The late M1". Angus Fmsel', Elder, St. Jude's, Glasgow. 57).He lattended Hope Street Free Church, and sat under theministry of the Rev. 111:r. Urquhart, who was truly a messengersent from God to sinners in Glasgow. After M1'. Urquhart wasremoved to his everlasting rest, Angus continued his connectionwith Hope Street Free Church. He became a member in fullcommunion with the Church, and also a deacon during thefourteen years he continued there.Soon after the Free Presbyterian Church was formed in 18913,Angus, from a sheer sense of duty to God, to his own soul, andto the souls of his fellow men, joined it. Many years /after hetold the writer that, although he was ev·en a deacon some timebefore he joined the F.P. Church, it was after that took placethat the Holy Spirit applied the truth as it is in Christ and Himcrucified to his conscience and heart. 'l'his was true in the caseof many who were even preachers of God's Word for many yearsbefore they were truly converted, such ;as the 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 tillthe year 1911. There was an election of office~bearers that year,and he was elected to the office of the eldership by a largemajority of the members. On account of the number of placesto be supplied Sabbath after Sab-bath, the elders of St. Jude'shave been called upon to help in overtaking the work, whichthey willingly did some times at great inconvenience to themselves.Angus was now called upon to help, which he cheerfullydid to the satisfaction of all our people and to tha,t of the Church.In the year 1913 he retired from business 'and devoted hiswhole time to the preaching of the gospel to our congregationsand preaching stations. He would not accept of any salary fromthe 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 of our laymen were so well known as hewas througbout the most of our congregations. He was in ourLondon Mission several times-in all about two and a-half years·,and gave great satisfaction to our people there. He was atPlockton Iltnd Kyle of Lochalsh during two years, and did much

During the War he supplietl ollr congregation inUUa,pool in the absence with the forcps 0 [ H,ev. A. Sutherland,and was highly thought of and appreciated by them. He wasthere for three yoars. He was at Stmthenick for four years,where he endeared himself to the people, not only on account ofhis amiable and obliging manner and condescension, but muchmore for his faithfulness to God's truth and to their souls.He had for years a great desire to visit Palestine, so in order togo there he left Stratherrick to the great grief of our peoplethere.
