IT is with very deep regret that we have to record this month the death of the Rev. John Robertson, retired minister, who passed away at his residence, 22 Forsyth Street, Greenock, on Monday morning the 21st December. Mr. Robertson, who was in his eighty-fifth year, enjoyed up to about a year ago remarkably good health, and was regularly engaged in active duty, conducting English services in connection with St. Jude’s, Glasgow, and with our Hall in Greenock. Mr. Robertson was a good scholar, a sound evangelical preacher, and a truly godly man of a refined, gentlemanly bearing. His removal is a decided loss to the Church and the community as well as to his own family with whom we express the deepest sympathy. We hope (D.V.) to have a more extended notice in a future issue from the pen of the Rev. Neil Cameron, St. Jude’s, who is at present (22nd December) absent in London. May the Lord sanctify the voice of death to all who remain! “The memory of the just is blessed.”
