ImelflayeslilledlnAeddent Tragedy stalked in the Riverview district Friday last when Russell, 14- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Hayes was killed when run over by a wagon. With his father he was driving on the 7th line of Melancthon to River- view, the wagon containing a few bags of chop and a sheep. n about three miles from home an at the edge of Riverview they met with Mr. John Gray, grandfather of the boy. The father was holding the sheep and as Mr. Gray approached, the sheep at- tempted to break free. The scuffle frightened the horses which gave a lurch forward and the son, Russell, fell in front of the wagon, the front wheel passing over his head and the hind wheel over his chest. He was dead when picked up. -- 1â€"- LI.- " IOU-Q râ€"vâ€"v â€"' Russell, who was the only son in the family, was a big boy for his age and was already taking a man’t place on the farm. He attended the Oldfield school. He was also a member of the Sunday school of Riverview United church. His death occurring in the very flower of his youth, is a severe blow to his parents and all who knew him.-â€"Dunda1k Herald.

He would not let them carry him. walking with aid up to the home of Mr. Fred Pound where his wounds were washed and ex- amined.

REV ROAcu STRATON GOES TO HIS HEAVENLY REWARD Rev. John Roach Straton. who died recently in New York, was one of the best known clergyman on this contin- ent. His fame had spread far beyond‘ his own Baptist pulpit in New York city and extended even to foreign lands. We have heard him mentioned fre- quently in Canada. He was one of the staunchest fundamentalists living. but the kind of fundamentalist who could not help providing a lot of amusement for those who did not take his‘ own views of Holy Writ. He also belonged to that band of clergy, by no .means exclusively fundamentalist, who loved second only to the Book of God, the front page of the newspaper. There he romped and revelled oftener, per- haps, than any clergyman of his day. He was always “starting something”; most of the things he started he was unable to finish. He was always mak- ing a sensational observation far more sensational indeed than his modernist critics were able to accomplish. It came about, therefore that everybody heard of him. That was his chief aim. What his record was of leading souls to Christ we are unable to say. Opposed Smith For several months before his death at the age of 54 his health had kept him in retirement, but last November against Governor Smith. He declared that Smith’s record proved that he had been “consistently, unwaveringly and enthusiastically against righteous re- form.” He made this statement from his pulpit much to the scandal of some of his parishioners. Smith challenged him to a public debate and asked the -1. _-_- A number of young boys had spent the morning shooting in the woods east of Brighton and were returning home when the accident occurred.

Dr. Straton was in the public eye was some time after he had bought a hotel and 200 acres of land _at Greenwood into a summer religious colony rum Ocean Grove, NJ. An inquiring re- porter visited the place and returning proclaimed in his newspaper that he had bought liquor there. The Skyscraper Church The Rev. Roach furiously denied the charge and said in language that might have aroused the envy of the late Elijah 1Dowie that the charge was inspired by the whisky interests. Some time later the hotel burned down and the project was abandoned.

He had not been long in New York before he found a way to make the newspapers report his sermons. He began to attack vice. He called the stage the devil’s church. He made frequent use of the word “sexitis” and denounced financial magnates as descendants of the robber barons of the feudal ages. Some of his congregation became restive under his sensational- ism, but those who dropped out were replaced by others . Crowd flocked to hear him, and the finances of the church improved. The deacons were loath to interfer with a man who was making the church so conspicuous and Dr. Straton was certainly a man whom the average deacon would be loath to clash with. Indiana and held pastorates in Chicago, Baltimore and Norfolk, Va., before go- ing to New York. His theological ideas always seemed particularly southern to his critics, for he was in particular the downright toe of evolution. He rushed to the assis Iince of Bryan at the time of the Scopes trial and after it was over he proposed that in honor of the celebrated commoner a great fundaâ€" mentalist university should be set up in Washington. Neve1 theless the revered Robert Stuart MacArthur, pastor of the church for 41 years, withdrew from his position -v- -â€" “v“ ""' as pastor emeritus because of the antics of Straton. He attended the Dempsey-Carpentier fight and gave a scathing criticism of it from his pulpit. The most serious charge brought against him from a religious point of view was that he had encouraged “pentecostalism”, an extreme emotional form of worship. The pastor denied this but declared, nevertheless, that one of his sons, Warren, had been “struck down by the power of God" and “sang in an unknown tongue”.
