spend their declining years among friends they made when Rev Peer building up churches for tjie denomination in Cratnahe Minie Norwood Warsaw and Truly his record in Old and New Ontario is a worthy one A casual glance at Rev William Peer does not reveal the missionary at his true value A ruddy face per petually wrinkled and by a smile that hovers even in his serious moments blue eyes that twinkle with kindness silver hair and moustache a little man half bur ied in the depths of a- big raccoon coat these were the outstanding fea tures of Rev Mr Peer as he appear ed while in Toronto The removal of the cooneoat reveals only a trim wellgroomed gentleman of not more than pounds weight a man who would readily be taken for a successful Toronto manufacturer than for the man who pioneered that rough north country in a manner that rivals for zest selfsacrifice and carelessness of- hardship the hazard ous undertakings of- the French Jes uit A Hardy Old Man Think of years of age and able to paddle a canoe miles a day or face below zero weather in a mile journey across Temiskam- Ing and through the woods to hold service in a lumber camp A man who has raced death by storm ashore and afloat by wild ani mals or forest fire almost a score of times who will go hack at it again this winter and maybe for many more years as a volunteer mLssion- A man who loves his work above personal comfort and advancement and even in the face of the opposition of men in power of his Church is this chap with the smiling the coon coat There Is no belter known man in all the north country than Rev Wil liam Peer and he has done mighty work for the cause up in the silver country Yet he and the Baptist Home Missionary Hoard have quarrel led Trouble With Hoard A grievance became open rup ture and

Mr McKwen former superintendent the home Missions to spy out the land reported that the district was a rich one or was before the mining boom and that it would be advisable for the board to enter the R with adventures For nine years he has tirelessly roamed hack and forth over that country until every sett let and his children- every miner and lumberman knows him Before the mining rush every child in the- whole district who could lisp said its Gold en Texts to this whitehaired toiler and was rewarded with candies and school tickets carried his satchel The lumbering and mining camps welcomed the genial little missionary because he brought with magazines for- them to read He came in all weathers and in the face of all hardships and like the rough fellows on any frontier they loved him because he was molly coddle He braved zero weather and snowstorms battled with rivers in Hood time and the windlashed lakes in his canoe to reach them and they gave him a royal welcome A score of miraculous escapes has been his fortune Once he struggled with old Lake Temiskaming in storm time A sud den the lake into and he paddled miles against the storm When he reached land be was unable to drop the paddle from his hands and lay with them in the water until the muscles relaxed A Moose Headache One he rounded the end of a hill and walked plump into a bull moose He stopped and I stopped stock still both paralyzed With surprise said Mr Peer He gathered himself together and charged like a battering ram Fortunately though I had not noticed it ft big tree stood at my elbow sprang behind it He hit
