CALLED BY HIS MASTER.Rev. James Herald* After a Short Illness Breathes His Last—His Life and Work.Rev. James Herald pastor of the Presbyterian church died suddenly at 2l\30 o’clock, Tuesday evening after a short but severe illness. He was only seriously ill for twelve days though he had been suffering from nervous prostration and its aceompauing weakness all winter. Just before Christinas he had a severe attack of influenza, from which he did not appear to thoroughly recover although he resumed his regular services, which only ceased with the commencement of his last illness. The immediate cause of deutli was embolism of the heart. He was attended by doctors Giver and Bret, the latter being called in as consulting physician. Dr. Lafferty of Calgary and Dr. Newburu of Lethbridge were also called, but owing to having critical cases of their own, were umiblo to attend.

His aged widow and liis daughter, Mis. Ewatf, who alone, of all his large family, were enabled to bo with him during his trying illness, are stricken with grief though both bear their great loss with Christian fortitude. The other members of his family, two of whom live in Port Arthur, one in Pundaa* one in the United States and three iu Kingston, have been communicated with, but none of them could ar rivo in time for the funeral. Universal sympathy is felt here for the entire family in their heavy bereavement and expressions of condolence atid sorrow are being received from friends at a distance.
