Death of Mr Alexander Macfarlane, Elder, Oban.
It is with sincere regret we record the passing away of this fine Christian and most exemplary office-bearer of our Church. Mr Macfarlane was the last of the members who composed the Free Church Presbytery in 1893, Rev. D. Macfarlane and D. Macdonald being the others. He had reached a ripe old age, and was well known and very highly respected by a wide circle of our readers. Mr Macfarlane was an affectionate, devoted father, and that affection was returned by the members of his family, who lovingly attended on him to the end. He passed away in the house of his son, Rev. D. A. Macfarlane, M.A., Oban. To him and his sisters we extend, in our own name and in the name of others, our deep sympathy with them in their loss of their beloved father. A fuller notice will (D.V.) appear in a future issue.
