A correspondent of the Expositor, says .-
Rev. Mr; Stewart, of Clinton, preached in
the Bayfield Road Presbyterian church on
Sabbath last. His exposition nflet 22nd
chapter of Revelations was exceedingly
fine, new light seemed to be shed on every
verse as he went along. His text was
taken from the fifth ehapter of Romans,
20th verse, a text which has given rise to
as good deal of discussion of late years.
The sermon was thoroughly orthodox,
lucid and Iogical.
The Late S uiiiiel HHolmnies;
We regret to have to record the death
of another of the pioneers of Goderich
township, Samuel, Holmes, He was,born
in,County Kilkenny, Ireland, March 8th
1808, and had therefore reached bis nth
year.. He imiPnrated to Canada, along
with. others of the old residents , in 1880,
and after staying about a year in Streets-
ville came to the Huron tract, which, was:
igen being opened up, and settled on the
farm at Holtnesyille, which has since been
his home, where after years of toil and
endurance of the 'hardships' common to
the early settlers ofthis country, he gained
a competency; and spent his declining
years in peace and comfort. He took no
active part in public affairs. He was a
consistent member and generous supporter
of the Church of England, and delighted
to entertain its ministers, as well, indeed,
as-'athers at his hohie, •
By his uprightness 'in his dealings he
won the confidence and esteem of all with
�rhoirt•_he had business :relations. Hie
bereaved. widow and family mourn -the"
losmpfa kind. and affectionate husband
and father, His last illness was painful,
but borne with. fortitude,: and through the
whole be had a strongpresentiment that
his time here was rawing to a cease.
D uring the last diiy pr two of his. illness.
he sank very - rapidly; and 'died on th'e of.
ternoon of Saturday ,the 9th instant, in
great peace, and rejoicing in the assurance
of a glorious imruortality On Tuesday
a large number, assembled to-" pay •tlieir
last tribute of respect. The'Rev. Mr:
Craig conducted the service of the: house,
after which the body was interred in the
Goderieh cemetery' by the Rev. Archdea;
con Ellwood. p
He leases a widow,•sit sons Mid four
daughters, one of the fatter being Mrs:.G,
Sharman, . of Clinton. The farm lately
has been under the management of. Mr...1�IOIIIIS '• �i.O1�Octtinas :. and
Thos.'Holmes, and it is expected :that kis ', ,1C��,
brother Gabriel, who has been farming
in Manitoba, will sell out there, and as-
_stet in the management of the homestead.
• It is expected that the next request:. of 0I3l ,IS lei E$Q
the Syndicate will. be for the govern-
nient to hand over the Dominion to them; •
and they would do it.'
