During your year of labor amongst us you have, under all circumstances, boon a plain sued sin- cere advocate of the Truth, and one whose daily walk and conversation bas been such as b000moth him whose life is hied with Christ in God. We cannot for- got your untiring efforts in our revival, and although et, times, diecouragoments arose, yet, "Laboring on at God's com- mand and offering all your works to Him" you were enabled to press forward with the work, and as the result many were brought into the fold, who, if faith- ful to the grace given them, will ".]feet with you on the banks of the river and sing of salvation forever and over." Now ILS you intend to more fully prepare yourself for the highly noble work you have chosen, we pray that yon may be blessed with health and strength of mind and body to oogage in your studios, and long bo spared to labor for the Master. We now ask von to accept this present as a souvenir of your stay with us, and you may rest assured that you will not soon be forgotten by us, With good wishes for your future prosperity, in behalf of the members of tine ahurah we bill you farewell.

Sm,—I would like to say a few words in regard to people coming from the townships of Grey and McKillop and taking sand off the 7th con., and leaving the place in a very dangerous state. It seems to me that the people aro not aware that there was a law passed a few years ago to the effect that any person taking sand or gravel out of the township shall pay 25 cento per load. Nov, Mr. Editor, I think it S not right for them to come and take sand and gravel and not pay a cont toward keeping up the road. This spring there ]las been a good few dollars worth gone out of this pit and w0 have not received one cent for it or any- thing to keep up the road. I think our Council ought to look after it, or appoint some ono to do that. Dr. Holmes, of Goderieb, used to say that he could make better time on the 7311 cou. than any oth• or lino in the township, but I think it would puzzle him, or a lawyer, to make time on it now. It is very little better than the olcl log crossings of yore, The people are beginning to kick, and it is time. The fall will be at hand soon and farmers will have to draw out their gram and wood and we want the road proper. ly attended to. I hope it is not too late yet for our Council to do something about the matter mentioned. If not they will stand a very poor chaise at the next election. Yours, tea., July 2, '89.
