26 John William in Vancouver is an expert in teaching immigrants how to speak proper English. He teaches at a Community College, He has travelled widely to such places as Egypt, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, Europe, and the British Isles. The Osiers for over three hundred years in the Dundee area have been farmers, wood workers, builders, and ministers of the Gospel. They had one characteristic in common in that they inherited a tendency to marry emotional and wonderful women. This has been their salvation. They have scattered widely to places like Canada, United States, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. Three, in the fifth generation, were deeply religious, namely, the previously mentioned James, John, and Andrew. When these men got into a jam they consulted the Bible, and this kept them on the straight road towards a solution. At the time Helen Raitt left Dundee to settle in Canada on May 12, 1870, she was presented with a book by a Kinsman. In his own writing he gave it to her as a parting gift and he designated her married name as Mrs. A. Osier. This book was entitled 'The Mount of Olives, and other Lectures on Prayer' by James Hamilton, D.D.F.L.S. (Ballantyne and Company, Edinburgh, 1869). Here is what the Kinsman wrote in the book: Beloved friend, may the God of all grace bless thee and keep thee and cause the light of his salvation to shine upon thy soul continually. Where ever In his all wise providence your lot may be cast, or what may be the nature or number of thy trials. May his grace be made, sufficient for you and his strength perfect In weakness. The same good Is sought for your husband and children. Signed J.T. or L. Raitte
