McInnes, ' Ross became the regular clergy - in the London Free Press) Rev. John Ross was, for many years, a Presbyterian clergy- man at the village of Bruce- field, rucefield, Huron County. Born at Dormeck, Scotland, in 1821, John was eight years old when his family emigrated to Can- ada. amada. After a great storm at sea and a long journey across Upper Canada, they arrived at West Zorra, Oxford County. Quite a number of people from Scotland had already set- tled in West Zorra and one of the first things they did was to build a church, the first min- ister being Rev. Donald McKen- zie. This congregation, which became the nucleus of the vil- lage of Embro, in the years ahead up to 1894 was to send 38 of its members rto become ministers of the gospel. This, in a large measure, was due to Rev. McKenzie conduct- ing classes an higher education, as there was no grammar school nearby. John Ross was one of these students and after attending Normal School in; Toronto, he taught school up to 1845. At the age of 24 he attended the new theological seminary in Toronto, which had opened No- vember 5, 1844. He became an explorer in dark places of Toronto and a frequent visitor to the hospi- tals. He used the Gaelic as much as he could and deemed it second to Hebrew in lang- uages. At •college he was very engrossed with his studies, of- ten staying up all night persu- ing them, In 1850 he finished college and it is said that he danced a jig on the college green, be- eause now he could be off to his work. First he had to give one year to the mission field. In the meantime in Bruce - field, Rev. William Graham, a missionary recently sent from Scotland, was the first Free - church minister under whoxn the Brucefield people were gathered as a. congregation.. Previously Mr. Graham had accepted a call from the con- gregation at Egmondvilie, a vil- lage six miles distant, and thus Brucefield was added :to his charge. Rev. Graham could not speak Gaelic acid as so many Gaelic- speaking pe o p le surrounded Beueefiekl, they wished to have a church of their own anti a minister who could speak Gaelic as well as English. Thr eugh Rev. Donald Mc- Kenzie, of Mehra, moderator of the Presbytery, late in 1850 the Brucefield people were able to secure John. Ross to conduct tnvo services in Gaelic, In the spring Of 1851 John Ross held services there for six weeks and later !became their Pernielient minister, his ordination and in,- dilation nnduction taping place Mt Septem- ber, 1861. He was to remain itn this parish ,for 35 years, The eiders at the time Sohn mean at Brucefield were: George Walker, who gave him ready and efficient friendship; Hugh Mustard, one of the men of the Highlands, who saw the hand of God in every -day life; Rob- ert Carnoak, who was called the "sweet singer" of the con- gregation; Angus Gordon, who did not remain long with the Brucefield church alter the ar- rival of John Ross as a con- gregation was formed in Clin- ton where he lived; and John McQueen, another elder of sterling qualities. In later years George Forrest was added to the Brumfield eldership, John Ross suffered a great loss in the death of his young wife in February, after his set- tlement in Brucefield, leaving him with a daughter. His sis- ter, Jane Ross, came nobly to his assistance. The special subject during the years 1851-61 in which Rev. Ross took an important pant was the proposed union between the Free Presbyterian Church and the United Presbyterian Church in Canada. For several years he was a member of the union committee, appointed by the Synod of the Free Church. Finally, an June 6, 1861, the two churches agreed to unite, taking the name Canada Pres- byterian Church. John Ross did not stand out against union but his heart was ill at ease over the subject of the King- ship of Christ, which had been rejected. During his incumbency at the Presbyterian Church. in Brucefield the manse was a mile from the village and in walking to and fro he always carried a Bible with him. If he chanced to meet anyone he would stop them and read a passage from the Bible and then explain it. As he had a style that commanded attention and a voice that could be heard through a stone wall, he had many listeners. Many instances of this are given. Once when; he drove to Underwood to catch the stage to Kincardine, a drowd gather- ed for an election. As Mr. Ross had a 20 -minute wait, he preached a sermon and soorl a large Crowd gathered and rev- erently listened to him. Another time, he preached to a crowd of people gathered around a Circus tent. Many times when travel- ling on a train, he preached ser- mons, and on one occasion even in a store in Quebee City Thus he bet:anie known as "The Man with the Bo.,, John Rots did not spend all his time preaching the gospel, as during his lifetime he indulg- ed is many hobbiee. His best, perhaps, was the title he had a class of sehaa1 teaehers 'meet- ing at the manse to study Heb- rew. For the greater part of ten year thio went en and it gave him great enjoyment ;be- cause off his love fen yottng people. In the early part of his life he became interested in geom- etry, Latin, Hebrew, Greek Arabic, Syriac, Gennan and Italian. All engaged his attee. tion in turn. At one time he was interest- ed in bees and gained much en- joyment from their study. An- other time he grew grapes and had a beautiful vineyard, giving away many of its products. When Mr. Ross took up resi- dence in the so-called manse it was made of logs, Later it was replaced by a brick cottage and was surrounded by nine acres: of land, covered with beautiful trees long after the rest of the country was cleared. But the day cane when Mr. Ross, with a heavy heart, cut out all the underbrush and some trees, leaving only ten sugar maples. These proved to be a great de- light to him as he tapped the trees every spring and made syrup and maple sugar -even going so far as to having a "sugaring off" for the children of the neighbourhood at the end of the season. During the last 20 years of his life his almost content com- panion and source of amuse - meat was a black colt which he called "Coltie." He raised and trained his horse. It was al- ways a very lively sight to see "Coltie" hitched to .a buggy or sleigh going pell-mell over the country roads, In 1870 there was another subject which demanded from Mr. Ross a great decision, nam- ely the union of the Presby- terian Church of the Lower Provinces and the Presbyterian Church of the Maritime Prov- inces with the Ontario church. Mr. Ross, along with his elders, sett in a resolution against union under the propos- ed conditions, but this was ig- nored and on June 15, 1875, the supreme counts of the ne- gotiating churches met in Mont- real to consummate the union;, But in the 13rucefield con- gregation it was decided to hold. a meeting and take a vote. This was done on September 28, 1875, and 45 members voted to adhere to their minister ,and 40 announced their decision to en- ter the union. Rev. Logie, of Rodgerville (a community at this time south of Hensall on the London Road), conduct- ed this meeting. Three weeks later another meeting was held in the Bruce - field church to sanetion the or- ganization of another congreg- ation in Brucefield', Mr. Roes allowed the new congregation to hold itis meet - Ings 4 the church until they built once of their awn and even went So far at to rent theme part of the 18 acreet ods land on which the church snood. After John iters died on March 8, 1887, his daughter, Atrna Rost, wi ate "The Mann with the Book." It was publish- ed in 1891. Nelson Hood, of Kippen, aridly loaned the this book, from which the Move ortiele has been written.
