THE subject of this brief notice, the late Mr Kenneth Graham, was born at Achiltibnie in the year 1837, and died there, very suddenly, on his way to attend public worship, on the 4th June 1925, at the ripe age of 88 years.
It seems he was first awakened to a realisation of his lost condition as a sinner during the Communion week at Coigach in 1899, and admitted a member in full communion in 1906. His awakening was destined not to swiftly vanish after the manner of the morning cloud and the early dew, but to permanently abide and bear the fruits of righteousness. He had deep convictions of sin and guilt which caused great dejection for a considerable time, and left their distinctive marks on his strong bodily frame, which never afterwards was quite so robust as formerly.
The time or the means whereby he was brought to taste that the Lord is gracious cannot now be determined, but that he partook of God’s mercy, love, and grace in Christ’s benign salvation was abundantly proved by a humble, loving, and steadfast Christian walk to the end. Of him we may justly say—”Our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world.”—D.
