OFDL'E.IL LARKIN Served As Minister of First Presbyterian Church 1900 TO 1928. Dedicating a tnetnorial tablet in First Preebyterian Church Sunday morning to the memory of the late Dr. P. H. Larkin, who for twenty- eight years served the congregation, Dr. C. It McDonald, Lecknow, last year Moderator of ithe Presbyterian Church ie. Canada, told the congrega- tion, which filled the auditorium of the church. the greatest need of the church today is men. 'This tablet Is placed here because this ,cqngregation thinks lovingly of him and wants to perpetuate his mem- ory, becauge we. went to remember his faithful and fruitful ministry. But ttere is 'another way to honor him. The finest memorial to one who has preached the riches of Christ is a life dedicated to the service of' the Mas- ter -whom he loved." De Larkin's ministry in Seeforth began in 1900 and continued until his retirement in 1928. The tablet erect- ed in his memory was unveiled by his son, Fred Larkin, of Windsor. Mem- bers of the lDr. Larkin family were !present and occupied front pews in the church. During the service the choir, under the direction of Robert E. Becktel, sang "God is the Spirit" and Mrs. Frank Kling sang "In the Carden." . • - - "What mean yie by this memorial tablet?" Dr. McDonald asked in his .dedicatory sermon. "Older folk will not ask the question. It is a mem- Oriel to one who was minister here for 23 years. I like that word 'minis- ter.' The Son of Man came to minis- ter, to serve. 1 am among you as one that serveth. He ministered to this people. He married us.. He bur- ied my parents. He was with usin trouble. He shared our joys and sore,. rows. He baptized my babies. He baptized me. was an earnest preacher, a faithful pastor, a good Presbyter, faithful friend, • Christian gentleman. One to whom Christ was so real •that both life and death took in a new look. He faced life and death un - 'afraid and taught us to face it thus. Row many boys and girls, passing• through the • storms that tose them 'as en a strange ;sea in their teens ' fount' in his word and greeting a 'ministry of steadfastness. How many men scrambling and pushing to make their way in the crowd, elated when they outstripped another and gloomy when they were themaelyes outstrip- ped were helped. by one from whose life the competitive element had dis- appeared? How many mourning pas- sionately in sorrow were quieted by one who had come through deep sor- row and had kept his faith? How many angered by petty slights were made wholesomely ashamed of them- selves as they talked with one who lived above the murky fogs in which we tufa-see and misjudge our fellow- men?" Dr. Melettnald• asked. Hold Outdoor ServiceAt Northside Church An interesting service was held on the lawn of Northside United.
