WHO WAS JOHN HALIFAX ?

John Halifax was only a boy when his parents died. He inherited from them an innate good breeding, a fine intelli- gence, a copy of the New Testament; and nothing else;" not that a boy of his calibre needed anything else,

The uprightness and hones- ty of his character, coupled with his quick wits and eager- ness to learn, took him. in the course of twenty years from poverty to affluence and earn- ed for him the respect of all honourable men.

He began his career, very humbly as a worker in a tan- nery, but he educated himself, and was promoted to the cleri- cal staff. In his early twen ties he invested his small say, ings in a woollen mill, and amassed a moderate fortune..

Trouble was never long ab- sent from his life. His be- loved elder daughter was born blind, and died at the age of eleven from small-por, con- tracted from some homeless outcasts whom her father had housed; hostile neighbours cut off the water power from his mills, and nearly ruined him; one of his sons left home" as the result of a quarrel, and was not seen again for many.

Halifax years; but John sustained by the love of his de voted wife, met all disaster. in the spirit of a true Chris- tfan gentleman.”
