PARKHILL SAID GOOD BYE TO RECTOR Mee,
The Parkhill Gazette in its last issue
had the following The largest con-
gregation that has met in St. James's
church for some years assembled on
Sunday evening last to hear the part-
ing words of their rector, who is about
to remove to Clinton. The Rev, Mr,
Gunne has been stationed here nearly
four years and under his direction the
Parish of Parkhill and Greenway has
made substantial progress. Mr. Gunne
is riot only well liked by the people of
his own ohurch but is very popular
with all denominations. The reverend
gentleman chose for his text "Awl
now, brethern, I tommend you to God
and to the word of his grace," Acts
20, 82. Rev, Mr. Gonne will .leave in
a few days for Clinton, to which par-
ish he has been unanimously called by
the people and. appointed by the
Bishop. His removal from here'
though felt most by his owir church,
Will be a loss to the town arid will be
much regretted by all the denomina-
tions. Broad in his views and syn -
pebbles he became popular with all
classes of our eitizens. Ile was a
Christian, ininister first ; denomina-
tionalism was a secondary thing with
him. Ilis attractive personality, more
even than hie ripe scholarship and
reeognized abilityf made him a force
for good in the community, apart
from his pulpit ministrations. Strong
and decided in his opinions he was
not impatient of the views of others
ami was willing to recognize what was
good. and true wherever it might be
found. Though a scholar and a reader
and devoted to his specialwork he was
practical enongh to take an interest hi
What Materially coneerned town end

white Parkhill loses riot only a cap-
able and devoted minister but also a
