Henry flracey, on the everting of Satur-
day, the 30th alt.,, and presented hini
with $100, accompawe i by the following
%ddress ;
'Dela PAsoj—We tFherepresentatives-

arness, robes, &c., are requested to
Irresent you, in. the name of the aforesaid
Eongregation, with one hundred dollars -
o assist you in procuring these eonveni- •
ric€;s and as a tangible evidence of our
respect ani love for you,. . Dear pastor,:
the are taught that "man is born to
rotittie, as the sploa fly. upward. " We
,reed: not therefore expect all sunshine,.
,here will be dark and cloudy days, our

or<ht may frown upon as, and what is
still iuore disheartening, God may for a.
;ire hide his face from us.. In these
uc:imstauces two things are most prec
ons, namely, s3 mpathy and good coon-
reL. You, as our pastor, have always;
'leets a< preeenle synip ithizer, ready to •

you have ever in prosperity and in ad- Fersity pointed us to • he Lamb of God
vho taketf-i awtay sin. Theis lay your

T.—bear friends, this is truly a
stnpzise,, audatte handsome present you.
faiirg is, perhaps, all the ,hare agreeable,
;oining as itdoes without anyintiuiation,
even: the slighest, - that we might look
star anything of the kind. Gifts from a
.orLgregatioui to their pastor are some-
times not veiny acceptable. If he is re-
Ceiving headequate. support —a small
salary, and that not promptly paid, or
allowed to fall into arrears, asis too fre-
quently the Case, it is hut a sorry amend
for 'such neglect, to pat the balance of
the stipend into the form of a present,
that the congregation may claim from
their aerkuawledgemeni< of liberality;
when really they don't deserve credit
for being just and honest,. But the con-
luet. of the Thames Road congregation
[ias been so_ entirely the opposite of
,his, that -the- purse your now offer m is,
tot only au the highest degree gratifying
Eo inee bat it is else most creditable to -
mar own liberality. bo fu nor the
salary falling behind here, yotr have al-
ways; since 1 became your pastor, paid
ifomptly to a day and paid sir months
n advance. 'There is another thing I
iannet. took ripen it€ this connection with
rut feelings ofirreat satisfaction. `,This
rear you hoe had rziore than, the ordin-
ry outlay in managing your affairs. In
