From the Minister's Study
Former pastor's obituary has many lessons
By Rev. Paul Acton
Trinity Anglican, Blyth
Yesterday one of my children
came home from school with a note
from the principal. Perhaps you are
thinking what I was thinking when
I heard that Mr. Kemp had sent
something home with her for me to
see.
Why do we immediately assume
that notes from the principal are
bad news?
There was lesson number one —
UCW President Vera Nicholson
presided at the Sunday service of
Bluevale United Church due to the
absence of minister Rev. Banks,
who was attending conference.
The service followed the
guidelines of the Conference
Sunday service, concentrating on
the Ecumenical Decade of
Churches in Solidarity with
Women. Scripture passages were
read pertaining to women of the
bible. Isabel Wheeler told of the
Canaanite Woman with scripture
from Matthew 15: 21-28.
Jean Mathers read the scripture
passage, Luke 8: 42-48, about the
with the flow of blood and Etoile
Johnston read scripture passage
Luke 7: 36-50, about the forgiven
women.
Chris Fashoway gathered the
children at the front and told the
children's story based on Matthew
19: 13-15.

Fellowship on Sunday, June 6. The
sermon was based on John 13: 1-
17. Communion and foot washing
was also held at the service. Linda
Campbell was worship leader.
because I was pleasantly surprised
to find that what the principal sent
home was a newspaper clipping
from the Huron Expositor dated
October 18, 1872 carrying some
news from Ainleyville (alias
'Brussels') that would be of some
interest to me.
I am going to share it because I
think that it may be of some
interest to you as well.

The Prayers of Preparation and
Congregational Prayer were
repeated. The choir's anthem was
"Who is our Disciples?" with
Etoile and Mary Lou Johnston as
organists. Marie Stewart and
Marguerite Fischer received the
offering.
Shirley Nicholson related a
message from the president of the
London Conference. She said,
"This is not a decade for women,
nor a decade for churches to work
for women. It is for men and
women in churches to work
together, to bring changes to church
and social structures that put
obstacles in the way of women's
full participation."
Julie Nicholson designed and
prepared the Sunday bulletins. Joy
Powell passed them out as she
greeted worshippers at the door.
Those present were reminded of
the social evening on Sunday with
Betty Graber as guest speaker.

Wedding Song" on the saxophone,
accompanied by Marg Whitmore
on the piano as the bride was
escorted to the front of the church
by her brother, Murray.
The reception was held at the
Seaforth and District Community
Centre. Doug Keys, uncle of the

OBITUARY. — We have with
sorrow to record the death of Rev.
Samuel A. Lindsay, at Ainleyville,
on Friday, Oct. 11, at 2 o'clock,
a.m. The appointment by the Lord
Bishop of Huron of Mr. Lindsay, to
the Ainleyville incumbency only
dated from last June, yet within that
short time he endeared himself to
all who came within his sphere of
usefulness. By the mission, his loss
will be long felt and deeply regret-
ted. After patiently waiting for
several years for the services of a
clergyman of the Church of
England, the duties of the mission
being only supplied by a catechist
or layman, we have now to bow to
the inscrutable will of God, who
has seen fit to remove our minister
to a higher and holier inheritance,
though for seven weeks of painful
sickness, borne with Christian
patience and well grounded hope of
a heavenly rest, he was still
enabled, though on a bed of pain, to
preach of God's love and mercy in
Christ to numbers of his sympa-
thizing parishioners and others who
constantly waited on him. It is not
necessary to attempt the record of
the many hopeful, comforting and
cheering expressions from God's
word constantly used by him
during his sickness; nearly the last
words used by him were, "God is
very near me." A few moments
afterwards his spirit departed to be
with God who gave it. May his
language and his faith be to us as
an encouraging voice which,
"Although dead, yet still speaketh,"
that we may also seek "an inheri-
tance, undefiled and which fadeth
not away." The remains of Rev. S.
A. Lindsay were followed by a
large number of sympathizing
friends to Seaforth early Saturday
morning, where they were placed
on the morning express train for
Woodstock, thence to Norwich
where they were interred on
Monday last. Six members of the
congregation accompanied the
remains as pallbearers to Norwich.
A number of his late fellow-
students from Huron College,
London, attended the funeral on
Monday, which was very large, the
deceased being well known and
very highly respected in that
neighbourhood. The funeral sermon
was preached by Rev. Mr. Mills,
who was also a student with the
deceased, and ordained at the same
time; the words of his text were
"Prepare to meet thy God," from
which he preached an excellent
sermon.
WARNING TO TEAMSTERS. —
As the funeral procession of Rev.
Mr. Lindsay was on its way to
Seaforth, on Saturday last, a farmer
named Turnbull refused to give the
hearse and accompanying carriages
proper room to pass, and acted in a
most unbecoming and abusive
manner. On his arrival at Seaforth,
he was taken before Mr. Beanie,
J.P., who imposed a fine of $3.50
and administered to him a severe
rebuke.
hi this obituary the short life of a
young man and dedicated servant of
God is preserved. His short ministry
here in Ainleyville spoke very
powerfully to me, and helped me to
realize the importance of being in
earnest about the things that are
really important. Sometimes we get
wrapped up in good things that
need to be placed second or third
down our list of priorities.
I asked The Citizen to publish the
whole account, including the
warning to teamsters, because I find
that there exists the same lack of
respect today among those who are
in too much of a hurry to pull over
as the funeral procession passes.
I hope that you enjoyed these
little lessons from Ainleyville as
much as I did. Thank you, Mr.
Kemp, for sending home this
particular note from school; let's
hope they are all this good.
