A VETERAN METHODIST MINISTER. PASSES AWAY Rev. Henry A. Newcombe Celled Home at Ripe Age of 83. Last Thursday Rev. Henry A. New- combe was called Bottle to his reward after a life well spent for His Master at the age of 83 years. Mr. Newcombe was a native of Dev- onshire, England,, haying been born in the parish of Bulkwo-rticy, near the town of Baytown. Before he was i8 years of age he was working as an evan- gelist and exhorter; busy earning his living by day and preaching and hold- ing public meetings, in company with other workers, in the evenings. Dur- ing all this time he had an idea of be- coming an English church clergyman; it was not his desire to desert the church of his fathers, but the way did not open and he had neither the time or the means to devote to the 'gaining of the necessary education, For four years he worked as a local preacher and exhorter, when he entered the regular work as a probationer. For six years his probation lasted during which time he preached as assistant on different changes; attended a coll- ege open for the education of young ministers of that faith and picked up whatever knowledge he could from different sources; one of his tutors being a Presbyterian, or Independent, as they were then called, minister. 'After a probation extending over six years, the ,subject of this obituary was ordained a regular minister of the Bible Christian church, Just at that time there was a urgent call for men to come to Canada and Mr, Newcombe was asked' to come. He did not feel the call to Canada, but offered himself for work in Prince Edward's island. For six years .Mr. Newcombe labored there, preach- ing and organizing. He was the paeans .of having the first school house built and a teacher secured on the first mis- sion he was appointed to. Churches were built, societies were organized and new missions were opened, the missionaries sharing the hardships and living the lives of the 'people. The way then opened for his conning to `Canada. His first circuit was Tweede, THE CLINTON NEW ERh ,Mwrt'xtitl✓A- imww�a9alua wwiw�w .wk.r'nI'Mq"�'W`ur.uMar"wp•.u..,.,,..,w,wa,..,w,�xw.�ryu.ral�'.`..,�.—..-r..""

WIFE'S COLD HMsbsud's Bronchitis CURED BY DR. WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP. ' Mm. James Mack, Trenton, Ont., writes:—"I suffered for several months with a bad cold. Some friends told me about Dr. Wood s Norway Pine Syrup, and of the benefit it was to them. Before I had used two bottles I could, get some rest, which I could not do before. I had tried everything, but "Dr. Wood's" was the only thing U*Itiave me any relief. My husband addered terribly from bronchitis,, and did not know whether he was gouig to recover or not. At my druggist's, Mr. J. H. Dickey, I was ad- vised to try your syrup which I did, and am so thankful that I cannot recom- mend it highly enough." Many people on the first sign of the slight cold or cough neglect it thinking, perhaps, it will disappear in a day or two, but the longer it is let run the worse it gets until it settles on the ,lungs and serious results ensue. ' On the first sign of a cough or cold, get rid of it before it gets settled. Take a few doses of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup and see how quickly it wall dis- appear. This sterling remedy has been on the market for the past 30 years, and stands head and shoulders over all other cough remedies.
