GENERAL . on the Qist day of August, 1878, and now when God has taken his servant away, looking back over a pastorate of eighteen years with all the responsibilities and perplexities of a pastor’s life and remember- ing his infirmity ~Which all those years bore so heavily upon him. \Vhere less resolute wills than his would have given way. We must exclaim how faithful he has been, faithful in the enuuciation of the truth, and fearless in censuring wrong, a kind pastor jealous of the interests of his own beloved church and ever meeting these who differed with him in church polity with Christian liberality. The subject of this sketch with other attainments had a very thorough knowledge of music. He sang correctly and beauti- fully and this gift enabled him to lead the song of praise in the congregation when nccasion required, and with his remarkable vivacity- of character made it a joy to meet him in his own home, but we will not hear that voice again, nor again will h1s famil- iar form be seen on our streets but time will not efface his memory.

Dr. McRobbie, of Shelburne, assisted by other members of the Presbytery of which he was an honored member. The people turned out and filled the large church to the doors, aisles and gallery as well. Many came from a distance. The Sons of Scotland of which Rev. Mr. McLeod was an Honorary member turned out in a body to assist in the burial of their brother and pastor. The remains were interred in the village cemetery. REV. JOHN MUTCH. Rev. John Mutch, who has been for thirteen years pastor of Chaimer’s Presbyterian church, Toronto. died after a brief illness on Saturday morning last from apendieitis. His untimely departure is regarded as .a sad blow not only to the Presbyter- ianism but to Christianity at large. The World says :--"' As a pastor no minister in the city of churches was more devoted and beloved. He was practically the father of modern Presbyterianism in Parkdale and Brockton where he labored in build- ing up What has become one of the most successful churches of the Tor- onto Presbytery.” ln the memoria’: service on Sunday last the Rev. Dr. Cavan paid the deceased gentleman a very high tribute of praise. He said :â€"â€"-“ Mr. Mutch was a faithful, ardent and energetic servant of God. Of his thirteen years ~ministry is not necessary to Speak ; this congre- gation is his monument. Of his parishoners many have preceded-him into the heavenly h‘bme and you who are left are thinking Wistfnlly of the voice of the one you shall hear no more.” Mr. Mutch was born in Scotland Dec. 16th, 1852, and when only afew months old he came to Canada wit}; his parents who settled in the township. of Egremont. He ‘was educated at the Hamilton Coll. anumber of years taught school in that province.

We hoped again, and thought the Lord’s will might be to snare him, but alas! our home soon fade, his life succumbeda few min- utes after eight o’clock Tuesday evening. Mr. McLeod was born in 1843 in Strathalbyn, P. E- 1., and for It is with feelings of deepest- sorrow that we this week chronicle the death of the Rev.
