42 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, March 4, 1953: ASHBURN Ashburn Congregation Honors Memory of Beloved Pastor MRS. WES. ROUTLEY Correspondent ASHBURN -- A special memor- ial service was held in. Burns' Presbyterian Church on Sunday, February 22, at 11 a.m., in honor of the late Rev. J. Riddell. Rev. McGowan of Uxbridge, interim moderator of the Lindsay Presby- tery, was in charge of the serv- ice and read the following mes- sage of kindness: "The Rev. John Riddell was born in Chatham some 60 years ago, He received his elementary and High School education there 'and on the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in the Canadian Army and was attached for over- seas duty with an artillery unit. He served his country well for the entire four years of the war and on his discharge and return to Canada, he resumed his studie$ at | him Toronto University. Some of his friends urged him to study en- gineering, a profession for which seemed to have a natural bent, but at some time Mr. Riddell had * heard a call to the Christian Min- istry and set his course in this direction. He studied theology at Knox College and graduated in 1926. He was ordained and induct- ed to the pastoral charges of Centreville and Milbrook, by the Presbytery of Peterborough and served this charge for five years. He then was called to St. Mary's where he preached for seven years. Following this he was called to Milton, where he served for eight and one-half years. "During his ministry there, be- cause he himself could not, actively serve in the armed forces, he did the work of another minister so that he could be relieved for serv- ice. In 1946 he was called to this charge and began his ministry on the first Sunday of 1947. "He had apparently been in ex- cellent health, but on February 5, at just a few minutes before mid- night, he passed away very sud- demly, "Mr, Riddell's « first and main interest was his work, the work of the church and nothing took precedence over this. He loved to preach and he did it in such a way that his hearers seemed to feel that they were nearer to the Almighty than ever was before pos- sible; he couls make the Chris- tian Religion such a personal mat- ter. Next to his work it might be said, his interest was people; he loved people and they loved him with a genuine affection because he never seemed too busy to speak or to listen to them; and Hoe only had this tribute been paid by his own congregation, but ny of his church have = to know that in our pas they could find a friend when one was most needed. "And so one could go on; but it was the very nature of this man whom we knew and loved, that he would want no such eulogy. "We were saddened by his loss, but his Master must have been satisfied that his work was done here and that he was prepared to lay down the tools with which he worked so~ well." A letter of thanks was read from Mrs. Riddell and Mary Jean in appreciation of the many ex- pressions of sympathy sent from the members of the congregation and for flowers from the congre- gation and Young People's So- The choir sang, "The Lord is My Shepherd". Rev. McGowan - introduced the SALLY'S SALLIES guest speaker, Rev. Dr. Stanley Glenn, principal of Knox College and for maby years & friend of the late Mr. Riddell. Rev. Dr. Bi delivered an im- pressive message chosing for his text, Romans 8, verse 28: 'And we know that all things work to- gether for good to them that love God, to them who are called ac- , | cordingly to His purpose'. He em- phasized the fact that a Christian is one who has Easter in his heart and that was the type of Christian our departed pastor was. MISSIONARY SUNDAY Missionary Sunday was observ- ed in the Sunday School of Burns' church on Sunday, March 1. Ronald Johnston told an interesting story entitled, "The Dark Horse", The offering amounted to $13.95 and $4.50 in the birthday fund.

During the service, Eliza~ beth Deming sang, "I Walked With Jesus", YPS MEETING : The regular weekly meeting of the YPS was held in the basement of the church on Sunday, March 1, at 8 p.m., with a good attendance.

Rural Wolves Really Dogs Living Wild TORONTO (CP)--Many of the animals Southern Ontario residents call brush wolves have a strong canine strain, says Dr. C. Clarke, supervisor of wildlife man- ment of lands and forests He says that ever since brush wolves entered the province from southern Michigan about 30 years ago they've been breeding with farm dogs. It was most common during the 1920s when the wolves were spreading through bushlands near farm settlements. Male dogs mate with female wolves almost all shades of grey and brown. They grow up in the forest and learn to hunt rabbits, mice, deer and the occasional sheep. They are shy of men, usu- ally -hunting in groups of two or three and running away when ap- proached. SEEN NEAR CITY They come close to densely-pop- ulated centres with forest cover nearby. Last year brush wolves were seen in Scarborough about three miles from Toronto's city limits and Dr. Clarke says the probably live there all year roun The brush wolf is usuall smal ler than the timber wolf, nor- thern cousin. A big brush wolf weighs 70 pounds while timber wolves--especially in the Sault Ste, Marie and Rainy River sections of the province--may run as high as 110 pounds. Deer are increasing in Southern Ontario but brush wolves don't seem to be jnereasing y "Te wolves don't feed on deer too much," Dr, Clarke said. "Prob- ably they're too hard to catch." Timber wolves are sometimes Bruce peninsula and northern parts | of Simcoe and Peterborough coun- ties.
