Many years /after hetold <strong>the</strong> writer that, although he was ev·en a deacon some timebefore he joined <strong>the</strong> F.P. Church, it was after that took placethat <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit applied <strong>the</strong> truth as it is in Christ and Himcrucified to his conscience and heart. 'l'his was true in <strong>the</strong> case<strong>of</strong> many who were even preachers <strong>of</strong> God's Word for many yearsbefore <strong>the</strong>y were truly converted, such ;as <strong>the</strong> Rev. RoderickMacLeod, Snizort, and Rev. Norman MacLeod, North Uist, etc.He acted as a deacon in St. Jude's since he joined it in 1893 till<strong>the</strong> year 1911.

He would not accept <strong>of</strong> any salary from<strong>the</strong> Church for his work; all that he would accept was his board,lodgings and travelling expenses. He senTed for some time inso many places that none <strong>of</strong> our laymen were so well known as hewas througbout <strong>the</strong> most <strong>of</strong> our congregations. He was in ourLondon Mission several times-in all about two and a-half years·,and gave great satisfaction to our people <strong>the</strong>re.
