'ATE REV JOHN ROSS,
OF BRUOEFIEi..D•
Some extracts from a sermon preached in Chalruer's
church, Woodstock, Oat., May 1Stb, 1587, by Bay W
A McKay, B A.)
The life of Johu Moss was distinguished,
riot by striking events or by wonderful
achievements, but by a holy, humble, con-
sistent walk with God; and few men in our
(lhuroh have left so deep and lasting an'im-
pression on all with whom they came in con-
tact. This is not the place for eulogy. Speak=
ing of the dead and In the presence of God
in His House, eulogy is unbecoming. But
Ntie would glorify God in the character and in
the endowments of His servant and child.
Inthe ease of John Ross we may not be able
oieto say, " Tread lightly ou his ashes, ye men
••O1 genius, for he was your kinsman ;" but
we can say what is far better, " Weed his
grave clean, ye men of goodness, for he .was
yonr brother," He was born in Dornock,
Scotland, on the llth November, 1821. He
came to Canada in early life and taught sohool
fee some time in our neighboring township
of West Zorra. At that time he was known
as a man of strong personality, deep couvic-
Lions, and more than ordinary devotion to
rlindy. In.1844, that is, the
of the Disruption, he began -his special work
of, preparation for the ministry in linos
College.
After completing his college course he was
ordained. to the gospel ministry on the 25th
September,.. 1851, and settled over the con-
t,ragation of Brucefield, in the county of
Fl: Iron. There he continued to labor until,
on the 8th of March last, the Master said,
" come up higher," in the GGth year of his
life and in the 30th year of his pastorate.
Duril,ng these thirty-six years he only missed
one Sabbath that he did not preach.
• * ,
Many of you will remember his appear-
ance in this town dive years ago at the great
. farewell meeting to Dr Mackay. The meet-
ing was held in the Methodist church, which
was kindly granted for the occasion, it being
the largest church iu town. There was a
congregation of about fifteen hundred persons.
There were thirty or forty clergymen and
many prominent laymen from all over our
province, including the Premier of Ontario.
A good deal had been said about the state of
the heathen, their degradation,and the duty
of the Church to them, when suddenly Mr
Ross sprang to his feet. His striking ap-
pearance, his peculiar voice, and his strong
Gaelic accent at once arrested the attention
of everyone. " What is the matter," he ex-
claimed, " with Formosa? What is the mat-
ter with China? What is the matter with
danada ? What is the matter with Oxford?
What is the matter- with Zorra ? What is the
matter with Woodstock ?" These questions
were put with slowness, deliberation and
solemnity. At the close he made a long
pause, looked round upon his audience, and
then answered his own questions in three
short words, " It is sic." Many who were
present will, never forget the effect, The
younger and less experienced of his hearers
may have failed to catch the point, but not
so with the more thoughtful and experienced.
Bad as were the heathen, and sad as their
condition, we in Oxford,in Zorra, in Wood-
stock, with all our boasted privileges, were
in the same category with them -afflicted
with the same malady and requiring the
same Physician.
Let me now speak a little about Mr Ross'
peculiar habit of carrying his Bible with him
wherever ho went -carrying it not in his
pocket or valise,. but always in his hand or
raider his arm and reading from it a verse or
passage to each one he met, be he stranger
or acquaintance. Many• who never heard
him in the pulpit will have reason to thank
God to alt eternity for the words he spoke to
them on board a train, at a railway station,
on the street, in the shop, or in the house.
Personal dealing under suet' circumstances
is hard work ; and few have the courage or
skill to attempt it, but John Ross did it in
such a spirit of humility, kindness and self-
nnconscionsness, that seldom was he rebuff-
ed even by the most careless and ungodly.
To illustrate to you his method lot•me quote
a few sentences from a letter written by one
of our ministers. lie says : " I had the pleas-
- nre,during my collegedays, of accompanying
Mr Ross from Toronto to Lmbro. When
we carne to Woodstock station Mr Ross met

Another dear brother in the ministry writes
to Inc ; " One of the most pleasant utem-
bries of my life is the record of four hours

The author has evidently spent considerable
time, patient study and deep rescank h in the
preparation of this volume, the result being
a compilation
of valuable � t t )le information and

covers of books. It deals with geology, the
peculiar characteristics of the uncivilized
human race, wild animals, birds:, insects, in
fact with all living bodies "in the heavens
above and the waters beneath," leaving no
field unexplored, and presenting the results
in a pleasing and attractive manner. The
work is only sold by agent, who is now in
this neighborhood taking orders, and we are
assnred that those who secure a copy will be
well pleased with their investment.
friendship. Anyone understanding the keen
enjoyment l)& is Qk i,I1 brotherly intercourse
with his friends can enter somewhat into the
sadness for him of such cogitations. .One
look up, and his Bible, and his heart went
out the words on which his eyes fell, " Bless-
ings on ti a crown of the head of him that
was separate from his brethren." The pas-
sage has ever since dwelt most, sweetly in
heart and memory, and is a beautiful hi -
stance of converse vouchsafed to him in
many trying circumstances.
His experience during his last visit to bis
old friends in Zorra was almost equally strik-
ing. He visited several families, and as
usual gave eaoh person a toxt. Before leav-
ing for home he observed to the pastor of
the congregation how remarkable it was that
on this visit the verses that came to him
were all about death, or the resurrection, or
eternity, and he exhorted the pastor to be
faithful to the souls of bis charge as many
of them were evidently soon to bo called
away. In view of his own death wegive an-
other application to his experience on this
occasion of his farewell visit to his old friends
and companions.
One more illustration must suffice. Some
years ago an active, useful minister of our
Church, who was greatly beloved by his peo-
ple, received a call to another congregation.
Before accepting it he happened to meet Mr
Ross. instantly the Bible. Was opened ani
the first verse that.. caught the eye read,
" Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the
hock." " Though not „what I should have
been," replied the minister, " I ani sure my
Master would not accuse me of eating the
bread of idleness, I am not an idle shepherd."
"It is not," said Mr Ross, but i -d -o-1."
The call was accepted, but that brother
never had comfort or success in his new field
and he soon left it for another. in which for
several years he has been doing faithful and
successful work for God.
I have no explanation to offer concerning
the abote remarkable incidents (and scores
of similar ones might be given,) I simply re-
cord them, and vouch for their accuracy. I
have them direct from the persons most
intimately concerned and whose testimony
is unimpeachable. Eaclt person will form
his own theory. No doubt some will talk of
"fanaticism," "chance," "mere coincidence."
It is so easy to talk.
It will be interesting to notice how he was
first led to begin the habit of always carry-
ing hie Bible and giving texts therefrom.
Here is the account in the words of his
widow.
He was one day preparing to start On a
journey, and was met by that text, "Whoso-
ever therefore shall beasliamedof mo, and of
my words, in this adulterous and sinful
generation, of hint also shall the Son of man
be ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of
His Father with the holy angels." His mind
avhs immediately caught by the doable ex-
pression, "Ashamedof Me and of My words."
" To bo ashamed of His words," he said,
" is to be ashamed of Hini." Now on this
journey I shall have a chance to sec whether
1 ani ashamed of Him or not. So lie took
his book with hint, and throughout the jour-
ney read out the words of God, as I suppose
many would say, "in season and out of sea.
son." But he came honk fully convinced
that he at least had not overcome being
"ashained of Hini and of His words." Though
few men could be bolder than he, few could
be more keenly sensitive than ho was, and
the pain it must have cost trim to break in
upon people's ideas, as he often did withhis
book, was stern and constant training for
him. Yet how many it polished shaf from
the Word of God has by this means, like the
arrow sent from the bow drawn at a venture,
been sent home " sharp into the heart of the
King's enemies," only the great day will de-
clare. Occasionally we hear of a word being
blessed, but they were scattered too widely
to be kept track of.
