I Obituary of Rev.
B, S, Smillie, B.A
The following obituary of a
former Hensall resident who made
a valuable contribution as a mission
ary to India was read at the recent
meeting of the Huron Presbytery;
The death of the Rev. Benjamine
Stewart Smillie, B.A., who was on
furlough from Missionary Work in
Rasalpura, Central India, removed
from the Church one of its most de
voted, useful and energetic minis
ters.
He has been identified with mis
sionary work in’ India since his
appointment in the year 1914,
where he went as an Evangelistic
Missionary. The numerous demands
made upon him on the Overseas
Mission challenged his remarkable
gifts, which he spent efficiently,
gladly and untiringly in the serv
ice of those to whom he had dedi
cated his life. His special field be
came that of Vocational and Tech
nical training for the young men of
Central India, His knowledge and
skill in the industrial and techni
cal arts enabled him to render
unique and outstanding service to
Central India and to the Christian
Church. His ability -to win men to
himself and to his Christ, has con
firmed the fact that the urge he
felt to give
activity, was
God.
It was on
the members of the staff and the
scholars of the Rasalpura High and
Trade Schools
to honor Rev.
been the means
School, and who
principal. In the address of fare
well, the follOAVing tribute was
made to the noble work, which he
accomplished: "Rasalpura will ever
remain grateful to you for your
manifold services, and farsighted
ness in establishing the High
School, arranging a water system,
installing electricity for light and
power, making a swimming tank,
erecting sixteen blocks of buildings,
and repairing roads. Great has been
your contribution to the adminis
trative side. It has not been any
less on the teaching side. You have
taught Scripture,
the Theory of
work.”
His life long
Taylor, formerly
College in India,
tribute to Mr. Smillie’s work: "The
State of Indore, having no Vocation
al Training School such as was at
Rasalpura, valued its work so high
ly that the Governors of that State
offered scholarships to its own
young men to go into training at
Rasalpura under the supervision of
its principal.”
During the war, the military
authorities chose this institution as
one of its training centres for
young recruits to the army, and at
least 1100 mechanics were well
trained here, and sent out for field
service along technical lines. After
the war was over, Viceroy Wavell,
on behalf of the Indian govern
ment, presented Mr. Smillie with a
special award, commending him for
the valuable services rendered by
himself and his staff during this
time of great trial, and crisis.
The name of the Rev. B. S.
Smillie is an honored name in the
Presbytery of Huron. It has been
associated with Hensall United
Church, because on April 11, 18 84,
he was born on the Smillie home
stead, located a short distance
north bf the Village on No. 4 High
way.
He was educated at the local
school, and at Seaforth Collegiate,
and graduated from University
College in Philosophy, in 1911. 1-Ie
entered Knox College in the autumn
of that year and graduated in 1914,
and received his appointment to
India, where he served for 32 years.
Quite unexpectedly, serving^ tlw
Overseas Missionary Board while
on furlough by visiting many
Churches, Missionary Societies, and <
Presbyteries in Western Ontario,
and presenting in a modest, and yet
interesting and vital way the work
being done in Central India, and
outlining the great need of that
task in this new day, his health
failed him. The best medical aid
that could be secured was sought
On August 9tli, he underwent a
critical operation in Toronto for
the removal of a brain tumour. On
December 17, 1946, he passed
peacefully away to his eternal re
ward.
He leaves to mourn his great loss,
his wife, two sons, Allister and
Benjamine, and one daughter Jean;
two brothers, James, of Hensall,
Dr. Alexander, of Niagara Falls;
and three sisters, Misses Margaret,
Emmaline, and Dr. Jennie Smillie,
all .of Toronto.
Funeral services were held in
Toronto, and at Hensall United
Church. The service in Toronto was
in charge of the Rev. Harold C. 1
Vernon, of West United Church, as
sisted by the Rev. Dr. A. E. Arm
strong, representing the Overseas
Missions 'Department of the United
Church. The address was given by
the Rev. Dr. J. T. Taylor.
The service in Hensall was in
charge of Rev. R. A. Brook, minis
ter at Hensall, assisted by the Revs.
A. S. Trueblood, of Crediton, and
N. J. Woods, of Exeter, and a for

Missionary Gives Address
At Elimville Church
Miss Edith Sparling, returned
missionary from China, gave a
splendid address in this church last
Sunday morning in the interests of
the W.M.S. She gave a few illus
trations of the extent of inflation
in China, Rice, which used to be
,$2.50 per bushel, is now $14,000
in our money, sewing cotton is
$1.10 per spool, toilet soap $1.20
PPr cake—and we complain of high
prices! She took for her subject
"Have you seen God?” and spoke
of different people she had known I
in China who through their good ,
lives and good example had shown
God to others. Miss Sparling is a
wonderful speaker and having spent
many years as a missionary, can
speak with authority. Her address
was impressive and well received
by all present. The ladies’ choir
sang two numbers under the leader- •
ship of the pianist, -Mrs. W. Batten.
The church was nicely decorated
with plants and spring flowers,
which the group sponsoring
service are duly appreciative.
