church to its greatest capacity to heat
the Reverend gentleman's farewell
sermon, which was truly a message
not soon to be forgotten. The town
of Wingham as a whole feel that they
havel lost an excellent citizen and wish
the Rev. Mr. Oroly, Mrs.. Choly and
family all that is best in the future
days. The following presentations
and addresses will give an idea of
the regret of his own Church at hie
departure. He left for his new charge

Dear Brother :-While it is with
keen regret we learn that you are
about to leave us, yet we desire to
express in a small measure our un-
bounded appreciation of your splendid
fraternal spirit. While a busy man,
yet you have always manifested a
keen interest in our association, and
by your presence, counsel and cheery
optimism have aided much to make
our work a success.
Your loyalty to the, principles of
our Order is unquestioned and your
sturdy patriotism and proteetantism
has made a deep impression on all our
minds.
Your association with us have re-
vealed a broad charity -and that is
characteristic of all true Orangemen,
"for we stand for equal rights to all
and special favors to .none," -an in•
tolerance against sham and deceit, and
au earnest and continuous endeavor to
promote the principles of our Noble
Order.
We appreciate your consistency and
loyalty, and trust that .in your new
field of labor you will have abundant
opportunity to sow the good seed of
Orangeism.
On behalf of L 0 L. No. 794, The
Scarlet Chapter and Lebanon Pre-
ceptory No. 126 of the Black Knights
of Ireland, we respectfully ask that
you will accept of this chair as a
souvenir of the pleasant associations
nit Wingham,-not that we imagine
for a moment that you have come to
the resting time of live-, but, we
fondly hope that in the eventide of
the day, when the busy labors are
Iver, that as you sit in comfort you
will not only dream dreams but see
visions. -a vision of the time when
the principles of Protestattism and
Orangeism has belted the world and
given to every man the blessing of
freedom of worship.
