"Qur.service today is in memory of one who has left a place difficult to fill in the life of St. Andrew‘s church. He belonged to a school of which few remain, but which has made fine Christian contribution to our Dominion in its three great deâ€" partments of church, state and com:â€" merce. They were men of finely tempered mentality, men of virile will power but not wilful, men of clean cut decisions, but never guilty of strongheaded, stubbornness, shrewd and keen in business, but always gemerous amd kind in conâ€" duct, men who looked on duty as a sacred obligation. ‘The late Mr. Smyth belonged to that pioneer school. Asâ€"a citizen he took his full share both in public and private capacity in the civic affairs of his community. As a presbyter heâ€"was an example even to ministers in the regularity of his attendance at that court. In his administration as a ruling elder he set a fine ideal of service. We will miss him most in prayer meetingâ€"the deep passion of soul expressed in the gquiet tense voice, the humility of reverence, of spirit, that carried as with him into the presence of God." , SENTENCED TO 81X MONTHS ON CHARGE OF ARSON In the Kitchener police court on Monday, Harry Klinck of near El mira, who was found guilty of arson, was sentenced to six months in the Ontario Reformatory with an indeâ€" terminate sentence of one year thereafter, An appeal against the conviction to the divisional court, ‘Toronto, was announced by Klinck‘s coun#el, George Bray. ‘The charge on which Klinck was was found guilty byâ€" the muMnte{ who.tried the case about a month ago, Arose out of a firé which ocâ€" curred on his chicken farm near El mira, in which two chicken houses were destroyed and which, it is alâ€" ledged, was of a suspicious nature. An investigation showed that about 75 chickens had been killed and they were found in the one chicken house before the fire had destroyed the buiflding. It was shown at the hearâ€" ing that the fire had spread from one house to the other in a direction opposite to the wind. f Crown Attorney Bowlby, following the hearing of the evidence, claimed that Klinck had killed the chickens himself to provide evidence to subâ€" stantiate his claim to the insurance company for m"hnmu. He also claimed that were not as many chickens in the houses as Klinck said had been destroyed. in reâ€" ‘buutl.
