• Presentation: Address and presentation to the Rev. John F. T. Crampton, Rector of Aughrim, by his Parishioners, 4 Jul 1873, Infant School House, Aughrim, Galway, Connacht, Ireland. We feel great pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our columns with reference to the pleasing announcement of an address and presentation to the Rev. John F. T. Crampton, Rector of Aughrim, by his Parishioners. Both speak well for the kind and cordial feeling existing in that parish between pastor and people.

PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS TO THE REV JOHN F. T. CRAMPTON, B.A.

On Wednesday, the 4th instant, in the Infant School-house, Aughrim, at the hour of 7 o'clock, p m, the Parishioners assembled in large numbers, and a very handsome Illuminated Address, together with a richly and ornamented Timepiece, were presented to the Rev. John F. T. Crampton, as a token of esteem and affection after his long connection with the Parish, on his return from Italy, after an absence of six months, where he had been for the benefit of his health.

The Address was done in the highest style of art, and reflected the greatest credit on Mr Waller, of Dublin. The magnificent Clock was supplied from the workshop of Mr M. Carty, Duke Street.

The address and reply are as follow: - REV. AND DEAR SIR, - We, the undersigned, being your Parishioners in the Union of Aughrim, cannot allow the present favourable opportunity to pass without conveying to you the earnest assurance of the intense satisfaction it affords us to welcome you back to the scene of your Ministerial labours. Deeply regretting the cause which led to your separation, we now rejoice to think your brief sojourn on the Continent has so improved your health that, in the good providence of God, we may confidently look forward to many additional years' duration of those close and intimate relations which have for more than a quarter of a century existed between us. When our thoughts run back over this long period - during which you have been our Pastor - we cannot fail to recognise, and acknowledge, your untiring zeal in the discharge of your Parochial duties - your faithful preaching of the Word of God, in its purity and simplicity - your uncompromising fidelity to sound Protestant principles - your earnest anxiety to have our children trained up in the way they should go, and the unusual success with which it has pleased the Lord to crown your efforts, evidenced not only by the rich spiritual blessings of which many, through your instrumentality, have been, and are, partakers; but also by great temporal beliefs which have almost invariably accompanied the liberal and religious education bestowed in the Schools of this Parish. These qualifications in you - the highest which can characterise a Christian Minister, and to which we gratefully bear witness - have so endeared you to your people in Aughrim, that we hail with much pleasure your return to resume in our midst the important, solemn, and onerous duties of your exalted office. - As a small token of our esteem and attachment we beg your acceptance of the accompanying Timepiece, which will serve as a slight memento of the present auspicious occasion; and, in conclusion, heartily praying for Mrs. Crampton, your amiable family, and yourself the blessing of length of days and much prosperity in everything but especially in the highest sense of the word.
We are, your attached Parishioners, [Signed on behalf of the Parishioners and others.]

Wm. Ussher, Rochfort Wade.}Church Wardens

MY DEAR FRIENDS, - I thank you heartily for your genial address and generous present. I shall ever cherish the remembrance of the affectionate relationships which have so long existed between us. If I have been enabled to serve you the praise is due to God alone, from whom all grace proceeds. It was only my duty, and has been a grateful task, sweetened by your kind indulgence and approval. At a time when so many are growing intoxicated with the Babylonian Cup. I am thankful that you have retained a relish for the simple and sublime Gospel of the Grace of God, and that you have not "turned away your eyes from the truth and been turned unto fables". May God enable us for ever to hold fast by the great Scriptural principle of Salvation, full and free by Christ alone, through faith alone, and may we ever reject the teaching which substitutes salvation by sacraments, by priests or by obedience to human ordinances or ritualistic observances. Let us strive to show forth in our lives the power of a simple dependence on the Person, Work and Offices of our Blessed Lord, not only to purge the conscience from guilt, but to sanctify the heart, ennoble the character and fill the soul with love, joy, and peace in the Holy Ghost. - I remain your grateful and affectionate Pastor,

John F. T. Crampton
