John William Bell

John William Bell (March 18, 1838 – July 5, 1901) was a farmer and Ontario political figure.

He continued to teach religious school and hold a weekly Bible class for the local Methodist church.

This legislation was opposed by the Orange Order, of which Bell was a member, because the pope would be involved in resolving the disposition of these properties in Quebec.

Bell also opposed legislation restoring school rights for Roman Catholics in Manitoba.

In 1900, Bell was elected president of the World Council in New York City for the Orange Order.
