Mr. Connor always appeared to take a very great interest in church
affairs and from his indefatigable labor generally strove to be at
the head of all measures advanced in the interest of his own church.
Whether or no the congregation of the pretty Presbyterian Church on
the outskirts of the town appreciated such labor we will not say but
let the reader judge for himself.
But to the subject in question. Mr. Sharpley had no hesitation in
disclosing his mind on the present burning question.
A great inducement was to be held out to Mr. Lawson to enter into
partnership with the said Mr. Connor, Barrister. Nothing was to be
left undone in order to accomplish this scheme. The wide field,
large practice, wealth of the country; its future greatness was
pictured in a wonderfully clever manner.
Mr. Sharpley had been made acquainted with the affairs of the St.
John barrister in every particular.
Hubert Tracy had carefully noted the average salary of the latter
and found that it was only by dint of perseverance and up-hill work
that he could meet all his demands.
"The stronger the inducements the easier the job," was Tracy's
advice to the Winnipeg lawyer and it is needless to say that such
advice was carried out to the letter.
