BY REV. WILLIAM MATHESON, CHESLEY, ONTARIO.
DURING the few years since I last reported on the removal by death of some from amongst us here, others have been called away, of whom some mention may well be made. These all worshipped with us whenever opportunity offered. Amongst them were Mrs George Forrest, of whose hospitality and kindness several of our ministers had experience. Mrs Roderick Macrae, Detroit, formerly of Kincairdine, a discerning and warm-hearted lover of the godly; Mrs James Ramage, Chesley, who loved His Word and prized His testimony; Miss Rebecca Finlayson, Lochalsh, young in years, as compared with these, whose care was to be found following in the footsteps of the flock; Mrs William Elliot, Chesley, quiet and retiring, but constant in the way of the Lord; Mrs Catherine Scott, Chesley, faithful, discerning in doctrine, and warm-hearted under a rugged exterior; Mrs Mary Taylor, Carman, Manitoba, gentle, quiet, sterling, and of profound, unaffected piety; Mrs David Mackenzie, East Williams, faithful, retiring, sincere, endowed with sanctified commonsense; William Elliot, Chesley, a lover of truth and of the right ways of the Lord; and now another of our Elders, William Kyle, Chesley, afflicted with blindness, but looking on the things unseen and eternal with his face set Christward with purpose of heart.
