"The late J. Lester Douglas was I man of infinite chum; he was the soul of hospitality and he de- rived much pleasure from his many little -unrsmemabered deeds of kindness and consideration. I well remember his good counsel when I first came to Ottawa. We shared the same office for three years and I shall never forget his kindness to me during that time.

"Lester Douglas was highly re- garded by his constituents. It was s moving sight indeed to see the large numbers from all walks of life who filed past his collln to take a last look at their late well- beioved representative. To his widow and children. I offer my deepest sympathy.

"I am sure my constituents would also like me to pay at this time. a brief tribute to the mem- ory of the late xi. Ewen Matthews.

u for he was born in the county of

Prince some so years ago and spent the only part of his life in Prince Edward Island before leaving his native province to make his home elsewhere. It is interesting to recall that the late Mr. Douglas and the late Mr. Matthews were close friends. and, in Charlottetown some 40 years ago worshipped God in the same church."
