Rev, Dr.ICaven,
OF xxoZ COLLL••=15, TORONTO.
On Sunday next, be,above eminent
divine will conduct tl a services in the
Wingham Presbyteria`L church. That
being the mse, a few Rea- s in reference to
the life and work of Dr: even will be in
place : .
William ()even was born in the parish
of Kirkcolm, Wigtonsl ire, Scotland, on
December nOth, 1830, `klis early educa-
tion began under his 'father, Mr. John
Caven, a school teacher'tnd superintendent
and a man of high trental endowments
and blameless life. In 1817, the family
removed to Canada ane lived for many
years in the Township c.. North Dumfries.
In those days the prof,,ssioual studios of
candidates for the =Metre, of the United
Presbyterian Chureli ,in Canada were
carried on in the Syn.d'ri seminary in
London under the liiv. iliiasn Proudfoot,
whose name sho' be held in grateful
reine:nbrance, not only ; for his genuine
aatlides and personal north, but also for
the great and inportarA work he did in
the foundation period -o£ our Church's
history. In his stude4 days Dr. Caven's
work gave indicationsC t the special lines
in which he afterwards came distinguish-
ed. In 1853, at the sge of twenty-one, lie
was licensed to preach, and was inducted
pastor of the congregat ns of St. Marys
and Downie, in which cijarge he remained
until 1860. In that year, having been
previously lecturer fol several terms, he
was elected to the -Chi it of Exegesis and
Biblical Criticism in I_nox College. In
1870, he succeeded Dr. Michael Willis as
Principal of the College which position be
still holds with honour. i 3 himself an to
the entire satisfaction o the Church.
