Two new scholastic awards will be available to Goderich
District Collegiat Institute students this year. The winners
of both will be chin in June, 1976, with presentations to be

deserving Year 5 student at GDCI who was enrolled in at
least one Year 5 .course in Canadian History, Canadian
Geography or Canadian Literature (Canadian studies).

students in each of Years 1,2 and 3 based on his or her im-
provement in Mathematics with regard to scholarship and

An occasion for Presbyterians in the district
yterian moderator at Knox
The Moderator of t.h.e 1975 General
Assembly is a Canadian of Scottish origin
who represents almost all ,the branches of
Presbyterianism that came together in
1875 to form the Presbyterian Church in
Canada. He will be visiting Knox
Presbyterian Church/in Goderich Subday,
October 19.
It is about a quarter century since a
moderator has visited Knox,
David William Hay started his studies in
Edinburgh as a member of the United Free
Church which inn 1929 united with the
Church of.Scotland, so he was ordained in
the latter church.
While he was ministet of St. Margaret's
Chrr•ch, Dunfermline, he was approached
by the late Principal Thdmas Eakin with
an invitation to teach' in Knox College,
Toronto. Negotiations were in process
when World War II broke out, and David
Hay was comtnissioned as a'' chaplain with
the British forces.
Despite the war the General Assembly of
4.940 'appointed him to the Chair of
.Systematic Theology. Knox College. Four
years later, when he was enroute to Rome
with the First Battalion of the Scots
Guards, his release from the forces was
secured by the college. He speaks highly of
that famous regiment and its concern for,
the religious instruction of its men.
Now he is retirin0 from Knox College
after 31 years during which he has won
recognition among other denominations as
well as the Presbyterian Church for his
profound knowledge and firm faith. In 1949
Queen'§ University (United Church)
conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of
Divinity on David Hay, and in 1973 Trinity
College, Toronto (Anglican) honoured him
'in the same way. He was elected president
of the Canadian Council of Churches in
1960.
David Hay was born in Capetown, South
Africa, in August, 1905. When he was 14
years of age his family returned to
Scotland. He attended Royal High'School in
• Edinburgh. He . s,tudied at Edinburgh
University and took a Master's degree with
honours, He was graduated in 1926.
At New College, Edinburgh, David Hay
was in the first of',thd combined classes of
United Free Church and Church of
Scotland students, Elocution was taught by
Alastair Sim, since renowned as a
comedian and. actor. Famous professors
such as H.R. Mackintosh, A.C. Welch and
William MauSon made the young
theologian conScinus of the fact that
theology must be biblically based.
Professor Hufh Watt in church history
emphasized that the church reformed must
always be under reformation.
Post -graduate work followed in Ger-
many, ,some of it under Karl Barth, and
then followed a happy pastorate at St.
Margaret's, Dunfermline, in the County of
Fife.
In l946 in St. Margaret's Church the
minister was married to Christina,, the
daughter of Sir Charles and Lady Reid.
Her father was in the coal industry in Fife
and became chairman of the Reid Com-
mission which led to the nationalization of
coal mines during World War IT.
They had two children, Daughter Olive is
married to Frederick Meyer,, who teaches
music at the Wast Virginia Technical
Institute in Montgomery, U.S.A, She plays
the organ to the, Presbyterian Church
there, and Dr. Hay has baptized both his
grandchildren in that church,
`Alistair Hay, the moderator's son, is in
hasiness in Toronto. He is also fond of
music and for some years played the
French horn in 'the hand of .the Royal
Regiment of Canada.
Christina Hay died in 1967 after a lenghy''^
illness. The women of Calvin Church,
Toronto, where she had been an active and
concerned member, have since provided a
house for the resident minister in Jobat,
India, as a memorial to Mrs. Hay,
After three decades of teaching David
Hay can claim that most of the men in the
Presbyterian ministry today have studied
under him. Now that he has,been honoured
with the highest post in The Presbyterian
Church in Canada his people can.be sure
that he will carry that office With distin-
ction during his moderatorial year.
