retiring pastor of the First Bap-
tist Church of this city, was born
at Norton, New Brunswick. He
prepared for college in the St.
John (N. B.) high school. Atter
four years of life amid the
charming environment of the
Cornwallis valley attending Acadia
University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia,
he was graduated from the insti-
tution in June, 1895, at the age
of 20. When he entered the uni-
versity he had decided in consul-
tation with his father to study
law after graduation, but in his
senior year he decided to enter
the ministry. Upon the advice of
the president of Acadia he beeame

pastor of a home mission field
covering sixty miles in Cumber-
land County, Nova Scotia. Here

he built one church and repaired
another.

The First Baptist Chureh
Amherst called him -from
field as their assistant pastor. He
resigned this work at the end of
the first year and entered the

FROM THE MINISTRY SHOWS THAT HE ALWAYS
FOUGHT HARD FOR THE RIGHT.

Newton he worked for two years
in the evenings in the Stanford
and Merrimac missions in the
erowded quarters of Boston. This
work was conducted by a band of
five young men and resulted in
great good. In preparation for
this work he with others made a,
personal investigation of the
work of the Jerry McAuley Water
Street mission and the Bowery
mission of New York City. Dur-
ing the’ senior year at Newton he
was pastor of the Second Newton
Baptist Church in addition to his
studies,

After graduation he was called
upon his previous record to an-
important chureh in the city of
Hutchinson, Kansas, the great
salt cily of the west.. The mem-
bers of this church had neither
seen nor heard Mr. MeLeod be-

years and had the pleasure of re-

MINISTER OF LABOR

Says Neither Side of Colliery
Strike Seems Disposed to Give
In to the Other.

(Special to The Daily*News)

Ottawa, July 30.—-Hon. T. W.
Crothers has arrived home from
his trip to the Paeific coast,

where he went particularly to in-
quire into the long standing dif-
ficulty among the miners of Van-
couver Island. The crux of the
trouble, said the minister, was
the recognition of the United
Mine Workers’ Union, and neither
side disposed to give in,
The minister has appointed Sam-
uel Price, K. C., to make a detailed
inquiry and wili await his report
before taking action.

Notwithstanding the pessimis-
tie reports that  oceasionally
reach the east, he failed to find in
the existing western conditions
cause for any great alarm. He
was pleased with the marvellots
development of British Columbia.
Everywhere he looked he saw the
earmarks of prosperity. With
great harbor developments and
the proposed construction of mew
railways Vancouver would benefit
greatly by the opening of the
Panama Canal. The outlook gen-
