THE HURON EXPbSITOR.
Rev. John Ross, Brucefield.
[Rs Rev. Professor McLaren, Knox College,
Torento.i
The recent death bf Rev. John Ross
will be felt in a wide circle as a heavy
loss to the Canadian IChurch. His entire
ministerial life wag spent in a rural
charge, no very striking incidents dis-
tinguished his outward life, and he has
left almost nothing behind him in the
way of authorship, yet he has made an
impression on those who knew him such
as few men make.
He was born in the town of Dornoch,
Sutherlandshire Scotland, on the 11th
of November, 1g21. He came to Canada
in early life and lived for some time in
the township of Zorra, which has given
so many men of worth to the ministry
of the Presbyterian Church. The dis-
ruption of 1844 was followed by the
establishment of Knox College as a
training school for those who were look-
ing forward to the ministry in connec-
tion with the Presbyterian Church of
Canada, and in the fall of that year
John Ross entered the new institution to
prepare for his life work. His name
appears in the Register immediately
after that of John Black, who subsequent-
ly did such noble work in laying the
foundations of Presbyterianism in Mani-
toba. The present writer entered Knox
College two years later, and well re-
members the powerful impression made
by Mr. Ross' strong personality on hie
fellow students. He did not parade his
religion. He spoke comparatively little
of his religious feelings and experiences,
but no one could come into close contact
with him without learning something of
his deep spirituality and profound
earnestness. He was very natural and
unconventional in his style of dealing
with religious matters. His religion
was not a garment put on, but a life
which manifested itself; and his charac-
ter was so transparent and the currents
of his religious nature so strong that the
spirit which reigned in him was visible
to all around him. •
During his college course, Mr. Ross
took a very high place as a student.
Ile was a thinker, but his thinking did
not always run very closely in the lines
of his class work, and he would not
have distinguished himself in cramming
up for a modern examination. Even in
his ordinary class work he always took
a good place, but it was as a profound
and original thinker who had a peculiar-
ly clear grasp of divine truth, that he
became specially known both to protes-
tors and students. He was pre-eminently
a theologian. Like many mon of genius,
he had not the habits of study which'en-
abled him to do full justice to his powers,
but his strong personality impressed all
who knew him with the conviction that
he was no ordinary man.
After completing his college course,
Mr. Ross was ordained to :the Gospel
ministry on the 25th of September,
1851, over the congregation of Bruce -
field, in the county 'of Huron. There
he continued to labor with great fidelity,
until he fell asleep in Jesus oil 8th
March, 1887, in the 36th year of his
pastorate, and in the 66th year of his
fife.
The end came very suddenly. He had
a strong. physical frame and enjoyed
good health until very near the close of
his career. A heavy cold which de-
veloped into inflammation of the lungs
was the messenger sent to call him
away. For a time the disease seemed
checked and the loved. ones around him
did not apprehend danger until the clos-
ing scenes were almost upon them.
From indications recalled afterwards,
it is supposed that he had himself ear-
lier premonitions that the end was near.
Certain it is, that when the Master call-
ed he was ready. Many words of Chris-
tian faith and love were spoken by bini'
as the hour of his departure approached
—words which go far to take the sting
out of the great sorrow of the bereaved
ones left °behind. And after he had
spoken his parting words to wife and
children, he went calmly forward to
meet Him whom he loved supremely.
• With no great manifestation of joy, but
with a firm unwavering faith in Christ
he entered. the dark valley, and the trust
which sustained him in life he found
sidlicient in the hour of death. "The
last breath, " writes one who was pres-
ent; " was drawn about seven o'clock in
the evening, and graciously for those
about his bedside, there was neither a
groan nor the twitch of a muscle. He
fell asleep in Jesus as gently as a little
child falls asleep in its mother's arms."
For many years Mr. Ross took an
active share in. all the work of the
Church, and his voice, whether in Pres-
bytery or Synod, always commanded
the respect and attention of his brethren.
From the inceptien, hal854, of the ne-
gotiations for Union between the United
Presbyterian and the Presbyterian
Church of Canada Mr Ross took an ac-
tive and influential part in the discus-
sions which issued in the union of 1861.
Daring the greater part of this period
he was a member of the Union Commit-
tee, and rendered marked service to the
cause of the union. He was sufficiently
conservative in his views to be in sym-
pathy with that section of. the Church
which was least favOrable to union,
and yet had a mindsufficient]y compre-
hensive and a spirit generous enough to
enable him to appreciate other aspects
of questions at issue and to view them
front the standpoint of those with whom
he was negotiating.
1rt the discussions which preceded th4
second union which occurred in June,
1875, Mr. Ross took an active part, but,
unfortunately, he was not in the end
able to see his way to enter the united
Church. He was present at Montreal
and witnessed the consummation of the
union, but he took no part in the pro-
ceeclities of the day. His separation
from brethren with *horn he had long
been associated in the bonds of church
centricities were those of a man of
genius who was always aiming at the
glory of God and the welfare of men.
In ecclesiastical debate /he took a large
part, but was the truth and not the
desire of victory whielh urged him on.
He was chivalrously honorable in deal-
ing with the views of an opponent. He
scorned to take an unfair advantage in
discussion. He seemed to .possess the
gift of eliminating fronh discussion those
petty and irritating elements which im-
part bitterness to debate, and of fixing
attention upon the great, principles at
issue.
As a -E;reacher he was variable. He
was always evangelical, for he under-
stood the doctrines of grace and loved
them. But at times he seemed to speak
with difficulty and hesitation. At other
times fresh conceptions of divine truth
seemed to well up from within and
clothe themselves in fitting words.
When he was at his best few preachers
have ever attained greater power. But
his power was not that of artificial
oratory, but the power of divine truth
clothed in fitting words, spoken in , the
demonstration of the Spirit. -
-While in defending truth or
sin, Mr. Ross showed -something of the
stern spirit of the ancient prophets, he
was in private life genial, warm-hearted
and affeetionate. He was married twice,
and was peculiarly happy in his domes-
tic relations.
To every man God gtves his own work.
Some gather many into the fold of
Christ, and others scatter ideas, impart
higher and richer conceptions of truth
and duty to their fellow -laborers and
thus raise the standard of Christian
thought and: life in the Church of Christ.
It was given to Mr. Ross to do good ser-
vice in both departments. He saw the
direct result of his labors in the in -
gathering of souls into the kingdom,
but we doubt not, he did more of his
work through others, whom he was in-
strumental in leading to higher views of
truth and duty. In that day 'when the
threads of holy influences can be traced,
it may be found that ma.ny who have
never seen his face or heard his voice
will have reason to bless God for his
lifework.
But his course is now finished and he
waits his reward. To him it has been
said "Go thou thy way till the end be,
for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot
at the end of the days."

Accordingly -the pig was purchased,c nd
immediately another problem cam up
to be solved, viz. : how to get a pen for
it. Casting about, the Doctor disco er-
i
sed a large drygooda box in which so e of
his household effects had been recei ed.
Be set to work with saw and haminer,
and with pieces of boards from the box
he soon constructed a pen, which was
only a little larger than the pig itself.
In a few weeks the pig grew so that it
hardly had room to turn around, and
another difficult question had to be set-
tled. The Doctor studied over this
matter several days; meanwhile the pig
was hourly getting larger. He finally
decided to go over to the neighbor from
whom it was purchased, and ask if he
would be kind enough to exchange even-
ly and give him another small pig for
the large one that had outgrown its pen.
The lady telling this story, Miss Em-
ma C. Cook, of Washington, D. C., then
a child of ten, says she sat in her father's
wagon while the good Doctor told her
father in all seriousness, her kind his
neighbor was to give him e, small pig
for his large one, without charging any
difference.
