In speaking of Mr. Wills Mac- lachlan. Dr Armitage said he was a representative Canadian with a striking powerful personality, a sturdy and faithful churchman of strong character. He was a leader with the gentle courtesy that belongs to the strong. He had the characteristics of service which was the mark of his life serving both the community and the church.
