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.

Dr. Rosa sympathetically °ailed 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."
