address read in connection with the
presentation:—
To Mr. and Mrs. John Reid:—We, the
congregation of Brick Church and other
neighbors and friends, hearing of your
proposedaremoval from our midst, and
being desirous of showing our apprecia-
tion of your services whilst members
of 'our church and your kindness and
sincerity as friends and neighbors,have
taken this opportunity of assembling in
your home and presenting you with
this parlor clock and mirror. We do
not think of presenting them in the
light of a compensation for either kind-
ness or service, but as a moment() of
the days and years spent together, We
hope that as this clock ticks off the
passing hours and days, it may bring
to you both memories of the many days
ancI years spent in pleasant fellowship
with friends of BricChurch and vicin-
ity. And as this mirror reflects the
ehanges made in faces by the passing
years, may it remind you of the others
of our number with whom you used to
associate, but who are now gone to
distant lands, or are passed to the Great
Beyond. We are united in wishing you
both many years of happiness and use-
fulness in the Master's service,
Signed on behalf of Brick Church
congregation, neighbors and friends.

It was scarcely dawn on Sunday,
April 9th, when John Strachan, one of
our oldest and most highly respected
pioneers of this locality, passed peace-
fully away to his rest. The end came
very unexpectedly. He had been suf-
fering from an attack of la grippe for
about three weeks but was recovering
nicely. Mr. Strachan was born in Ar-
gyle, Sriotland, in 1834 and 13 years
later, in company with the rest of the
family, came to Canada. After re-
maining for a short time in the vicinity
of Galt he finally turned his attention
to Huron County, settling on the 3rd
con. in township of Grey. In 1868 he
was married to Miss Annie McLean, of
Alborough, Elgin County, who survives
her husband. Family consists of three
daughters and three sons The daugh-
ters are:—Mrs. H. P. McCosh, of Pine
River; Lizzie and'Annie at home. Sons
are:—Crawford, at home; Donald, of
Pine River, and Jno. T., of Toronto.
Deceased was an exemplory man in
every respect, unassuming and gentle
in manner. He possessed that calm
quiet dignity which ever marks a true
Christian gentleman. Life to him was,
a steady stately journey, not artificial
nor disturbed, ever living with in the
power of Him who was, and is, the
Light of the World. He will be sorely1
missed in the Presbyterian church, as
an Elder and a church worker. In the
surrounding community he was held in
the highest esteem by all those having
the privilege of knowinghlm.
