NOVEMBER 28th. 1935 "I FoIlow a Famous Father" Editar's Note-The follawing verses by Edgar A. Guest are particularhy expressive of aur thoughts at this time: I fallow a famous father, His honor is mine te wear: He gave me a name that was free f ram shame, A name he was praud ta bear. He lived in the marning sunlight, And marched in the ranks of right. He was always true ta the best he knew. And the shiehd that he ware was bright. I falaow a famous father, And neyer a day goes by, But I feel that he lookcs dawn ta me sadness of his passing that the fountain of Uis success in if e was bis earnestness as a Christian and a gentleman. The source. of his capabilities could hav-e come f ram nowhere else than the gift of an ail seeing divinity. This final parting ef the earthly ways leaves us wvith but ane resolv*e. that we carry on the high standard, and fine traditions he adbered ta. that we take from bis if e ail the fine tbings which made hini respected in the cornmunity, and carry them forward in The Statesman and in the com- munity as a memorial ta a man wha> loved them bath very greatly. The Life of Mr. M. A. James (Taronto Daîly Star) A man who linked this generatian to the early histary of Ontario and wbo did much mare than his share in molding the character of the prov- ince in il.s mast impressianable period. passeci away yesterday in the persan of Mr. M. A. James o! Bowmanville. For more than fifty years he was chief editor of the Canadian Statesman. a well-manageij weelcly that absocbed eight other local papers in the Bawmanville district. Prev- iausly he bad been a public schaal teacher and principal for ten years. Before that. again, lie had warked on a farm. after coming from Devon. England, where he was born. He iived ta see his 86th year and bis death beceaves a large family circle and brings a feeling of regret ta thousands of Canadians wbo knew bis sterling worth.
