WHITBY James Holden Phone House 16 Office 434 FUNERAL HELD OF REV. WGILLIVRAY Many Pay Tribute of Re- spect at Last Rites | in Whitby (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 16.--Members of former congregations, friends from many different points and prom- inent ministers of 'the Presbyterian church gathered at the home of Dr. F. McGillivray, Dundas street east, yesterday afternoon to pay final tribute to the late Rev, Norman H, McGillivray, who af- ter a semi-private service at the residence was buried in the family plot at the Union Cemetery. Per- haps few ministers in Ontario were more widely known and better lik- ed than the late' Rev. Mr. MecGilli- vray, and the number and beauty of the floral tributes were wonder» ful, Dr. McKerroll, of Victoria Press byterian church, Toronto, present. ed the address in which he elo- quently set forth the splendid, full life of the deceased man who had given such faithful service to his church and country, He spoke in- spiring words to those who would find fh his death a distinct loss. The service was marked with sim- plicity and reverent dignity, Dr, McKerrol being assisted by Rev, Mr. Vesey, of Parkdale Presbyter- fan church, Toronto, Rev. H, E Abraham, of Eglinton and Bedford Park church, Toronto, former school mate of the deceased, who read a Bible chapter, and Rev, John Lindsay, pastor of St. An- drew's Presbyterian church, Whit- by, who closed the service with the benediction. A very large funeral cortege proceeded to the Union Cemetery where the solemn graveside ser- vice was conducted by Dr. McKer- rol and the late pastor was laid to rest close hy the grave of his parents, the late Mr, and Mrs, Mrs, George McGillivray, Rev. N. H. McGillivray was the youngest child of a distinguished family of thirteen, including seven boys and six girls, He was born and raised in Whitby at the old family residence, "Inverlyn," Dun- das street west, now the property of Mr, F. M, Irwin. As a boy he showed a kindly disposition and won himself many friends both among old and young, He was educated at the King street public school and the Whitby High School an dduring his high school days took a great interest in athletics, particularly football, After gradu- ating from the high school, he en- tered Knox College and entered the ministry in 1900. It might be said to the credit of the father and mother of this family that all some profession in which they ob- tained success, Rev, Mr, McGillivray's first charge was at Carp, near Ottawa, fn 1900. The following year neo married Miss Mary Mitchell, daugh- ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell, of Whitby, and in 1903 he was stationed at St. John's Prasbyterian church, Cornwall, continuing in this pastorate until 1909, when he was called to Tay- lor church, Montreal, In 1911 he succeeded to a pastorate in St, Thomas and was in charge there when the war broke out. :ake many others of Secoteh-Canadign parentage, the late pastor felt that the Great War was a summons to the loyalty of every true subject of the King in those dark days of the Empire's crisis, He was active in recruiting work until in 1916 he went overseas as chaplain of the 91st Regiment, C.E.F, being given the rank of captain. He con- tinued in France for several months although suffering from ill health. After the Armistice, Rev, Mr, | McGillivray was invited fo the Oril- lia Presbyterian church where he preached from 1919 to 1925. In September of that year he was in- ducted in Parkdale Presbyterian church, remaining as pastor there until poor health forced him to re- tire in January, 1927. At the time of his death, he was in his 57th year. The late Rev. McGillivray pos- sessed a warm generous nature, was an eloquent speaker and taught the Christian life as much by ex- ample as by preaching. He found favor with whatever congregation he had in his charge and wherever he went he enlarged his circle of friends and acquaintances until it was seid that there was hardly a city across Canada in which he did not have a friend. He had genius for organization and one outstanding example of this may be seen in a community picnic which he arranged at St. Thomas. It was one of the most successful events of fits kind ever held in that city and as chairman, the deceased had on either side of him a Roman Catholic priest and 8 Methodist minister. Those who survive to mourn their loss, include the sorrowing widow, and two daughters, Miss Margaret and Miss Jean ' MeGHli- vray, who reside at 615 Huron street, Toronto, three brothers, Dr. C. F. MeGillivray, of Whitby, Dr. George McGillivray, Minnesota, U. S.A., and Dr. Donald McGillivray, 2 Elgin Ave., Toronto, also three sisters, Mrs. MacLaren, Mrs. Gam- ble and Miss Florence McGillivray, sil of Ottawa. seven sons succeeded in entering Wins First Prize in Newsboys' Competition For Subscriptions Basil Sawyer Se Secures 440| Boints and is Presented With Watch and Other Prizes -- Russell Sweet Wins Second Honors and is Presented With Watch Basil Sawyer, Park raad south, carrier boy for route No, 11 of The Oshawa Daily T!mes, 'Is the winner of the circulation contest conducted by the circulation de- partment ending April 30.

"EYES OF LOVE" WELL RECEIVED Play Presented in the New Martin - Theatre By Rebekah Lodge A very successful play, 'The Eyes of Love," was put on last night at the New Martin Theatre under the auspices of Rebekah Lodge, No, 3 and under the able assistance of Mrs. A. E. Bell Although only amateur talent was employed the acting would have been a credit to professionals, The plot was an in- teresting one and kept the audience interested until the curtain fell on the last act. Miss Edith Evans, as Gailya, the adopted daughter of Judge Barry--Mr. Bob Keal--and Mrs. Barry, played by Miss Frankie Branton was in love with Royal Manton, enacted by Mr. Pat Wan- namaker. Rita--Miss Bea. Gillard-- a "two-faced' 'friend of Gailya's, was also in love with Royal and Bert Wade, played by Mr. Len Stoneburg, was in love with Gailya. Of course, Rita, although painfully sweet to Gailya, was wishing for Royal and Bert wanted Gailya, so when Bert discovered that Jim Lankin--Mr. Bob Ireland--an escaped convict was Gailya's father, Rita and he made the most of the situation with the re- sult that Gailya's engagement to Royal was broken off and only the establishment of Jim's innocence brought them together again. Laura, the maid, enacted by: Miss Eva Hastings, and Clarke, the butler--Mr. W. Evans--lent humor to the more intense moments. Miss Edith Evans played the part of Carolina expertly, Miss Madge Hanna and Mrs. Dr. Berry entertained the large audience between acts with dances and solos, respectively.

Half a carload of pads which had been loaded was saved from the flames when em- ployees pushed the car along the track away from the burning building.Gallant work by the em- ployees and the Pickering Fire De- partment saved the main building of the plant, The pad department housed the offices of the company which were also destroyed. The blaze which started in the south-east corner was discovered by the foreman but it was impossible to save either the building or the contents due to the fact that the flames spread rapidly.
