A member of a well-known Stanley township famil'd' passed away at Detroit on Monday in the person of William Baird, who had reached the allotted span of life, seventy years. The deceased was born In Ayrshire, Scotland, but came to Canada and to Stanley township with his par- ents and family in 1852. The Bairds settled on the Second Con- cession and since that time they have continued to remain residents of the township and to exercise a strong influence upon the conunun- ity life. The subject of this brief sketch grew to manhood and in 11874 was united in marriage with Jean Laurence, Shortly afterwards the young couple moved to Kent County where they engaged in farm- ing and reared their family, In 1903 they removed to Detroit, Mich„ and the City of Straits continued to be the hone of William Baird until the summons cane to enter into the fuller life beyond the river. Mr. Baird is survived by his wife and family of five ,sons and two laugh - tors : John, George, David and Mrs. Harrison are all married and residing in Detroit, William has his home in Flint, Mich., and James and Flossie are still under the roof- tree at home. Two brothers anci four sisters also survive: George and Thomas Baird, Mrs. Alex. Thompson, Mrs. Mary Cameron and Mrs. John Gilmour of Stanley town- ship, and Mrs. B. Campbell of Clin- ton. Tho remains were brought to the Monte township for interment, the funeral taking place from the home of bit' George Baird yester- day afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev.

The Alberta Syinod of the Presby- terian Church, met in Medicine Hat the last week in April and in the course of the session Rev, D. K. 0 -rant of Olds, Alta., formerly pas- tor of :Willis church, Clinton, gave what the Daily News of that city described as "A brainy and con- vincing address" on conditions re- garding the war. Following are a few paragraphs taken from the News which will interest his old friends in Clinton : 'bir, Grant said all men must do their thinking in the light of the war. It faced men at every tarn. It faced the women in the household. When the wheat buyer made his bid in the pit, he had his eye on the Dardanelles. Whether the rnirssion- ary or the preacher would get his salary or not depended upon the war, Whether .it was a question of putting in a village drain or build- ing a railroad, the war situation had to be considered. ' "The whole outer fabric of life has been shaken to its foundations," said the speak- er," and the whole world is striving to adjust itself to the new condi- tions_ The race had shown',a re- markable genius for adaptatioto the new conditions, The Government had mastered the seemingly super- human task of converting the coun- try's resources from peace to war. If the war had this effect on the outer fabric, what about the inner fabric ? Men all • over the world were changing their ideas. At first some had claimed that Christianity had broken down in face of the war, others even claimed that civilization itself had proven a failure, but re- flection was bringing the revelation that Christianity had proven equal to the demands made upon it. "Christianity, has won greater triumphs during these months of war than in tate days of the 'Apostles,", said 14Ir, Grant. The unity of the Allies, the sentiment of neutral nations for the cause of righteousness, the generous sym- pathy of the world for the innocent sul:eters, the openhanded charity", all were due to the spirit of Christian- ity, and the Divine wrath- that had been awakened which had induced millions of men to take up arms anci battle to right the wrongs of the weak, was a great triumph, Tits people of India, China. and Japan in- stead of regarding Christianity as a failure, understood now why the Christian nations had unsheathed the sword. In conclusion, Mr. Grant asked itis hearers to thinks what might be ac- complished for the cause of Christi- anity if the energies of the world which have been consecrated to the cause 01 freedom could be permanent - 1y turned into spiritual' channels."
