Rev. F. Stacey McCall, B.A., principal of Alberta College 
in Calgary [sic], who is attending the Methodist General Conference at Hamilton, preached in the Neal Memorial Church here last Sunday night to a large congregation.

Mr. McCall is a graduate of our high school and was principal of our village school for two years before studying for the ministry.

His discourse was intensely instructive and it received  the closest attention and appreciation of everyone present.

Mr. McCall is a son of the late Mrs. F. A. McCall of 
St. Williams and a nephew of H. J. and C. S. Killmaster 
of this village. He is one of the young men who have 
gone out from among us that are making their mark in the world and of whom we are all very justly proud.

Rev. F. Stacey McCall was visiting friends for a few hours on Saturday on his way up to the old home in 
St. Williams. 

He, with Jessie Arnup, are the youngest member of the General Conference of the Methodist Church, now meeting in Hamilton, and it is singular that both were students at Simcoe Model School something less than two decades ago, and both taught school before entering the Methodist ministry.

The Rev. F. Stacey McCall of Edmonton, has been attending the General Conference at Hamilton during 
the past two weeks and came and spent the last two Sundays with his sister Edith, here. 

He was born at St. Williams some 30 years ago, and through his energy and firm determination to do his 
part in this battle of life, has succeeded in climbing 
to the position of President of the Methodist College 
at Edmonton.

He preached in the Methodist Church here on Sunday morning, 6 Oct 1918, to an appreciative audience a sermon that will long be treasured in the minds of 
those who were privileged to hear it. 

He told of the wonderful possibilities of our great northwest country, and the duty that falls to each one 
of us in giving our financial and moral assistance 
towards helping to educate the foreign masses who are and will be flocking to our country in the years to come.

May his life continue to be a success.
