MacDougall, latterly of Fodderty.,During his retiral he conducted services at Kinlochleven fo~the Gaelic-speaking men there mostly from the IslandS whowere attracted to the place by the work which was so easily,obtained there for many years. When the slump came andthe men left for their Island homes Mr. Fraser was in thehabit of conducting services in the house of Mr. Maclennan"gardener, Port Appin. Here he was welcomed by Mr. and Mrs,Maclennan to their home. The removal of the latter by death,shortly after Mr. Fraser's decease, made a blank in that partof Argyllshire to not a few. Mr. Fraser ;ulso conducted a weeklyprayer-meeting in the house of Miss MacColl, Bracklet, Ballachulish,for many yea.rs until laid ,aside by ill-health and infirmity.,During the absence of the minister Mr. Fraser often conductedservices at Oban and his visits to this place and ministrationsthere were highly appreciated by the people. He had a livelystyle as a speaker, and being the master of ,apt illustration hisspeaking arrested and kept up the attention of the hearers. Atthe Question Meetings he was listened to with the keenestattention. Argyllshire, like other places, is being stripped of,those who bore witness that they were the followers of the Lamband one misses them when they have bidden us farewell but itis well with them though we are the poorer.We extend our sympathy to his daughter, Mrs. Mackinnon.D.S.A., and to his step-son, Mr. Edward Maekay, Collam, HaITis.Nadur an Duine 'na Staid Cheithir Fillte.AN T-AONADH DlOMHAIR EADAR CRIOSD AGUSCREIDMHICH.(Ai1' a leantuinn bho t.d' Jp. 433).Is mise an fhionaitn, sibhse na geugan.-EoIN xv. 5.Comh-dhilinidh mi nis, le labhairt ann am beagan debhriathraibh, air tUs ri naoimh, agus a ris ri pellcaich.1.
