‘Msing rates on spplication. ‘Through the later years of his life‘s eventide his interests in public affairs never flagged, never failed. Green in my memory Will always be that comfortable living room in his home where he and his devoted helpmate, Mrs. Charters, welcomed their friends and joined in the usual banter, humorous repartee and delightful @©ompanionship which characterized the Charters home through the years during which I was privileged to enter it without at the door. _ Samuel Charters‘ life is a challenge to us all. The footprints iA left in the sands of time, through his private and public and through his printed word, show us all very clearly is something more worthy than riches in a life well lived. BWw laymen had a greater mastery of the scriptures than he, losing words on the passing of this one of nature‘s Two Houses of Parliament were enriched by his presence and bettered by his sterling example. It was no light or unearned <bmpliment which an important figure in Canadian public life once tendered him when he said: "Sam‘s at home with Bishops and Deacons equally as he is at home in the company of Members of Parliament." It was on a cool September night in 1925 that he first called wpon the writer to address a public meeting. From that night on he was my poltiical godfather, my wise counsellor, and my devoted friend. When my father died he took my father‘s place. Little Wender is it then that I said at the beginning of these rambling Hnes that 1 found it hard to write. Samuel Charters was a sportsman and a good one at that. The clean game he played on the lacrosse grounds of yesteryear, he carried through life after he had laid down his stick. The courage he developed on the field sustained him through his first two political defeats and enabled him to persevere until he had tasted the first of a lengthy and imposing succession of victories at the @olls.. The length of his service in the public life of his county, province and country constitute a record rarely equalled. °_ His loyalty and devotion‘to those three great branches of societyâ€"the home, the church and the Stateâ€"may well be ghe envy of all. He saw two Great Wars, with all their tragedy, suffering and sorrow, strike this world. In the first War he saw two of his sons im service and lived long enough to see in the Second Great War ® son and a sonâ€"inâ€"law on active service, and two grandsons as well. He lived barely long enough, too, to see one of those grandsons awarded, for heroism and bravery, the Distinguished Flying Medal.« From failing hands the torch was thrownâ€"the torch was caught and carried high. Samuel Charters is dead, but his good works will live on. What greater tribute can be given! As one reaches back into yesterday to choose an outstanding characteristic or two of Peel‘s exâ€"parliaâ€" mentarian, his simple Christian faith and the purity and generosity of his private and public life quickly flash to one‘s mind. (A Contributed Editorial by Gordon Graydon, M.P.) I find it hard to write these lines. The reason will be obvious for they concern one whose precept, example and help have been major factors in moulding and shaping my own career. __ My experience was duplicated by scores of others throughout the years. An apprenticeship of four years or more in a country printing office has always been pegarded as a liberal education and a sound basic training, © Graduates of The Conservator went out into the world well equipped on many lines and did credit to their "alma mater" by the service they rendered in various fields of activity. They learned from their "boss" who became their friend, the value of the simple virtues of hard work, clean living, frank and squaré dealing. These things made up his unwavering faith, on theth he built and by his example he inspired industry, loyalty and devotion. His interest in those who worked for him continued long after they had gone to other spheres and there was a mutual happiness in the recurring "visits" which the years made possible. p It is scarcely necessary to say that those of us who worked with him in the days of smaller things when a staff of five or six made up the total roll call, watched with interest and pride the growth and expansion to the fine modern plant and large staff of today.. Similarily we took pride in his public activities and the large measure of confidence and favor he enjoyed over such a long period of years. Success in business and success in public life do not always go handâ€"inâ€"hand. But to him success was no accident, mo bit of luck. It followed sound planning, patient application, and much hard work, supplemented to his great joy in later years by the assistance of his capable sons. Though he "walked with kings" and enjoyed the confidence of those in high places, he remained unspoiled. His interest in those he worked with, in those around him, in the home things and people, continued the dominatâ€" ing interest of his life; He remained the kindly Christian gentleman. (Contributed by W. B. Roadhouse, a former employee, now resident in the city of Toronto) When the end comes, as come it must to all men, no finer tribute can be paid than that he was most respected by those who knew him best. . * So those of us who worked with him in the distant or immediate past, pay our last tribute to one we knew so well and respected so highly. <A life so helpful to so many may well be an inspiration to all. God gives us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, irent hearts, true faith and ready hands, Men whom the lust of office, does not kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy. Men who gossess opinions and a will. Men who have honor, men who will not lie Men who can stand before a demagogue And scorn his treacherous, flatteries, without winking, Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog * In public duty and in private thinking For while the rabble with their thumbâ€"worn creeds Their loud profession and their little deeds. Mingle in seifish strife, lo! freedom weeps. Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps. .Such a tribute is but simple justice to the memory of Samuel Charters from those who worked with him and for him throughout the many years of his long and sygcenful business career. It is 45 years or more since Mr. Charters gave me a "job" as "earrier boy" twice a week. A little later I entered on the fullâ€" time job of "printer‘s devil", continuing for the next five or six years in all the various phases of work which go to make & good country weekly and the operation of a job printing plant. . With enduring gratitude I recall the sympathetic interest and kindly encouragement of my first "boss" which has meant so much throughout all the succeeding years. id _ TIMES & GUIDE A Tribute to "The Boss" ] space at the rate)."

That Presence cannot be explained but must be felt betore it can be appreciated, and He was truly in our midst for, through the power of his Spirit, we were conscious of Him.

When he got to shore Peter saw a fire buyning, this remindea him of the time ne had warmed his hanas wnen he denied Christ. Then finally the_ Lord probed very deeply .into Peter‘s neart, when he questioned his love for Him three successive times. He first asked him if he had an intense love for Him. Peter‘s reply was that he had & regard for Him. Then the Lord toid him to pasture His sheep. He questioned his love for Him a second time with the same answer, and the Lord told Peter to shepherd His sheep; this involved his looking after the sheep in every phase of their existence. Finally the Lord comes down to Peter‘s language, and asked him if he regarded Him, and this broke Peter‘s heart, and he cried "Lord Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee". The Lord commissioned him to feed His sheep, as if they were babies, to lead the food into their mouths.
