GEORGE McGILL MARGH 6TH, 1911, BY REV. B. H. HAYDEN, M. A., 0F LONDON, ONT., FORMER PASTOR 0F THE DE- CEASED IN BOWMANVILLE FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS Could I but gather up the thoughts, feelings, estimates and appreciations of al before me concerning him wxbise earthly career is now ended and suitably voice them, il would be quite enouLgh- for this occasion; and yet this sletit face of hlm whose shrinking from persoilal praise vie s0 vieli knew would bid cauïtion in Our utterances. In the viords of Wbittier would hie say if permîttecd: "0 living friends viho love me, Careless of other famne, I leave to Fou my namne; Save it from idie oraisesl And yet ail modesty a fair degree of freedom may be indniged and will be ex- pected in speaking of sncb a man as George McGill in the communiitv vihere hie lived so helpfully and ýv'eil for over hait a ceptury. The text most fitting ouf departed1 brother is Rev 4: 13 1I beard a voice from heaven saying un,-- me, Write, Blessed are the dead viho dic in the Lord lrom hencefortb; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest trom their labors; and ti,ýeir works do follow.themi." These viords of a voice fromi the otherj side give assurance of vihat is most com- forting-the conscious and ap state of our lovýed ones. t is also aideclaration that only. the religious lite of à man is that ,,ihic!1b counts andhlas consideration in the final estimate. -As Carlyle says: "A maisreligioný is the chief --, id determin- ing thing about Min, that -vlich lbe really believes, by which hie lives, 'batt takes deep hold -upon him." t is such beiîet and consciousness of God that become character-formîng forces, anid character fixés destiny. A Christian cha-ýracter isthe joint proçluct of naturead nurture. t is the prboduct otfbirth and re-birth, plus the culture self imposed and the- disciplines of life under a recogn[ized Divine Provi- dence; and tbis product is the parisonality to which vie becomne attached, by which we are infiuenced, and in thie absence of which we experience such a painful sense of loss. Bro. McGill vias vieil born. The Greeks had an expressive termn for this. He vias well endowed phyisically, mentally and morally, both as, to possessio-,ti and tenden- cy. He had a marked (lpersonality and dignity of bearing thýat sîingled him out on crowded street or iin. socil cÎircle. Yet be viýas a man most approachiable, and bis warmn hand-clasp wnd gei sile put one at ease at once. T'h1ere zurany good men vilîn vhom it ïis notc ofrtbl live, but hie was flot of thiat class of good men. He was schooled in thefine art ot maintaining integity and at the. samne time of avoiding friction in bis intercourse viith men. The beatitude of the peace- maker was upon bim as truly as the "blessed" 0f our text. He was a living witness to the tact that superior strength of manhood and character are best sliown in gentleness, andl that the Christian gen- tleman is the divinely possessed and self possessed man. 0f bis business caneer in this commun- ity as manager of the Ontario Bank for forty years, and in other capacities, it is not necessary for mie to speak. Ini these respects lie was vieil known, and being vieli known was honored and trusted to a degree that falîs to the lot, of very fevi in such relationships. In bis Christian characten and lite bei realized and exemplified as fevi men do the statement of Paix]: "Ye are flot your own, ye are bought with a price," and that if bie vas flot bis ovin then whatever vias' in bis possession as property was stili less "bhis own," but thal wbich "fe should use as a "steward," and as would best please the owner of ail. Hence heo was not only faithful in living but liberal in the use of money for the church, for charîties and al commendable purposes. More than once did hie request me to tell hlm bhoy mucb hie sbould give to certain objects and ai-] viays gave beyond vihat 1 viould venture to suggest. As "Christ ioved the Church anid gave Himself for it,", so lie shovied bis Cbristlikeness in loving the Cburch and in giving himself and bis means 10 it and for it. Very seldom was lie absent from a Sunday or midi-week service, and if ah- sent you were quite sure he vias iii or out of tovin. He viaived business 10 keep bis appoîntment witi the Lord at prayer meeting, and bis fervent spirit, talks and pravers viere a real quickening to aIl our hearts. Bro. McGill also realized and1 exempli. fied as 100 few men do that we are in this world nol merely t6 make mnoney, or so much to make a living even, as 10 make a* life; thal the life must be made while making the living and flot put off till some 1remoter day, and'Ihal ,a man's life consist- eth not in the abundance of thýe things lie maypossess. Frorn the sunset shore of our Continent the sirit ot our dear brother went out on POWERS THE CIIOICE. WES'T DURHAM LiBERALS HEAR HON. A. G. MCKAY AND MR. SAM CLARKE, M.P.P. Judging by the splendid convention and public meeting that followed in the Opera House Saturday afternoon Liberal stock in West Durham bas taken-on a sudden soaning tendency. Lt was one of the oid- lime Liberal jubilees when everythîng was loveiy in this riding. Poliing suib- divisions viene veIl repnesented and a liv- ely intenest was taken in the choice ot a candidate to bear the Libenal banner to victory at the next Provincial election. Mn. J. J. Smith, President West Durham Liberal Association, was in the chair. Mn. W. R. Allin, Secretany, had every- tbing in apple-pie order for business. Lt was decided to mnake open nominations for a candidate, and the following gentle- men viere nominated: Messrs. A. A. Powers, Orono; W. j. Bragg, Winî. Canîîi, Releve M. A. James, Bovimanvilie; Thos. Baker, Solina; W. Rickard, ex-M.P.P., Newicastle; J, J. Smith, President, Enniskillen; Albert E. Clemens. ex-President, Tyrone; Eber Milîson, Reeve ot Dariington, Mount Vernon; A. B.- Cryderman, _Blackstock; Richard Pbilp, CadmIus. Reeve Poviers was elected on the first ballotn, and atter consultation îvith bis friends accepted nomination in a short speech. The public meeting was beld immed- iately viitb Pres. J. J. Smith presiding. Mn. Sam Clarke, M.P.P., Cobourg,, was introduced and given a splendiîdvielcome, this being bis native riding. He spoke for ha 'It an hour, and in bis forcetul style ne- viewed the histony of the Whitney Gov- ennment, telling boy it bas doubied ex- penditure, dismissed license inspectons, Justices of the Peace, and issuens of mar- niage licenses,ý putting partisans in thein places. He accused Premier Whitney of making favorable conditions for tbe brevi- ens, distillens and the liquor trade gener- ally, by introducing, in spIte of the strong protests ot the temperance advocates, the tbree-fiftbs clause in local, option contests, and condemned in stnong language the action of the Government ini forcing the people of this Province 10 become pantners in the retail liquor business. He declared vebemently "we don't viant 10 go into the liquor business", and the audience applaud- ed enthusiastically. Referning 10 thetariff controversy, in-~ troduced mbt the Local Legislature by Mn. Whitney, he bold the farmens tbey bad borne patiently and uncomplaingly viith tariff conditions for the henefit, of manufactuneis, and now that a reciprocity pact is proposied, the manutacturers and their allies are doing everything possible to deprive the farmers of a 'manket. witb oven iuety milliohis of consumens ot nat- unalprodcîs.Heý saici tbey are raising the loyalty cry,, bat biisobevtn had been that thé wealtbier som1e men bcm the easier il is for tbem 10, change. their politics for gain. i commendable con- trast the stundy Durham county farmers cannot turn thein political coat so easily. Lndeed il ils very rarely that a farmer wiii change bis politics. Pnior ta 1878 the manutactunens vere compared 10 vieak calves, but the National Policy bas en- abied lhem. 10 become stnong bulis, that are now trying 10 bunt tbe farmers be- cause tbey are seeking more favorable trade conditions for tbe products of the fanm, orchard, dairy and meadovi. What man in Canada bas bad a better oppor- tunity, he asked, to ascertain the farmens' needs than Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who last summer tnavelled from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific 10 meet ail classes of electors and leann conditions, and discuss on the ground trade and other pnoblems. Mn. Clarke boped the lime bad not yet arrived xvben comparatively fevi men in tbe big chties, not ten per cent of the people, shall cause Binety per cent ta submit 10 their demands. He counselled farmers ta stand paltfon their rights and for fair play. He con- tnasted the bardsbips of the wonkmen in the factories witb their-pnotected employ- ens, vibo spend montbs of thxe year travey ling, or at the seasîde or other pleastire resorts. "Believe me", be said, "factory employees are biggen slaves than you farmers, for tbey must work every dgy of the yean, and vou have your leisure sensons and aIl the year round your stock con- tinues to grow and increase in value. When the viorking man stops hie pay stops." He prophesied that in a. fevi years with treer trade there would be lwenly boats-crossing Lake Ontanid, from Canada vihene one plied nov. "Ta the winds viitb the moneyed men's 1oalty cry. Lt is their blooming pockelst.k'ey are thinking of." The audience roar~e viith laughter. Hon. A. G. MacKay neceived a' rousing greeting and veritably electrified bis aud- ience by bis canvincing oratory.

McGILL, We direct attention of our readers to the tribute paid to the late Geo. McGill by bis former pastor, which we publish this week. We knew deceased intimately for nearly 30 years and heartily endorse the complimentary things said of him at bis funeral service here:- The Livermore (Cal.) Herald. gives these particulars in a nice obituary: "Ge orge McGili was stricken with apo- plexy at the home 'of his son, Dr. H. G. McGill. He improved atter a few days and it -%as hoped he would recover, but bis condition underwent a change and he passed away Tuesday morning. Funeral services were held at the family home Tbursday atternoon and were well attended. Service was conducted by Rev. W. J. Clifford of the, Presbyterian church. Favorite hymns of deceased were sung by a quartette-Mrs. W. J. Clifford, Misses Carnïe Wente and Helen Wineguar and E. W. D'Ombrain. Fridyy morning the remains were start- eon their long journey to Bowmanvifle, Ontario, where they will be laid to rest in the family plot in the cemetery there. Dr. H. G. MeGili, wife and little dauglbter Adelaide accompanied the remains. They xiii be absent about four weeks. Deceased had been a resident of- Liver- more about two and a haif years, where he enjoyed better health than for many years., He became fond of outdoor lite and especially of automobiling, and to this was due bis improvement, as he had up to bis retirement followed- the confin- ing occupation of banking. He knew and loved the Livermore Valley better than many who were born and reared within its borders. Livermore neyer bad a more ardent champion than this gentle man, who left the traditions ofa lifetime in a conservatîve calling to meet new condi- tions in a comparatively new country, and hie thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Many learned to love the man who had a kind word for the community and every- one in it, and general regret was expressed over bis passing. Deceased was a native of Canada, aged 77 years, i0 months. He lefI two sons- Dr. H. G. McGi1l of Livermore, Dr. A. B. McGiIl of San-Francisco-and one daugh- ten Mrs. A. S. Vogt of Toronto, Ont."_ Rev. W. P. Rogers, B.
