IT is with sincere sorrow we announce the removal by death of Campbell Rodger, Esq., Rossaline, Helensburgh, at the advanced age of eighty-three years. He joined the Free Presbyterian Church at its beginning as a separate body, and continued steadfastly to uphold the principles and doctrines for which she exists to the end of his life. Mr Rodger was a humble and sincere follower of the Lamb. He was very reticent and retired in his disposition, and was solid as a rock in upholding truth and integrity in the affairs of God’s house in the world, and also in all his business with his fellow-men.
We express our deepest sympathy with Mrs Rodger and her family. Their loss, and ours, as a Church, is great; but we believe the change has been a great gain to him. “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that we sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.”
