After, an illness extendingover the past month, 1•;ev Josias Greene, Superannuated Methodist: Minister, passed. away to his Heavenly Home on Friday morning at his late home on Huron street at the age of 82 years. A'Iittle over a month ago he went to consult a specialist at Toronto and his report was none too favorable to our late citizens, who came home, fully resigned that his life had hot been misspent and knowing there was a crown angaittng him him on the other side of Jordan. Rev. Mr. Greene was born in what is now the city of Hamilton ori. the llth of December 1833, At that time the village had not a church of any descrip- tion but the little 'Wesleyan chapel which stood where the First Methodist church now stands, and the head of the circuit was Ancaster, From tete age of 6 until he was 21 his life was buried on a bush farm near the now village of Caledonia, with hard work which toughened him and little schooling, which he oft remark- ed, was a serious drawback to hint. He was in his 25th year before a serious thought of the ministry had cone to him. Mr. Greene was taken into the church by the late Rev, Thos Crawford in the parental home on November Oth, 1858, and was received as a probationer for the ministry of the old Wesleyan Conference which of that time extended from the island of Bermuda to the foot of the Rocky Mountains. At the Conference of 1800, and sent to the Moulinette circuit in the Brockville District. There, under the superintendence of Rev. W, let. Pat- tyson, he remained for two years and sent his third year ar on the old Matilda with Rev. Wm. Coleman. The subject of this notice spent his fourth ye r at Victoria College, and on the 5111 of Tune, I804, was ordained under the presidency of the late Rev. William Thornton in the old Elm street church, Toronto. From that Conference Mr. Greene was sent to take charge of the Keppel Mission which was just opened and now embraces Brooklyn, Kemble, \Warton, Oxender, Hepworth and Shallow Lake circuits. Three of Mr, Greene's busiest years fol- lowed on what was then known as "Arte- mesia Mission." There were fifteen preaching places. embracing at the pres- ent tinge—Flesherton, Markdale, Price- ville, Dundalk, Eugenia and .Euprasia circuits, and at that time the whole prop- erty of the tVethodist Church would not amount to more than,$2,000. Ile preach n ed well up"to600 times a cI spent one third of the term in special services; travelling at the rate of 4,060 miles a year, mostly on horseback, 'Those were. glorious times and God blessed the la- bours in the salvation of hundreds of souls. From there, Mr. Greene went to Chats worth, Invermay (now Tara), Hanover, Paisley, Chesley and Port Elgin, thus STILL CLIMBING, This is the 416th day that the British Empire has been at .war with Ger. neatly.

Rev. Mr. Greene was born in what is now the city of Hamilton ori. the llth of December 1833, At that time the village had not a church of any descrip- tion but the little 'Wesleyan chapel which stood where the First Methodist church now stands, and the head of the circuit was Ancaster, From tete age of 6 until he was 21 his life was buried on a bush farm near the now village of Caledonia, with hard work which toughened him and little schooling, which he oft remark- ed, was a serious drawback to hint. He was in his 25th year before a serious thought of the ministry had cone to him. Mr. Greene was taken into the church by the late Rev, Thos Crawford in the parental home on November Oth, 1858, and was received as a probationer for the ministry of the old Wesleyan Conference which of that time extended from the island of Bermuda to the foot of the Rocky Mountains. At the Conference of 1800, and sent to the Moulinette circuit in the Brockville District. There, under the superintendence of Rev. W, let. Pat- tyson, he remained for two years and sent his third year ar on the old Matilda with Rev. Wm. Coleman. The subject of this notice spent his fourth ye r at Victoria College, and on the 5111 of Tune, I804, was ordained under the presidency of the late Rev. William Thornton in the old Elm street church, Toronto. From that Conference Mr. Greene was sent to take charge of the Keppel Mission which was just opened and now embraces Brooklyn, Kemble, \Warton, Oxender, Hepworth and Shallow Lake circuits. Three of Mr, Greene's busiest years fol- lowed on what was then known as "Arte- mesia Mission." There were fifteen preaching places. embracing at the pres- ent tinge—Flesherton, Markdale, Price- ville, Dundalk, Eugenia and .Euprasia circuits, and at that time the whole prop- erty of the tVethodist Church would not amount to more than,$2,000. Ile preach n ed well up"to600 times a cI spent one third of the term in special services; travelling at the rate of 4,060 miles a year, mostly on horseback, 'Those were. glorious times and God blessed the la- bours in the salvation of hundreds of souls. From there, Mr. Greene went to Chats worth, Invermay (now Tara), Hanover, Paisley, Chesley and Port Elgin, thus STILL CLIMBING, This is the 416th day that the British Empire has been at .war with Ger. neatly.
