sketch of the Rev- Donald hlacdouald.

Ewen Lamont, Esq., one of the late Rev. Donald Macdonald’s Eldcffil ll“ just published a short biographical sketch of the deceased minister. The pamphlet is neatly printed by Mr. Coombe, and will be gladly welcomed by many people in this colony who knew Mr. Macdonald. The sketch narrates in a succinct manner all the leadingfacts in Mr. l[acdonald’s life; and thefsotsas related may be de- pended on as Mr. Lamont either an- thenticates his statements by docu- ments or speaks from personal recol- lection.

Mr. Macdonald was for many years a distinguished and noted person in Prince Edward Island. Those who have not known him can, from this sketch form a pretty correct idea of the men : and those who knew will be glad to have this account of the wor- thy ministes-’e life. Mr. Macdonald was born in the parish of Logeirich, Scot- land, on the 1st of ‘January, 1783: was educated for the Indian Civil Ser- vice-but abandoned that calling for the Church: was licensed by the Presbytery of Abertaiil on the 2nd of August, 1816: came to Nova Scotis in 1824: to P. E. I. in 1826 where he resided and labored during the rest‘ of his life. He died at Scuthport on the 22nd of February, 1867.

Mr. Lamont is well known as an intelligent, educated man. He compresses a great number of details in small space and his account of his friend and min- ieteris exceedingly interesting; One would he ‘might have ventured, to gives more extensive life of the‘

lRev. Mr. McDonald : the reader will at all events regret that having done this sketch so admirably, he did not think proper to work up his materials gt greater length. Mr. Iamont is now

old man—was a contemporary of Mr. McDonald's, and has a knowledge of a great many facts in connexion with the early settlement of this col- ony, the memory of which will perish unless committed to print.

This life contains an app§ndix,giving a ~>ry of Mr. McDonald's churches from his, th to the present. The im ' ‘ the appendix leaves on the reader.’smindisthatMrMcDoualdmade a mistake in dis-associating himself and his people from the church of Scot- land. His churches depended for their stability and coherence on his tests-lid

talentas a man. When he disappeared hispeoplehadtocomeslffirthe vul- garroutlneof “Bonds”and“Bazaara” for raising the enacted ministerial stipends,and with the result they have split up into sections. If Mr McDon- ald bad labored in connexion with some organized church, the result of his labors would likely have been more enduring. We heartily commend this life to our readers. literary venture in this small eolonyis always a hazard- ous experiment, but we have no doubt suficient interut in Mc- Donald still existe among people to insure Mr. Iamont agaiutlou in

A few Y°“" ‘K0: when his health was better than it has been of late years, it used to be expected that any question that he discussed on Conference floor, would be done with thoroughness. Some of his speeches on education especially the one delivered years ago, in the Centenary Church were valuable contributions to Jewish and Church History. It is a distinct loss that he has not committed mnreof his extensive stores of knowledge to the safe custody of the press. His theological lecture delivered before and printed by the Mount Allison Theological Union is a credit to any scholar. His quotations from authors of various schools of doctrine and stretching over centuries, make the reader feel that he is walking in com- pany with a sure guide. That lecture inter alia also proves himself and is brother ministers to be true scriptural bishops. His powers of sound exegesis are shown here to good advantage. He possesses a library that many bishops might envy. It is choice in its selection, and doubtless has many times caused his brow to sweat when peckingand unpacking it in connec- tion with the usual itinerant wanderings of a Methodist preacher——and he knows how to use the hooksthat adorn theshelves of his library. They are intimate friends whose inmost thoughts are known to him Often it is has been asked why does not some institution of learning honor itself by adding a D. D. to his E. E. His personal character, his labors for the church and his learning all qualify him for worthily hearing such an honor. Some have suggested as a reason that he has not been so honored that there is not sulfi- cient space between the soles of his feet and the crown of his head. And when Dr. Sprague, Dr. Pope and Dr. Stewart are remembered there seems to be seine force in this explanation. But why not measure across instead of from head to foot? then it would be clearly proved that Mr. Evans '3 more than equal to any of those who have been accorded such a title. Mount Allison has no truer friend than he and the Methodist ministry contains few divines that excel him.

A journalist is not supposed to know it but it is currently reported that in the social circle he is the very embodiment of

’of humor and few men can tell an sunse- is currently believed that the archives of his brain contain among other thiugsa very liberal supply of them. Genial asacompan- ion, true as a friend, faithful as aminister, Mr. Evans is altogether a man well worth knowing. Failing health compelled him a short timeagotoresign from the active work of the ministry and to seek suparnumer- ary relation. It is cause of general regret that he is not able to.retain his phce in the active This cause prevents him from taking that active part which he formerly did in Conference debate. Not that he excelled as a debater,hut he always had something to ‘say when he spoke and generally contrived to say it well.» As treasurer of the superoumerary fund he has a work that requires all his energy.

[We need only my to Mr. Lloyd that the columns of the Grunnuuv are not sys- tematically need for the purpose of attack- ing and maligning the Church of England. Criticism does appear from time to time, but it is from members of the church whom we know to have her best interests as much at heart as our censurous friend the Rev.

Another Letter from Rev. James Simpson.

Sm,—I must again charge “Cherry Valley" with falsehood. The last time] held services at Georgetown (more than a year ago), there were over forty people present at the morning service and over lifty in the evening. As far as I can re- member every Church of England family in the town was represented. My con- nsction with Georgetown has now clos- ed. If your correspondent refers to the last time Mr. Lloyd was in Georgetown, his statement is equally untrue, as I have no doubt-Mr. Lloyd will inform you. It is very strange that “Cherry Valley" who pretends to belong to Cherry Valley, cal- ling it “our parish” should compare the services at that place with those in a church 24 miles of. '
