The de- ceased, who was 75 years of age, was boru in England, but has lived the majority of his life in Canada. He is very well known throughout that county on account of his connection with the. Methodist church, He has on several occasions occupied pulpits in various churches of this denonrina- tion. He has spoken in the Salvation Army Barracks in Peterborough and is represented as one of the ' fast men to assist General Booth when the latter began his evangelistic career in Mile End Square, London, Eng.A week ago Mr. Forster went to Bethel church about three miles North of Warsaw to assist in the services. He became ill there but his illness was not thought to be of a serious charac- ter, making his death Sunday morn- ing a surprise. He arose early as usual and requested something to eat, but in the course of his wife's prepar- ations of the morning meal he sud- denly became dizzy while walking across the floor. Aaron McGuire of Peterborough, a brother of Mrs. Fors- ter, who was present, steadied him to a chair where he died a few moments later, Joseph Forster, of Peterbor- ough, eterbor-ou h, and Mrs. Samuel Ames, of Ethel, are cousins of the deceased. Mtesx0NA'aY.--Specially interesting was the gathering held in the Meth odist Ohu'ch here on Tuesday even-. ing to hear Rev. J. L. Stewart, B. A., a former junior pastor, who is home on furlough from Chentu, Ohina, after 6 years in the Mission field. Early in the evening a choice lunch was served in the Township Hall, the three ap- pointments on the circuit uniting. After being well looked after as far as the wants of the inner -man was con- corned an adjournment was made to the church where the ushers had a busy time getting the large audience seated, the building being taxied to its capacity. The pastor, Rev. John Hen- derson. presided and in a genial man- ner piloted the proceedings most satis- factorily to the close. A union choir, with Mrs. Wilson as organist, led the singing and contributed several.choiee selections, Miss Edith Freeman sing- ing the solo in the anthem in good voice. Short addresses along Mission- ary lines were given by J. K. Baker, Robb, Pearson, Councillor Richmond and W. H. Herr before : Rev. Mr. Stewart was introduced and very heartily greeted, For about 45 min- utes the reverend gentleman pleasant- ly, leasant ly, interestingly and instructively dwelt upon Chula that great land that is destined to fill so targe a place among the nations of the earth. Islany points were elucidated as to the historical, geographical and religious condition of the Chinese and incident- ally features of ordinary life depicted. Mr. Stewart certainly possesses the faculty of imparting knowledge and will uo doubt Mil a large place in the new Chentu college or university, Roods, Messrs, Powell, of Brussels, and McTavish, of Gorrie, spoke a few complimentarysentenceswhich was followed by a neatly worded vote of thanks to thoso who took part by R. McKay and B, Jackson, The offering was 312.00. Mt. Stewart's brief visit was greatly enjoyed and the meeting e should boa fruit bearer in the advance of Missionary interest and contribu- tions, Next Fall Rev. Mir. Stewart will return to his work in Ileks it clever youug man who will make his mark.
