Ten Years of Temperance. ■♦■S'sr'"^ rssa* "•♦'«'•* ^ ?»- f ^ A •- /■ r 9- » — r MEN OF THE MOVEMENT. f HIS part of " Ten Years of Temperance " presents the portraits of thirty prominent Canadian Prohibition, ists and interesting facts about their lives. It is not pretended that this collection exhausts the list of front-rank men of the movement, nor that the sub- jects treated are more distinguished than many others who come in for attention in other parts of this work. The selection was not made by the editor, but by a popular vote of the readers of The Templar, a journal which visits regularly thirty thousand Canadian homes, and enters every province and very nearly every English-speaking neighborhood in the Dominion. Twelve thousand ballots, containing about one hundred and twenty thousand votes, were returned to The Templar ortice, and no fewer than two hundred and one persons received ten or more votes. This part includes the portraits of all who polled upwards of one thousand votes. The first design of publication was to give the leading twenty-one, only, and full page portraits with autographs were prepared. The addition of the other eight was an afterthought, and it became necessary to reduce the size of the portraits to admit all, without increasing the number of pages. On the last page of this part will be foi;nd a brief statement of the methods adopted in taking the vote and an analysis of the resuU The portrait and autograph of the late W. H. Howland, muke a single exception to the plan of this part. He died on the 12th of December, 189), a month prior to the issue of the ballots for The Templar's vote. He was the magnetic leader of Canadian Prohibition- ists and stood at the head of his generation for devotion to public good. After a few days illness, he died of pneumonia suddenly, and the sad news of the event, coming in the very crisis of the Ontario Plebiscit campaign, occasioned profound grief to the temperance forces. He was born at Lambton Mills, Ont., in 1844, the son of Sir Wm. P. Howland, was educated at Upper Canada College, and at sixteen took a place in the large business institution of his father. It was in the Dunkin Act campaign of 1877 that he tirst espoused the temp ance cause, and from that time out he was its constant and vigorous advocate. He was a niciVu'cf Oi tiic Royai Temphirs Oi Tciiipcrancc, and the Good Tenipiars, and at the time of his death was President of the Ontario Alliance. 19 sSTd at O ^'r''' Prohibitionists, was bo n n 1 ''!" ^^""'^ ^'^P^- ^ 5.

D., Premier of Ontario, born in Kingston, Ont., July 22nd, 1820, is the son of John and Helen Mowat, natives of Caithness-shire, Scotland. Educated in Kingston, he began the study of law in the office of the late Right Hon. Sir John A. Mac- donald, and four years later removed to Toronto and completed his course with Robert E. Burns. He was called to the bar in '41, created a Q. C. in '56, and appointed to the Chancery Bench in '64, which office he tilled with distinguished ability for a term of eight years. Though sprung from Tory stock, he identified himself with the Liberals, and in '57 represented South Ontario in the House of Assembly. In '55 he was Provincial Secretary in the Four days' Administration ; in '61 was re- elected in South Ontario, and was Postmaster-General under the Sand- field Macdonald-Dorion and Tache-Macdonald Governments. After eight years' service upon the Bench, he, in '72, re-entered public life as Premier of Ontario, being returned by North Oxford, which riding he has since continuously represented. For twenty-two years he has guarded and guided the destinies of this Province. He is not less distinguished for his loyalty to Provincial rights than to British interests. He has fought many legal battles before the Lords of the Privy Council, and with such success that his opinion on constitutional questions is regarded as almost equal to a judgment of that court. Sir Oliver is a political optimist. He was one of the Fathers of Confederation, and cherishes a hope of a glorious future for this Dominion, possibly as an independent nationality but never as a part of the Republic. The Queen was pleased in '92 to recognize his public services with the honor of knighthood. The taunt of his political opponents is accepted by his admirers, who glory in the Christian Statesman. His public life has been untainted by scandal. Of abstemious habits, the veteran Premier has always strongly sympathized with the temperance reform. In '59 he supported a recommendation to the Legislative Assembly to grant Upper Canada a local option law. He has secured many important amendments in the license laws, and pre- served Provincial control of the liquor traffic ; has enacted local option legislation ; and, February 6th, '94, pledged his Government to the fullest measure of constitutional Prohibition. On June 26th, he received a renewal of public confidence, a'ld Ontario Prohibitionists await the re- demption of his pledge. Sir Oliver is an honored member of the Presbyterian Church. # 22 REV. JOHN WESLEY BELL, B. D. Rev. John Wesley Bell, B. D., was born of Irish parentage in the own of Peterborough, Ont., Sept. 10, 1847. Having shared the advan- tages of the schools of his native town, he was received into the ministry of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1870 and. after three years of Circuit work, was permitted to attend Victoria University, Cobourg, where, after a four years' course, he was honored with the B. D. degree In the same year, 1877, he was transferred to the Manitoba Conference, and did splendid work for that church in those pioneer days He was appointed to some of the most importar.i charges, including Winnipeg, and twice received marked expressions of the esteem in which he was Held by his brethren, being elected to the chairmanship of Crystal City and Mmnedosa districts respectively. Early in his ministerial career he became interested in the temperance work, and during college vacations he devoted much of his time to promoting the reform, under the direction Of the British Templars, in the Province of Quebec and in Western On- tario. This interest rather intensitied with his removal to Manitoba. There lie Identified himself with the United Temperance Association and lectured in nearly every settlement in that province Through the union of that organization with the Royal Templars of femperance, he came into the united society. At the meeting of the Ontario Grand Council, R. T of T in Peterborough, 1890, he was induced to return to Ontario and give the' Order the benefit of his exclusive services, and was commissioned as SuperinteiKJent of the Missionary Department. His work therein has been most successful. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the Order and Its operations ; is well versed in in the political phases of (he Piohib. itory movement, knows the facts and has grasped the philosophy of the agitiati.ui ; has vigorous mental powers, a fine command of language and vivid imagination ; all of which, joined to a cominaiuling presence, niake him an eloquent and powerful advocate of Piohibiiion. ' He has received many honors in the Royal Templar Order, including the chair of the M.uiitoba Grand Council and the Chaplaincy of the Dominion Council. He is Commander-in-Chief of the Knights. He was married a second lime. August j. 1S87. to Mary P. Hancock, of Port Arthur. They have one daughter living. In politics he is a Conservative, favors Woman's Sutlr.ige and Nalicnal Scht.ols. and advo. catcs the Federation of the Empire. H JOHN REDPATH DOUGALL, M. A. John Redpath Dougall was born in the city of Montreal in 1841, his father the late John Dougall having, when only eighteen years of age, removed from Paisley, Scotland, and settled in that city in 1826. He inherited a rich endowment of Scottish blood and brain. His child- hood was lived amidst most delightful surroundings ; the legacy of several generations had developed a fine literary taste and enriched the home with every facility for its cultivation ; the principles of total abstinence held sway ; and a strong yet simple religious faith pervaded all. He was educated at McGill University, of which he is a Fellow and an M. A. Providence had prepared his work, and he cheerfully entered upon the exacting life of a journalist. For eleven years he shared with his father the responsibility of management, and in 1871 assumed the sole manage- ment of the extensive interests of the Witness Publishing House. When tive years old he joined the " Cold Water Army," and, later, the tem- perance committee formed by the late Dr. P. P. Carpenter. It was this movement that inspired the demand upon Parliament which resulted in the Canada Temperance Act, 1878, and out of which grew the Dominion Alliance tor the legal suppression of the liquor tratiic. He was for a time cliairman of that committee. He was active in the formation of the Dominion Alliance, and has been continuously on its Kxecutive and, usually, an important officer. In the Quebec branch he has been recog. mzed as the Nestor of the organization, occupying the position of Presi- dent. Generations back we discover a Tory ancestry, but, whatever the cause, the evolution has given us an Independent Liberal. The Witness IS undoubtedly in sympathy with the Liberal party, yet not infrequently serves the part of the candid friend. It advocates free trade, is opposed to every avoidable connection of church and state, and favors Imperial Federation. On all social and moral questions it utters no uncertain sound. Throughout the Dominion it has urged the legality and righteousness of the movement for the legal suppression of the trariic in intoxicating liquors, and may fairly be credited with having done more than any other force to ripen public opinion as revealed in the Plebiscits. Mr. Dougall was, and continues to be, the firm friend of the Scott Act. He heartily supported the Plebiscits but did not sutler himself to drift into approving the principle. Mr. Dougall is of a retiring disposition, and ever ready to esteem others better than himself. He possesses executive talent of a high order ; is a wise and prudent couiuelor and an able administrator; and would be of great worth in paiiiaineni. He is an official member of Calvary Congregational Church. I «i ad ll •t^ GEORGE HARMAN LEES. George Harman Lees was born in the City of Hamilton, Ont., November 12tli, 1860. His father, Wm. H. Lees, is a Canadian and a prosperous merchant, and his mother is of English birth and great intel- lectual force. He has three brothers,— one a leading barrister, a second in business with his father, and the third a young man of much promise. After a High School training, George took a Commercial course to prepare him for his life work. Having served his apprenticeship as working jeweler and watchmaker i the firm of his uncle, Thomas Lees, he began business for himself, and alter a few years experience in trade, decided to begin the manufacture of jewelery, and sold out his retail interest. This venture has proved eminently successful. His mechanical and artistic genius, com- bined with thorough and honest business methods, has been widely recog- nized, and the tirm of Geo. H. Lees & Co. is to-day one of the most ex- tensive in their line in Canada. His devotion to Temperance dates back to October, 1.S73, when he joined Reliance Lodge, 1. 0. G. P. Five years later, when Royal Templarism was being introduced into Hamilton, he identified himself with the Order, and became a charter member of Sov- ereign Council, the second organized in the city, and later, bore a like relation to Sceptre and Crown Councils, tilling at various times all the offices within their gift. He has been several times a member of the Ontario Grand and Dominion Councils, was elected a member of the Dominion Board of Directors in 1 890, a member of the Finance Committee in 1891-92, and Dominion Vice-Councilor in 1894. He is a member of the Knis success n life. By diligence and tac^ he has sue eeied „ foundmg a arge and prosperous furniture and upholstering business e town ot Mitchell where he has a beautiful home, and e.^oy Te d - hghttul companionship ot a large circle of friends. His nervous tem perameiit impels to activity, anu his energies are largely devoted to public a.Ki p aivt ropic enterprises. On February 26th.S8'49. he t^t^^ tlie Sons ot Temperance, and later with the British American Good Templars, and was tor two years their Grand Secretary He has been prominently identified with the Good Templars and was four y'fr the Auditor, seven years Grand Treasurer, and fotir years Gnmd Cl'L remplar. He retains his connection with that Order, in September 1883 he united with the Royal Templars of Temperance T le O J; ciuickly invited him to her Councils and entrusted him with her ^s Council 1884, and has since continuously sat at that board; in 1886 he was elected Dominion Vice-Councilor; has served several term '^xi Ui Finance Committee ; and in I889 was elected a member of th Dominion Board ot Directors. During two terms of two years e ch lie filed the Chair of the Ontario Grand Council. Mr. F^ag/ s m A vanced Prohibitionist. He supported the Scott Act. and tlie Pi'ebisx t" lunigh not at hist favorably regarded, had his hearty assistance. He i.ui the courage ot his political convictions, and refused to support his Pi( inbition. He has a hue physique and is an attractive tkure in inv cncle; a slightly brusque mannerism conceals a generouVna re .y^i rue nobility that despises the mean and cunning. Hi fe 1 w ci in have honored him as their representative in both ttwn and co ^ty ou uls. and tor years he has dischar.ijed the duties of Police Magistrale He IS an otiicial member of the Methodist church. 32 ROBERT JOHN FLEMING. Robert John Fleming, Toronto, was born of Irish parents, Nov- ember 2>rd, 1854, and received such education as the public, and later, the night schools afforded. The conditions of his youth laid the foundation of his intensely democratic views, which have made him so largely the idol of the masses. In his youth and early manhood he wrought hard, and builded fast a reputation that soon secured for him public recogni- lion. Shortly after attaining his thirtieth year he was elected a member of the Toronto City Council by a vote that surprised his closest friends. This confidence was renewed through four years, when he was compelled by rapidly growing private interests to refuse a re-nomination. After a brief respite from civic duties, he was again invited to serve the city, but this time as Mayor. His aldermanic service had been so faithfully ren- dered, and was so greatly in the public interest, as to make him intensely popular with the people. He had espoused the cause of Labor, and had succeeded in securing the adoption of a resolution fixing a fifteen cents- per-hour wage as the minimum to be paid labor employed upon civic contracts. He had also identified himself with the various efforts to promote Prohibition, and secured the passage of the Fleming By-law in 1887, whereby seventy-four Hotel and nineteen Shop licenses were cut off. These reforms solidified the Liquor and Ultra-Tory vote against him, but made him the popular candidate of the Labor and Prohibition parties, who, after a severe campaign, placed him in the chair of the Chief Magistrate of the Queen City. After a year's able administra- tion of those duties, he was re-elected. He was nominated for a third term by a mass meeting of citizen?, but was defeated, largely by party influence, and an over-confidence that attempted a contest without or- ganization. He has once more resumed personal supervision of his ex- tensive contract and real estate interests, and will no doubt be heard from later. Prohibitionists rejoice in his unbroken devotion to their cause. He has always given liberally both money and time to promote this reform. He was Chairman of the great Convention held in the Toronto Pavilion, February 6, 1894, and ably discharged those duties; and was chosen to the like honor in the Montreal Prohibition Conven- tion, July 3 and 4. His first wife died in I883 ; the present one was a Lydia Jane Orford, of Toronto, whom he married October 21, 1888. Mr. Fleming is a Liberal, and an orticial member of the Methodist Church. 34 the KEv. JOSEPH Mcleod, d. d. nt/f c. ^tl!'*" '*^^'^''' ^- ^^ F'-^dericton, N. B., was bom in :1^ ?

Ex-Vice-Chancellor of Ontario, second son of the late Hon. William Hume Blake and brother of Edward Blake M. P. for Longford. Ireland, was born in Toronto, August 31, 1835. Tutored by Mr. Courtenay, he was in his eighth year sent to Upper Canada College. His early bent was in the direction of commer- ?/• uT"c*^'"''' "P""" ''^^'"^ '°"'^^^' ^^ «"te''ed the firm of Ross. Mitchell & Co., with whom he spent four years. Before the expiry of his period he had resolved upon the study of law and successfully passed the preliminary examinations before the Law Society, and at its conclusion entered the office of his uncle. Dr. Skeffington Connor, and began the double course of Law and Arts. In 1858 he received his B. A. from Toronto University, and that year was admitted to the Ontario Bar and entered into partnership with his brother Edward under the firm name ot E. and S. H. Blake. Their success was phenomenal, and for fifteen years the partnership was continued. When the death of their father m 1872 occasioned a vacancy in the Vice-Chancellorship, the sub^ ject of this sketch resigned from the firm to accept the offer of the Right Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald to succeed to the vacant position. Mr Blake's health had been impaired by his devotion to his professional duties and his elevation to the bench afforded a much needed rest For nine years he brilliantly performed the functions of the Vice-Chancellor " His written judgments are among the best which we have in the liter- ature ot English courts for the grace and limpid eloquence of their style the justness of their reasoning, and the width of their grasp." In I88l' he resumed his place in the old legal firm. Mr. Blake is a churchman ot the low school, intensely catholic, and intolerant of bigotry With his brother, he has contributed liberally to endow Wyckliffe College for the training of young men for the ministry of the English Church He conducts a Bible class that might well be any man's pride, and is gen'erall v a member of the Synod. With the late W. H. Howland he labored iii the Mission which has so blessed the poor of Toronto. He is a director of the Y. M. C. A. and a member of the International S. S. Executive For many years Mr. Blake has been a total abstainer and a most aggies-' sive champion of Prohibition. In church court, convention and upon the public platform his voice has been frequently heard pleading the interests ot this great reform. He was connected with the Dnmininn AUi^nce and, for a period, was President of the Ontario Branch. 46 ! FREDERICK WILLIAM WATKINS. Frederick William Watkins, Hamilton, Ont., was born in the Ambitious City on the ninth day of May, 1849. His father, Frederick W. Watkins, was born in Parsonston, Ireland, and his mother, Catharine in Newcastle, Eng:land. With the exception of a brief residence in Toronto' the subject of this sketch has spent his life in his native city. He made the fullest use of the public and Grammar schools of the city and when about sixteen years of age, entered as an apprentice to the diy goods trade in the flourishing establishment of his uncle, Thomas C. Watkins and later served a term with the well-known house of Robert Walker & Sons, Toronto. Nearly twenty years ago he formed a partnership with Mr T. H. Pratt, and under the firm name of Pratt & Watkins, conducted a highly successful dry goods and clothing trade upon a purely cash basis. This partnership continued for ten years, when Mr. Watkins bought out his partner's interest. Under his great executive talent and tireless energy the business has continued to expand, until to-dav he has one of the largest and most prosperous trades in the city, conducted upon the most thorough and modern principles. A feature of the house is the early closing, and his army of employes does not have to labor into the wee sma' hours of the Sabbath, but the doors of the establishment are closed at six o'clock Saturday evening, and shortly thereafter the num- erous salesmen and women are released from duty. Mr. Watkins has been a life long Methodist ; a member, trustee and steward of the Cen- tenary church. He takes an active interest in philanthropic and Chris- tian work. For years he has been a member of the Board of Directors and IS now President, of the Hamilton Y. M. C. A. All his life a total abstainer, he has at intervals been identified with various temperance societies and organizations designed to pledge men and work along moral suasion lines ; but during recent years be became thoroughly convinced ot the necessity of legal measures to destroy the Drink Traffic After long waiting for his political friends, the Liberals, to take up the question of Prohibition, he joined the party of Advanced Prohibitionists In April, 1.S93, he was Chairman of the great Prohibition Convention Toronto, which endorsed the Marter Bill and in a body waited upon the' Ontario Government; and in August, I893, was elected Dominion Chairman of the Advanced Prohibitionists. He is also President of the Central Temperance Executive of Hamilton, and a prominent Royal Templar. He was married August, 1877, to Marion Watt Ander'^on daughter of a prominent wholesale dry goods merchant, Glasgow, Scot' *t 48 the ick ine, ito, ade len 3ds ns, & ith ted is!i ins nd las on he he re as s- fe .IS ly le C4 9 ll 0:^A6^!itA.<^cA' ''3(/'%/coCPf£:^ ti^t^ FRANCIS S. SPENCE. Francis S. Spence, Toronto, was born in Donegal, Ireland, March 29, 1850. He comes of good stock, his mother being the daughter of the Rev. G. Stephens, an Irish minister. While in his early youth, his parents removed to Canada and he received a liberal education, and for a considerable period taught in the public schools of Toronto. His fatherwas an earnest and devoted temperance advocate and spent a large portion of his vigorous manhood in inculcating the duty of total abstinence for the individual and Prohibition for the State. Among the men developed by the Dunkin Act campaign in M City of Toronto were the late William H. Howland and Frank Spence the young school teacher. The former, with social prestige and wealth, rapidly rose to the mayoralty of the Queen City ; the latter, without these adventitious aids, but by real merit and hard work is, though more slowly, climbing to public place and honor. Mr. Spence has been distinguished for unfailing devotion to the Prohibition cause. For long years he has been an active spirit in the I.O.G.T., and many times has been a member of the Grand Lodge of that Order, is one of its Past Grand Chief Templars, and at its late meeting was elected its Grand Secretary. He has devoted no small portion of his time and thought to literary work. For six years, 1883-9, he edited The Canada Citizen, a weekly journal devoted to the interests of Prohibition, and is now the editor and proprietor of The Vanguard, a Prohibition monthly which will prove valuable as a work of reference. Many years ago he was elected Secretary of the On- tario branch of the Dominion Alliance, which office he continues to till. Since 1884 he has, also, been Secretary of the Council of the Dominion Alliance. From the time of the Dunkin Act campaign, 1877, every movement for the overthrow of the legalized liquor traffic has had his able support, and throughout every Province of the Dominion he has eloquently championed the cause of Prohibition, which has had no more sincere, able and sacrificing friend. Mr. Spence was selected to watch the interests of Prohibition before the Royal Liquor Commission and accompanied that body in its itinerancy of the Dominion and the States of the Union, and, though badly handicapped, did excellent service. His large public spirit has led him to take part in social and educational questions. He actively opposed the Toronto Sunday cars, and for several years was a member of the Public School Board. He M^'ill yet find his way to legislative honors. He is a member of the Carleton Street Methodist church. 50 ri ■ »% J # .

In addition to a public school training he enjoyed the advantages of a course in an academy. Early in life he started out to make his way in the world, and became a clerk in a Montreal store. By diligence and thrift, joined to an enterprising spirit, he has come to occupy a prominent place among the leading business men of the Canadian metropolis. He is an extensive piano manufacturer. When only six years of age he joined a Band of Hope and, afterwards, the Independent Order of Good Templars, of which society he remained a member till he left home. Beyond giving an occasional subscription to the Alliance, he did little temperance work in Montreal till the introduction of Royal Templarism into that city, when, recognizing its many excellent features, he identified himself with the Order, and joined Metropolis Council No. 5, the first Council instituted in Montreal. In a very few months the Royal Templars became the leading temperance organization in that city, both in numbers and influence. He was the inspiring genius of the movement for the spread of the Order in Quebec, promoted the organization of the Grand Council, and was its first presiding officer. Under his leadership the Order quickly achieved llv same relation to the Province that it occupied in Montreal. In 1.S88 he was elected Vice-Councilor of the Dominion Council, and in 1.S89 Dominion Councilor, which oflice he continues to fill with honor. He aided in organizing the Montreal Knights, was first Commander of Metropolitan Command, has been an officer of the Supreme Conmiand ever since his first attendance, and is Field Marshal of the Army. Less a man of words than deeds, he nevertheless speaks with good effect. His business habit generally marks his addresses, yet when he has ventured into the field of humor it has been with "the very happiest results. Of late years Montreal has been greatly agitated over fhe question of reducing the number oi liquor licenses granted in that city, and earnest organized efforts have been made to this end. Mr. Featherston has taken part in these movements. He was elected first President of the Temperance Electoral league, member of the first Executive of the Law and Order League, and is now a member of the Executive of the Citizens' League. He is an otiicial member of the l)ominion Square Methodist church, an oHjcer of its Sundav scIjoo!, and a member of the Montreal V. M. C. A. Board.

John Wilson Bengough, Toronto, was born in the Queen City about forty years ago, the son of Captain John Bengough, a native of Fife- shire, Scotland, and Margaret Wilson, of Cavan, Ireland. He is another demonstration of the wonderful genius so frequently resulting from the admixture of Scotch and Irish blood. His boyhood days were spent in the little town of Whitby, Ontario, where he was educated in the public and grammar schools. His parents and friends advised that he should qualify for the legal profession ; he was accordingly articled in a law office in that town, but the study proved distasteful to him and unsuited to his genius. Laying aside the musty tomes, he bade farewell -to law and entered the Gazette printing otlice, where he caught the inspiration of journalism, and soon found himself on the reportorial staff of the Toronto Globe. Here his genius as a cartoonist commanded attention, and he was encouraged to venture upon the publication of a paper devoted to caricature. " Grip " was born in May, 1873, and its his- tory is familiar to every Canadian. No country ever boasted a brighter, wittier, cleaner or keener journal of political caricature ; sound on all moral and social questions ; it has been the uncompromising enemy of the saloon. Not only through the columns of his paper but upon the platform, Mr. Bengough reached the eyes, ears and hearts of the people, and his name became a household word. He severed his connectii .11 with " (}rip " in t.S92, but the paper did not long survive his removal. On (he 4th of January he revived its publication, and t)nce more that journal has become a general favorite. His clever cartoons, the " Prohibition /^:sop," which were published in (he colunms of " The Templar," were a remarkably brilliant con(ribu(i()n (o (he temperance propa- gaiidism, and were read by delighted and convinced tliousanJs. Mr. Bengough has earned distinction in the poetic lield. His lines upon (he deadi of the Poet Laureate were among, if no(, the finest wri((en upon that occasion. He is opposed (o the National Policy and in favor of free trade, a single (axer and, in general, a Christian socialis(. His synipa(hies are wi(h (he masses rather than (he classes, and his bes( ar( has been used in behalf of (he common people. He is connecled wi(h the Con- gregational chuich, but so broad are his sympathies that he is disposed to aniinuncc himself a Congregational-Presbyterian- Methodist. Though brought up in (he Liberal jchool. he is an Advanced Proliiliitinnist. and expecis tha( li((le will be accomplished for this reform until independent ardent Prohibi(ionis(s are elec(ed to parliament. 54 CI T T '■^'J^.it f-OA^t'i' -L.- -iiilJd), :; i I REV. WILLIAM A. MACKAY. Rev. W. a. MacKay, B. A., D. D., Woodstock, Ontario, was born in Oxford Co., Out., March 11, 1842. His parents were Highland Scotch ; his mother is yet living at the advanced age of 82 years and is a mem-' ber of his church and Bible class. He is the eldest of seven brothers, five of whom studied for the Presbyterian Ministry. When sixteen years of age he secured a first-class teacher^s certificate, and until 1865 taught school in his native county. In 1869 he graduated in Arts in Toronto University, standing first in the honor list in Oriental languages, and taKing a high place among the honor men in logic, metaphysics and ethics. In 1870 he graduated in Knox Theological College, and was licensed by the T)ronto Presbytery to preach the gospel. In December of that year ht was ordained and inducted into the pastoral charge of Cheltenh:im and Mount Pleasant, where he had already as a student labored two s.iminers. November 4, 1873, he was translated lo the pastorate of Baltimore and Cold Springs in the Presbytery of Peter- borcugh. This ch .rge nourished greatly under his care. In May, 1878 he became Ww pastor of Chalmer's Church, Woodstock, succeedinn the omineni .lolm McTavish. D. D., now of Inverness, Scotland, and^ here continues to labor with great fidelity and success. " In recognition of his theological scholarship as evinced in his published works, and of his various services to the church," the Senate of the Presbyterian College Montreal, conferred upon him the degree of D. D. Dr. MacKay takes an active interest in public iiuestions. Perhaps no clergyman in the land has done more etlective work on the platform and through the press lor the cause of Prohibition. He is an Advanced Prohibitionist of the most pronounced type, ready to praise or blame either political party as it is loyal or not lo Prohibition. In the Scott Act and Plebiscit campaigns Dr. MacKay was most active, and his clear logic and strong Scotch tongue and fervor did yeoman's service for the temperance cause. He has been a member of many deputations to interview the Government upon License and Prohibition questions. In an "appeal against the l.iquor Traffic and for the Dunkin Ac\:' published nearly twenty years ago, he quoted the now famous declaration of Sir Oliver Mowat : " three- fourths of all the poverty, crime and wretchedness in the land was owinv to strouL'^ drink."

WILLIAM KETTLEWELL Rev. WiLLFAM KETTLEWELL, Paris, Ontario, was born in the City of Yoric, England, in 1847, and with his mother removed to Canada and settled in the now city of St. Thomas in 1870. When only twelve years of age he was obliged to leave school after having spent a year in the High school. Arriving in St. Thomas he secured a situation in the establishment of William Coyne, dry goods merchant, of that city. While diligent m bus., is he was fervent in spirit, and pursued a course of reading in theology and exercised his gifts as a local preacher in the Methodist church. In 1872 he was received into the ministry of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and spent the first and second years of his probation with his uncle, Rev. William Lund, upon the Exeter circuit. He was ordained in 1876, having previously spent a year in the Wesleyan Theological College, Montreal, Rev. George Douglass, LL, D., Prin- cipal. He has continued to grow in favor with his brethren, and has been successively appointed to some of the most responsible charges within the Niagara Conference. He has been secretary of the Educa- tioii Committee of that Conference since its organization ; chairman of a district ; secretary of General Conference Committee on Temperance ; and secretary of the Superannuation Fund Board, and of the Superannuation Fund Commission appointed by the General Conference in 1890. The Conference of 1894 elected him chairman of the Brantford district, and placed him third upon the list of clerical delegates to the General Conference which meets in London in September. His mother, knowing the bitter sor- row that drink works, early dedicated her son to God and the Temperance reform tc avenge the injury it had inflicted upon his father, and right nobly is he doing his duty. There is no truer champion of Prohibition in the Dominion. His life has been identified with some form of tem- peraiice work. At the organization of ^le Grand Council of Ontario R. T. of T. in 1 882 he was present and elected to fill the chaplain's chair. Upon the formation of the Dominion Council in 1884 he was elected Dominion Councilor, and re-elected in 1885. He is serving his second term in the chair of the Ontario Grand Council. He was made permanent chair- man of the Union Committee which convoked the Convention of 189 J. and later the Pavilion Convention of February C, I894 ; he was Chairman of the delegation which received Sir Oliver's pledge of prohi. bilion, and has in his possession the Premier's type-written promise He has rendered ^'>knm service upon the platform, and been literaily Invaluible in council. 9! i» 4 9\ a ■^ r^>yi L / d'''' f'itttetz^^u^ GEORGE FREDERICK MARTER.

His father, David Buchanan, was a Scot, and his mother a Canadian. He received his education in the Sarnia public schools and in Upper Canada College, and when only eighteen years of age acquired The Lambton Advocate, Arkona-the first Liberal paper published in the riding of East Lambton. After editing it awhile, he bought The Watford Guide and, consolidating these interests, published The Guide-Advocate, Watford. He subsequently edited The Chatham Banner and London Standard. For a time he was private secretary to the ate Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, and a representative of The Toronto Globe at Ottawa. In I882 he sold out his interest in The Guide- Advocate, removed to Manitoba, and during the boom period was editor of The Winnipeg Daily Sun until 1884, when he was solicited to return to Ontario and take charge of the Royal Templar publishing interests. Though quite young when he connected himself with the Good Tem- plars and British Templars, he has been a member of the former body ever since. Through his instrumentality the latter body united with the Royal Templars in 1884, upon condition that the united society become independent of the American order. At the organization of the Dominion Council R. T. of T., he was elected Vice-Councilor, and for the three following years filled the chief office of Dominion Councilor. He IS now the General Manager of the the Order, and editor of The Templar. His election to these responsibilities has been fully justified by the results. The Order has acquired a Dominion reputation, and in every Province thriving and prosperous Councils are operating. Its influence in political circles is very marked. No other temperance Order has so alarmed the " laissez faire " politicians ; while under his inspiration The Templar has come to be acknowledged " the foremost Prohibition journal in Canada." It is thoroughly non-partisan, fearless, progressive, and edited with eminent ability. A Liberal by birth and education, Mr. Buchanan has been compelled not so much to desert as to go in advance of that party. He is a political John the Baptist, preparing the way of Prohibition. In August, I884, he was married to L. Elena Brett, a most estimable woman, who has fully sympathized with his temperance convictions and loyally stood with him to promote the triumph of Prohibition. Their family consists of two daughters. Mr. Buchanan is a meirtber of the First l-ongrcgational church. 63 r I r \JJ.
