MAKES GOOD IN WEST
The following appeared in the
birthday column of a recent issue of
the Winnipeg Tribune:
"When Winnipeg contained only
three sehhols, Central West and
Southward and ten teachers, the
youthful John Archibald Campbell,
who 'was later to be attracted to
Manitoba's northland, paseed through
the dull monotony of learning the
three R's. Today, Mr. Campbell is
a barrister. at The Pas and on April
19 will be 56 years old,
He was born in Clinton, Ont., and
when the family came to Manitoba
in 1880, resumed his early education,
later to pass through Manitoba col-
lege. Then he taught school for six
years, from 1890. During that time
he -was principal of Boissevahrs
sebool. Law attracted him and after
beifig articled to Perdue & Robinson,
he was called to the bar in 1899.
That same year he started a practice
at Dauphin, as Campbell & Simpson,
Politics drew his attention for a
while, so M 1907, he was elected a
represent Dauphin in the Manitoba
Igislature. He held this seat until
1910. In 1916, he was appointed
commissioner for Northern Mani-
toba, a position whith gave him
great scope and an excellent oppor-
tunity to study its various probleme.
The next year, 19I7; he was elected
to the Federal House for Nelson, as
a Unionist -Liberal. After leaving
the Federal House he assumed re-
sponsibilities of commiesioner fov
Northern Manitoba, until he resumed
his.law practice in 1921. He has
always been keenly interested in
Northern development and a strong
supnoiter for many years of the
Hudson Bay railway."

passed from this life iritd the other,
For some years he had been in failing

unable •to get out much but he had
been out f or little walks this spring -
and it was e he -reed he might grow
stronger as the, season advanced. But
Wednesdaynight he was taken ill and,
although he seemed better again,ethe
end came quietly on 'Thursday. •
The Rev, Mr Snowdon had been a
resident of Clinton. for about ten
years, settling hete on his enperaten
nuation in 1918,11e -ter spending forty-
six years as an active minister of 'the
Methodist Church of Canada. He had
during the later years of leis minis-
try served as 'pastor of the Holmes-
ville and Varna cireuits.and was well
known In town and vicinity and,
wherever he was known, there Mr.
Snowdon was esteemed, for he. pos.,
sensed the qualities and exhibited the
spirit which everywhere wins the
good -will and admiration of men. Hc
was kindly, tolerant and „understand-
• ing. A Imam who beld firm and well -
thought -out opinions of his own, who
had a clear seneeof right and wrong
and who stood out boldly and un-
flinchingly for what he believed to be
the right. But while he did this be
never failed to accord to others win,
differed with him as to methods of
bringing about the ultimate goodefull
credit for sincerity; and who never ale
lowed -himself to hate even the har-
dened sinner, but sought always tr
help him. • •
Mr. Snowdon is survived by an ad-
opted daughter, Mrs. Eldred Yeo
Goderich township, and: by a number
Iof nephews and nieces, one of tho lat-
ter, Miss Mary Walls, having mad.
her home with him for many years and
who tenderly cared for and nursed
him during his declining years. Ales.

nearly other members of the Presby-
tery of Huron. The church choir led

vice Mrs. Corless and Mrs, H. Fitz,

The Rev. J. E. Ford of Goderich and
the Rev. D. N. IVfeCamus of London,
both former pastors of the church
gave addressee; The former said that
he felt that 'his place should be a-
mong the mourners, as he had lost
one of his closest and oldest friends
He said Mr. Snowdon, the Rev. David
Rogers and himself had entered the
ministry the same year, had belonged
to the same ordination class and had
during all the intervening years been
more or less associated in the work
of the Church which they had tried to
serve, Ple spoke of the ministry of
his friend as measuring up to the stale
dard set eon his own ministry by the
Apostle Paul, in his second letter to_
the Corinthians. He said it was an
"Accredited" ministry. It needed -he
"hitter of commendation," as the
young men and women on his several
charges' those who had, passed
throughhis hands, were his epistles
"known and read of all men," It was
an "Honest" ministry. 'He had stud-
ied the scriptures and 'he preached
what he believed to be true. He did
not "handle the word of God deceit-
fully," and he laboured, 'or as another
translation had it, he made it "a point
of honour" that his work be accept-
able to God, His was a "courageous'.

nothing for himself but only to spend
hithself for the • building up of the
Kingdom of God 'upon earth. •He
sought; rib place of honour for him-
self but his judgment was alwayr
sound; he did not force his opinions
upon others 'but, • after reading am'
studying a question he formed his owr
judgments •and was always able to
defend them,
"He was ready for his call," 'said
Mr., Ford. "I visited him two weeks
ago and spent' a delightful afternoon
WW1 him.' His mind was as clear ae
ever and we talked of books he had
been reading and discussed the
thoright,,, of the day, but during the
etimeehe told .me that he had had -his

servants to be burdened with too many
things, that often they burdened
themselves more than the Master
would. They were to do the "few
things" well, and the capacity of ser.
vice would grow and they would be
fitted for greater service. The high-
est ambition of the Christian, he said
was to merit the "Well Done" of the
Master and while only the
Master might give the com-
mendation he believed that the
one just ;one would qualify for that
high honour. He spoke of his long
and faithful work; his Christian spir-
it, his cheerfulness and his anticipa-
tion of his release. "I was on closer
and. more intimate. terms' with him
foe years than I ever was with any
other minister," he'said, "and I never
knew him to show anything but the
same sweet spirit. To have known
him as I knew him, was a privilege
and this church and this community
has in his memory a precious legacy."
The church was filled for the ser-
vic, many from all the churches in
town and from the communities of
Hohnesville and Varna, attending to
pay ti last tribute of respect to the
memory of a gooclOman.
The pallbearers were Messrs. H. B.

McNeil and J.1.1. McKay, Ailsa Craig,
and Miss Jean Ivison, Kippen.
A profusion of flowers surrounded
the casket, as seemed fitting, as Mr.
Snowdon was a great lover of flowers
and spent much time and, care over
his garden.

A Tribute froit the
lpen. of an old
Friend, Rey David Rogers...
As the stars sink away into the
light of morning and we do not real-
ize they are going, so from the multi.
tudes thronging our streets and our
churches, one after another, the aged
and the weary, disappear. Others,
in all the freshness of youth, hurry
into their places. A few hearts
mourn them long, but all may well
pause to pay • a parting tribute to
real worth. Such a eecognition is
due onr beloved and departed brothel!
Snowdon.
He was been in York, England,
August 17th, 1845, In his youth his
associations were with the church and
Christian people, and early in life he
was led to a full .and hearty espousal
of Christ and his cause. From that
consecration he never went back, and
through the years no blemish or 81.15-
picion sullied the brightness of Ids
private or public character, and for
ethis we tender thanks to Almighty
God.
He qualified as a school teacher
and for a few yeare engaged in thee
profession, but distinctly hearing the
call of God and his churche"he was
not disobedient to the heavenly ems -
ion" and in 1872 he was received as
a -probationer in the ministry of the'
W'esleyan Method* church and or-
dained therein in 1876. Hie early
years of service were spent in Mus-
koka, Penetanguishene and other
laborious circuits, where he exper-
ienced the joy of seeingmuch fruit
to his labors.
•
After. forty-six years of unbroken
service, he was obliged to desist front
hie meth loved work, and was super-
annuated in 1918, settling in the town
of Clinton. There he -rendered such
service as he was able, in the pulpit,
