Great Beyond at an early age, and he later married Miss Alicia R. Weeks of Alber- ton, P.E.I., who survives him. He labored forty—six years in the active ministry, thirty-seven of which were spent in the NB. and P.E.I. Conference. He so fully enjoyed the confidence of his brethren that they bestowed upon him the highest offices in their power to give. He was chairman of District, President of Con- ference and a delegate to the General Conference. Rev. Matthew R. Knight was assigned to the Alberton, P.E.I. Circuit from 1883 to 1886. In 1912 he was transferred to the Nova Scotia Conference and labored on the Mill Village, Digby Neck and Shubenacadie Circuits. He superannuated in 1921 and settled in Avondale, Hants Co. Nova Scotia, where he spent the residue of his years in well—merited quiet. The members of his family that survive him are: his widow, and a daughter Gussie A. at home, and three sons, John in Hamilton, Ont., Rev. Arthur S. in New Jersey, U.S.A. and Frederick C. in Toronto. As a preacher he was deliberate and thoughtful. His method was expository and informing, while his message was enforced by an earnest appeal. No one questioned his sincerity and his entire ministry was characterized by a whole hearted and consecrated fidelity to the work of the Master. Having passed the limit of man’s alloted time and realizing that his hold upon life was growing less, he calmly looked into the future with a radiant hope assured of the all sufficiency of Divine Grace. The end came suddenly but peacefully.’ ’ ” REV. WILLIAM E. REYNOLDS 1886 - 1887 From a large family brought up in the Township of Cartwright, Ontario came four brothers who entered the ministry, namely, Francis D., Robert 8., George S., and William E. Reynolds. Of these, the subject of this obituary notice was the youngest — only the eldest survives. William E. was converted to God in early life, and entered the Christian ministry in 1880, and gave over 39 years of earnest, energetic, and acceptable service. Of splendid physique, possessing a fine type of mind, of scholarly tastes, a ready extempore speaker, he was a preacher above the average. He travelled successfully such fields as Athens, Kemptville, Cornwall, Perth and Morrisburg, Ontario. On every field he gave full proof of his ministry. Rev. Reynolds entered the ministry of the Bible Christian Church in 1880 and remained until the Bible Christians and the Methodists joined as one deno- mination in 1884. In 1882, he served the Bible Christian Church in Wheatley River, P.E.I., and in 1883, Rev. Reynolds was pastor of the Bible Christian Church in Murray Harbour, P.E.I. 29 Minutes of the Methodist Conference, 1926. 84
