"There Is:a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on' to fortune," so wrote Shake- | speare, and so it is The difficulty Is sometimes to rec )gnize the psycho- logical moment when the tide is at the flood. For twenty years James Gordon lived on farm of two hundred acres Maple View, ten miles east of Kihgston, Ont. Mr. Gordon was an enthusiastic breeder | of Holstein cattle and one of the pest and most successful dairymen of the 'day. He also took a prominent part { in public affairs and was a generous | and hearty supporter of any scheme | for the welfare of his community, He served for a term as reeve of the | township of Pittsburgh, and alto- his own | gether served on the township coun- cil for a period of six years, and was | also a member of the county coun- cil of Frontenac. In scholastic af- fairs he showed the deepest interest, | and occupied the office of trustee on [ the school hoard for no less than i'twelve years. Nor was Mr. Gorden | behindhand In his interest in ecclesi- | astical affairs. A devoted merber of the Methodist church, he was for five years superintendent of the Sunday | school in Zion Methodist church, Pittsburgh, and for fifteen years a | member of tle trustee boayd of the same church. tor of the cheese factory in Pitts- burgh for ten years. Early in life Mr. Gordon married | the eldest daughter of the late Robt. Shannon, a man well-known in | Kingston district as one of the larg- | est breeders of pure-bred Holstein | cattle. Mrs. Gordon proved a help- | mate, indeed, and to her influence | and assistance Mr. Gordo. attributes his present position; their home re- lations have been singularly happy, | their union has been blessed with a family of four sons and one daugh- | ter...
