Richards Of Paramount (A Schoolmate Pays Tribute, With . Reminiscences). I wish to pay tribute to the mem' ory of a schoolmate and. lifelong friend of delightful fellowship, Mr. E. W. Richards, who died in Provi­ dence Hospital, Detroit, Feb. 17th, affeF a pneumonia. We, in Deceit, feel a little lonely now that such a dear friend has been called from our midst. He is mixed ip our minds with affectionate happy memories , of days gone by—the early seventies,’ . when: life was new and his kindliness and remarkable ability as an .enter­ tainer, with , his recitations and songs always clean arid wholesome and. mostly humorous, made our hearts beat high. He was the son of Jacob and . Jane Richards arid was. born Jan. 4, 1859. His father died of pneumo­ nia, when he was only twenty-eight years Of age, the result of becoming mired in the bog then directly west of Lucknow. With his mother, youn­ ger'brother, and sister; he worked- his father’s farm for a number of years,but at. great disadvantage finally moving) to Michigan about forty-five years ago. After the death, of John B-", his voiinger brother, who had beepme a " doctor in Belleville, Mich., he came to Detroit and opened a barber shop retiring twelve years ago. ■ Through­ out his life, he was on the side of right—rejoicing “not, in iniquity, but in the truth” and honored them that feared the Lord. And now what ten­ der memories are recalled! Memories too,* of other schoolmates and their parents. A great waiting coin pany riow within the yail, who, in their day, with deep abiding religious cori- victionsT stood stiff as a beamy ^-staunc^h-4in-their-own^qUiet--way™for-- the faith once delivered unto the saints.” But “Time Marches On”, That “God was in Christ recoriciling* the, world unto/Himself ” is not al­ ways taught. Comprising forms ,of the application of the Gospel tor the Modern world appear in not a few olaces, but are not satisfying to the proponents, nor to the hearers. Press notices quote Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick z,of« New York, fapied for “The Peril of Worshipping Jesus” as confessing: “You see, we modern­ ists pare down and diiri our faith by negative abstractions, until we have left only the ghastly remainder of vhat was once a great religion. Then 'eeiifg how few our positive convic­ tions are, and how little they matter, we grow easy going about everyone •’Ise’s convictions arid end in a mush of general concessions.” • My first acquaintance with Mr. Richard was in.the spring of 1870. .at.jthe Isle o’ Skye School. William Jackson, a graduate of Dublin Uni­ versity, and a godly man -who pray­ ed for his scholars, was the teacher. Though his authority was supreme, his task was not easy, particularly in winter when the bigger farm­ hand boys came back to school. He Had but one eye, and because he wore a green goggle; he was called “Blin- ky”. But how this faithful man tried to help us! Portions of Scripture •vas read morning and afternoon and the school knelt in prayer. Mt, 23:37, that outburst of the very' heart of God with. its, “and ye would not” was'•repeated in almost every prayer, an illustration of God’s grace that all rural children could comprehend. Eternity, alone will disclose the num­ ber that have beep saved by this in-, vitatiori. But sometimes these sol­ emn occasions w§re not wholly wor­ shipful, particularly the closing -ses­ sion. For some misdemeaner, two boys—men, now living on borrowed time and comfortably retired, one in Windsor, the other in Toronto—were penalized, to "stay one hour after school”. Their names were put on the blackboard—a dishonor and a reminder. But whatever their offence, they plotted an escape. It was spring­ time'. The door was shut, but the windows were open and the# were barefooted. So during the afternoon prayer, when heads, if, pot hearts were bUwed, they- stepped .quietly over the benches,, on to the desk slanted up against the wall arid out: through the' Window into the Idrig grass in Jamies Gilmore’s field, where they remained in security until the coast was clear. But A'tys! the penal­ ty was “two hours after school” the next day and. no escape. ’ I do not recall' why the windows were used as a jail break unless the door was locked during certain oc­ casions. >For some offence, Mr. Jack- son took one of the boys across his knees and was tempering him When the lad deftly (00k a pin from his coa,t and stuck „it into his prosecutor. Tn a moment the teacher was on his, feet apd the culprit ori the floor: It took the victim but another moment to scramble to his feet and escape through the' open ‘ window, ami < F yceum Theatre WINGHAM Shaw Starts at «•»<» P-M- Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

But it was dt paramount Union School, which we ater attended, that he began the /oeation of public entertainer.. The , ate Roderick McCharles was the teacher and Friday afternoon was Recitation .Day and trials were held. With -his “interpretation” of “Good King Arthur” he plainly outstripped all others in “dramatic power”. How ?ood he made that , plum pudding taste! and how we wondered there 'ould be any left “that the Queen next morning fried”. From that day. when hid talent was first acclaimed, he was encouraged to be 'our enter­ tainer at school, at concerts, at Dew Drop Lodge, until the whole country­ wide were his a'dmirers. Some popu­ lar selections were ‘.‘The Irish Phil­ osopher”, “The’ Good-for-Noddings Dog,” The Dutchman’s Red pepper and' Tomato Garden”, “The I .Outwitted Wife’’—all in dialect, mostly Ger­ man, and all humorous, wholesome, nnd of good cheer.
