A Most Successful Pastorate.-In-

and Ceeernonies.
The long, happy and most theoessful
pastorate of Rev. John Ross, D. D,,
oonnnotlon with Melville Presbyterian
ohuroh, Bruseels, was terminated this
week to the regret of not only the emigre-
getion referred to but to the community
at large. It was a cane, however, where
the question of health and perhaps lite
wne meets ad so that Melville people took
a philosuphici view of the situation and
with a desire to promote the beet
interests of their beloved pastor gave an
unwilling consent. Port Dalhousie, in
Eamilton Preebytery, in the new field of
labor into which Rev, Dr, Roes was in-

work will be mach lighter there aa the

Ross will du good work on his new charge
is a foregone conclusion and the Dal-
housie people are to be congratulated.
A large and splendid field awaits bis
successor in Bruasele.

op the fact that this was his first change,
the scene of hie first home -making and
he attachments were strong and would
never be forgotten. Only the question of
his health would have caused his removal
from a people so faithful and generous.
He urged duty doing on the part of the
congregation and hoped bye and bye a
joyous meeting to part no more would
be the portion of all. Many an eye Wee
beditneried with team and the service will
live long in the memory of those who
were present. The hymns selected for
the ocoasion were most suitable one being
"Blest be the tie that binds." In the
even ng the Scripture °loosen as the
tame of the aermou was the one used in
the introdnotory discourse of the pastor-
ate from which a warm gospel invitation
was preened upon probably the largest
audience ever assembled iu the edifice.

but he did his port most effectively.

To Bev, Dr. Bose
BELOVED PASTOR.- Upon the OM:Mai=
at your expected and regretted departure
and the breaking of the happy and blessed
tie that hes bound us together for more
than 26 yeara as pastor 'and people we
wish to give expression to our heartfelt
sorrow et this unexpected severance of
this relationship. You have endeared
yourself to tut a people by the faithful
performance of the manifold duties which
pertain to your office as pastor. Your
discoorees from the pulpit have always
been of the highest order, showing maid -
noun and prayerful preparation, great
depth of thoughtfal study and research
and the deliverance of the Berne has been
from the heart, neither mind nor body
being spared to oarry home the menage
with convincing power. Your guidance
and sympathy in all departments of the
altureh's work have been greatly apprec-
iated, each Soaiety receiving your kind
and stimuleting advice and encourage-
ment ae 0001LEn0II required, and your
pastoral work whicuh hes been no onerous
luta been faithfully performed. In your
fidelity to the aged, dolt add sorrowing
ones you have been as a ministering
augel, bringing joy, hope and brightness
int0 their clerk and saddened lives. To
the whole community your noble and
exemplary lite has been se a benediotiou.
The instep of the Mester'a approval has
not been withheld. When beginning
your work here as pastor of Melville
Church we had a membership of 117 to-
day we have a membership of 466, the
largest in the Presbytery of Maitland.
We also desire to bear testimony to your
dear partner in life, Mrs. Boss. She by
her kindness, tact and sympathy has en-
deared herself to every one in the con-
gregation. As a oo-worker in many
o ganizatione of the church she has prov-
en invaluable and we ask her to aocept
this olook as a memento of the many
heppy relationships tyhioh have seined
and as the hours pass and the obimee
ring 001 their melodious peal may you be
reminded of your friends here and look
forward to the happy reunion in the
larger congregation, where severed ties
shall be no more. While expreesing our
heartfelt sorrow at the eeparation yet we
are glad that we oan ever be united in
spirit and thea your work shall ever
remain a testimony to your faithfulness.
The friendship of Ulm past years will
we hope Stili continue, for we trust that
neither time nor distance shall be able to
destroy or even impair them. Our
prayer is that God's °Indeed blesaiug
may be with you and yours and that y u
may be all spared for many years at use-
ful work in the Master's vineyard and at
last receive His blessed ealutation "Well
done."
