Johnston, in his-85th year, Mr. Johnston, for years, has suffered from bronchitis, which sapped his strength. On Tuesday of last week he suffered a weak spell and was taken to Victoria Hospital in London, where on Fri day last he passed away. Mr. Johnston nas Deen a very ac tive man during his long life. Rear ed on a farm, he was a son of Ash field Township pioneers. He 'began his career, after leaving the farm, as a cheesemaker, but the higher call of education led him into >the teaching profession. Active in church work, he combined religious education with his duties as a school teacher and in so doing .has exerted an influence for good upon the lives of many boys and girls who were privileged to come under his tuition. Mr. Johnston was born May 27, 185®, in the township of East Gwil- limbury, York County, being a son of the late Henry Johnston and Mary (Serson) Johnston. In the autumn of 1861 the family moved to Ashfield Township, Huron County, and settled on a farm. Mr. John ston grew up there in the woods and attended Finlay’s School (S.S. No. 9, Ashfield), afterwards known as Cherry Grove school. At the ‘age of 14 Mr. Johnston de cided to learn the business and for four 77) he was employed prentice oi* makei* in at Dungannon, in Ashfield; at Done gal, in Elma Township, Perth Coun ty; and in the Watford Union fac tory, Lambton County. Although he was successful in cheese-making, Mr. Johnston’s par ents were desirous that his educa tion be continued, and, as a result, he returned to school, graduated from the Goderich Collegiate and eventually secured a teacher’s cer tificate. In 1880 he commenced teaching and for the next .forty years was actively and successfully engaged in this occupation. He first taught eight years in his -own school, then in S.S. No. 2, Hay Town ship, for twelve years and finally in S.S. No. 14, Stanley Township, where he was in charge for twenty years. These schools always had a large •tendance in those days and part (Continued oh Page 4) REV. BEECROFT IS GUEST SPEAKER AT JAMES ST, CHURCH “They can’t stop God?’ was the ringing climax to the evening ser mon preached by Rev. W. A, Bee croft, *of Wingham, in connection with the 80th anniversary of the James St, United Church, These were the words of Woodrow Wil son, president of the United States, on his death-bed, after his peace policy following the last war, which would have saved the world, was rejected. To-day the powers of evil seem to be in the ascendancy as never before in the history of the world. During the period of the war there has been a succession of victories for cruelty and tyranny, As we think of the long-suffering and endurance of freedom-loving peoples in 'their struggles for relig ious and political freedom and throughout the dark ages, our spir its are uplifted. We have been liv ing too carelessly. We have been too optimistic about life. We have thought there would always be peace. The gambling habit and the cocktail habit have been rampant. Like a surging volcano our easy optimism has been blown to pieces. But struggle for our ideals must go We may never realize our ideal we must nevei* cease struggling it. the on. but for This country needs a rolling tide of indignation against the forc es of evil. The spirit -of the men who have given their lives for the advancement ofr Christian principles throughout all generations, still goes marching on. You cannot overestimate the power of evil,- its menace from day to day, but for all the treachery and all the hate mani fest in the world today, they can’t stop God. That the Church has what is re quired for the tragedies -of the pre sent hour, was the theme of the morning t-sermon by Mr. Beecroft, The text’was “The Lord is the light of my salvation.” Many persons are anxious about the witness (Continued on Page 4) cheesemaking years (1873- either as ap- the factories The Exeter Eng., War Relief Fund, a gift from Exeter, Canada, has been enriched by $60.00, the net proceeds derived from the bene fit dance given in the Exeter Arena Wednesday evening of last Week.
