Dr. it Archos, as he. was eh has labored in this commun- - health 'and life to thousands who in have called for his help. And he with a skill and persistence that is uch a faithful profession as that of ® al kinds of weather, over all kinds of driven, day-and night, to reach the 8 patients.

This strain that finally exacted the great sacri- om Dr. Robert Archer. He should have york in a more leisurely fashion several But he could not give up.

He might have spared and If, but instead he spent his waning hout stint, and almost to the day of © was busy with the eternal battle' against se and death. Others received the care uld have given to himself. Dr. im Archer will ever be remembered as a surgeon of great skill, and the success of -his surgical work has been a matter of constant re- mark. Few of the smaller places such as Port Perry have been favored with a resident surgeon "of such unusual skill, and it will be a most difficult matter to replace him, bheeause men-of his-ealibre generally '20 to the larger centres. One phasé of a country doctor's life is seldom appresinted as it should be. In the city the doec- tor is a professional man, who may carry out his duties in a professional way. In the country the doctor's professional skill is taxed quite as much or even more than in the city, and he has to bear the extra burden which comes from knowing that his "friends" are ill. In thirty years the country doctor gomes to know and to feel for his patients as personal friends. Yet while the nervous and mental strain is great, the reward of these growing friendships i is great, too." No better evidence of this-can be given, than the .attendance of hundreds at the funeral service on Tuesday. The town hall park was crowded and the open air service was an im- 'pressive tribute to the departed citizen. The service was conducted by Rev. S. C, Jarrett, assisted by Rev. W. L. Atkinson, and interment was made in the family plot at Prince Albert. The service at the Town Hall Park was largely . attended, but brief, owing to the threatening rain. Rev, S. C. Jarrett paid this tribute to the late Dr. Archer. "Once again we are confronted with death--its universality and mystery. In spite of the know- ledge death must come, how human we all are ~in warding of the inevitable hour, and when it * does come, it is indeed a blow, for the conscious- ness of the tremendous loss that is ours. ~ That is our experience this afternoon. The sudden end of Dr. Robert Archer cast a gloom over the town of Port Perry and vicinity for we realize that we had lost not only a prominent eiti- zen but an indispensable one. It is not too much to say that nowhere in the Province of Ontario could you find 'a town of this side that possessed -a surgeon of so great ability such as we had in Port Perry. This great crowd reinforces my opinion. = You are here to render homage to one who unquestionably shortened his life in order to serve mankind, who rendered to his community as no other man has done, over thirty years of yeoman se without . stint, - favouring none, serving all alike irrespective of class or creed. The Lord Himself has said "Render to. all their dues, tribute to whom tribute", and that is what we are doing. The late doctor, who was never _. given to quoting texts or Jrerely to make a pro- fession, did he lived a life of service, and there are present who can voice the truth I have utte Foul hs tg nee then over the tombstone rcher this epitaph.

I believe that he symbolized the spirif of Canada at its best, that he possessed the heart of a lion, the spirit to en- dure, the will to make good, an indomitable will, a soul that could feel the genuine suffering and a passionate love for children. There was no man in the whole of Port Perry, that I had so pro- found an admiration and respect for as the late Dr. Archer, and it is as a friend that I speak. Furthermore, his life was a living example to any young man entering profession or life, who is anxious to make good, to aspire. His work was his life and whole existence. He was the em- bodiment of action and conscientous to the last degree. But were this all that could be said at * this service and to end there would be pitiful. This service and your presence speaks of an un- dying faith and belief in God and of the Resur- rection to everlasting life. I hope to meet my friend again in a land where suffering and parting are no more ; where pain cannot enter and no evil approach can touch the soul."
