=Bethune, the Rev. Charles Jas. Stewart, M.A., D.C.L.=, the distinguished subject of this sketch, was born at West Flamboro’, Ontario, on August 11, 1838. He is the third son of the Right Rev. Alexander Neil Bethune second Bishop of Toronto, and Jane Eliza, eldest daughter of the late Hon. James Crooks. The Bethune family traces its lineage very far back in Scottish and French historical records. The first of the name who left Normandy for the British Isles came to Scotland in the reign of Malcolm the Third, a contemporary of William the Conqueror, in the eleventh century. The first of the family to come to Canada was the Rev. John Bethune, a U.E. Loyalist from North Carolina, and chaplain to a Highland regiment, who settled with his comrades in the county of Glengarry, Ontario, towards the end of the 18th century. He was the father of the late Bishop of Toronto and Dean Bethune, of Montreal, and grandfather of the subject of this sketch. Young Bethune was educated at private schools at Cobourg and Upper Canada College, Toronto. After leaving the latter institution he entered Trinity College, Toronto, and graduated therefrom in 1859 with first-class classical honors and the B.A. degree. He took his M.A. in 1861, and received the honorary degree of D.C.L. from his Alma Mater in 1883, in recognition of his zealous and worthy services at Trinity College School. He was ordained deacon in 1861 and priest in 1862, by the late Bishop Strachan of Toronto. He was curate until 1866, with his father, then Rector of Cobourg, with the exception of a short period spent in England in 1863-64, when he was curate at Carlton, near Selby, in Yorkshire. In 1866 he was appointed to the charge of the Credit Mission in the County of Peel, Ont., where he was instrumental in building the churches at Dixie and Port Credit. In September, 1870, he was appointed Head Master of Trinity College School at Port Hope. From a very small beginning he raised up this school to be one of the most widely known and successful in the Dominion. He had a staff of eight assistant masters, about 140 pupils, and large and handsome buildings with extensive grounds. He resigned the headmastership in 1899, and removed to London, Ontario, where he remained for seven years. During the greater part of that period he was curator and librarian of the Entomological Society of Ontario. He assisted in forming the London Horticultural Society and was its president for two years. Dr. Bethune gave much of his attention to scientific pursuits and he is well known in the United States and Great Britain, as likewise in Canada, as an entomologist. He was one of the founders of the Entomological Society of Ontario and its Secretary-Treasurer for seven years. He was president of the same society from 1870 to 1875, and has continued since to be a member of its council. He was entomological editor of the “Canada Farmer” for nine years, and editor of the “Canadian Entomologist” from
