sldnd Pastor Dies In England

‘ BT. JOHN, May 8-James E. Cogswell, Saint Johnfhls received word of the death of his father, Rev. David H. Cogswell, M. A.. which occurred at Wapley vicarage, Chipping Todbury. Gloucestershire, Eng., on April 19. Mr. Cogsweii, al- though i.n his 88th year, was in ac-

tive service in the Anglican minis-

try. He had conducted the three- hour service in the parish church on Good Friday and had taken the Easter morning services on April 16 -That afternoon he suffered a slight paralytic stroke, but rallied and hope was held for his recov- ery, but he passed away late Wed-

nesday night, April 19.

I-le was born in Georgetown,

P. E. I., son of the late James Cogswell of that place, and a broth-

of thc late Aaron 0. Cogswcll. is early education was obtained Prince Edward Island, where he

raduated from Prince of Wales

mber of the college faculty. Ho

niversity and from that university

i obtained the degree oi’ M. A. He

ceived holy orders in England

and entered the Anglican priest-

Prince Edward Island, but he

ad not been in Canada since that lille.

Mr. Cogswell held many charges England. I-le was for a number .Vcars senior curate at St. James hureh, Bristol. and had been rec- r of Wapley and Codrington par- hes in Gloucestershire for about years.

A man of scholarly attainment, r. -Cogsweil was the author of

many articles published in news- upers and periodicals, and he had evoted considerable time to the

Pd _ p writing of the history of the parish

which he was rector at the time

Ui his death. He was universally be- loved and esteemed, and devoted himself unceasingly to the spiritual welfare of those in his care and the service of his Master.

Of the family of five children,

there is only one sister, Mrs. H. McLeod, Vancouver, surviving. Mr. Cogswell`s wife was formerly Miss .Mary Isabel Morris, _who was born in Scotland. She died previously. ,Surviving are three sons, James-E. .Cogswell, in the emoployee of N. B. Publishing Co., Ltd., Arthur in Fal- mouth, Cornwall, and Gordon Al- exander, at home in Gloucester- shire. Anotherson, Daniel Fred, died in England a few years ago, He also leaves four grandchildren.

The funeral took place at Wap-

ley. .

ST. DUN STAN’S

(Continued from Page 1) _&_________ torney for thc defense, was acted by Mr. R.. Wadup, who performs his heavy part in a most creditable manner. Mr. Robert Cain, as Judge Carlyle, father of Jimmie, interp- reted the character very realistical- ly.

The part of Joseph Hampden was

taken by Mr. M. McQuald who hnadled the difficult role of villain cleverly and convincingly. Another unscrupulous character was Jack- son Multen, who was represented by Mr. J. Doyle. The latter gave a skilful interpretation of a rather difficult part.

One of the leading female char-

acters was Beth Winters, the kid- napped daughter of Hampden. Mr. T. Butler proved himself a versa- tile impersonator in this role. Mark Nelson, intimate friend of Beth, was represented by Mr. Clarence Murphy, who played his important part with energy and skill.

In the role of Dorothy Chandler,

the charming stenographer. daugh- ter of Hampden, working in dis- guise in thc office of Carlyle, was Mr. Plus Callaghan. He took the difficult part of s female charac- ter to Pcrfection.

The comedy element was sup-

plied by Mr. A. McGuigo.n, as Fred- die Warren, clerk in Carlylc's of- fice, and Mr. J. 0'i-lanlcy, as Allic Tralnor, the girl next door. In their involved love affair they cap- ably fulfil their mission of bringing laughter.

The role of Elsie, the maid in the

Carlyle home, is filled by Mr. J. McAu1ay, who played his part con- vincingly and well.

Many interesting scenes are, en-

acted as the difficulties and prob- leins of the players arc ironed out.

As specialties, Mr. Clarence

Pinesu and Mr. Francis MacMil- lan each rendered much appreciat- ed vocal solos. A comic dialogue wll given by Messrs. 0. Caron and lt. Moffat. Orchestra numbers were rendered by Miss Kathleen Hom- by'l orchestra. The play which was under the

auspices of the Knights of Colum- bus and under the patronage of His Worship Mayor Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, will be repeated tonight when it is hoped that there will be

Early Training

It is one of the marks of it true

democracy that its leadership is not confined to any single class. Judg- ed by this standard there are few democracies that have been so suc- cessful as that of Great Britain Some of its leaders, like Lord Salis- bury, might be described as the flower of the aristocracy; others. like Gladstone, have been brilliant scholars. Strange adventurers. 1lK¢ Di.-neu uni Lloyd George. have el' so appeared on the scene; while still others have come from the very huinblest walks of life, Amon! Wll°m Ramsay MacDonald may be nlm°<l- The latter was born in the llttld fishing village of Lossiemouth. 011 the Moray Firth, Scotland, some 07 years ago. ' I-le owed much to the early training of his mother and the village school master. from V110!" he received grounding in such sub- goat; gg Latin, Greek, mathematics, angina literature, history. u veil as "e fearsome dose of the shorter catechism.” It was a regime that

battle for political power which had resulted in the dissemination of the franchise, the rig/his of free speech and of. a free press. All the-Se things

sions between Conservatives and Liberals were largely passing away. New problems were beginning to emerge-'problems no longer wn- cerned with politics but with econo- mics and of an improved social or- der. The group to which Ramsay MacDonald allied himself were fal- ling beck on dreiuns as old as the human race,-dreams such as have inspired the pen of Plato and find place in the writings of Isaiah, of Augustine, of John Calvin and Jean Jacques Rousseau; visions of an ideal state, of a republic in which liberty_ to be achieved is not merely ' in terms of politics but of economics and ofihuman life.

Inspired by these ideals, MacDon-

ald entered ustfully into the move- ment of his time and became its chléf organizer.

Prior to this event, s great love

had come into MacDonald's life. The lady whom he married, Margaret Ethel Gladstone, was a niece of Lord Kelvin and his acquaintance with her having begun at St. Thomas Hospital where Ramsay, then a Labour candidate, was ill. Their happy life together was described and some quotations of singular beauty and feeling from the book which he subsequently wrote about his wife after her death were read to the audience.

The year 18.92 saw the first ap-

pearance-in the House of Commons of e. Labour member - Mr. Keir .Hardy-who shocked the orthodox by arriving preceded by a brass band and wearing workman's clothes and s. cloth cap. It was not until 1900, however, that MacDonald en- tered Parliament as a Socialist. This led the speaker to the various mean- ings given of Socialism as a system of remedial legislation or of state control, in whole or in part, of the implements of production.

M.acDomld's Socialism

“MacDonald’s meaning of Social-

ism, I think," said Professor Thom- son, “wculd be that it was nothing in particular; at least it was not this or that particular programme. It was a. philosophy of life. In the great book which he has written ex- pounding Socialism it does not ap- pear as a. cut and dried programme. or as something that can be expres- sed in any precise form. He lays it down as s gospel of social life, a point of view, a developing prin- ciple, something that he would des- cribe probably as being the good of all rather than the good of the few; an order of society in which the rights of the community took pre- cedence over the rights of the in- dividual. He saw this as developing along ii wide front, not merely in political legislation but in literature, in art and in education."

Next Prcfeuor Thomson dealt

with the war period. and the dis- favour into which Ramsay Mac- Donald fell by reslpn of his declared attitude of neutrality and pacifism. John Bull, "an execrable journal of the time," never failed thereafter to refer to him as "Ramsay von Mec- Donald," and when he wanted to get away to meet some of his fam- ily in Sweden, no sailing ship would take him as A passenger. In the lei! election he was ignominiously defeated.

MacDonald was then described as girding himself for his great life tok, that of bringing about in-

aomchcw, out of its harsh discipline. produces men; and in young Mac-

Donalds one ii was productive of

temational peace and Ipod-will. The combination of Liberal and Labor support pieced him in pow-.

cr ill 1923 as thc first Labour Prime Minister of Great Britain. His party, however, had no major- ity, and hc could only appeal for support on certain n0n-controver- sial measures. Nevertheless. he had a. distinguished cabinet. including such men as Sir Philip Snowdon William Grahame, J. H. Thomas, Lord Haldane, Lord Sankcy and was able to effect some important legislation. Particular emphasis in this connection was placed on thi housing scheme introduced by Mr. Wheatley, then Minister oi Health. which gave employmcni to many thousands and was one oi the most beneficial measures in» iroducezl since the war. Reference was also made to the steps taken to bring about ri reconciliation with Germany and repair the er- rors of the Versailles treaty, as well-as of the acliicvcmcnts of Snowdon and Grahame in financial matters.

Passing reference was then made

to the “Red” letter and the cam- pa'gn against the MacDonald min- istry. This brought the speaker tc the increasing financial difficulties of the country which eventually

resulted in the formation of I'

National Government.

Coalition Formed

In deciding to form a coalitioi.

Mr. MacD:~na.ld did "an incredib- ly great thing,” the speaker said “He turned his back on all that he

had built up within the past forty years. on the great Labour patty with its promise for the future, all that he had given his energies of body and mind for. all that his friendship had established: and he decided to stand behind thc man to whom he was opposed for years Mr. Stanley Baldwin. Whatever wc may say about it, whether we ap- prove or disapprove; it seems to me to have been a very great thing indeed.

"Has he ceased to be s. Socielisti

He tells us that he is more a. Soc- ialist than ever, because of thi stand he has taken in seeking nat- ional stability and intemational co-operation. He says he is stand- ing for the good of all, and thai when we come through this criti- cal time hc will give himself to the tasks to which he has dedicated his life.

“What of his fu-tum? I suppose

most observers will suggest that his ultimate destiny will be in that strange meeting place. the House of Lords. Certainly I do not think the Labour Party will cver take him back again. They regard him as the arch traltoi' to the party. It would seem that~ the only destiny for this man is» some place where he will bc leading no party. where he will be giving his contribution to the state. But all that lies on the knees of the gods. At present he is Prime Minister of Great Britain."

In closing Professor' Thomson

gave some illuminating personal impressions of Mr. MacDonald; first as the flaming prophet, the “soap-box orator," talking in won- derful lenguage to the crowd, with his grey hair blowing in thc wind: next as the experienced parlia- mentarlan, speaking iii the House of Commons, a. master of procedure as well as of language; ~thlrdly with his family on the sands at Lossle- mouth, back in his native haunt: where he has built his summer home on the place where his moth- i-r‘s cottage used to stand: and lastly as a humble worshipper in the Prcs‘.vyterian Church at Lossle- mouth, `whic.h he attends every

Sunday wliilc 'at home."

“I think," concluded the speaker.

"wo shell enroll him truly among the great forces of the world. However the future will appraise him, at least we shall say that hc has deserved well of his country and he has 'entered in at the

higher gat(-’."

A standing vote of thanks. mov-

ed by Professor G. D. Steel and seconded by Mr. S. A. MacDonald. was tendered to Professor 'Biom- son by the chairman, who also add- ed his own words of appreciation.

Preceding the address an enjoy-

able programme was given by Miss Bums and Miss Sterns in a piano duet and by Mr. Roy smallman iii a vocal sflo. with Prof. Kendall as accompenistf
