LATE MODERATOR PAID LAST SAD RITES .
BY SYMPATHIZING FRIENDS AND OFFICIALS
With. every evidence of profound
respect to conseceated devotion, andl
with all honors possible from his be -1
loved church, the remains d Rev, D.
Perrie D,D., Moderator of the Pres-
byierian Charch, were reverently laid
away in Brussels Cernetery on Thurs-
day. Following a brief private serv-
ice at the Manse, conducted by Rev.
T. G. McCulloch of Kincardine, the
Clerk of Maitland Presbytery, a pub-
lic service was held in Si. Andrew's.
Here the big edifice was filled with
a deeply affected congregation, re-
peesentative of every shade of opin-
ion in the district, while the floral
tributes bore beautiful tribute to as
beautiful a Hie, As a tribute to con-
secrated devotion, all business places
were elosed during the funeral serv-
ices, while many private and public
functions had been postponed.
Rev. G. Fowler, Moderator of Mait-
land Presbytery, presided. Dr. Jas.
McKay of London, offered the invo-
cation. Dr. J. C. Wilson, of, Bramp-
ton, read the Scripture. Rev, (Dr.)
1. W. McNamara, clerk of the Assem-
bly, reviewed the ministerial life of
the late moderator. Rev. Dr. A. J.
McGillivray of Guelph, ex moderator
gave the address. Rev. j. A. Brown,
of Ingersoll, moderator, and Dr.
Drummond of Hamilton, represented
the Hamilton and London Synod.
Rev. S. Banks Nelson of Hamilton,
offered prayer. Rev. Dr. T. Albert
Moore of Toronto. represented the
United church.
A number of messages of sympathy
were read by Rev. T. G McCulloch,
of Kincardine, arnong which were one
from the officials of the church, one
from the Hamilton and London Sy-
nod, one from the Synod of Saskat-
chewan, Lord and Lady Willingdon,
Premier W. L MacKenzie King, and
Hon. W. D. Ross, Lieut -Governor of
Ontario. -
The pallbearers were: Albert Lloyd,
H. 13. ielliott, H. F. McGee, W. H.
Gurney, John Anderson, A, Hutchi-
son, Alex, Porterfield and John Ter -
'pits of our land and yet by far the
greatest sermon that he ever preach-
ed was over three decades of faith-
ful consistent living among his people
in this community, this will live on
while the days' of our years will be
lessened and all spoken worde will
be forgotten, The immortality of in-
fluence.is his as well as that. immor-
tality into which he has now entered.
He rests froni his labors and his
works do follow hine
Dr. Perrie was a soul of honor He
would scorn to do anything that was
low or mean or unworthy or of evil
report. We may certainly affirm or
say this of him without fear of con-
tradiction that in the days and years
that are to come, whatever future re-
cord of hi;life may be he never shall
be shamed.
He was a bulwark of power, and
strength to those who needed assist-
ance and be pressed very hard against
the force that needed resistence in
the community.
He was dependable to a degree.
There are those of you who may have
thought that he was inflexible, but
now that it is all over I am sure we
would not have him live a different
life than that which he had lived
while he was here among us. Thank
God for this man, who will be re-
membered in all succeeding genera-
tions as. a shadow of a great rock in
a weary land.
As to the work of Moderator, little
need be said. It was expressed by
Dr. McNamara, the Clerk of Assetnb-
ly, that he would grace this position,
the highest position in the Presbytery
and those who expected this were
never disappointed.
He visited many of the senates of
the church before and after his great
sorrow. He accepted without hesita-
tion the work that was outlined for
him and I am sure that he represent-
ed us worthily in the old land, and
his pastoral addresses in regard to
recruits for such ministrya the.church
might well lay to heart. Now it does
seem to us that from the time that
his beloved and capable partner was
taken away he had received his death
blow, from it we feel he did not re-
cover. This stricken servant of God,
who almost blindly, I was going to
sayacarried on his work, and the end
came with startling suddenness.
Little change need be made in that
Old Testament saying of St. Paul,
that he had fought the good fight,
had finished his course and hadkept
the faith.
They, were loving and pleasant in
!life and in death they were scarcely
I divided.
Let us who are left behind thank
God for the noble and rich heritage
of this man's life and his tritunphant
death.
I Thanks be to God who gaveth him
the victory and will give us victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
On Sunday Rev. T, D, McCulloch,
of Kincardine conducted memorial
services in. St. Andrew's Church in
honour .of their late pastor, Rev. D.
Petrie D.D. His addresses were deep-
ly impressive, and hie references to
the character and life work of Dr.
Perrie were a kindly tribute. The
choir added to the beauty of the ser-
vices with appropriate anthems,
Rev, Dr. A. J. McGillivray spoke
as follows:— .
The Presbyterian Church of Canada
confirms loss of its beloved and re-
vered moderator. This is the second
time in the short space of two yeers
that an official head and spokeeman
of our church has been cut down in
the midst of his official duties. To the
hundred and thousands of members
and adherents of our own church and
to many ethers. the news must have
coine as a painful shock. It was not'
known by the general public that Dr.
Perrie's health was impaired, even
those who were aware of it were
quite hopeful of ultimate recovery.
Only last Friday I wrote him a heartl
ening letter, believing that a return
to his important work wie a matter
of comparative short time: God has
willed otherwise, our strong and
noble representative has been taken
away.
To the church at large, to the sleep-
herdless flock that he has cared for
so long and to his children and re-
latives there is only one Comfort we
must all turn to, the 'Unchanging God,
the all wise and loving Father and
yet now there is a great cause for
Thanksgiving and we should indeed
raise our hearts in gratitude and
praise because such a life has been
lived among us; that in itself is cause
for happiness. That life would prob-
ably have radiated much farther
throughout the church, were it not
for his retiring disposition. While
we cannot say •that' he loathed pub-
licity we can at least.say that he nev-
er desired it and, I believe we could
truthfully say that he shunned it.
The greater things of life, his home
his study, his people, these were the
things that he loved and this was the
work width he loved but I fatcy that
to nye in the hearts of those whom
he loved tvat perhaps one of the deep-
est desires of this mates heart even
though he may not have expressed
it in words.
He was a man of umestial mental
power. I believe that we can say
without reservation that he was an
intellecttal giant, He certainly was
a man who coecentrated his povvers
to the preaching of the Evangel. His
work shop, that is to say, his stady,
he never aegleeted, and thd, pulpit
was his throne. No doubt he Is -teeth-
ed rawly, wonderful sermons from
this pulpit, sertnons that would prob-
ably compare favorably with the best
preachings in the Metropolitan put -

A NEW IDEA OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES SENIORS TRIM LUCK.,
NOW TEAM 3-0
Old man weather almost spoiled
the hockey tid.-bit of the season Wed-
nesday night, when he chose to send
along a mild spell, with a lot of rain.
While it softened the ice, and inter-
fered with fast playieg, it did not,
dampen the interest of the team's
supporters, who were out in the larg-
est numbers of the season, The six
hundred enthusiasts had. ample °Ivor-
tunity to give vent to their feelings,
for it was a distinctly home team
game. For some reason the Sepuys
lacked the dazzling speed and dash
that marked their initial appearance
here. On Wedneeday they failed itt
effective combination, and were slow
in action, At no thne in the game
had they any edge on the locals, al-
though twice McCoy winged his way
right through, only to loose a sure
tally by erratic shooting.
After about five minutes play, Ross
carried the puck past a couple of the
Lockno-w boys, paesed it to Harry
Terown who flipped it in for the first
counter, About a minute after the
second period opened a scramble in
front of the Lucknow goal gave Ken
Somers an opportunity to poke the
rubber in for the second score. About
ten minutes afterwards Andy Mitchell
wiggled his way through all the op-
position, passed to McIntyre who
scored.
In the final period, Ross tumbled
in the nets, carrying them down, but
he did not have the puck, hence no
goal. Wingham earned three minor
penalties in a row for holding, with
a stick, but even with the odd -man
advantage the visitors •were unable
to barely get past the blue line.
Winghain Band played throughout
the evening, much to the pleasure of
the crowd, who appreciated the ef-
forts of this organization.
BROUGHT TO WINGHAM CAN,AD1AN CLUB
R. W, E. Burnaby of Toronto, the
Trade Commissioner for the Maritime
Provinces, addressed Wingham Can-

people haven't an opportunity of get-

problerns together, to exchange each

are very liable to have misunderstan-
dings and prejudices.

gent of constituencies, play our full
part and make ourselves felt in the
Councils of the Nation? This can
