review your labors here, and desire to
tell you what will rejoice you most, that
your labor hail not been in vain in the
Lord ; that you have helped nil and
done us good. Your preaching and ad-
dressee have been oharacterized not only
by tact and ability but by deep spiritual-
ity, richly inetruoting us to the knowledge
of the Scriptures and promoting in us an
assured faith in the Saviour revealed
therein. We wish, however, in addition
to our expression of thanks to present
you with this Teacher's Bible end this
gold watch chain and charm as a more
tangible assurance of our high esteem.
We tenet these gifts will often remind
you of Roe's young people and oongrega-
tion, and while we regret your removal
and know that our official relationship
will so soon be severed, we feel assured
that the unity of heart and epirit we
have enjoyed in the past will nob be
sundered. Your many friends hare wish
you abundant 000oe00 on your new field
of labor, and we indulge iu the hope that
you will some day return to ocoupy the
parsonage a0 our pastor. Signed by Mies

Baldwin conducted an interesting Oon•
flrmation service in St. John's church,
Brnaeele, on Tuesday evening of this
week. Owing to the reverend .gentleman
missing the morning train it was neces-
sary to send 6 conveyance to Blyth to
meet him on the arrival of the evening
train from London. This necessarily
threw the service considerably later than
was arranged for. The introductory part
of the exercises wee conducted by the
rector, Rev. Mr. Abey, and on the ar•
rival of the Bishop a very profitable ad•
dress was given on the Confirmation
prayer ae outlined for these occasions
viz, :—"Defend, 0 Lord, this Thy servant
with Thy heavenly Grace, that he may
continue Thine forever ; and daily in•
ore6se in Thy Holy Spirit more and
more, until he come unto Thy everlasting
Kingdom." The threeoints dwelt upon
were (1) Purchase ; (2) Obedience ; (8)
Maintenance. Thirty candidates then
received the rite of confirmation at the
hands of the Bishop, the olaee Consisting
of 28 females and 7 males. After this
solemn duty Bishop Baldwin spoke wise,
fatherly and very practical wordf to the
class and congregation generally on im-
portant duties if growth is to be made in
Christian life, (1) Read the Scriptures,
regularly and eyetematioally ; (2) Prayer,
social and private, as a heart or home
without prayer is nothing lees than
pagan ; (3) Go out with the creed "I be-
lieve in Jesus Christ,"—pact, present and
future. It was nearly 11 o'olook when
the service was brought to a oouolueion.
There wee a large congregation present
and every one should be the better of be.
ins there. Rev. Mr. Farley and Mr. Per-
kins, a divinity student, both of Gerrie,
were in the andieooe.
