Ulverton, Jan. 19, 1870.

Dear King,

I have just written to Tambs, and inter alia isked him to offer
you my congratulations on your wise and commendable step —
entrance into the Ministry. The Bishop told me of it when in
Durham isi Monday and of your appointment to St. Matthew's,
Quebec.

Of course there are many reasons why you should do as you
intend and I am not in the least surprised to find you taking
such a step.

You had always an incUnation that way — your abilities point
that way— and chiefly the Diocese would not willingly let fall from
its roll of laborers the name of King.

How sagely I am talking — like some wise father, instead of
the inexperienced, unwise and weak one that I am. But, dear King,
I feel it, and therefore naturally say it : for certainly nothing has
given me greater pleasure since my own ordination than to hear of
yours in prospect.

And all in the Diocese who have dearly at heart the interests
of the Church will feel the same, when it is generally known. You
know you are no one's pet darling but self-made, standing upright,
independent. And these are the men we want.

My best wishes and sincere prayers (however little they may

avail) are ever yours.

J. FREDERIC CARR.

Durham, April 28th, 1871.

{From our Tr (welling Correnpondenl).

The Rev. E. A. W. King was instituted into this Mission on
Friday last, the 28th instant. Dr. Nicolls, the Rural Dean, was the
institutor, and was assisted by the Revs. H. Roe, (examining chap-
lain to the Bishop), H. J. Petry,G. H. Parker, and F. J. Alnatt. The
Rev. E. King leaves Quebec very deeply regretted, as has been very
substantially shown. After the institution, the five ministers and
others were all most hospitably entertained by Gardner Stevens, Esq.

Quebec, May 26th, 187 1.
Dear King,

Dr. Nicolls gave me your letter of Institution which I enclose.

This is for you to keep. It is your license.

I hope you are doing well and feeling comfortable at Durham.

That you are doing well I have no doubt, but what I mean is, that

I hope you are feeling comfortable in doing it.

We opened St. Matl's School House on Wednesday night, with

a concert, which went off very well.

Faithfully yours,

J. W. QUEBEC.

Quebec, February 26th, 1874.
My Dear King,

I have just got home or rather I have just got up after a good
night's sleep, and I cannot help writing a line to tell you how much
pleasure my visit to Durham has given me, and how much I rejoice
to see bow God is blessing • ar ministry.

When I think of what the Mission was and see what it is, and

IS likely to become, I am filled with thankfulness, and although I

know very well that a good beginning was made by Mr. Roe and

Mr. Carr, I know also how much there is besides a beginning that

goes to the building up of a church / and feeling confident that you

have done and are doing a great work for our Lord and Master in

Durham, I cannot resist the desire I have to write to you, and tell

you of my joy in you and your work.

Believe me co be.

My dear King,

Ever yours,

J. W. QUEBEC.

24U1 May, 1873.

On the fifty-fourth anniversary of the birth of our beloved
Sovereign, Queen Victoria, a little Picnic and Concert were held at
Durham, in connection with the dedication services of their new
church, a l>eautiful and creditable little edifice.

The concert in the evening opened with the Lennoxville Chorus
by a quartette of gentlemen.

In the course of the entertainment, the Rev, Mr. King was
presented with a pair of slippers by the English boys of Durham, as
a mark of their gratitude for his solicitous care of their welfare.

May 24th, 1874.
To THK Rev. E. A. W, King, M. A.,

We, the young people of this part of the mission, take this oppor-
tunity of expressing the very high appreciation which we entertain
towards you as our clergyman, and we desire you to accept this small
offering as a token of our gratitude and esteem.

We feel that words or anything else but very iiiadequitely
express even a measure of the regard and sympathy which you have
ever merited from us, or even which we wish now to convey to you,
but we hope that the accompanying tribute may show in what direc-
tion the current of our affection runs.

It will not be necessary for us to assure you that you will always
have our most earnest prayers that God may bless you both person-
ally and also in your labours amongst us.

Believe us ever to be

Your affectionate Parishioners.

of the mission of the Township of Durham.

Rev. and Dear Sir.

We, the congregation of Saint Paul's Church, L'Avenir. have
learned with regret that you have, no doubt afier due deliberation
decided to sever your connection with us as our Pastor. The
arduous duties which devolved on you in the discharge of your
sacred office for a period exceeding four years, together with the
management of secular affairs relative to the completion and repair
of the church edifices over which you were placed, have doubtless at
times been very pressing upon you, but they were, nevertheless,
discharged in a manner profitable and satisfactory to all, and they
will henceforth be remembered with a degree of satisfaction and
gratitude which words fail to express.

Please to except this small purse as a token of our feelings and of
our appreciation of your ministrations among us, as our much
beloved and ever respected Minister, and in whatever place you
may hereafter in the Providence of Almighty God be sent to labor,
may His constant care and His protecting hand be always with you,
and ''when our earthly house of this tabernacle shall be dissolved " may
we all meet in the Paradise of the blessed dead is the suicere wish
and the earnest hope of this congregation.

The adddress from St. James' Church, South Durham, was
delayed in its presentation, being delivered with a purse to the
Rev. E. A. W. King at the station prior to his departure, and can-
not be here quoted, but it was similar in character to the others.

The Reverend gentleman made suitable replies to all the
addresses and took an affectionate leave of his people.

Dear Sir,— "We have heard that there are certain changes to
be made in this Diocese, including our own Incumbency. The
people of this Mission, and we believe the people of the
other Missions, viz.: L'rVvenir and Hpper Duiham, would be
pleased to have you return as our minister. We all feel that you
have labored hard and energetically amongst us, and we think it
for the interest of this Mission and the Church at large, an the
people have expressed their wishes on all sides to ha^^e you return
as our clergyman and pastor. We are sorry to say that our Churcli
is not making the progress that Wi's continuing when your left it,
and we feel certain would revive again if you returned.

Several of our congregation have spoken about getting up a
petition for your return, but we thought it best to write yoii first on
the subject.

We have lost some of our members by death. Pop

DixviLLE, Oct. 25, 1877.
Dear Mr. King,

I have just learned that there is a prospect of your leaving
Magog. Is there any truth in the rumor ? Where do you expect to
be sent, or don't you know yet? Mr. Henderson is about I / leave

Dunham to take Mr. I>ohlcy's place, in Montreal. How would yoil
like the rectory of Dunham ? J am sure you would be just the man
for the place, and you would receive a hearty welcome from many.
I am sure you would be happy there. There is a strong Church
party who always unite to support the clergyman ; and what is better
still, there is a good prospect for a great increase. The parish
only needs to be worked, as you well kno'.'- liow, in order
to have a congregation of from yo to 400 every Sunday. The
.salary is $800, with a rectory and glebe, a part of which is the
income of an endowment.

I know of no place where a working man would receive a better
return for his labor, not in money, but in Church growth.

Will yju think the matter over seriously?

Rev. E. a. W. Kino, M. A.,

Magog.

I am, yours as ever,

ALBERT STEVENS.

•

Dunham, (Juk., Nov. r4th, 1877.

My Dear Mr. King.

At a Vestry Meeting, I proposed that our wardens should write
and ask you if you would come to us in Mr. Henderson's place ; but
1 was told that you had accepted an appointment. Should you
mind telling -ne if it is so, or if you would care to come, as the men
proposed may yet fail. Mr. H. continues to take Sunday work till
Dec. ist.

I shall always retain a pleasant memory of your hospitality to
us as we passed through your lovely mission.

With kindest wishes,

I am, yours sincerely,

T. H. G. WATSON.

^'Y Dear ^\u. Kino. ^

Thank you for your kind letter, and thank you for the kind
invasion, which my brolhur thinks is for me (the brother in Holy
Orders.) ^

We are sorry to lose all chance of getting you here, but we
quae agree with you thac it would not be right to leave a charge in
which you are but newly settled.

I will remember to turn my wishes into prayers for you. May I
ask for your prayers for my ./////v n'co?rrr, if it is God's wi/i.
We all unite in best wishes for you in your work.

Sincerely yours,

To THE Rev. E. A. W. King.

Rev. Sir.— We feel that we cannot let this opport-.mty pass

without thanking yoi; very cordially for the interest you ]■ .ve shewn

in our welfare during the time you have been in our midst. Your

duties as our pastor during the past two years have been arduous

ones, as we know full well. Theiefore we have had your interest in

our behalf more particularly brought before us. We feel great

pleasure in thanking you at the close of your official labors amongst

us, and trust that in the future you will sometimes think of us and

pray for our future welfare. We pray to God that he will give you

health and strength to carry out your duties in your new home, and

give you every comfort in this life, and a crown of glorv in the life

to come, is the sincere wish of your congregation at Riviere du Loup

{en bas), and that you will accept this tray as a small token of our

esteem.

From the " intrwss," Sept. 23, 1885.

The Rector of Levis and His Parishoners.

At the close of six years' work as rector of Levis and South
Quebec, the Rev. Ernest A. Willoughbv King was presented •.viih
the following address : —

To the Rev. E. A. W. King, M.A. :

Rev. and Dear Sir, — As officers of the congregation of Holy
Trinity Church, Levis, we have been commissioned to ask your
acceptance of a purse of money, presented as a token of the affec-
tion and esteem in which you are held by the members of the Church
of England residing in Levis and its vicinity.

It is well known that far higher interests than the interest in
pecuniary gain have ruled your conauct during the six years through
which you have labored so assiduously in this parish.

The monetary return that has been made to you has been felt
to be inadequate by those whom you have served so well, and so,
also, is the gift felt to be that is now presented to you — inadequate
both as regards your own deserts and also as regards the love for
you that is entertained by those who have contributed to it.

In the order of things in which man " never continueth in one
stay," the dearest ties must sooner or later be broken. One such
tie is that which binds priest . nd people together.

We grieve that the time of parting between yourself and ^he
church members in Levis has come. We pray Almighty God that
the change may be directed for good both to your own soul and to
the souls of others.

And, with sincere good wishes for your happiness and success,
we remain, dear sir.

Yours truly,

L. C. HAMEL. ) ^, ,
J. THOMPSON, j Churchwardens.

Levis, r.Q., Sept. \<)th, 1885.

The address was read by Major Hamel and the purse presented
by Mr. Joshua Thompson. It contained seventy five dollars.

In reply Mr. King said, amongst o.her things, that he was
much gratified in heart, and very tbankful to God that what he had

been enabled to do in the parish had been appreciated His
remov^il had not been of his own seeking, and he hoped he was
right in beheving it to be a providential call to other duties He
valued tha generous gift of his parishioners, the more because he
knew a real sacrifice was represented by it.

The wardens also handed Mr. King a copy of the resolutions
passed at a recent vestry meeting expressing -regret at the terrnina-
tioh of his long and faithful services," and wishing him '' God speed"
in his new position.

After the mustering of the Sunday-school another address (from
the scholars) was read by Harry Tofield, and was accompanied bva
purse of six dollars.

To the Rev. E. A. IV. King, M. A. :
Dear Sir,

The young people attending the Sunday-school connected with
the Holy Trinity Church, Levis, desire to express their gratitude to
you for the unwearied attention you have given to the affairs of the
school, and the efforts you have made so continuously to promote
the interests of the scholars. The remembrance of your kindness
will always, they trust, have a warm place in the hearts of those who
have been benefited by your prayers, your precepts and your exam-
ple. It has been with feelings of the deepest regret that they have
learned of the termination of your labors amongst them, and of your
acceptance of a distant charge. FeeHng their loss, they, at the same
time, hope and believe that in your new field of duty, amongst in-
creased numbers, your usefulness will be extended.

They could wish that the accompanying gift was moro in propor-
tion to their affection and respect. Such as it is, it is accompanied
with their heartfelt good wishes for your happiness and prosperity.

Signed, on behalf of the Sunday-school scholars, this 20ih day
of September, A.D., 1885.

HARRY A. TOFIELD,
C. W. ANDERSON,
ALBERT E. HENNINGSON.
In reply, Mr. King said he deserved but little credit for any in-
terest he had taken in the Sunday-School, because he was naturally

\CoP!(^L OJ TBiriMOi^iHi,,^

fCU^tl, 'eh

very fond of children, and was always delighted to be surrounded by
young and happy faces.

He valued the purse most highly as their own personal offering,
and would devote it to a photograph of the Church, which he would
hang up as a constant reminder of them and their parents, and the
services held therein. Alter a few words of co'unsel in the spirit of
Bishop Ken's beautiful words : —

" That with the world, myself and Thee,
I ere I sleep at peace may be."

Mr. King thanked the children heartily for their presentation, and
took his farewell of them and the teachers.

Mr. King began his work in Montreal, as Principal of the school
at Cote St. Antoine, on the 2nd instant, but he has been going back
to Levis for Sunday morning duties because no appointment has yet
been made to the vacancy in his late parish.
