BOY HONORED
Divinity Degree Conferred by
Queen's University Upon
Rev. Colin G. Young.
At the annual convocation of Queen's
University, -Kingston, the honorary
degree of Doctor of Div„lnity was con-
ferred upon Rev. Qolin 0, Yoeng,-of
Saskatoon, Home Mission Superin-
tendent of the Presbyterian church for
Northern Saskatchewan. Dr. Young is
a brother of Messrs. Mex. and R, M.
Young, of Colborne township. At the
request of Queen's Journal, Prin-
cipal Oliver of the Presbyterian College
has written the following sketch for
the convocation number:
"Colin Gordon Young, bron October
16, 1868, in tolborne township, Huron
county, of Scottish ancestry. Iiis
father was a pioneer settler of Huron
county. Colin Gordon was the young-
est of seven brothers and three sisters,
He attended the rural school of his
community, No. 3, Colborne, of which
Rev. Dr, Peter Strang, now his as.
sociate superintendent of home mis-
sions In Saskatchewan, was teacher.
He studied in the Goderich Higt, school
under .1L I. Strang, L,L.D„ a famous
pedagogue of the last generation.
"In the fall of 1889 Mr. Young en-
tered Queen's University, following in
the footsteps of hisolder brother, now
Rev. Dr. John Young, of Pittsburg, Pa ,
He Took the general course and gradu-
ated in the' spring of 1893. On enter-
ing theology the same autumn he won
the first general proficiency scholar-
ship. boring tine summers he worked
as student missionary in several fields
In the Lanark and Renfrew Presby-
tery. In 1896 he graduated in the-
ology, winning an important scholarship
in divinity,
"in July, 1806, Mr. Young was 11-
censed by the Presbytery of Hamilton
of which his brother was at that time
a member. The following year he re-
turned to Queen's for post -graduate
work in theology. In March 1897, he
was called to Russelltown, Quebec,
and was ordained by the Presbytery of
Montreal on March 13, In 1900 he was
called to the pastorate of St. Paul's,
Prince Albert, the mother church in
Saskatchewan, and next to Kildonan,
the oldest in all Western Canada,
This pastorate was still under pion-
eer conditions, so that there could be
present for his induction only one
Presbyterian minister, who was as-
sisted by the -local Methodist pastor.
In this congregation he labored for
twelve years, and the present splendid
church and manse are a monument to
his efforts, In all this time he was home
mission convener, and practically sup-,
ervised the development of the mission-
ary enterprise in all Northern Saskat-'
chewan, Associated with the Tate Dr,
Carmichael, he was responsible for in-
augurating educational and medical mis-
sionary work among the Ukrainians and
other non-English peoples, of the
prairies.
"The general assembly of 1912 at-
Edmo,ntoin`appointed Mr. Young to the
position of home pression superintend-
ent of Northern Saskatchewan, a posit-
ion to which he has devoted his ener-
gies ever since, in this capacity he has
paid special attention to the non-En-
glish problem, which has been of part-
icular urgency in his district. In 1919
the home mission board of the church
set him aside to study and report upon
this important phase o f missionary
work. The board is now recommending
his permanent appointment as superin-
tendeet t f all non-English (other than
French) mission work done by our
church in the Dotninlon,"
Many Holiday 'visitors.
There were many holiday visitors in
town for the 24th and old friends were
glad to meet then' once again.
