COLIN FLETCHER PASSES IN HENSALL ■ On Tuesday afternoon the congre­ gation of Thames Road United church laid to reist one who for forty-two years had been their spir­ itual adviser and friend in the per­ son of Rev.. Col'in Fletcher, D.D. The church was. filled, with chairs in the aisles. Many ministers were pres­ ent and some of the very intimate friends of the deceased in the minis­ try paid very high tributes to the splendid Christian character, scholar­ ly attainments and ready native wi„t of this grand‘’bld man and many’ hearts were deeply touched as the speakers recalled, the ministrations of him who’ for so many years led the members of that church in wor­ ship and was part j|if the community passing in and out among them, visiting in their homes, always a true friend. Rev. J. E. Hogg, of Clinton, chair­ man of the Huron Presbytery pre­ sided over the service and the open­ ing prayer was offered by Rev. G. M. Chidley, pastor of the church. Rev. Mr. Leckie, of Motherwell, an intimate friend of the deceased, preached the funeral sermon. Few men were privileged to know the de­ ceased as was Mr.* Leckie and in beautiful terms he portrayed the character of the man in his home; as he associated with his fellow min­ isters and mingled with the congre­ gation. Dr. ^Fletcher was a great lover of books and kept abreast of the times. He possessed a ready wit. There was merriment, jocular­ ity and yet an earnestness with him in the home. The life of Dr. Flet­ cher was his sermon and he had preached it in the pulpit, on the concessions and throughout the country at large for his influence had gone far beyond his own bounds. Mr. Leckie also paid loving tribute to Anna Fletcher, wife of the de­ ceased, who departed this life thir­ teen years ago, and in whose honor the Anna Fletcher Bible Class of Thames Road was named. Rev. Robt. Hicks, of St. Thomas, President of the London Conference, paid personal tribute to the charac­ ter of the deceased. Mr. Hicks as a lad and later in life had come under the influence of Dr. Fletcher whom he had learned to regard most high­ ly. He spoke of the influence Dr. Fletcher had brought into the Unit­ ed church and conveyed the sym­ pathy of the London Conference. Dr. Meldrum, .of Cleveland, paid a warm ■ tribute* WMbe departed and to the Thames’^oad church when in EXETER COUNCIL PHONE 3?PHONE 32 in Ill ill! their thanks to all those who in any way assisted in the time of their bereavement, with special to those who contributed in the loss .of their dear son, mention flowers, Garnet.
