Shanghai: Gradually he won the
confidence of the Chinese until he' is
today the Chief Foreign Adviser to

of Clinton, and his sister, Mrs: An-
dersen of Belleville, has been . Mrs.
Plumsteel's guest for the past couple

A BROTHER DIES ,
The following from a Philadelphia,

per in a northern section of this city,

Mr. Robert A. ,Parkinson, student
pastor of the Methodist church, ,Bay
field, has been. apparently misquoted
aild�hence falsely';aemised of inalcing
a certain remark in si sermon preach-
ed on Sunday, March 16th in Bayfield,
It is reported that some of the fisher-
men are offended because they have
heard that the preacher stated in the
course of his sermon that "Fishermen
'arethe ire biggest liars on -rho face of
the earth." Evidently somewhere in
the round of community gossip some-
one has misquoted the words of the
sermon, jokingly or ignorantly; it is
hoped not maliciously. To correct'
this mistake it alight be interesting
to the public to know what was said,.
It was. this, not the opinion of Mr.
Parkinson, but' a quotation from a
western preacher, who said "Christ
chose the fishermen, with his other
apostles, because they were the worst
liars on the face of the earth and
therefore needed. Jesus most of all
men." Mr. Parkinson plainly stated
in his sermon that -he did not agree
with this opinion, stated his reasons
and defended the fishermen.. So the
's
parson a accused of sayingthever
Y
opposite of what he really did say
and it
had been '
b e his purpose to correct
what he believed to be a false im-
pression concerning fishermen's 'char-
acters, Whether the preacher has
been jokingly or seriously misquoted,
it is a serious matter and the truth
should only be told.

HER NINETIETH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. E. Holmes of St. Catharines,
for many years a resident of Clinton,
and mother of Mrs. Chant, celebrated
her ninetieth `birthday; on November
19th, by an afternoon and evening re-
eeption, which was attended by a
large number of friends. She was
the rdcipient of congratulations by
letter and telegrani,'from all parts of
the Dominion and United States, and
was almost deluged by an avalanche
of flowers. The older Holmes fam-
ilysettled at St. Catharines about
1850, and consisted of seven brother&
and two sisters, all but twojof the
fatuity marrying, and Mrs, Hblmes is
now the only survivor of the group.
Her old friends were delighted to find
her in the enjoyment of comparatively
good health, with use of all her fac-
ulties, and the prospect of years yet
ahead of her. Every Sunday, if the
weather is favorable, 'she walks a-
bout a quarter of a mile to church,
