Knowles iii the Toronto Star gives the following racy'sketch of the Rev, Beverley Ketchen, who has re- cently been given his "D:D," by Knox College. Dr. Ketchen is an old Bruce - field boy: "But it still must be said that the recent D.I. list from Knox - college contains one name whose every men- tion brings- a glow to the heart of all Vito know its owner. That name be- longs to' the Rev. Beverley Ketchen: once merely MA., but now D,D„ and always and evermore P.G.F., . which, interpreted, is prince of good fellows. For nearly a quarter of a century has Dr. Ketehen been the minister of Mc Nabb St. Presbyterian church, 'Hamil- ton, 'once .the pastoral arena of the famous Dr, lugles, who, like the Boan- ergian Dr. Ormiston, left the' quiet precincts of the Ambitious City for the boisterous life and labors of New York. Dr. Ketchen'a present charge is his only one thus far; and, from all exist- ing xist- i g i likely to,' n signs, is r ce be his last. For g , l Y let it be;said, in one word as brief as veritable, that Dr. Ketchen is the only Canadian minister, so far as I know, of whom it can be said that after a long span of years There is not, a man, woman, or child in his congregation who is not prepared to hang on to him with both hands. It is probably this that reconciles him to a lifetime spent in Hamilton, despite many an oppor- tunity to escape. Indeed, I have heard him say that he enjoys that cool, sequested vale -which would indi- eate that, had: Dr. Katcher: been of the same faith as Bishop Fallon, he woulc have propably sought a monastery nor found it tedious. In all seriousness Dr. Ketchen's eccentric experience of something approaching : an.. almost idolatrous affection from his longe suffering.' CCM, gregation, no elder "diluting, no deacon diminishing it, ie almost 'unexamplee in Canadian ecclesiastical annals: Yet, and nevertheless, he has' only himself to blame for it. He is but reaping what he has sedulously sowed. Clear of intellect, fastidious in the diseherge of duty, disereet in bearing, candid in' doctrine, faithful in friendship, tender and true in every'hiinian relationship, soh modest in demeanor and natural --ir sp everything•,. Dr. Beverley Ketchen might well expect, though he has A never sought, a personal and profes, simnel popularity which comes to bu'c th a few men in any generation, to still s fewer in an.age , so mercurial and cauricioussas our own. His life,, while not spent upon 'celestial heights, has be Yet been of the happiest' because of the most useful, and most' rich in tie en compound usury of Iove. of th ' OUR PRINCE INTERESTED The Prince of:�Wales•,cabled° '' the following message 'to the * minister of Trade ,. and Com- ' om merce, endorsing thb iinaugula tion of an Empire Shopping Week:- "I heartily congratulate' *" Canada on the inauguration or Empire Shopping Week • throughout the Dominion.
