ing of Rev D. K. and Mrs. Grant,

Blended ilei delightfully Tuesday
ev ening, in • Willis il'neabyteri'ati
Church :fan lhict town.
There was a good 'sized audience
presided over by Rev,Mr, Fletcher -
of the '.Thames Road, Modwe(ratoro'r
Huron 'Presbytery, • who performed
his duties in a tweet agreeable and
satisfactory manner..
After th.lt opening exercises the
hymn "Blest betthe Tie That Binds
Our Hearts an Chr:iatian Love," ,was
sung, and the .chairman spoke of
the expanded pleasure because of
the interest he felt iinthe Pastors' of
the past and:the ,congregation. Be
had known" Dr. Stewart fronn
oaJege days..and( calked tp mind
how anxious( he Qthe( ,chairman) 'as
captain of the ';University jb'ootbadl
Team, 'w a '6o ;secure 'the eerviefes
of 'the. athlete Stewart. But in this
he was :disappointed' as 'Dr. Strew --
art was too fond of his boots( and
studies to take Timid for spoil, and,
this was eharac(.errstic of him a1ll
through life. -His ,whole .concern
was to serve big people and the.
chuncal. The standard' of Huron
Presbytery was high and much was
due to such men as Dr. Stiewart,•the
late Dr. McLean and others.
The Longer he knew( the retiring
pastor the better he loved him and
he ,eras glad' the congregation Me
appreciated his tsp"tan 3d ieervieei
rendered in his 'long pastorate.
Prom a bounding heart he .had
served the. church. and he hoped he
would .eoxne back to Huron-Pres-
bytery
uron Pres-
bytery so as to hold hien old stand-
ing as a brother beloved, Ret Mr.
Grant .came from; the Fast fled
from feeding on fisis and ,oysters,
had made good, and he congratu-
lated Willis'•Chureb on their choice.
Most of the pastors had acquaint-
ance wit� ttln.c{ original of all 1 an-
guages—+t.he Gaelic, and he would
have to cateehiste Mr. Grant in this
!,articular as to hes' proficiency. He
was a man' of discernment -and high
ideals, and in happy combina(tio(n
with similanl qualitie4 in the Mk -
Mary and membership there was
no doubt as to what the future
would be. As Moderator he once
more welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Grant
to the eliarge,
A choice solo"The Mighty Dweep"
was well sung by Mr. I3,Raynor,
aecounpanied by Mrs. Mcllardy
Smith,
In calling upon the genial and
well known.Dr.'Gun`n, the chairman
referred to the doetor'sj father and
his zeal in'the church as an' welder,
and remembered ,the son' Willie of
(those days!

The announcement of the senator's':
death came as a great surprise, Ede
had been 01 only a w ck and very few'
knew that his actticlition was at all'
serious.
The late senator was born at, Throe'
Rivers, Prince Edward Island, on Feb-
ruary 1.4, 1829, his parents' having,
come to the colony from Scotland' 'in
1800. In early life Senator Macdonald`
carried on 'a general business and hater,
established a shipbuilding business,.
which prospered. He took an active
part in polities and from 1853::to x186.0'
eat in the Provincial Assembly,. being
-chosen by the governor. On the • As-
eemhly becoming 'elective, he was
chosen for King's South and sat. from
1803 to 1873 During this perio,t he
waft ;pos tin a"s to r -general.
He was Charlotte-
town
the to a deleate h rlotte-
g
town conference when it first: discuss-
ed the question of confederation and
was later a delegate to the Quebec on -
Terence of great Canadians, who for-'
elated the scheme of' union.
From 1873 -to 1884 he was postmaster
of Charlottetown and from 1854 to 1889
lieutenant -governor of his province,'
In 1891 he was appointed"to the Can-
adian Senate by Sir John A, 6Vfacdou-
aide

it would be surd to lead natio 'thjta.

Another, 'Version,
,Others say. ithat 'the rack bed of
our constitution( is the! Act of Set-
tlement, which 'gave William and
Mary the Crown, not because they
had inherited it but because Par-
liament Wished thean( to wear it,,
This ;cwas the wet blanket that fin-
ally and completely( ,extinguished
the flickering, -candle- of (the div-
ine right of kings. Then there is
the view that the foundation rock
on :which' our( constitution rests is
the British North America Acti'that
set os up in business as the Domdn-:

Senator Robertson. of P. E. I., was
carcie'tl into the Senate Chamber last
Wednesday and carried out again,lhus
saving his seat.
Proceeded to transact businesSiwith
the mace on'the table.
A Thrilling] Predicament.
It seems pr:epos serous, tragical
and' almost ,treasonable, but it is
equally true and sliaeking. It
sends a thrill 4broughout the length
a,nd breadth of the and, remindan(g
every loyal ;Canadian{ ,that eternal
vigilance as the price of liller(ty,
and. exhorting him to be sure that,
while he keeps both; hands on the
Union Jack, the keeps alt least one

Commons, and ,so ensure the .con-
tinuance of the Empirer the pre-
servation of the constitution and
the dignity( of the Commons ort

The; Mace.
!What afteit all is the mace? The
public Must know what they are to
watch before( 'they1 can watch it
with any( degree of success.
More than two, and a half .centur-
ies ago a great khan gave adefini-
tion of the 'mace --gave it ungon-
ciously, which makes mall the more
valuable. "Take away ;that bauble,"
said Cromwell, pointing to the mace
,as it lay on the table of the English
Commons when he went in, In (dis-
solve Parliament) by the short but
very effeativle; 'means+ of soldiers'
Muskets.
• "A bauble, Cromwell "called f thte
mace Abauble Indeed!" Ido :would
not have dared to use the world
had Colonel Remy Smith, our Ser-
geant -at -Arms, been, present. If
he had been present (tins safe to
say tthatu the :current of history
would have been turned aside and
the great; ,Oliver would have died
not in bed, but before thleSpeaker's
chair.
A Misnomer.
A bauble, Cromwell called the
mace. To day pvethink of a bauble
as something smaller -something
you can hang onyour watch chain
or Dairy to a1 pawn( sloop in your
pocket. Well, you cannoti do that
lwsth our mace; not •even ,Colonel
Smith can clo;it, and he is atstrong
