Diamond
Anniversary
Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Tinkler celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on July 3,
the Centennial year of Canada. Both were born in Ireland, he in Dublin
and she in County Meath. They came to Canada in 1907. They were married
that year in Winnipeg. Brother Tinkler was employed by the T. Eaton Co.
In 1909, Mrs. Tinkler's sister and her family also came out from
Ireland, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Large, Louis, Jack and Sheila. That year
the two families took up homesteads in the Goose Lake area near Vanscoy
in Saskatchewan.
In 1936, the family moved to British Columbia. They lived on
Vancouver Island, in the Fraser Valley and in 1959 moved to the Okanagan
Valley. While in Saskatchewan the Tinkler family embraced the Third
Angel's Message and were baptized by Elder Luther Long. Their daughter,
Kathleen, attended Battleford Academy. Their son, Desmond, is a minister
and is now president of the Maritime Conference. Kathleen Bayliss and
Hubert, her husband, live near her parents on the Joe Rich Road
overlooking beautiful Lake Okanagan. Evelyn Abbey and her husband live
at Creston, British Columbia. The Tinklers have five grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren. They are strong in faith and look forward
eagerly to the coming of Jesus and a home in heaven.

Arthur emigrated to Canada aboard
the Tunisian which sailed from
Liverpool on 2 May 1907, arriving in Quebec on 11 May 1907. Arthur
Tinkler is recorded as single, aged 19, a draper, born in Ireland. His
destination is Winnipeg. Also on board the Tunisian
was Anne Kilroy, whom Arthur was to marry in Winnipeg less than two
months later. Although they are not listed together in the manifest, it
seems likely that they knew each other in Ireland and booked passage
together - the two travelled using tickets with consecutive numbers, 27329
and 27330.

Autumn leaves
and cedar boughs with dahlias and gladioli formed the setting of a quiet
wedding at Chilliwack Seventh Day Adventist church when at 11 a.m. on
September 24 Viola Ruth, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Brown,
Edmonton, became the bride of Desmond Ernest Tinkler, only son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. A. Tinkler, Sardis. The ceremony was performed by Elder E.
A. Beavon, Vancouver. Given in marriage by her mother, the bride looked
lovely in a shimmering gown of India brown silk, family heirloom. Her
veil fell from a Dolly Varden hat of net. She carried an open Bible, a
present from the groom, on which lay a spray of small pink lillies. The
bride's attendant was her youngest sister, Marlene, wearing a floor
length pink silk dress with pink net bolero and carrying an arm bouquet
of baby asters and fern. The groom was supported by Elvin Abbey. Soloist
was Miss Kathleen Tinkler, sister of the groom, who rendered "Ah Sweet
Mystery of Life." Miss Evelyn Tinkler played the nuptial music, A large
number of friends from Vancouver, Chilliwack and Promontory attended. A
small reception was held at the home of the groom's parents following
which the bride and groom left for a short honeymoon to be spent at
Burns Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Tinkler will reside at Prince George.

Colporteur
Weddings
Two particularly interesting weddings took place in British
Columbia in the month of September. The bridegrooms in both cases were
successful colporteurs. Both the brides were workers in this cause, one
being a school teacher, (well known at College Heights, Alberta) and the
other a stenographer in the B. C. Conference office. Both weddings, we
are pleased to state, were solemnized in the House of God. Very
fittingly, scarlet maple leaves featured in the
decorations in both instances...
On September 24, in the Chilliwack Seventh-day Adventist Church,
Viola Ruth Brown was married to Desmond Ernest Tinkler. Together they
will engage in colporteur work and do lay missionary work in the
neighborhood of Prince George, B. C.

TINKLER-Mrs. Ruth (Brown) was born September 26,
1915, in Edmonton, Alberta, and died May 27, 1996, at Lacombe after a
lengthy illness. She met Desmond Tinkler while attending Canadian Junior
College and they were married in 1939. Spanning 40 years, from B.C. to
Newfoundland, they served together in colporteur work, Bible instructor
work, evangelistic work, radio ministry, pastoral-evangelism, and church
administration.
Ruth will be greatly missed by her daughter, Joyce Van Scheik,
grandsons Bill and Rick, one brother, and two sisters. Funeral services
were conducted by Pastors Dennis Braun and Norm How at Ponoka, Alberta,
and Pastors Walter Bergey and Marvin Suiter at the Grandview, B.C.
church cemetery. Ruth rests in the hope of reuniting with Des on the
great resurrection morning.

New
Home Missionary Leader
The man selected as home missionary leader for this growing
conference has a big responsibility. In addition to promotion of lay
activities and missionary work he sponsors the welfare and disaster
relief, temperance, Sabbath school, Ingathering and Dorcas work. It
requires a man of varied talents and gifts for such an important
assignment.
Recently the Conference Committee was in session and study was
given to the selection of a home missionary secretary. Elder Desmond E.
Tinkler, a former worker in the British Columbia Conference, was
unanimously selected for this important position.
Elder Henriksen and his committee were very reluctant to release
Elder Tinkler. They felt, however, inasmuch as his responsibilities are
to be on a conference-wide level and his position is elective they
should not stand in his way of advancement to a position of wider
service and responsibility and therefore released Brother Tinkler for
this appointment. He is well known in a number of churches and districts
of this conference where he has formerly served. His many friends in
British Columbia will welcome the news that he is returning for another
period of service.
Brother Tinkler will receive the same support and backing that
was given to his predecessor, Elder A. W. Bauer. We shall pray that the
work may move forward under his leadership and that God will bless Elder
and Mrs. Tinkler as they return to this conference.
Canadian Union Messenger 13 May 1959 p1157
A
Warm Welcome to the New President
...
Attending the session for the first time was Pastor D. E.
Tinkler, recently appointed President of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church in Newfoundland. Pastor Tinkler brings to this field a rich
experience in the departments of our work, and a most successful
pastoral and evangelistic ministry. We welcome him warmly, and pledge
again our wholehearted interest and participation in the work of the
church and pray for him the Lord's continued blessing.
Canadian Union Messenger 10 April 1963 p113
New
President For the Maritimes
The Maritime Conference Committee voted to invite Elder D. E.
Tinkler, president of the Newfoundland Mission, to be their new
president. Elder L. L. Bock, former Maritime Conference president, has
already taken up his duties as president of the Ontario-Quebec
Conference.
Elder Tinkler comes to the Maritimes with a helpful background in
pastoral, evangelistic, departmental and administrative experience. For
the past four years he gave able leadership as president of the
Newfoundland Mission. His previous service was in the British Columbia
and Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conferences as pastor-evangelist and later he
was called back to British Columbia to serve as Home Missionary, Sabbath
School and Public Relations Secretary. He was born in Saskatchewan,
while his wife, the former Ruth Brown, was born in Nova Scotia.
I am confident that the membership of the Maritime Conference
will appreciate the leadership of Elder Tinkler as he assumes his new
responsibilities. Please remember Elder and Mrs. Tinkler as they make
their plans to move to Moncton. Without a doubt their presence will be
greatly missed by all our believers in Newfoundland, but I am sure the
best will be wished for them in the Master's service.

to take up his new duties as the President of the Maritime Conference.
He and his wife have spent the past four years in St. John's,

A warm welcome goes out to them from each member of the Maritime

richly bless them as they continue their labour for the Master in the

Elder Tinkler Retires Before Sixty-five
A Poem by Mrs. Desmond Tinkler Portrays Her Husband's Various Fields
of Labour in the Work of the Church
On December 31 Pastor Desmond Tinkler retired from active service
after thirty-two years in various conferences in Canada. Beginning as a
colporteur, then Bible worker, district leader, conference president and
pastor, his years of service are summarized in the following verses
composed and recited by Mrs. Tinkler at farewell gatherings held by the
churches in the North Okanagan:
'Twas back in nineteen fifty-two at Hope Camp Meeting when
The hand of ordination was laid on four young men.
Their names were William Soloniuk, in footsteps of his father,
Mel Erickson and Harold Dawes; Des Tinkler was the other.
We wives were on the platform with befitting mien and dress.
We each felt awed and solemn for our calling, Shepherdess.
Down in the front our children sat; strict attention they did pay
For they were model preachers' kids — little angels for a day!
As Elder Branson gave the charge both Des and I were thinking,
Could this be happening to us or were we only dreaming?
For we had pledged throughout our lives colporteurs we would be
And we enjoyed that thrilling work through beautiful B.C.
But the conference had invited us Bible work to do
With illustrious evangelists, Elders Reeves and Freeman too.
After every big campaign the committee we'd implore,
"Please let us go back canvassing and be our own boss once more."
Elder Clemenson advised, "Don't be in such a hurry;
Stay with this work and we will send you to the seminary."
What a privilege this was to study in Washington
With theology instructors, Elders Froom and Anderson.
Then followed district leadership up north where folks were loggin',
Then to warmer Fraser Valley and the sunny Okanagan.
Evangelism was our theme; we held meetings here and there
In halls and tents and theatres with experiences rare.
Then came a call to Saskatoon. We there the winter spent.
The worst storms in living memory; the gales would not relent.
Till Elder Smithwick called from Mission. He phoned at midnight hour,
"For the departments you are needed succeeding Elder Bauer."
With Shasta trailer and Oldsmobile we were at home on wheels.
Our time was spent with pastors, assisting in their fields.
Next came a call to Newfoundland, the gem of the Atlantic.
Living was fun except by times me thinks it could be frantic,
For the task was multitudinous — head of departments ten,
Radio station, Book and Bible House and President thrown in.
We crossed the island many times; from shore to shore we drove
And hitch-hiked on the fish boats on trips to Cottrell's Cove.
Every time we crossed the straits, Port aux Basque to Sydney town
Des was sick nigh unto death with more meals up than down.
The next call was to Maritimes; President was on his door.
A continual round of interviews, committees by the score.
It had its compensation seeing progress in the work.
There were many trips from east to west. Not a meeting we did shirk.
The Maritimes are wonderful, the people unsurpassed.
The climate there is moderate and seldom overcast.
Then came the urge and longing to pastor once again, —
Evangelism and personal work, drawing close to souls of men.
So this he told to Elder Bothe who gave a listening ear.
"If this is your conviction, nothing need interfere."
Now in ministerial ethics when you leave a place you're gone.
You don't return or hang around nor correspondence carry on.
But Elder How called us to Vernon — we had served there twice before.
A nicer place we couldn't find. What could we ask for more.
The work has been rewarding and the greatest thrill of all
Was baptizing those who took their stand when they heard the gospel
call.
Now we are retiring — before we're sixty-five.
There are many things we want to do while yet we're still alive.
We must not lose our vision nor our mission here to spurn.
We must bend our every effort to hasten His return.
Then there'll be no more Ingathering for money or for souls;
No more funerals or weddings, no more sermons or no goals.
We will thank you heavenly Father for the privilege divine
To be workers in His cause — O what happiness sublime!
Now we'd like to have you call on us — just for old time's sake.
You'll find us nestled in the trees on the shore of Otter Lake.

TINKLER—Desmond
Ernest was born October 2, 1909 at Magee, Saskatchewan and passed to his
rest December 31, 1992 in Kelowna, B.C.
In 1952 he was ordained to the ministry at Hope camp meeting and
served in northern British Columbia, the Fraser Valley, and the Okanagan
regions. Elder Tinkler was President of the Newfoundland Conference for
four years and then became President of the Maritime Conference. Later
he felt an urge to pastor again and was called to Vernon, B.C. to work
in Evangelism.
At retirement in 1972, he and his wife Ruth set out for Solusi
College in East Africa where their daughter Joyce and her husband were
missionaries.
Shortly after their return from Africa, Pastor Desmond suffered a
stroke which paralyzed his left side. Cerebral surgery at Loma Linda
restored him to a measure of health. He and Ruth spent winters in Yuma,
Arizona where they worked in community services, and in Mexico where
they worked on Project Orphanage.
Through several surgeries and illnesses, Desmond maintained his
courage and trust in the Lord. He is greatly missed by his loving wife,
Ruth; daughter, Joyce and son-in-law Bill Van Scheik; two sisters, two
grandsons, and many friends who look forward to that great resurrection
day.
Funeral services were conducted from the Rutland SDA Church with
Pastors Todd Miller, James Fox and Harold Reimche officiating.

A Man of God
By HUBERT G. BAYLISS
I want to be a man of God—
As honest as the day is long,
To love the right and hate the wrong,
To put in weary lives a song,
And show the weak they can be strong.
I want to be a man of God!
I long to be a man of God—
True to the duty of each day,
Living the truth in a loving way,
Pointing heavenward, not to clay,
Trusting in Christ my only stay.
I long to be a man of God!
I need to be a man of God—
Filled with the Spirit, heaven's dower,
Kept by my Saviour every hour,
Walking with God while storm clouds lower,
The times demand a mighty power.
I need to be a man of God!

OBITUARY
BAYLISS, Kathleen May (Tinker)
was born in Pike Lake, Saskatchewan on July 21, 1912, the second child
of Arthur and Annie Tinkler, who had immigrated to Canada from Ireland
in 1907. Kathleen's siblings were her older brother, Desmond, and her
younger sister, Evelyn. Kathleen attended Battleford Academy in 1926 and
became the first Seventh-day Adventist in her family.
She loved prairie life on the farm until her family moved to BC in 1935.
On January 7, 1942 Kathleen married Hubert Bayliss in the Victoria, BC
church. Two daughters, Hetty and Eileen, were born to them at Rest Haven
Hospital, in Sidney, outside of Victoria. Kathleen faithfully upheld her
colporteur husband from 1948 to 1962, and all through their 47 years of
marriage. Her beautiful contralto voice inspired listeners at churches
and camp-meetings. Kathleen and Hubert were charter members of the
Orchard City Church, and during that time they operated a successful
health food store in Kelowna, BC. They loved giving out Signs
magazines, and having Bible studies. For years Kathleen
memorized the Sabbath school memory verses and could repeat it each
Sabbath. Kathleen and Hubert volunteered at the Voice of Prophecy office
in Nairobi, Kenya in 1975 and 1976, and were world travellers. Kathleen
loved God‘s creation, had extensive knowledge about birds and plants,
and loved everyone. She passed away in the Melville Lodge nursing home
in Halifax on December 26, 2012. Kathleen was predeceased by her infant
grandson, Robert Craig Moores, in 1969, her loving husband, Hubert, in
1989, and her two sons-in-law, Jim Rimmer on November 10, 2012, and
Robert Martin Moores on December 14, 2012. She is survived by her two
daughters, Hetty Rimmer and Eileen Moores, five granddaughters, Colleen
Wilkerson, Sharon
Shomette, Heather Harrington, Holly Bruestle, and Merrilee Moores, eight
great-grandchildren, Christopher, Grant, Philip, Jack, Kyleigh, Claudia,
Camille, Marina, and one great great-grandchild, Ryan.
The following Bible text seems particularly appropriate for Kathleen:
Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight
of the Lord is the death of His saints. Now Kathleen is
sleeping in Jesus, awaiting the call of the Lifegiver.
