The Strathroy Age of last week boa the following account of a farewell pree- entation to Rev. W, T. Olnff, the Doming pastor of St. James. churoh, Stratford, and hie wife: Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Cluff, whose sojourn in Strathroy is feat drawing to a Diose, were agreeably surprised at the parish rooms of 95, John's choroh, last evening, where a large gathering of admiring friende, including not only members of the Episcopal church, but quite a number of outsiders as well gath- ered to spend a sooial hour, before the genial rector and his family say good- bye. The hall was neatly decorated for the occasion and the affair was carried out as informally and pleasantly as pos- sible. It was the last time they would be privileged to meet together as pastor and people and the oocaeion was, there- fore, marked by intermingled feel- ings of happiness and regret—pleased that their pastor has been selected for a more important charge and regretting that hie labor here, marked as it was by nothing but cordiality and agreeableness on every band, is about to close. The sincere sentiment in the hearts of all his parishioners and his hosts of outside friende as well, is clearly set forth in the following addrees which was read by L. H, Dampier at an opportnne time : Reverend W. T. 01aff: Rnv, AND Dealt Sm.— The members of St. John's church and other friends of yours have met together this evening to bid you farewell, and wish you theme in your new and greater field. We desire in the first piece to express our appreciation of your serviced since you came to St. John's parish over six years ago. During that time tbo most perfect harmony has reigned in our church, not a single discordant note bas been etrnok, and rector and people have worked together for the welfare of the church. Muth good has resulted from. your efforts. The words of counsel and eu000ragement that have fallen from your lips, have, we believe inspired many a kindly deed and word, and citified many an evil thought. Your influence for good will be sadly missed, not only in our ohurch, but in the community. Our material progress since yon Dame has been very marked. The interior of the churoh has been renovated and decor- ated and new lightning ftxtnrea installed at a coat of over 0400. We have built a new porch for the rectory, and had a walk laid in front of the thumb, each of which poet 51.00, A new furnace bas been put in the rectory at a cost of ono; bat the crowning glory of all, this Parish Home has been emoted, and less than 5500 is not provided for oat of a total cost of nearly 53,000, We say good bye to you with keen re- gret, knowtug that in losing you we are losing a zealous ohurabman, an earnest rentor, but above all a faithful friend. We rejoice in the preferment that you have earned at the honor of the Bishop, and pray that you may long be spared in health and strength to serve the Blaster in your new home. Itis our great pleasure to present to you and to your wife these gifts as a token of our esteem and a$oction, and to remind you of the years you epent ns rector of the church of St. John the Evangeliet at Strathroy. To yon and to Mre. Cluff we extend every kind wish and prayer for your fu- ture success and happinesaia your future life. Signed on behalf of the congrega- tion of Strathroy. August and., A.
