Sir John Thompson was born in Haâ€" lifax, N. S. on the 10th November 1844, and died at Windsor Castle on the 12th of December 1894. He was called to the bar in 1865, married in 1870, called to Ottawa by the late Sir John A. Macdonald in 1885 and made Minister of Justice and Attorneyâ€"Gonâ€" eral for the Dominion. In August 1888 he was Knighted, and became Premier of Canada in 1893 at the earâ€" ly age of 48 years. Of him it has been said : ] The news of his death, except to a ‘few of bis intimate friends who were aware of the precarious state of his health, was altogether unexpected and it plunged the nation into the deepest grief at the Joss of one of her most ilâ€" lustrious sons. Possessed of great naâ€" tual talent Sir John had won his way to the position of first minister of the Dominion by sheer force of intelâ€" lect coupled with amazing industry. His time and his talents were given unâ€" selfishly to the service of the country and when its history is written no name will be givyen a more honored place than that 6of the late Premier. His death has called forth words of apâ€". preciation from political friend and foe alike rnd his death is felt to be a national loss. The heartfelt sympathy of the whole nation goes out to the widow and family in this hour of their ‘ great bereavement. Last week just as we were going to preâ€"s the whole country wagâ€"«tartled by theintelligence that Sir John Thompâ€" son, Premier of Canada, had died sudâ€" denly at Windsor Castle, shortly after having been sworn in as a Privy Counâ€" cillor of the Empire. ly ‘know, not n}m of them ieft me, _ I did ’ [bot deseg a single client of them. â€" His ' !chnng~ of relfgion did not seemg to have | «thected his fortunes one way or other. | lHe did not become Premicr of Nova | Scotia, gmJudge, or Minister of Justice | 'or Premier of the Dominion, or au ]m-“ perial Bridy Counciilor because be | | wiis & C‘rtlull e but. ns religionâ€"did not , stand in the way whea any of ches> | puâ€"itiong \rere open to lim,. ) |__Sir Jjhn achieved power and place ana hconor buat he did not save urâ€"ney | for bis fammiy, A national sutscrip | ction has| teen set on foot and a large ! amount nas alresdy been subscrit ed. | One ecmleman in Montreai esntrbut | ed a 21000, the Board of trade 22500 | ind a |irge number of smaller amounts. ‘ I has been suggested that Parliawont | shou‘d vote a gratuiry or & pension to | the widow, â€" There are several preceâ€" dents for this. _ Lady Cartier and Mrs. D‘Arey McGee were put upon the penâ€" |â€" sion Iimt.

He expressed the happy relationship which had so long existed between himself and the pastor of the Berlin Society, Mr. Tuerk, and the pleasure he now had in joining him in his pastoral work. Mr. Charles A. Abrens followed. He said he had little to say, as much that be would bave said had been already expressed by the previous speakers ; he heartily concurred in all that had been said in regard to the unanimity of the desire to have the services of Prof. Tafel; he was well and favorably known by every one of us, and was withor doubt the most learned man in Berk _ especially in the language of the origiâ€" nal word of God ; and it would be enâ€" tirely the fault of the members of the society if spiritual progress were not the result of his ministrations, Mr, Wm. Hendry followed in a short address fully sympathising with the fine sentiments lexpressed by "our pastor,." He said that the members of the society had been singularly unaniâ€" mous in the endemvour to secure the services of brother Tafel whom they knew so well and respected so highly. He said the society had enjoyed three separate seasons of joy : first, when it was mentioned that there was a probâ€" ability of securing the services of Bro. Tafel, every one joined in the bope that it would be so, and a good deal of apxiety was felt as to the result during the several months of negotiations. Second, when the ‘ong hoped for news came that the brother had accepted our call and would move to Berlin at once; and last our joy was complete when we gave him our hand of fellowship and personal welcome in his new home with us. Mr. Hendry closed by expressing his high esteem for Mr. Tafel‘s ability and the faithfulness with which his services would be rendered and remindâ€" ed his hearers that they had work which they must faithfally perform individuâ€" ally, and if the society do its part as faithfully and well as Bro. Tafel would do his, we should rapidly: progress in our respective states of regeneration under the help and blessing of the *¥‘~ 3 ing bis flock. ‘The Rev. gentleman‘s } remarks here became very pathetic as ‘ he described the dedication of thelittle frame church on church street. The membership of about a dozen who beâ€" ginning with five had supported a pastor and his own engagement with the society thirtyâ€"seven years ago. Durâ€" ing these years he had fels that the members of the society were members of his own bousehold and bad done his best to treat them as sufh ; he had bapâ€" tised nearly all those present; had married the most of those who were married ; hbad baptised all thair childâ€" ren, and baptised and married many cf their children‘s children. He closed by expressing. the hope that now that the society had through the Divine Mercy come under such able and faithful pastâ€" oral care the society would enter into their duties and obligations in the fullâ€" est sympathy with the uses of the church which . belonged to them to perâ€" form. workers in the church and in the transâ€" lation of the word of the Lord during wany years, and during all this time had been drawing closer aud closer toâ€" gether in spirit, aud now his joy was fcll in having hbis friend and brother personally join him in spiritually feedâ€" _cedel by the scciety‘s ip&&t()r, the in Rev. F. W. Tuerk. © Notwithsta+nding thit every appearance indicated an ab sence of suspicion regarding the plot to invade the evening {privacy of his nome, the Rev. Prof. and his estima«ble wife receivyed and entertained the enâ€" vaders in a manner which endeared the new pastor to his flock more fully, if possib‘e, than ever before. After the burdens of: the march had been deposited in the dining room und a short time devoted to kindly greetâ€" ings Pastor Tuerk was voted to the chair, and delivered a most kindly adâ€" dress, in which he expressed his great pleasure at having secured the services of hig most intimate and esteemed fricnd and coâ€"worker the ev. Frof. Tafel as nssistant pretor of the society. Brothér Tafel and himse‘!f had been coâ€" workers in the church and in the trans. eight o‘c‘ocis miurched in somewbat irâ€" regwar file iaden with iwell filled baskâ€" ets, bags, buad!»s and Windly intentions to the Rev.

In the forencon the neighboring teachers and others au;sembled8 to hear the several ~lasses as they were examined in 1 work by the teachers and it is truigm that the work done by Mr. Holdsworth their teacher, was performed in the most efficient manner, which will reâ€" flect lasting credit on himself and ‘ scholars. | After the preliminaries of the mornâ€" iog, the scholars adjourned to the baseâ€" ment while the visitors remained in the schoolâ€"room and it is the general opinion that both did ample justice to the delicacies so abundantly provided. Undoubtedly the hospitality of the Haysville ladies will long be rememâ€" bered by those present. After this very important part of the 'dl{l prooeezngs & short recess was taken, after which Mr. 3.

Prof. Tafel gave an interesting discription of his experiences in the various fields of his labor. not in the state in which his services would be acceptable to thetn, nor theirs to his, and the result was his acceptâ€" ance of the uses he could perform to be rendered at Berlin and he expressed great pleasure in the anticipation of what he might be the Lord‘s servant in accomplishing m his new sphere of KING S8T., BERLIN, ONT Great care is given this department.
