All ministers and Elders were present. A review of the year's work showed fine progress. There was a whole- some increase in membership, and the total contributions were over five thousand dollars in excess •of the pre- vious year. A feature of interest was the con- ference held at the close of the meet- ing on the 'deepening of spiritual life.' Rev, T. D. McCullogh was appoint- ed interim Moderator of Session of St. Andrew's Church, Wingham. The following is a copy of the re- solution adopted by Presbytery re- garding the death of Right Reverend David Perrier, D,D., Modetator of the General Assembly That this Presbytery records its profound sorrow in the removal by death of Right Reverend David Per- rie, D.D., at his home in Wingham on February eleventh, 1930. Dr. Per- rie had served with distinction in the Ministry of our Church for over forty years, thirty-six of which service was rendered in St. Andrew's Church, Wingham and in this Presbytery. Dr. Perrie was a minister of wide reading, profound scholarship and deep piety, His preaching rang true to the essentials of the faith and testi- fied that he always stood in the pre- sence of the personal Christ, while his contact with his people was kind- ly, sympathetic and helpful. He was a man of strong convictions and of high courage in stating and defending them. During the disruptive period in our Church's history he gave him- self unstietedly by voice and pen to the defence of Presbyterian doctrine and principles; and his power in de bate was shown by the large. major ities adhering to the Church in thi Presbytery and in many congrega tions where his voice was heard pleading' for the continuance of the Church he loved. Of a modest and retiring disposi- tion, it may be truly said of Dr. Per- rie, that he never sought honor or preferment, yet he was on several oc- casions Moderator of this Presbytery, Moderator of Synod in the year 1927- 28, and, at the General Assembly last year in Ottawa, he was elected to the Moderatorship, the highest honor and responsibility in the gift of the Church. • His sudden cutting off in the midst of his year of apostolic moderator- ship is a severe blow to our beloved Church throughout the Dominion, and calls for humble submission to the will of the Great King and Head of the Church. This Court unites with the whole Church in paying loving tribute to t}ie memory of such a distinguished leader and feels that such a memory will long remain to all who knew him as an inspiration to more devoted ser- vice. We extend to the Congregation of St. Andrew's Church, Wingl:am, andto the Town of Wingham, our sincere sympathy in the loss of such a minister and citizen; and for the son and daughters we pray the Div- ine consolation and very present help of Him Who never fails to comfort those who lean upon Him in their sorrow and bereavement. The next meeting of Presbytery will be held in Whitechurch on Tues- day, May 13th. s s OBITUARY John McCool The funeral of the late John Mc- Cool, a life-long resident of this dis, trice, was held from the family resi- dence, John Street, on. Friday after- noon. The services which were con- ducted by the Rev. Sidney Davison, pastor cif the 4Vinglrarn United church of which the deceased had been a de- voted member, were largely attended try numerous friends and relatives, i'he deceased was in his 75th year, being born near Ancaster on July 24th, 1855, and when a young lad moved with his parents to Zetland where he resided until after his mar- riage in 1885 to Mary Ann Hopper, who survives hint.
