The body was brought to Clinton on Friday evening and placed in the churclitheeeto await - interment on the following day, In the chancel it lay, amidst many wreaths from friends and relatives, all bearing ' silent but eloquent testimony to the high respect in which the late reverend gentleman was held. As he lay there Longfellovv's words seethed true -"The peace of God in all his looks." The sad event took place on Wednes- day, 9th inst., at his residence in De- troit, and as the sad announcement was passed from one to another it caused sincere grief. It was known that he had been in declining health ever since leaving Seaforth, but not that his condition was so serious. He was a man of strong individual- ity, one whose advice was eagerly sought for in other -than ecclesiastical matters; one who was genie I and friend- ly, tninking evil of no one, and bene- fitting any he could. Enjoying many friends, he had no enemies. In the ministry he was a faithful steward of God, his teachings sound, living up to what he professed and taught, and his sermons bore evidence of ,thorough nreparedness. Ie Was a diligent, in- dustrious and successful pastor in all the charges with whiph he was con- nected. In the Presbytery he was a valued member, always ready to take any part in committee work, In church, state, home .and society he commanded the liking. the esteem and the respect of all who knew him: His influence for refinement and good did much for the moral rating for which • the Seaforth lacrosse club was noted. During his early pastorate he had con- siderable driving to do, and the excel- lency of the horse and proficiency of the driver attracted the attention and comments of many.
