WALTON.
The Late_ John A. Watt. -:The sum-
-mons of
um--mons:af death carte very, suddenly to
•a very highly respected resident of
this section in the person of John
'Watt of Walton on ,Saturday morn-
•ing, April 25th, when he succumbed
•without warning toan attack of heart
-trouble, :the culmination of a seizure
• of influenza which he ,suffered three,
years ago, from the effects of which
:he never, fully recovered. He was a
son of the lateGeorge (Watt and was
born on the eleventh^cf March in the,
year 1'%7,4, . on lot 10, • coricession 13,
SHuiistt township. Here he lived un-
-til early m'anhbod when he engaged,
in farming on Idt 6, doncession914, of
tttar" 1
the same township. On Jan y 3 ,
1900, he married Miss Tessie Mul-
:•doon of McKillop Township and five

-for the ,ensuing two years had their
-residence on. the 18th con. of MdKsi-
lop, In 1907 he .erected a. home dn.
'Watton and entered into partnership
-with Geo. E. 'Ferguson as drovers, To
hien "belongs the honor •of making the
-first shipment of live stock over the
Guelph and IGodedich railway when
:first opened to 'traffic. The partner-
ship of ,Ferguson & •Watt existed for
six years,' when Mr. Ferguson moved
to Toronto to reside. Mr, Watt con-
tinued the business until the time of
his dea't'h. He was a man of admir-
able personal characteristics. Honest
and upright in all his dealings, was
•one of th'e most esteemed drovers that
went on the Toronto market, and
won a host of friends and 'business
associates who sincerely regret the
.passing of one of such an outstanding
personality .frost•, the sodial and busi-
ness life of the community. The late
Mr. Watt eras a former Presbyterian
and a member of ,the Masonic Order,

The Helping -Hand Mission Band
meeting .was held on Saturday, May 2,
at 2.39 in the school room of the
church. Meeting opened with hymn
719. Scripture lesson was read by Ol-
ive Pryce, followed by prayer by
Mrs. William Dodds. After singing
hymn 797 Elizabeth MaoFarlane read
a very interesting story "The Little
African Boy." The study period was
devoted to learning about the Japan-
ese children. The minutes of the pre-
cious meeting were read and adopted.
Plans were made for the next pro-
gram. The meeting closed with the
Lord's prayer.
Sympathy is extended to Mrs. Ro-
Sert McFarlane in the death of her
father, the late Wesley Tenant, who
passed away at his daughter's home
on the Gravel Road on Tuesday af-
ternoon. Last week Mr. Tenant's
condition became so serious that his
daughter, Mrs. Irvine Watt of Cha-
teauguay Basin, Quebec, and his song
bit, Herbert Tenant, teacher, of Ot-
tawa. were called to his bedside, The
remains were taken to Ottawa on
Wednesday- and the -funeral will be
held in that vicinity on Thursday.
Mit. Tenant was a native of Lanark
County.
SIDELIGHTS AT THE SYNOD.
Highland knight,yr th the soul of r
bard and seer. C L Cowan of Hamil-
ton, sky -pilot and Covenanter always
with a sprig of heather in his helmet
and some good red blood splashed on
his armor. :These and many inose are
like the nates of the Hundred and
Twenty fourth Psalm
'"Now Israel
May say, and that truly,
If that the Lord:
Had not our cause maintained-"
But the "faith' of our fathers" has
been uttered in every speech and
language. Yonder is G. Lloyd Evans,
of aryls who.well
represents' our
kithand k
indred.. in 'Wales. Frank Kb
vacs, of Hahni'iton, in tlhe sonorous
speech of Hundary, is like an echo of
the great John Hus. 'Then there are
the voices heard in Eden, with Dr.
James MadKay, of London, leading,
and A, D, Sutherland of Hamilton
and A. 1VIac1•ver of Tiverton, in pure
Gaelic, responding, It would be a sad
heresy to conduct a Synod without.
our Highland Chieftains,
But, after all, the Canadian youth,
fired and born on the farm, are in the
majority at this meeting. Gnaduated
first in the use of axe and hoe and
fork, excelled in the manly art of "do-
ing chores," thus they' early took to.
the road of fame and 'have vindicated
the doctrine of the "perseverance of
the saints." Whoever have rendered
finer service to a church than R. A,
Cranst'oh of Welland, W'. J. West of
Atwood, R. M. Hanna of Ripley, C.
H, M'adDonald. of Lucknow, Donald'
MacKay of Loudon, and John T.
Hall of Chippewa? They will reaoh
She rnaderlator's chair by turns as
surety as they•w'ent to the bat in the
country schoolyard. The -strategic
points ,seem to 'have largely called
others of like training to man the
walls. W. J. Walker is in Niagara
Falls, 4-1. M. Paulin at Windsor, `•B'in-
ney" Bllack at. Sarnia, R. C. McDet-
mid at Goderich and J. T. Strachan
at Owen Sound. Others from the
seine group have kept closely to their
books as well as their Kirk sessions.
Dr. John McNair, Landon, like Wil-
liam Proud'foot, the first of our faith
to be settled iii the Forest City, could
teach •a whole curriculum of theolog-
ical ,studies. Dr. N. ,D. MacDonald, of
Port Colborne; J. A. ,Shaver, Dundas;;,
S. D. Jamieson, Merlin, and Dr. H.
11.•Turner, Leamington, also have the
distinct half -marks of learning.
"Sons of tlhe manse" are fairly splen
tiful, with J. A. Laird, St. Thomas;
T. W: G'oodwitl, Blyth; H. D. Cam-
eron, Strathroy; Irvine B. Karin, Sea -
forth, and W. I. MGLean, Hamilton,
keeping bright their fathers' shields.
1Still more unique parts have been
played by others. Yonder is Dr,'
Marsh, of Norwich, who is as familiar
with the stars as.most :of the brethren
are with the shops in their villages,
and who thaws the noon to wonder-
ing eyes as if it Sat on the mantle -
piece in his study. Next comes "Tom"
Dodds, of Coruna, with four sermons
per Sunday; a giant, and nobody
hopes to fill the suit of khaki he wore
in France, or that which he pulled qff
after the chlanspionship rugby game
back in the nineties on Varsity field..
Moreover, there is "Davie" Ritchie of
Point Edward who has taught;gotf as
well as the catechism, and it w'ou'ld be
almost worth shortening a sederunt
for the "fathers and brethren" to
watch hint go a round on the links.
'The Synod has many fine preachers
among those already named. And
there are others. J. Goforth Hornsby,
of Burlington; W. A. J. Graham,' of
Westdale, Hamilton, and R. J. Wilson,
of Hamilton, easily -conte to mind in
this connection. It is to be regretted
that our "quill" cannot write from
personal knowledge of those not men-
tioned. Then we' have the ex -modera-
tors who are . carrying lightly their
long service in the Church, and also
quite humbly bear their honors. Two',
of theta Nave not yet been in this
group -sketch, namely, Dr. J H. Bar-
nett of Ridgetown; and Rev. J. A.
Brown of Ingersoll. ,And finally, two
whose names are greater than their
service in any Synod or denomination,
being household words in Canada.
They are Dr. D. R. Drummond, of
Hamilton, for whose health the whole
Church is praying, and Dr. Robent
Johnston, of St. Catharines, scholar,
orator and citizen of the whole Do-
tni ion,
'But every man has his elder. That
is, he is either here or at home. And
true "worthies" they are. One of the
best known is from Huron -Henry
Strang, of Exeter, John Knox would
have been glad to ordain such a man.
Others from Huron who are of the
same spirit and have been at many
Synods are Dr, Simpson of Kintail,
Wnt. Shortreed of Walton and F. G.
Weir of Goderich. It is sometimes a
pity that the flow of eloquence from
the ministers swamps the opportuni-
ty of such. men as A. W. Reid of
\Windsor, and W. G. Stark of Cha
tham, to offer their ideas. There are
some, however, like the old herd,
Amos, the prophet, who I:rave a lion
in their soul, and must speak out.
Two of them are school inspectors,
J, W. 'Marshall of Niagara Falls, and
James Gill of Hamilton. Another is
His Worship Mayor Andrew of
Stratford, with David Fraser, well-
known business man in Hamilton,
who is a keen follower of every• dis-
cussion. It good for the clergy to
have a well -set-up figure in the corner
of a seat, like James MdLandress of
St. Thomas, Big conceptions are
usually held in the presence of such
big ,nen. Some of the veterans are not
so regular as the Synod would like.
John Penman, of Paris, who is both
a John the Baptist and John the Be-
loved. And James Smith, of Stoney
Creek, who learned to sail a boat in
the Orkneys, and hasbeen a success-
ful .fisher of men, and boys and girls,
as an old Sunday school superintend-
ent,
. Again our quill must apologise to
the multitude Of worthy eiders who
are passed over in this sketch.
(5By "Quill" in the Goderich Signal.)
Those "Old Huron Boys" seem to
be real boys again. They are right at
home. See them walking around the
circular -main street, wondering where
the old faces are,'seen in the long ago.
And they look at the court house, re-
membering'things. Those July days
upstairs writing exams, Nasty Latin
idioms in+:Horace and wretched solu-
tions ,from Todhunter's Algebra.
Worse even than sitting at Presby-
terian meeting, hearing a dispute be-
tween a choirmaster and a minister.
Nowhere are the maples so queenly as
in Huron, and the breezes more like
refreshing beverages from royal gob-
lets.
Huron boys? Yes! There is. Davie
Lane from Ashfield, now the splendid
pastor at Wa'llaceburg; Walter Mc-
Lean, son of the fatuous manse at
Blyth, now in a growing charge in
Hamilton; Austin L, Budge, a Wawa
nosh boy who taught school in Col-
borne and is clerk of the 'Synod; Rob-
ert Duncanson from Walton, whose
zeal sent him to the foreign field as a
missionary -health broke down and
he is the very successful minister in a
new church at Bridgeburg; Beverley
Ketchen of ,ruce;fietd, now one of the
most graceful and el'o'quent preachers
in Canada, who has completed twen-
ty4five years in, Hamilton; August
Drumm front Clinton, now moderator
of the Hamilton :Presbytery, and John
Strachan from Brussels, no'w in a
large congregation in Owen Sound.
Next to the Huron 'Boys seem to be
the Irish. Next, we mean, in the way
they have come to town to -enjoy the
Synod. They are more than good fel-
lows, being a real hierarchy. Every
one of them seems to be a Burning
Bush with a few Orange ribbons twin-
ed in the branches. Faith, and it's
true they could hold a General As-
senibly• themselves. With Dr. S.
Banks Nelson of Hamilton, moderator
and principal of the Assembly's Div-
inity Hall and in the chair of Old
Testament. Then T. D. " McCullough,
Kincardine, (ave omit the titles), the
ex -moderator of Synod, as clerk of
Assembly; W. F. McConnell, the tire-
less orator of Paris, as secretary of
the General Board; Geo, Rowland of
Stratford, professor of New Testa-
ment; M. Scott Fulton, Chatham, the
Assembly's evangelist; Dr. K. Hunter
Palmer, Hamilton, professor of homi-
letics and church history; E. G.
Thompson, professor ,of divinity E.
C. McCullagh Brantford, general sec-
retary of Sabbath schools, and James
C. Ross of Waterdown, editor' of The
Record, But the procession is so long
we cannot name all of them.
Here, too, are the Scottish Coven-
anters, a thrifty race; to be found
wherever there is a penny and a
principle at stake; not likely to be
absent from the Synod in Huron. Dr.
Alex. Forbes of Teeswater, who pion-
eered for ,Presbyterianism in the
Peace River country, would "look the
part" dispensing the sacrament• in a
glen. .hidden from the dragoons; and
Dr. Duncan of Stratford, like the
Scottish thistle. "touch me wha dour,"
is a fine bit of the militant Kirk, Dr.
Barr of Brantford, and David Jack,
Caledonia, look fit„and fearless whe-
ther in a gown with bands or a tar-
tan plaid. Wm. Barclay of Hamilton
is worthy, every way, to take up the
old Blue Banner of the Kirk and Co-
venant. Robert Allan, also of Hamil-
ton, whom neither thumb -screw nor
the stake could shift from his views.
