Could it be Paterson Smyth, by any chance?

[Maggie1895]

Finbar's suggestion looks fair to me, but I did wonder if the second half might be Forsyth rather than Smyth?
Maggie 1895

p.s. Where did it come from?

Thanks guys,

Thanks for all the help guys. I was able to find the church and the name was John Patterson Smyth.

       Venerable John Paterson Smyth, who was, himself, originally from Ireland, graduating from Trinity College, Dublin.  He was
       Rector of St. George's from 1907 until his retirement in 1926.  He became the Archdeacon of Montreal in 1924. He was also the
       author of a number of books.

Kindest Regards
