You‘ll be turned black as sin in the The following was given by Alex. McMillan at the close of part in the debate : The judges were Miss Alice Ramâ€" age, Miss Davidson and Mr Harold McKechnie, who decided in favor of the negative. A duet by the Misses West, solo by Eric Sharpe and a reading by Miss Thorne was contrib uted by Holstein talent, while Rev. Mr West after a few humorous jokes gave a talk on ‘Unity.‘ He closed by moving a hearty vote of thanks to the Baptist Young People, which was seconded by Mr Bert Eccles. Lunch was then served and all wended their way homeward. The young people of the Circle speak very highly of their social evening in Durham and hope to entertain the Baptist young people in the near future. Between 50 and 60 young people of the Community Cirecle motored to Durham Monday evening, where they had been invited by the young people of the Baptist church. The main it em of the social evening was a de bate "Resolved that Western Canada offers greater opportunities than Easâ€" tern Canada." The affirmative was taken by Mr McDonald and Mr H. Griff of Durham, while the negative was upheld by Mr=Alex. McMillan and Miss Agnes Evans of the Circle. The topic was well (discussed and was very interesting and amusing at times. The affirmative stressed the need of teachers, dentists and doctâ€" ors in the West, which was a great opportunity to young people, while the negative refuted this by the hard times now prevailing in the West. This was causing so many to come East again where things were more stable and young and old did not depend on their wheat crop for a living. If one crop failed there were others to fall back upon. We are honored in having Holâ€" stein as an examination centre for Queen‘s University, Kingston. Canâ€" didates from Mt. Forest, Holstein and Cedarville are writing here this week. _ Rev. L. E.

Their works live after them in the minds of the many men and women toâ€"day in the counties of Wellingâ€" ton and Grey and throughout Canaâ€" da. The last six years of Gilbert‘s time were devoted largely to the inâ€" terests of Egremont. He was honâ€" ored by the highest gift of the munâ€" icipality and he ever felt grateful for the support of those for whom he devoted much of his time and talent in the days of his youth. Each of them spent the greater portion of their time in the County of Welilngton, in the vicinity of Guelph. Lke King David‘s three great men, I think William McEachâ€" ern attains first place,. Although he began to teach 63 years agd, he sti!l enjoys life in the city of Port Arthâ€" ur, well over four score years. Mr McEachern was one of three young highlanders ‘that emigrated from the beautiful dsle of Islay, Arâ€" Eyleshire, Scotland, who began their public service as teachers in this historic school section, the doors of which were ever open to all who wished to learn without charge. And many availed themselves of the opâ€" portunity. ‘The first of the three was William McEachern. He taught in 1862. The next was William McKenâ€" zie, who served in 1863, followed by Gilbert McEachern, who began in 1883. _ All three continued to teach until failing health compellied them to retire. Each were superannuated by the Dept. of Education. cumstance in his history, is that a few years ago, after he had become superannuated, he _ taught a few weeks in this section to complete the term of teacher who had resignâ€" ed. He then had the privilege of teaching the children of his former pupils of thirty five years previous. | _ The late Mr Greenley was a most | industrious and intelligent citizen, ‘and even in late years was anxious |to be steadily at some form of work. He was an ardent reader, and in latâ€" |er years read his daily paper eachn | day without the aid of glasses which he once used. The deceased was a | Liberal in politics and a member of the Presbyterian church. He was the |last of his generation. / In 1867 he was wedded in Elora to Miss Helen Sim, who proved a | dutiful life partner. About 1891 they removed to their new home they | built south of the village. _ Twentyâ€" two years ago his wife passed away, | since when he has resided with his | only surviving â€" daughter â€" Margaret, Mrs Geo. Calder, in Holstein, who | has tenderly cared fer him and selâ€" |\ dom been absent in that time. _ Anâ€" jother daughter, Mrs R E Mickleborâ€" | ough (Katie) died three years ago in |\ Regina. There are 12 grandchildren | living. This â€" calamity increased the sorâ€" row of his friends at his bedside, as well as that of the sufferer. They were not able to know the needs or wishes of the silent one as he lay helpless before them. How true the injunction "Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man may come.‘" Appreciation of the Late Gilb.

The pall beares were John Troup, John Rice, A life of usefulness came to its close last Friday when Matthew Elâ€" lis Greenley passed away at the home of his sonâ€"inâ€"law, Mr Geo. Calâ€" der, «at the ripe old age of 91 years, 3 months. During his long life he has suffered very little sickness. Two years ago he was ill for a time, but since then he has been up and around until about three weeks ago, when he became bedfast. He retainâ€" ed consciousness to the last, and sucâ€" cumbed only to his system being enâ€" tirely worn out. The deceased was born in 1834 at Allerston, Yorkshire, England, where he served his apprenticeship as a mason and plasterer. When 21 years of age he emigrated with his parents to Canada. The first year was spent in Puslinch Township near Guelph, and the following year they moved to Gore A on 12th con., Egremont, then just being settled. Here for 35 years he experienled the joys and sorrows of a pioneer‘s life. T Matthew Ellis Greenicy (By Chas.
