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.

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.
