 My Dear Friends, ,

 grel lit tlu> separation \vlil(;li lias ^iven rise to ytmr ex-

 During the (;lglif. yearn in wliieli ] iiave endeavon'd to 
 diseharge the duties of my saered olliec in Montreal, 
 I have been constantly, eheeriHl and encouraged by all 
 classes of the i)epple, and your kind far(!\vell, pro.eeedin«r 
 from so many intelligent men, holding various religious 
 opinions, is a pleasing evidenee that it was possible to 
 conciliate? their good-will and friendship without com- ' 
 promising that fidelity which I Ospcciuily owe to the 
 Churcli of whidr I am a Minister. 
 
 Happy, inde(!d, should I be could I apply to myself, 
 in their simple meaning, the expressions of approbaljon 
 which you have embodied in your aHe'Ctionate address ; 
 but a consciousness of ^ost? frailties and innrmifies 
 common to humanity, cpnstrains me to fear that your 
 sympathies have thrown ^^veil over my manifold imper- ' 
 fections, and have prompted you to take a far too partial 
 view of my ministrations among you. 
 
 It is scarely necessary to remind you, my friends, who 
 were more immediately under my pastoral oare, that the 
 Churcli teaches us to look rather to the existence of a 
 Divine authority to minister in holy things than to the 
 individual men who may be entrusted with a part of.

 In revicwirig the history of our Chureh, since its erec-

 Chrisliuns, inany of whom have siiicc gone to *»the

 When our Church was destroyed by lire,, we were a^min

 zealous in i)rom()ling your liedeemer's Kingdom, and our 
 vvclfure, immediately took the cause in hand; and by

 Canada and the United States, which, with that ccilhx-te^ 
 by the untiring energy of our own beloved Pastor and

 My Dr^xn Friends, 
 
 While I participate with nincerlty in the regret 
 which yon expre«R at our upproaehing separatitm, I re- 
 ceive with 'pleasure your kind art<l cordial address. 
 
 With an interest incnMrsing year by year, from the time 
 when first I joined in your worship— then you were u 
 '"^ little IJoek" "assembled together in an iipwer room^'— - 
 1 have watched your progress as a Congregiiti0»ij and ad- 
 mired the energy by which you weri' enabled io remove 
 many obstacles which tended to impede, th(! j-ireetion of 
 your first Church, and after its destruction, to build up 
 your present beautiful " Ifeuse of Prayer." 
 
 To the unobtrusive zeal, pious energy and discreet ex- 
 
 ertioiis of your amiable Pastor you owe a d<'ep debt of 
 
 gratitude in this matter, and on his account as well as 
 
 „yautrown, I lieartily congratulate you that your Church is 
 
 free froryi pecuniary liability. 
 
 I congratulate you for his sake, because I have observed 
 that wherever— in this country — a debt rerhains due 
 upon a Church for any length; of lime — ^th(! amount 
 is. invariably drawn, i|f paid at^l, in some shape or other 
 from the scanty income of the Mhrfster. And I rejoice 
 for your sakes, because yqp will have secuwrd to yoijr-

 man's reply, a donation, consisting of an elegant piece

 Rev AND DEAR Sir, ! ' 
 
 Your brief ministrations in charge of St. Paul's 
 Church having most unexpectedly come to a close, it be- 
 comes the duty of a congregation deeply indebted to you, 
 to record their grateful sense of the able and successful 
 services with which they have been favored during a pe- 
 riod of peeuliar dilHcuUy. . '■ 
 
 The undersigned members of the congregation of St. 
 Pallas, theretoro, avail themselves of the occasion of 
 your separation from them to express their deep regret at 
 the loss of your zealous and efficient labors, and to as- 
 sure you of the high estimation in which they hold you 
 as a Christian Minister and a warm-hearted friend. Nor 
 can they take leave of you without remembering, in their 
 sorrowful adieus', the affectionate partner, whose sympa- 
 thies and services have aided you in the discharge "of

 perfect it in the joys of salvation, is the fervent prayer bl,

 M^ DEAR Friends, ^ 
 
 t1^ It wmy as you say, during a period of peculiar 
 difficulty, th^ Ijwas requested to labor among yon, and 
 though my ministrations have been brief, and unexpect- 
 edly determinejj, still there is reason to bless* God that I 
 have not been disappointed of my hope, and I leave you 
 comforted by the assurance that, for His dear sake^our 
 Great Exemplar— -who came to promote peace on earth, 
 and good will amongst men— you will seek more and 
 more to keep the unity of the spirit in the bonds of peace, 
 i ihank you mo^t sincely for this aflTecting mark of your 
 good will and kindly feeliag, They^reju^dle words 
 which express your regrets, foHlieyawaken in my own 
 breast the seiise of a real soi^w. Thus, it may be, that 
 our a,cquaintance commerr^ng in trouble and unhappi- 
 sness, haa— like the experience of a common danger — 
 ^posed our hearts to sympathy and abiding friendship. 
 I atn sensibly touched by your kind mention of Mrs. 
 Adam^n ; and, while I thanlf you in her name and my 
 own for^this mark of your thought, I should desire to be 
 regarded as one of yourselves in ascribing to her a merit 
 which my own experience tells me is deserved. For 
 thirty-tliree ye^s my wife has indeed been " a help meet

 mon lot— she has ever hastened to'strengthffn, advice, and 
 console me. And, my friends, be well assured that - 
 whatever may be the changes and chances which ii^afi 
 us, one of the sunny memories of our lives will spring 
 from the recollection of your friendship, and of this proof ^.^ 
 of your affection. ,

 prove by our exertions to strengthen the hands of the ex- 
 perienced and exempliiry Clergyman who .has been ap- 
 pointed to labor amongst us^that all contention has ceas- 
 ed, that every cloud has passed away from our thoughts, 
 and that henceforth, siA'king personal predilections, smd 
 ignoring individual preferences, we will strive more and 
 more that Christ and His Church shall be all in all.
