4 VOX Albert Edward Hetherington, B.A., B.D., S.T.M., D.D. Late Professor of Religious Education, Wesley College Albert Edward Hetherington was born about sixty years ago near Smith Falls, Ont. When he was a mere lad the family moved to Lucknow on the boundary line be¬ tween Huron and Bruce. Here his father died. In those days Huron and Bruce were sending many of their sons and daughters to the new land opening up in the west, and the Hetherington family joined with many others in the search for a new home. After a short so¬ journ near Portage la Prairie, Man., a homestead was taken up near what was known as Plum Creek in the early days, now the thriving town of Souris. Here his boyhood days were spent and here his early education obtained. While attend¬ ing school in the nearby town he lived with his sister, Mrs. Dol- madge. She noticed that the grow¬ ing lad was of a religious thought¬ ful turn of mind and was asking many serious questions. That she might aid him she secured for him the Chautauqua course of reading and entered heartily into the study of these with him. When writing a few months ago to Mrs. Dol- madge from Galipoli he recalled the study of the Chautauqua course with her and attributed much of his later interest in oriental life to that course of reading. A Wesley Student In 1889 he registered as a stu¬ dent in the second class of Wesley College and graduated in 1893 with the silver medal for general proficiency in the general B.A. course. Among the graduates from Wesley that year are such well- known names as Rev. Dr. James Endicott, Rev. W. W. Abbott, Rev. R. R. Bennett, Messrs. J. K. Sparling and H. W. Whitla. After spending the usual time on probation he went to Victoria College to complete his Theological training, where he obtained his de¬ gree of Bachelor of Divinity. After ordination he joined the B.C. Conference and in 1898 was asked to become, with Rev. Mr. Turner, the pioneer missionary to the Klondike. In this new land with its peculiar situation and dif¬ ficult problems he rendered fine service, and did a lasting work. In 1902 he returned to pastoral work in Vancouver. One of his appointments was the Chown Me¬ morial Church, where he took the lead in building the present church. The Board of this Church, through its pastor, Rev. O. M. Sandford, paid a fine tribute to the character, work and achievement of Prof. Hetherington while filling that pas¬ torate. For a short time he was a mem¬ ber of the staff of Columbia Col¬ lege, and principal of that institu¬ tion. On severing his connection with it, he went abroad to study the Old Testament and Religious Education. Part of the time was spent at the University of Chicago and part at Harvard. From the latter irtstitution he received the de¬ gree of Master of Systematic The¬ ology. Called to Wesley College He then returned to a brief pas¬ torate in B.C., from which he was called to be Secretary of Young People’s work in Manitoba, and professor of Religious Education in Weslev College. On the death of Rev. D. Stewart, he took over the
