His ministerial work covered pastorates in Askin Street Methodist Church, London, Brant Avenue Methodist | Church, ‘Brantford,â€" the Dundas Methodist Church and the Hespeler Lum-c Clurch. He cajige to Watâ€" erloo about six years ago where he has since been stationed.

He was in his 67th year. The late Mr. nm;uw July had been the pastor of the Watâ€" erloo Methodist Church for a period of five years. ‘When union ‘of St. Paul‘s Presbytgrian g« and the , Methodist Church took. place lnt! year he contluued to be identifi¢d with the Church, being ulochtod’ with Rev. Mr. Watts, formerly pasâ€" ; tor of St. Paul‘s United Church, in the work of the united congregattons | which now comprise the First United Church. I The passing of the late Mr. Harâ€" vey removes one of the oldest and most highly regarded ministers of the church who during a ministry covering forty years, occupied variâ€" ous positions of high honor and reâ€" sponsibility. During the years 1924 and 1925 he was president of the Hamilton Conference while latterly in this district he was clerk of the Presbytery, occupying that position at the time of his death. He was also a member of .the last general council of the church. ‘The late Mr. Harvey was a gifted member of the ministry. He eloâ€" quently and instructively expounded the gospel truths from Sunday to Sunday while in his pastoral work among the congregation he also efficiently filled his duties. He took particular interest in the work of the Sunday School and within reâ€" cent months was instrumental in orâ€" ganizing a Men‘s Brotherhood which has been attended with a large measure of success. His passing will bring sorrow to a wide acquaintanceship throughout the church and particularly in the pastorates where he gave years of devoted and zealous service in the Christian cause. He will be especial ly mourned by the members of his congregation and fellow citizens at Waterloo where he spent the last years of his life. ‘The funeral, which was held on Sunday afternoon, was made the ocâ€" casion for feeling and sincere triâ€" butes to his worth by former assoâ€" ciates in the ministry. The First Unite@® Church, where he had in reâ€" cent years ministered to the conâ€" gregation, was filled with former parishioners both from the Waterloo congregation and from churches where he formerly ministered to the congregations. High officials of the United Church of Canada as well as reprogonutlve. of the Twinâ€"City Ministerial Association were pres ent to testify to the worth of the late Mr. Harvey. The impressive service was in charge of Rev. J. O. Watts, the pasâ€" tor of the First United Church; with whom the late Mr. Harvey had been associated during. the past year. ‘The Hamilton Conference of the United Church was represented by Rev. Dr. Speer of Dundas, who charâ€" acterized the late Mr. Harvey as one of the outitanding men of the conâ€" ference. He had enjoyed the unique distinction of being the last presiâ€" dent of the Hamilton Conference of the former Mothodist Church and 'uo,lr't president of the Hamilton (Concluded on Page 5) January Clearing Sale At Lang‘Treacy Store Hundreds of people are attending the Langâ€"Treacy Co: great January Clearing Sale now on.
