He was born at Ottawa, July 26th, 1876, the son of Lachlan and Mary McQuarrie. When he was but a child his father, who was a prominent contractor, moved to the West, residing first at Winnipeg and later at New Westminster; and the education of the subject of this sketch was obtained at the public and high schools of those cities. Subsequently he studied law at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, and was called to the Bar of British Columbia in 1900.

He was educated in the Separate School and High School of his native city, and commenced his business career in 1899 as a clerk in the Ontario Bank at the adjacent town of Port Arthur.

He was re-elected in 1912 and in 1915 and 1916 was leader of the opposition at Quebec.

Dr. Cutten was born at Amherst, Nova Scotia, on April 11, 1874.

Dr. Cutten is a member of two Greek letter fraternities, the Phi Sigma Delta, and the Phi Beta Kappa, is a Baptist in religion and an Independent in politics, but he is not a Pacifist, for he has held two military commissions—Captain in the 219th Battalion, and Major in the 246th. Dr. Cutten is the author of a number of interesting books: “The Psychology of Alcoholism” (Walter Scott Publishing Company, London), “The Psychological Phenomena of Christianity,” and “Three Thousand Years of Mental Healing,” both published by Scribner’s, New York; “The Case of John Kinsel” (Psychological Review), and “The Christian Life in a Baptist Church” (Marriott Press, Corning, New York.).
