SIR WILFRID LAURIEER
The Premier of Canada
By sheer force of ability and the compelling power of character, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier has reached the highest position in Canadian politics, and
won a name that "must live in the annals of the British Empire." He has
overridden obstacles that would have (taunted a man of less virile genius and
patriotism. Though p'rench was his anesstr•y,and Language, and Catholicism
his religion, he has become the leader of the destinies of a great 'English
speaking nation, the larger part of whose people are Protestants,
He was born in St. Lin, Quebec, in 1841, of a family of rebels who fought
bravely under Papineau in tho revolt. of 1837. From the little country school
where his teacher, a Sootchman, spurred his ambition and powerfully in+
fiuenced his life, he passed to L'Assomptfon College, and in 1864, after com-
pleting his course In law, entered the Bar, When he made his ddbut in politics
in 1871 as a member of the Quebec Assembly, his magic eloquence, the fear-
lessness, strength and finality of his words, and the mastery by which he
brought order out of chaos, light out of darkness, thrilled his audience.
Three years later he resigned from the Legislature and was returned to
the House of Commons on the overthrow of the Macdonald government. In
1876 he became minister of inland revenue, and two years later changes in
politics deprived him of this position. He was the acknowledged leader of
the Liberals who were the Opposition party until 1896, when after eighteen
years of waiting, the reins of government again came into their hands and
in the first flush of triumph they made him Premier.
His statesmanship has been broad, liberal, far-sighted; his patriotism
and his love of liberty are manifest in every act and word. He loves and
cherishes the British Empire, and glories in the part that Canada takes in
it; but as a Power of great possibility, sharing with the United States the
golden future of the American continent, he demands of England and the
world the recognition of Canada, not as a babe in the swaddling clothes of a
colony, but as a full grown nation of virility and assured triumph.
Tall, erect, with a handsome presence, clean-shaven face, clear, penetrat-
ing blue eyes, a firm mouth, broad shonldere, a brow masterful and dignified,
a voice soft, sonorous and evor with the suggestion of unexpended reserve,
a smile gentle and soothing as a benediction, with a courtesy and kindness
that surround him as an aura—this is Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's greatest
Orator and statesman.

remembranoe. The evening'a amusement
was brought to a close by the guests

a former well known Brasselite :—"On
Tuesday last information teaohed the
Boon, in advanoe of any other journal,
of the fact that the Bishop of Huron bad
offered the rectorship of St. Jones'
oharah, Stratford, to Rev. W. T. Oluff, of
St. John's church, Sbrathroy, and Chet
Mr. Olen had the matter of acceptance
under consideration. We are in a poe-
inion this afternoon to state that Mr.
Oluif bas signified to the Bishop hie
aeoeptanoe of the appointment. Bat
before that decision was reeohed Mr.
Olnli considered it advleable to bold a
conference with members of the oougre.
Ration, and for this parpoae he came to
Stratford on Thursday afternoon, when
in the evening he met the delegation
appointed by the veBbry some monthe
ago, and a very full statement of 1175
affairs of the parish wee given him. Be
expreesed himself as much impressed
with the anent of the field be was Melt-
ed to occupy, the number of families Bp.
preaching to 400, and living both in
town and country, and was anxious 10
learn the nature of the eo.operating
agenoiea as reepeote the lay organizations
of the church. He also visited the ohnroh
and sehool house. After the conference
be met Biebop,Williame who was return•
ing to London from Millbank and tiny
left together on the train. Rev, Mr,
Oluff spent hie earlier years in school
teaching. Later, deoiding to enter ot, r.
ica1 work, be went to Enron College,
where be received his theological training
and was ordained by the late Blef,op
Baldwin. He then lived for .a time in
Heron county and held a olerioal charge
at Brussels. He also labored in Mirh-
igan for a time, under lionise from the
Bisbop of that fli0oeso, but beinglt thor-
oughly loyal Oenadian, he desired to
return to the Huron diocese, and, 00n:
segeenbly, received appointment to it
charge at Thorndale, near Loudo .,
About eight years ago the reotorebip et
Strathroy became vacant. Mr, Wo:ti
removed bo that charge which he hes
ethos filled with the nbmost aatielaotion
to the people of the petioli. Mr. Olen Is
a man of fine appearance and ant 45
yore of age." Rev, Mr, Oluff was 11 a
