AFTER reaching an advanced age this faithful member of the church passed peacefully to her eternal rest some time ago. Her father was one of our missionaries for a time in Staffin and will be remembered by some for his striking personality, fine Christian character and zeal for God’s Cause. His daughter inherited some of his characteristics and through grace they were directed into channels serviceable to Christ and His Kingdom.
For many years she collected the Sustentation Fund and was most loyal to the Church and its principles. Christ’s Cause was precious to her and that is one of the marks of His flock. One unusual practice she had showing the devotedness of her mind to Christ’s claims was that of going to church first after an illness on being kept indoors for any time, before doing any worldly business or engaging in social duties.
Miss Munro proved her love for the Cause not only in her daily conduct but also in a practical manner by leaving the most of her small estate to the Free Presbyterian Church or sections of it in this respect setting a worthy example to others with no dependants, who could help Christ’s Cause very much by doing likewise.—D.
