. i THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1928 ---- a Many Pay Last Tribute > of _Respect to Late Rector Rev. Thomas G. A. Wright] ' Laid to Rest -- Anglican .i Church Dignitaries At. 'tend, Including -Rt. Rev. James Sweeney, Bishop of Toronto (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 16--Simple . dignity marked the funeral service of the te Rev. Thomas G. A. Wright, A., B.D, rector of All Saints' An- can Church who was laid to rest ( the churchyard of St. John's An- glican Church, last Monday after- noon. Hundreds of people attended Both the services in the All Saints' Chtreh and at the graveside, indi- gating the deep respect with which the deceased was held in the com- munity, Many irom out of town were also present, including promin- ent Anglican clergy. The beautiful floral tribute which graced the cas- ket spoke more eloquently than words of thes love and esteem which the former pastor had earned by his life of carnest devotion. and self- sacrifice, Following a short private service at the rectory which was in charge of Rev. R. B. Patterson, of Christ Church, Oshawa, and Rev. D. B. Langford, pastor of St. John's church, Port Whitby, a public ser- vice was held at 4 o'clock in historic All Saints' which has been the cen- tre of Rev. Mr. Wright's activities for the past nine years, The audi- forium was crowded to the doors with men and women not gathered together by mere curiosity but come in reverence to pay final homage to one whom they had learned to know and love, "Wherefore comfort one another with these words," 1 Thessalonians 4, 18, was the subject of the inspiring and hopeful message spoken by His Lordship, Bishop Sweeney, of the jum Dioceses, who conducted the solemn rites in the church. Bishop Sweeney reaffirmed that an- cient New Testament promise that those who are in Christ do not per- ish at death but simply sleep until they shall rise again. The Christian church, he stated, did not hold with the teaching that soul and body perish together when life becomes extinct, such as makes a pagan death a dark and awful thing. Referring to the brilliant scholastic and ministerial career of Rev. Mr. Wright, the bishop stated that his life had been characterized by in- tensity, intense zeal for his church, intense interest in the work of the parish and any other work which he undertpok. After receiving the post of Rural Dean of the York Deanery, last February, in spite of poor health, he had been filled with plans to further the work of the deanery until finally he was forced to resign on account of illness. Bishop Sweeney then addressed a few words of com- fort to the mourners, calling atten- tion to the many messages of eter- nal life contained in the Scriptures. Assisting Bishop Sweeney were Rev: D. B. Langford, who read the opening sentences, Rev. R. B. Pat- terson, of Christ Church, Oshawa, | ! who took the lesson and Rev. F. Wilkinsong rector emeratus of St. Peter's, Toronto, who pronounced the concluding prayer. * The benedic- tion was pronounced by Bishop Sweeney. Rev. Mr. Langford gave out the hymns which included "Now the Laborer's Task is O'er," "My Faith Looks Up to The," and "Abide With Me." The "Nunc Dimittis" was taken as the recessional hymn and after the procession of choir, clergy, and pallbearers had passed down the centre aisle the members of the con- gregational filed. out of the church to the slow solemn strains of "Dead March in Saul," while the bell in the tower tolled softly. The procession moved on in ears Enjoyment Awaits You Dancing in the Famous Jubilee Pavilion Every Night a"LAKEVIEW" ------ MERRY-GO-ROUND Adults, 10¢; Children, 5¢ FERRIS WHEEL 10c | Open on Saturday and | continue for balance of 4 late residence to_St. John's church cemet where the last rites were performed at the graveside by Venerable Archdeacon F.

He mar- ried Miss Maude Helen Rice, daugh- ter of the late John Rice, Whitby, who predeceased him by three years. There were no children.

LINER I PROBED Not Definite as to Whether a Second Man Disappeared Montreal, May 15.--The Cana- dian Pacific Steamshlps, Glasgow, is investigating the disappearance of Hilliam MacKenzie. His wife, in Hamilton, already has been notified. More information is ex- pected tomorrow, at the request of the Passenger Traffie Manager. W. A. Wilson was a passenger on the Melita, but was not des- cribed on the ticket as a clergy- man. His didappearance from the liner is not definitely known, but information respecting that will probably be forthcoming to- morrow. Disappeared at Sea The Canadian Pacific Ocean Ser- vices has received an officlal statement from the company's pas- sanger agent at Glasgow relative to the non-arrival at that port of William MacKenzie of Hamilton, Ont., who. embarked on the steam- ship Melita, when it sailed from Montreal on April 30. According to the official report, Mr. Macken- zie disappeared on May 3, when the ship was four days out. The Glasgow report leaves the inference that Mr. MacKenzie went overboard, but there is no evidence of eye-witness. His ab- sence from his cabin was brought to the attention of the command- ing officer, and a thorough but fruitless search of the vessel was made. Not Known in Vancouver Vancouver, May 15.--Rev. W.
