Q-M

MY husband can join us before long. That's his seventh L inning stretch."

By George Clark

, gregatlons

Rev. John Keir Fraser, D11. a veteran minister of the Presbyter- ian "Church in Canada. will. on August mth, celebrate the 00th anniversary of his ordination to the ministry. Born at Alberton on August 30th, 1864. he was a son of the Rev. Allan Fraser, one of the early ministers of the Old Dock Church. His mother was Anne Keir Fraser. a daughter of Rev. John Keir. D.D.. one of the Fatiiers of the Presbyterian Church in the Marltimes.

Rev. Allan Fraser. venerated Dastor of his flock. was called to higher service while still in the prime of life. Following his death in 1870 Mrs. Fraser. with their two daughters and two sons, con- tinued to live in Alberton. Mrs. Fraser has been truly described as a gracious influence in the com- munity. The two daughters. Misses Minnie and Christina. lived their lives as highly regarded residents of their native town. The younger son became Rev. D.J. Fraser. D.D.. principal of Presbyterian College, Montreal.

John Keir Fraser received his carly education in Alberton School where he was taught by such teachers as Wellington Dixon, w.ho later became rector of a leading high school in Montreal, and John Arbuckle whose ability was well known throughout the province. Al. Prince of Wales College he studied under Principal Anderson whom he describes as "a wonderful man, a walking eiieyclopaedia." Following his course at Prince of Wales Mr. Fraser taught. school for two years-at Cavendish and at Mill River. One of his pupils at Cavendish was Lucy Maud Mont- gomery wbo was then about ten years of age. lie boarded at the home of her ;:randparcnts with whom she livr-d. Mr. and Mrs. Alexziiitler )lcNcill.

Gold Medalist

In 1885 Mr. Fraser entered Dal- houslc University in Halifax and four years later he graduated with the degree of Bachelor "of Arts.

roe Bursary. He is the vlvlng member of his class. He pursued his theological'stud-

Montreal, graduating gold medalist of his class. The principal of Presbyterian College at that time was Rev. D. II. Mc- Vlcnr, D.D.

During his theological course Mr. Fraser supplied a mission lziter became Victoria Church. He is the only living member of his class which included numbers Rev. inter editor of the Presbyterian Record for many years. and Rev. James Nalamiih who invcnted the popular game of basket. ball.

On August 36th. 1891. Rev. John Keir Fraser was ordained at his home church in Alberton and also inducted as minister of the con- gregation which had been served by his father. Rev. J. R. Coffin of Bloomfield presided at this service and the sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Carruthers -of St. James Church in Charlottetown. Principal Pollock of Pixie Hill Divinity Hall in ll.-illfax gave the charge to the poupg minister.

First Church Organ

On the following Sunday the newly ordained and inducted min- ister preached his first sermon to his first congregation. This first Sunday of Mr. Fraserls ministry marked another event in the hist- ory of the congregation for on that day the organ was first used for service on the Lord's Day. For some time it had been used for midweek prayer meetings but the tuning fork still set the pitch for psalms and hymns on the Sub- bath. some older members of the congregation opposed use of the organ but most of them became reconciled to it. The first organist was Miss Margaret Rogers. now Mrs. Cecil Stewart of Charlotte- town.

During the second year of Mr. Fraser's ministry the church hall and choir loft were built. with Mr. .lolin Donald as head carpenter. Until this time the choir sat. in the go lery. The hall was dedicated in 1 with -Rev. W.T.D. Mass, at- terwards a member of the faculty of the University of North Caro- lina, assisting in the service of dedication,

As an experience unique in his long ministry Dr. Fraser recalls a great spiritual awakening which followed the Week of Prayer aer- vlces in 1898. As was the custom Presbyterian and Methodist eon- unlted for these ser- vices which were conducted jointly by their ministers. Rev. Mr. Hicks was the Methodist minister in Albei-ton at this time. By re- quest the meeting: were continued for a second week and. by further request. for several more days. There was no excitement or un- usual outward manifestation but the Holy Spirit seemed to be pru- enl with power among the people. and His work continued in their hearts.

At the next communion season Mr. Fraser received sixty-five new members into his congregation. For a number of years he followed the careers of these mew and women and to the but of his knowledge all continued atcadfaitin the faith which they professed.

New Troul Dam In Tignish Area

-In continuation of ernment scheme for rebuilding dams throughout the Province and stocking them with trolii, the rebuilding of a dam on My- rirk's slretini near Tignish ha! been completed. Nearly a cen- tury ago a dam was built on the same spot by private inter- ests to develop water power for the operation of a carding mill and a grist mill. These two in- duslrics flourished until 1930 when they were discontinued and the mills moved to other lo- cations. During the last thirty years the rid dam gradually gavo away and the pond dried up. With the rebuilding of this dam this will once again be a popular fishing spot as it has been in the past.

On The Thames We

really cleaned up on the

a while, I went swimming in the Thames. I finished my swim and went boating. I went out with a Sea Scout in a sailboat. When I was brought back to the boat. I u-cnl out .alone in a row boat and lost the oars. There was a current causing the oars to move away from me so I had to paddle after them in the boat using my hands as ours. I had my uniform on so I could not swim after them but after a lot of paddling around I reached one and used it to get the other one.

I left at 8.00 and arrived at Hounsiow H.Q. at 8.46. We had another meal here at 9.00. We h-ad been up fairly late other nights and had had a busy day so we went to bed about 930.
