By Gregory Clark in Toronto Stor Weekly. Thomas Yellowlees, hospital vîsitor for tlýe Presbyterian Church la Tor- onto, is a man who neyer grows old, for he has found the secret of eternal youth in the sunshine he brings into other people's lives. "You neyer can get old la that kind of work", he declares himself, "because you enjoy As the years go he ehould be an old man. H1e enters bis seventy- ninth on the the last day of January. Yet his cheery smile and his, alert brisk manner chop nearly twenty years off and make hlmi seem a young- ster of sixty. 11e came to Canada la 1857, ten years before C onfederation. Last year he went back to Scotland for the first time la 63 years and visited his native Berwickshire. 11e lectured on the subject of temperance la his boyhood church at Kirk Hill, and at the end said to the congregation: "Sixty-three years ago 1 left here as a boy. If anyone here remembers my father and mother I will be glad if they stop after the meeting and speak to me". Not a soul stayed! Sixty-three years-it is a long tîme. 11e later visited an old blacksmith who, he was told, might have known his parents. But no! "I have only been here 57 years", he explained. It was a littie pathetic for Mr, Yellowlees, this visit to, a Scottish home that could not span the years and remember him and his f olk, but even that failed to make hlm f eel old. After being la Bowmanville la business for 25 years Mr. Yellowlees devoted ail his energies to doing good A layman, yet he has been one of the outstanding figures of the Preshyter- ian Church in Ontario. He was ten years one of the secretaries of the Ontario Sunday School Association, and as such organized a house-to- bouse visit in every town in the pro- vince. H1e bas been f or years a chaplain of the Department of the Stranger of the Preshyterian Church, conveying a word of cheer and a welcome to thousands of immigrants. During the recent prohibition cam- paign Mr. Yellowlees drove 25 miles one Sunday and addressed three meetings for the Dominion Alliance. H1e did not feel tired. For with hlm the flesb still marches with the spirit. age, he undertook this new task of visiting the hospitals. His two main charges are St. Michael's Hos- pital and the Western Sanitorium, but he also visits Lyndhurst, the Victoria Memorial, the Hlospital for Incurables, the Hillcrest Home, and the Aged Woman's Home on Bel- men seem to have no home; they just go drifting along; they are knocked out and find themselves ia hospital. Then along comes Mr. Y1ellowlees with his smile and his cheerful speech. t must bring back the memory of home and the beautiful things of youth to many a man battered by lif e. He does not necessarily talk re- ligion to them. H1e may chat about anything that interests them. But hie often prays, perhaps the first prayer many a'dying man has heard in a score or more of years. Very rarely does he find anyone objecting to a visit. Mose people are lonely and hungry for sympathy. "llow do you stand so much sad- ness -and stay cheerful'?" Mr. Yel- lowlees was asked. "Simply because I have to steel myseif against it", he replied simply. "There is no room for sadness in this work". "It's the little things", he reiterat- ed, "which some of us think flot worth considering that are the most worth while in if e. A litie sym- pathy often heals a broken heart". Out of his experience has come a wide, broad conception of religion and a great depth of understa nding. "Ail I want is a lot of tobacco", a friendless dying man once told hlm. "I have neyer used tobaco in my life", declared Mr. Yellowlees, "but I made up my mind he was going to get his". And the poor f ellow's closing days were brightened> by his little gif t. "I am not strait-laced", Mr. Yel- lowlees added. "I believe in people enjoying themselves and getting all the pleasure in if e possible. But at the same time they should not for- get the main -thîng by spending too much time on pleasure. "The churches of Toronto were neyer better attended than they are to-day. 0f «course the War was disurbing in many ways. But there is no need to be pesimistic about the resuit on morals. We have got to be sympathetîc and not condemn". Toronto Star Weekly.
