HUGH MACKAY was the oldest son of a large family born and brought up at Strathy Point. From his youth, like the rest of our ruined race, he went astray doing the will of the flesh and of the mind. When a young man he served his time as a soldier in the Army. After leaving the Army he came home and married in Strathy Point where he brought up a large family. During this time it could not be said that he feared the Lord. It was not the Lord’s will to leave him always in this state. He took a severe illness several years ago and he was never so strong after it. It was some time after this that it was seen that he was concerned about the salvation of his soul. His sins revived and he cried to the Lord for mercy, and, we believe, that the Lord who came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance heard his cry. He became a full member of the Church in 1924. For some time after this he took part in the services in the Church. For about two years before his death he was not able, owing to the state of his health, to attend the outward means. Friends who visited him during this time could see that he loved Zion. He would inquire how the Lord’s cause prospered far and near. He died on the 10th of October, 1930, and his body was buried in Strathy burying ground, we hope united to Christ till the resurrection. We miss him very much from the Church and from his home in Brawl where he stayed latterly. We sympathise much with his widow who lost a kind husband, and also with the family, and pray that the Lord may give them grace for comfort and to call on His name now.—M. M.
