Mr. Armstrong’s history on his and Mrs. Armstrong’s {visit to the old land across the ocean :and no doubt it was interesting to them to be again reminded of the old scen- ery of past gone years. If Mr. Arm- strong visited the Highlands of Scot- land and came to that old island call- ed “Mull” he would have seen where my father and mother and many of my old relatives came from and spent their happy days.

Mr. McCarten’s old parishioners and others were pleas- ed to hear him preach in St. Columba church yesterday.

I could place the old site where once, a small boy of 7 or 8 years old, I got my first lesson in the old-fashioned style of the teachers of that far away date. No Saturday holi- days then. Every Saturday was school dayaswellastherest of the week. Although young in years I always kept at the headcfmyclassofBorlOpu- pils. A chapter in the New Testament was read. I remember reading when it read that Jesus wept, and casually this verse fell on me. The teacher didnotexplaintoanyintheclasswhy Jesus wept, but was only read as a for- mality like any other history.

But the good old preacher was not. a selfish one, .. al- though a good Baptist. The good ser- ‘ vant of long ago often walked to Pro- ton when all was bush to perform the marriage rites of some of the new set- tlers. On one occasion when getting footsore and hungry by walking over rough corduroy roads, he called at a new settler’s home on the Glenelg side. The good mother was after tak- ing off a big pot of potatoes and trying to hide them from the keen eye of the good traveller. But noticing them he said in a calm manner, “Will you please give me some of those pota- toes.” The good mother, not grudgâ€" 1 ingb', but on account -of. the simple fare for the family, thought not good enough for the weary traveler, but placing a large plateful and probably a cup of milk on the old-fashioned table, the good preacher asked the blessing, and after partaking thanked the good mother for her kindness, say- ing it was the best meal he enjoyed for a long time.

It is not often' nor easily that such a man is found in whom the sterling qualities of character and ability blend with humility and gentleness. His ha- bits were simple and well regulated. He was h‘onest in his thinking, frank and open in his dealings with his fel- lows, and generous in his interest in every good cause. His warm heart had a kindly thought and his open hand a generous gift for every case of need that came to his attention. He was worthy of a large place in public es- teem which he held in his place of residence. Our friend was born in Canada.
