More than 45 years ago Baptist I:.-;)Y!e .Miasicn work was attempted iy. ha large district surrounding what is now known as the Flesherton and R" _k Miils. field. Large sections of the townships were included in this district. The workers were very few in number, but they were excel- lent in duality they were not Bap- tist fo.- cantor..' ion, but from cor.v:,-- tion, and \vcvc men and women oi. dc-vcut spirit, -clear vision and un- wavering faith in God. A central place in that devoted place was filled by J. E. Moore and his spiritually minded wife,( who now with their family live at Mountain View, Calif.) They accepted in a whole sense *he charge to "Seek first the Kingdom of Cod." In preaching, holding prayer meetings, evangelistic services, temperance meetings and Sunday Schools and were constant in season and out of season. Nearly all visitors to the field for years in the eariy stages of the work were entertained in their home. Mr. Moore is in his 82nd year. He and Mrs. Moore are in good healtli and they and ther children and grand- children are enjoying the blessingj of the Christian life and the privileges of Christian service. In a letter written to a friend on January 12th, Mr. Moore in telling of his coming from his home in Eng- land to begin life in Canada, says: ''Landing in Toronto Sunday morning (in 1871 or 1872) early, perhaps 2 a. m., I was awakened by the chimes of the English church at 7 a.m. After breakfast at the hotel somewhere or. Front Sfcreet. I walked out and four.d old Bond Stree 1 Baptist church. Dr. Stewa-t was then pastor and editor of "The Canadian Baptist". On Uie Monday following I met the reception committee at the church and prc- rented my church letter, subscribed, which was their custom then to ex- pect from every member, a weekly staled amount for church expenses and at !he same time subscribed for the denominational paper, which was a welcome weekly visitor to ou. home for a very long tine and \vhi:h w^ were privileged to enjoy even after coming to California. It is .int easy to say how much "The Can- adian Baptist" contributed toward making sr-h workcis what they, for s > long, have been and how large a share the Baptist had in bringing about all th? f--uitage that has ap- peared in the Flesherton Field.

COLLINGWOOD PIONEER PASSED AT ALLISTON (Continued from Page 4) Box Social and Former Resident Passes The funeral of the late Elizabeth Campbell, ijrmcrly of Flesherton. takink place thi.< Wednesday after- noon upjin the arrival of the noon train from Toronto, interment lo take place in Flesherton Cemetery. The late Mis.) Campbell passed away on Sunday morning. February 16th, at the home of her brother Col. A. G. Campbell, Toronto. She was> a daughter of the late Ri.-hard Camp- lell, who was clerk of Artemesla township for seventeen years, and also x former teacher in the old log school house or the Toronto line, north ot this village. Her mother was the first to be interred in the Flesherton Cemetery, It wouldn't be exactly fair to re- fer to the family butcher as a regu- lar cut-up. At the ripe old ajre of 81 years there passed away at her home in Alliston on Thursday afternoon, Esther Fleming:, the eldest of a family of eight, of the old pioneer family of Collingwood township twp. daughter of the late Mr. and M's. W. Fleming- The deceased was UK- wife of Mr. E. Fawcett to whom she was married in Sept. 1870, and at the tiire of her demise was only a few months from attaining the diamond pnniversary of their wedding day. Besides her bereaved husband, there survive to mourn her loss, six child- ren, Mrs. . A. Hutchinson, Mrs. T. P. Fester arid Gertrude of Alliston; Mrs. V,'. .1. Hut hinsori.

It was. almost unbelievable to the crew, ! though sure enough, not far away a rhip \va.i seen ploughing towaru them and bearing down with all spcsd. The seas were yet too rough "-/ launch a life boat, and as the big' .';> can:c wthin hailing distance It; .en to bo a large Frencli liner^ with a cargo of automobiles for the 1 French army. No time was lost In; sotting communcaticns from her. 1 The Captain of the liner calling at Diice. said he would wait along side until the seas went down. Captain Lawson answered: "If you cannot 1 rescue us within the hour you might just as well be on your way." This \vas enough; the French Cap- tain knew the schooner must be in n precarious condition and made ail hast^ to lower boats. The first two attempts were futile, smashing their boats against the sides of the liner like so much matchwood. The third was more successful in getting away,] but not until after repeated efforts,' were they successful' in getting a line t3 the now doomed schooner, which \va3 fast sinking. The line was soon fastened and the firs;, sailor swung himself clear of the schooner, hand over hand. This was real hardship, their hands almus: cut to the- bone. Even Jasper, who had a broken leg, made the desperate bid for his life and succeeded in landing on the deck of the liner., Captain Lawson was the last ta leave, and en landing on the deck <u the liner, turned for one last look a: his derelict schooner. Nothing met his eyes but the angjy seas. She had sunk beneath, while the captain was struggling with might and main In the waters. Everything was made as comfortable as possible for the schooner's crew. Jasper was pui into the hospital which was situate^ on the highest point of the deck. The storm had not yet lost its strength. Mountains of sea were threatening to engulf the liner. Two hundred of the automobiles which were on deck had to be slipped overboard for the safety of the vessel. No lives \ve"c lost and the seas began to recede. One hour more and the liner was safe, running into per- fectly smooth waters, and five day* broubht her safely into home port. No name was given to the Frem-n liner as she was camouflaged as most large oceans liners were at that time. Thj schooner's crew were well taken caie of and returned ;;> American shores by a returning vessel two weeks later, except for the sailor Jasper, who was sent to ar. English hospital and did not retur.-. home until the spring of I'Jlf). This is only one of the hundreds OT experiences and adventures of the Newfoundland sailors and fishermen, and many of the stories and yarns of this kind are to be heard at the fire- sides <>!' their homes throughout the winter. Many are the disasters that happen along the rugged coast am? many a heroic deed has been done that will never be brought to light. Such is the life of the Newfoundland sailor and fisherman, proud of hts native Island, but no boaster. GEO. B. RICHARDSON, Botwood.
