JUNIORS DEFEAT KINCARDINE 2-1 For two periods on Monday night, Wiagham Juniors outclassed the her- ring, -fishers from Kincardine, having a margin of two goals to none. In the last period. ICincardine got a euun- ter on• a long low swift shot that Lance Brown could. not. block, A splendid crowd witnessed the duel, and were on tip -toes of excite- ment throughout the battle. Wing - barn had decidedly the best of the ar- gument in the first period, the pack rarely getting past the defence. Har- ry Brown made the first counter for the home, team. • In the second • period, the home team again had the better of the play, though nat to the sante extent. Dur- ing a scrimmage in front of Kincar- dine goal, Referee Rocker rang the bell, and on looking up saw the goal umpire's hand. raised for another tal- ly, which was allowed. In the last period Kincardine stak- ed everything on a determined on- slaught on the Wingham citadel, car- rying a four and fivemaneatack. Their efforts could not be denied and about half-time the visitors got their firsdotally. This seemed to put more determination into their play and for a time the locals were entirely on the defence. Three times Wingham for- wards got clear, through 'getting shots on the goal, but the man in that position made several sensational saves. • Wingham—Lance Brown, goal, H. Mitchell and Bert Mitchell, defence, Harry Brown, A. Ross, and Kennedi Somers, forwards, Harvey Groves, W. Gurney and A. Scott, subs. - EXTENSIVE DRAINAGE SCHEME • Engineer F. W.

Moderator Of Presbyter, Lan Church Passes Away • Rev. David Perrie, D.D., Pastor of $t. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Wingham, passed to his eternal re- ward at three o'clock Tuesday morn- ing, after a brief illness. Dr. Perrie never recovered from the shock of the death of his devoted wife just before he landed at Quebec from at- tending the Scottish General Assem- bly. During a long and exceedingly happy life she had proved a true help -- mate and devoted friend, on whom Late Rev. Dodd .Perrie, he relied for counsel and comfort with unfailing Confidence. Three weeks ago St. Andrew's COn- gregation granted him, leave of ab- sence to recuperate, but the grief of his sorrow was too, deep •for human skill to cure, and that happy reunion came much sooner than any antici- pated. David Perrie, was born in Scotland, and when a lad came to Huron Coun- ty with his parents, who settled near Brussels. Always of a studious na- ture he early decided on the ministry, receiving his early education at the collegiate at Goderich.. ,His later and histheological scholarship was -un- • „ dertaken at Knox College, Toronto, from which he graduated in 1888. It was front his alma mater in 1919 that he was given the honorory degree of b.D, T -he first two years in the min- istry were in North Nissouri, where he spent a season as student mission- ary, then going to Chesley where he labored four years. Thirty-six years this month he was inducted into the pastorate of Si Andrew's, Wingham, Where his pulpit ability and devoted life created an atmosphere of deep respect and veneration. He was a most conscientious man, devoted to the church of his choice, a .great stu- dent of Bible history and was recog- nized as an authority. During the troublous times. incident to Church Union Dr. Perrie fought valiantly for his church, and with such effect that he became better •known throughout the land. As a tribute to his person- al worth, a recognition of his schol- astic ability and high spiritual char- acter, he was chosee Moderator of the General Assembly at Ottawa last June, an honor justly meritc•d and not undeservedly conferred. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. .(Rev.) Gordon 'Rintoul, of Sud- bury; Mrs, 1-1, Parker at home arid Rev: b. 1 Perrie, D.D., of North 13attleford. The funeral services will be :held in St. Andrew's Church tosday at wee - thirty. Rev, G. Fowler, Moderator of Maitland PresbYterial, will pretide, Rev. Dr. A. J. MaeGillivray, Of Guelph will preach, and Rev, Or, J. C. Wil - San of Brampton and Rev. Dr. j. W. McNamara of Toronto, will alto as- sist. • In the passing of the Rev.

This was evidenced in the Presbyterian Church in Canada by his election to he Mo- derator of the General Assembly. "He was a man of Scholarly attain- ments and an able preacher.
