Pateram, who, in addressing the congregation, said that the late Mr Farr had filled, ill years gone by, a potable pliice in tlie life of the community, ana also in tho life of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church. Very many of the problems, that perplexed tho minds of the early settlers wore solved by Mr Farr'? mechanical ability, and by his capacity as an architect, and as a man of affairs. Many of tho prominent buildings in Ckristchureh, including St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, were monuments of his ability as an architect, and many of the lives and characters of tho men and women of the city 1 were oven nobler and mightier monuments of his great piety and his interest in his ffellowmen. Ho was a man always keenly interested in tho welfare of others, esiiecially of young people, and though atterly he Was laid aside, and was an invalid, it was good to remember that for many years in his prime, ho was a most active holper and worker for all those who, in any way, ho could bene{[i. The work he was mofet interested in, the speaker believed, was that of tho instruction of tho young in tho Sunday-schools, and ho had heen for many years superintendent of the Sun-day-school at Trinity Congregational Church, and after he became connected with St. Paul's congregation, ho had heen for a long time superintendent of the Richmond Sunday-school.
