Notes - MRS. HANNAH BRYCE was one of the old members of the church, uniting with it under the pastorate of the Rev. W. T. Murdoch in 1863. She was born in Mid-Lothian, Scotland, lived in Auchindinny and Roslin after her marriage, and attended the Glencorse parish church with her husband, who wrought in the Roslin and Stobbs powder mills. They lived also at Gorebridge, where she enjoyed the ministry of the Rev. Cathcart Leslie, of the Established Church. This church was two and a half miles away from where they lived, while the United Presbyterian Church was only half a mile away, so that to the Sunday School of this church the children went a wonderfully liberal course of action at that time! Of this Sunday School, Mr. James Donaldson was superintendent. This Mr. James Donaldson was the late Rev. James Donaldson, of Galt, the father of Mr. A. G. Don aldson, and husband of Mrs. Donaldson, who are both members of the Central Church. Mr. James Donaldson was a scholarly, able, and highly respectable minister of the United Presbyterian Church in Scotland, and of the Canada Presby terian Church in this country. He was in infirm health some years before his death. He had hosts of friends who were strongly attached to him, and loved to see his bright intelligent face, and to hear his large discourse of general affairs, and especially of scriptural truth. He was an able and eloquent expounder of the sacred Scriptures. He died on September 10th, 1900. Mrs. Bryce and her family came to Canada in 1855. On the voyage they suffered shipwreck on the Bird Rocks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and they lost everything. They were picked up and landed at Pictou, Nova Scotia, where they were kindly and hospitably entertained for seventeen days by the late Mr. George Pringle, of Queen Street, Galt, who was at that time living in Pictou. On coming into this western country they settled on the Clyde farm, where Mrs. Bryce lived out the term of her life, dying in 1901. When they settled on the farm they felt keenly the loss of the religious services to which they had been accustomed ; for this to people of her class was almost their entire world. Add to the home life, the church service, and a friendly neighbor or two, and you have their complete sphere of existence. In those early days Mr. Bryce s first team was one of oxen, and not suitable to go to church with. But Mr. Oliver Goodfellow, a neighbor, had horses and a lumber waggon in which he and his family went to church. In this Mr. Bryce s family found a placd and gladly went, too, and this gave Mrs. Bryce great joy, for her nature was deeply religious. The Bible formed about her the atmosphere she breathed. By its teaching she lived. And she was always of a sweet spirit, a bright face, a pleasant voice, sounding out the Mid-Lothian doric in an exceedingly attractive way. One felt rested in heart after being with her a little while in conversation. She had very high appreciation of the ministers under whom she sat. Among her treasures was a small pamphlet by the Rev. Wm. T. Murdoch, entitled: " The Gospel of Grace Vindicated." At church, always in her place when it was at all possible, she was an earnest and devout listener, never tiring of hearing of the Saviour s love, having a deep inward conviction of the truth as it is in Jesus. Next to her Bible, she valued good, sound religious books ; among her favor ites were: Baxter s " Saints Rest ; " Alleine s " Alarm to the Unconverted ; " Willison s "Afflict ed Man s Companion ; " Rutherford s Sermons, and Spurgeon s " Saint and his Saviour." She was a faithful, kind, devoted mother, and trained her children with Christian care. One of them, though very small at the time, remembers yet the preacher s desk, the high pulpit and the ten commandments on either side of the pulpit, and the tunes that were sung. A fragrant memory this to carry in life! An uplifting memory! Mrs. Bryce, after a brief illness, went home full of faith and of years, dying as she had lived.
