A Visit to be Shared with Lucknow
......,
Dear Sentinel:
•
Yesterday I visited West Tor-
onto, the district where : the late
Dr. D. T. L. McKerroll, also' well
known in Lucknow, had 'spent so
many. years. At a littleafter• nine
in the morning I climbed aboard
a, Dundas ;street car. Asking : the
rinotor-rnan-conductor . whether
the car crossed Laws Street, he
grunted. something • about St.
John's Square. 1.. asked if he
would please call it•out, Fie gave -
pp audible answer .lior any .vis-
ible • .change Of expression. Yet.
something seemedto tell rile that
all, would 'be well. It; was a dull
autumn Morning' cloudy...'. and
chill: Such .an answer was thus in
keepng with the` weather, un -
sunny but safe! St -John's Square
came in 'due 'time and with it
Laws Street, My conductor turn-
ed out to be guide' as , well and
a good oneat that. ` He added
"Laws" • .to 'his usual St, john's
Square call and, pointed saying,
"There • -it is over there ,on the
left. Go through the gas station
arid you're right at it".•
•
A. couple of hundred . yards.
Walk brought me to the home
of the late Doctor of Divinity, my
-inspiration when .1 was. `a. boy to
enter the • ministry, ' and 'a friend
and •counsellor for •.many' years.
It was a ''famjliar, house when it
appeared, but always • entered
from Annette St. up, and not as
this . ti
Hereit stood, just as if, nothing
unusual , liad• happened, no crape
on the door, • no sobbing or sigh-
ing from within. That's. as :he.
himself would have it; I thought.
Not i,ong ago I hadcome out of
the .house with him. He had roll=
ed p his. historic Genevan gown
worn once by a church leader in
the Mother Land, put it in . a
•black satin bag, slung 'it over
his shoulder and started. of for
a preaching .engagement in the
country.. And now again had' he
not set off in .much the same
manner? This time he had gone
ST.HELENS
to higher service among_ the iris: -
mortals. ,
A few 'moments pause at the
door gave . evidence either that
the door bell was not ringing or.
that no one was home. I_ went on
to Victoria Church around the
corner ' where the Doctor had
ministered. ,.Though it was still
early there were people seated in
silence in • 'several... pews :,'and
others were steadily coming `ap,E
By 'eleven' the church"was full:
Early in the service, the Min-
ister, .Mr. ' MacKay .announced
that .the session'; had 'arranged'
that there ..be a brief ,memorial
period -in rnemor-y of ..their , late
pastor. -'A hushed' silence filled
the place. Heads were. slightly
bowed and the minister spoke .a
few words somewhat as follows.
"I do ' not intend . to make a
eulogy. The life. of the late Dr.
MOKerroll .speaks for itself, His
ministry here and: elsewhere is
the ' best eulogy possible. Many
a" home and many a life have
been different because he lived
and because he `was called to
serve the •Hiring. Lord. ^Iri •.tirties
of joy, he was a joyous compan-
ion.. In services • of worship he
was a reverent Jeader and„rnem_
orable teacher.' In. times of sor ..
row he was a haven "of refuge.
In memory of such .a one it is -
not fitting that we only sing a
funeral dirge:. We pause to wit-
ness the corning of a; soldier be-
-re -the Kirig-
e-re-the•:Kind to recerv.e• the trib-
ute, "Well done, good and faith-
ful servant": .•
The, Minister' then, prayed; com-
mitting the. remembered one to
God the heavenly ruler.,arid com-
mitting his bereaved w'fe to the
_Either's__care.-:and—keee ng. --y
.The singing of . "For All Th.e
