EGMVMONDVILLE.
fn past years a good many speak-,
ars and singers of world -note have
visited Seaforth,- On the night of
Wednesday, Y,Agt com-
munity
August 11th the no,
tmutity was once again greatly privil-
eged in having in ,their midst, Dr, F.
W. 'Norwood, of the City Temple,
London, England, one of ,the world's
outstanding preackers•and lecturers.
Div, Norwood is an 'Australian by
birth, his parents being amongst the
very earliest settlers, in that
great
bine land. Front hisout) the lad
y t
had an insatiable desire for knowl-
edge, which was ,met to tome extent'
by: the hooks within his reach, and
also by • his explorations of nature.
(Born of godly parents,' he began quite
eatrly in life to loot: forward to the
ministryand after a brilliant cd'llegc
course he -began this ministry in, his
native -land.
Although successhsl'as any man of
his gifts was hound to.•be, he was
still a coinparatively obscure minister
.when the•great war broke out. He
resigned his charge almost at once,
and made his way to the front, as
he himself expressed it, "without any
strings," desiring only- to do what lay
within his power for the comfort and
well-being of the men, Soon :he be-
came the idol •of the men in whose
midst he served. Like our own be-
loved chaplain, Canon Scott of Que-
bee, he faced death with the men
time and again. He brought comfort
to the wounded and dying, fortifying
their souls in their last trip "West"
and with his marvellous p'owers of
entertainment he brightened many,_an
Lour of weariness and pain. When the
Tu1 it of the
Cit Templele became va-
cant
through the resignation of Rev.
Fort Newton, -Norwood's namewas
suggested by some of .those who had
known and loved him at the ` front.
.tt first it was noteven, onsii e • e d
C 7 iC
•,l
but finally he was asked_to suppfy the
pulpit for two months. The result
was a 'foregone conclusion.' Even in
the palmiest days of the great Joseph
Parker, the City Temple was never
so popular, and a most enthusiastic
invitation was extended to Dr. Nor-
u•ood to become their past(ir.
rile place that Dr, Norwood now
),olds in the esteem of the British
people is evidenced by the fact that
he ,has been chosen from amongst all
the gifted melt- of the Empire to un-
dertake a "Peace Mlstion for fhe
Government. ninler the auspices Of
the Teague of Nations.
It was through the good offices of
.Dr. F. A. Robinson, who has render-
ed, such magnificent services to our
land in bringing withdn our reach a
lintuber of the world's greatest
preachers and lecturers.` that. Dr.
Norwood revisited Canada, and it

Dr. Robinson that Egmondviile con-

secure the services of 1)r. Norwood
or one night.

Anticipating, that their own church
might fail to accommodate the crowd,
the committee in charge gladly avail-
ed, themselves of the gracious offer
whichlaced Northsided Church
p h at
their disposal, and the result proved
the wisdow :of such a -step. Well be-
fore tie hour for beginning the cht rch
was comfortably filled, and 'before the
programme actually began even
the
aisles were filled. The
meeting was
opened with one stanza of "Old
Slundredth,'&,and after a few brief
remarks'hy the chairman, -Rev, W. 1).
McDamald of Egmpndville, Mr. A. E.
Greenlaw captivated this audience
with his initimable rendering of a
.couple -of negro "spirituals." Rev`
W. P. Lane, pastor of Northside con-
gregation, then epolte briefly, ac-
lenotviedging the honor of )laving a
man of Dr.. Norwood's standing in
his pulpit, and Mr. Greenlaw contri-
buted another solo and encore.
With just .one further word, of in-
troduction, Dr. Norwood began his
now worldafamous lecture entitled,
"Auitbralia, The Land of Silence." It
would be futile to atte1titpt in even the
briefest possible manner to rehearse
or epitomize the lecture. Suffice it to
say that what with his remarkable
command of the English language,
his splendid voice, his quick and
vivid imagination and his ready twit,
as well as .his accurate first=hand
knowledge of his -subject, Dr. Nor-
\t•oocl both instructed and delighted
his audience as few men are able to
do,
- At the conclueiou of the lecture,;
Greenlaw sang by request a home 1
at•ng of his. .onvncomposition. entitled.
"Where the Sweetest Flowers Grow"
and after responding to a most en-
thusiastic encore,- the ---entertainment.
\vas concluded swith •
w the.0g hig of
the National anthem.
The splendidattendanceand the
very manifest appreciation hoth go to
show that whew a real effort is made
to bring the hest' talent within our
reach: there are those who will gen
erously respond. Many of the sur-
rounding towns and villages were
well represented and judging by their
(.oil3imetits felt more than .repaid for
their coming. The total attendance
was something in excess of '700.
