"THE CHURCH'S ONE FOU
DATION
to
N-,
It is seldom, that a hymn, written in
the heat of a theological controversy,
and intended to emphasize one parti-
cular set of doctrines, should become
such a universal favorite that every
group within the church should sing
it with unqualified approval. Yet that.
is what has happened in the case of
this hymn..' It was written by Rev.
Samuel John Stone in /866 at a time
when the Anglican Church was much
ll eunortho-
dox
exercised over the a eg d nox -
io
dox teaching of Bishop Colenso, who
had just published a book denying the.
historical ae&uracy of the Pentatetteh.
There was sharp division' within the
ranks of the church, Mr. Stone felt
the situation ,keenly and believed that
the very .tottndations of the faith were
being undermined, Nor did he mince
words when he wrote.' ' Ono verse of
the hymn which has since been mitt.

The Late Vidrew' Linklater
Laid To Rest On Thursday
It was one of our beautiful spring
days, when nature had again put on
her garb of green, when the mortal
remains of the late Mr: Andrew Link -
later were laid: to rest in. the Wing -
ham Cemetery. He belonged to that
sturdy race of pioneers, whose ranks
are now almost depleted, there being
only two or three Left in the district
who would come in the same class.
Besides a• host of friends and rela-
tions he leaves to mourn his loss, one
daughter,
Mrs. J.Ellxt
t of town,
two grand children and one great
grand child, Mrs, Dr. Lockhart ,and,
son, John Andrew of Edmunston,
New Brunswick and Mr. and Mrs:
Weir Elliott of Welland; arrived just
before he departed this life.
Mr. Linklater was born in the Osk
ney Islands about 85 years ago..
Three. elder brothers had gone to
Canada before him, about the middre
of the last century viz: Magnus; John,
and Willian6 The last named had
learned the trade of carpenter, in the
summer of '54 he worked his way to
the city of Hamilton and then west
to the village of Manchester., (now
Auburn) some of the houses he work-
ed. at is still standing. In the autumn.
of that year after locating a home-
stead, he went back. to Orkney fob' the
express purpose of bringing out a life.
partner, and. at the same time brought
out the'rest of the family,ro: in all, of
whom only one is left, Mrs. Catherine
Young, with their father and mother.
After a stormy voyage of 8' weeks' and'
2 days they landed in Canada:. They
made their way at once to the Town-
ship of East Wawanosh,: where they
lived for many years.
For the first 5 years Andrew stayed
with his brother William, who found
ready work at his trade in fitting up
settlers, cabins and making them rea-
dy for habitation, Comingas, they
did from a land devoid of timbers,
they were not experienced in the cutt
-
ing down of the "Monarchs of the
Forest." f1ke most young people he,
wanted to be ind'ependent, therefore'
he bought from his brother John, the
back half of what is now known as
the old. Salt Well Farm. He soon
cleared a piece of land and it wasn't
very long till he had: a home ready
for a housekeeper. In 1867 he marr-
ied Miss Isabella Hogg and she was
an excellent helpmate and before long
they were on the way to independen-
ce. They had flue children who
would soon have been an aid .to the
parents in their work, but one cold
winter's day they lost their second
oldest, a bright boy, with that dread
malady , dyphtheria, inside of two
weeks, three more were taken leaving
thein only the eldest girl; (now Mrs.
Elliott). The old, saying that mss -
fortunes don't come singly was veri-
fied, in this instance for his father, the
late John Linklater died at the same
time and he wasn't able to be present
at the funeral, After a time they sold
their farm and about 32 years ago
along with Mr, and Mrs. J. J. Elliott,
they moved to the town. of Clifford,
where Mr. Elliott had. a good vetin-
ary practice. After seven years ago
they moved back to Wingham, Mr.
Elliott purchased the old Foundry
property, which ce he turned into a vet -

Mr. Linklater's father, the late . Mr,
John Linklater, went 3 voyages to the
Davis Straits in the Whale Fishing,

this age of fast going aeroplanes

to take a trip to the North Pole.
