A. K. L. F. H. L. P. INTRODUCTION As a: personal friend of the late Dr. John: G. Paton, I gladly accede to the request to write a: few lines com:mending this book to what I trust will be a: wide circle of readers. To know him was to love him:, and his memory will long be revered over the whole civilised world. Much has been written on his noble missionary work in the New Hebrides Islands. His whole­ hearted devotion in taking the message of Redeem­ ing Love to those in darkness, his courage in the face of difficulty, and his untiring zeal, even at an advanced age, are m:atters of well-known history. The account of his closing years in the present interesting volume will be a welcome addition, giving many glimpses of family life. These will enhance the record of his public labours, by re­ vealing the motive which inspired him and his family-if I may borrow an expression of Mrs. Paton-" a pure white heat of love." " He being dead yet speaketh," and I .trust these pages will alike quicken Church and family life in many lap.ds. KINNAIRD. LONDON, October 19, 1910. Yil PREFACE Tms is really Mr. Langridge's book-the fruit of his heart and brain. My part has been small com­ pared with his, and whatever is good in its pages is due to his literary instinct, inspired by his glowing love for his Friend and Hero. It is his tribute to the mem.ory: of one who loved him: with no common love and looked to him. to bear the burden of leadership in the great and growing work of The John G. Paton Mission Fund. That burden would have been enough to crush a: man of leisure, but, amid the ceaseless pressure of a: busy, life, Mr. Langridge has loyally and bravely carried out this labour of love. His devotion tQ John G. Paton, combined with his full and intimate knowledge, marked out Mr. I.:'angridge as the one to undertake this sketch of the Missionary's closing years. But his modesty prevented him. from. yielding to repeated and urgent pleading, and it was only: when a; joint authorshiP. was suggested that h~ r~_luc_tantly; ~on- ix X PREFACE sented. Hy doing so he has placed Dr. Paton•s family and friends under a fresh debt of obligation. That this little book may, help to quicken the pulses of missionary zeal and arous~ a: truer devo­ tion to the I:ord Jesus Christ is the prayer with which the writers send it forth upon its mission.

JAMES PATON, D.D. 2 39 DR. PATON AND HIS GRANDSON • 266 DR. JOHN G. PATON (1901) n CHAP.TER I INTRODUCTORY THE Autobiography of John G. Paton: is unique. It stands as one of the missionary classics of the world. It cannot be excelled. Its message is complete. The last revision brought the Autobiography, very, briefly, however, down to the year 1897, when Dr. Paton returned to Australia after his memorable-though not last-visit to the United States and Great Britain. Ten years later the :Venerable Missionary was called to his reward. Since that time friends of the Mission' have with persistent urgency called for some fuller information concerning the last years of the Mis­ sionary's life. By way of objection it has been suggested that enough has been said, and that the Autobiography is the best last word and suffices without any further record. It has also been urged by members of the Missionary's family and other relatives that further publicity might off end the public taste, involving as it must a lifting of the veil upon the more private life of the Missionary. And yet, when all has been s~id, th.ere remains JoM& G. Paton. 2 1 2 INTRODUCTORY in the minds of those who were most ciosely acquainted with the Missionary an immovable con - viction that the last word has yet to be said about John G. Paton. Thus, after four years' hesitation, these final chapters are given to the world. The beloved Editor of the Autobiography, the late Dr. James Paton, had always felt that the day would come for a biographical sketch of his brother's life, and had determined, should he be spared, to carry out what he considered to be a work of necessity and a summons from God. But, aias··J he, too, has gone. Indeed, his '-' passing," as will be seen, preceded that of his eldiest brother. N abler brothers never lived, and there have been woven into this volume a few threads-poor and inadequate at the best-to show the strength and beauty pf the life of the1 youngest son of the cottage home of Torthorwald. To appreciate the strong tides which in the later years of his life bore John G. Paton along into what became the racing torrent of his old age, it is necessary, briefly to recall the. problems that faced the New Hebrides Mission at the period (1884) when the Missionary had reached the age of sixty, an age when J1e, better than most men, deserved to enter upon; the. rest stage of a long, and strenuous career. From the very earliest days John G. Paton had been the sponsor of the New Hebrides Mission ships. As his book shows, he was pressed into the task, immediately after his escape from Tanna (in 1 8 6 1 ) , of securing the first schooner employed solely in the work of the Island Mission. By his efforts the first Dayspring was built, in Nova Scotia. The little vessel of I 20 tons INTRODUCTORY 8 arrived in the New Hebrides itil June, ·1·8-64, to the intense delight pf the natives of Aneityum, who regarded the ship almost as an angel of God sent to minister tOi their high~t interests. By carefully berthing the vessel during the hurricane months and 1USing her for visiting the islands only in the periods of· calm, the little Dayspring su'fficed for the needs of the Mission­ then extending but slowly for lack of fund's­ till January, 1~72. Tme, there had been: µiffi• culties in the meantime in: securing the annual cost of maintenance-about £ 1,800-hut John G. Paton was equal to the occasion. He organised the children of the Antipodes, with help from' children in Nova Scotia and Scotland, into a kind of Board of Supply, and! '-' so excellent were the arrangements and so loyal to the engagement have been the successive generations of the Sabbath School children," says Dr. Inglis, writing in 1889, " that during all the twenty-five years that the Day.spring and her successors have been afloat she has never incurred a penny, pf debt•;i she has never been: crippled for want of funds, an& she has always had a good working balance in hand/' To secure a half-yearly visit of the Mission vessel to the Group, her headquarters were shifted from Melbourne to Sydney.

The Autobiography has therefore been re-cast and illustrated, in the hope and prayer that the Lord will use it to inspire the Boys and Girls of Christendom with a whole-hearted enthusiasm for the Conversion of the Heathen World to Jesus Christ. A few fresh incidents have been introduced ; the whole contents have been rearranged to suit a new class of readers ; and the service of a gifted Artist has been employed, to make the book every way attractive to the young.

    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 7, Reeves & Sons This resource surveys suppliers’ marks on the reverse of picture supports. This part is devoted to Reeves, a business founded by Thomas Reeves and his brother, William, in about 1780 and which went through several partnerships before becoming Reeves & Sons in 1830, when Thomas Reeves took his sons into partnership, and Reeves & Sons Ltd in 1890. The business was a significant supplier of canvas from the 1830s until the 1940s. For further information, see British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950 - R on this website. Measurements of marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the stretching or later conservation treatment of a canvas or the trimming of a label. Links are given to institutional websites where dimensions of works can be found. Dates for partnerships and addresses are usually accurate to within a year. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples. Compiled by Jacob Simon, September 2017, updated February 2020, and based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon.
