Dr. Hurd spoke of his early experiences with the Romeo church, his-permanent installment after the six months, and the healing of the old divisions in the church. He said : " Twenty years and upward did this pastorate, thus begun, continue —nearly one-half of the church's entire existence, quite one-half, frac tions excluded, up to the time of its close. And now what shall be said of it? On looking back upon it it is to be gracefully admitted that,-though one of unceasing anxiety and toil, it was to me by far the pleas-antest period of my life. It embraced my chief life work, and was replete with substantial enjoyment. During all these years we dwelt together in the utmost harmony and love. I am sure that I loved you, and I was not without many tokens of its return."
