FAREWELL SERMON. -Last Sab- bath evening Rev. Mr, Edge, of Ontario St. Methodist church, preached his farewell sermon, taking as his text 2nd Cor., 12 chap., 11 yer. : "Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of oue mind, live in peach , and the love of Gob shutl t:e with you." Rev. Mr. Shilton, of the Rattenbury St. church was also on the pulpit platform and many of his congrega- tion were present. The pulpit desk and the choir dais were decorated with flowere. Rev. Mr. Edge touchingly referred to the many tender emotions called up by the word farewell, more especially when as in his case he had been treated with such loving Christian kindness during the three years he had been in Clinton. He had bad his cares, the congregation had had their cares and sorrows. He believed they had all struggled hard in the cause of the Master which had forged links of love between them that he hoped would grow all the stronger by sep- aration. Reminded them of the power of unity, the necessity of being united in all eeentials, and en- larged upon the benefits to be de• rived from living in peace. Paid a glowing tribute to the worth of his successor, Mr. Galloway, and asked their help continued to him. Ac- knowledged the benefit he had re- ceived from intercourse with Rev. Mr. Shilton and the ministers of other denominations in town, all of whom had treated him with the greatest Christian consideration. He would never forget the large - hearted kindness of the ladies of his own and other congregations ex- tended to him and his family when the hand of affliction had been laid upon members of his household. The discourse was full of human and spiritual pathos, and one can can well believe that 'there was not a single individual in all the vast as- sembly, which packed the church to overflowing, whose heart did not go out in its very fulness to the retir- ii g pastor, the efficacy of whose ministrations are acknowledged by all, and never more vividly realized than upon thin occasion.
