TWO MINISTERS LEAVING
Two popular ministers of Clinton
have signified their intention o
seek a change of eliarge and one
leaves Clinton very shortly. Rev. L.
C. Harrison, who .has been. rector of
St. Paul's Anglican, church for the
past five years goes to Lucan, where
lie will assume charge, while the
Lucan rector will cone to Clinton.
This exchange has been. sanctioned
by Archbishop Williams and will
take place at the end of the present
menthe -
Mr. Harrison bas won many warms
friends during his residence in Clin-
ton and they are sorry to see him
go. He is quiet and unassuming, a
man with whop one does not become
acquainted in a day or so, but withal
a pian of understanding and deep
sympathies, and one whore to know
is to esteem and like. During the
past year Mr. Harrison met with a
severe affliction in the loss of his
wife, a woman of many charming
and womanly gifts, a loss which a-
roused the sympathies of all citizens
of the town. Warm good wishes
will accompany Mr, Harrison to his
new home and charge.
