• Notes

  MR. ROBERT MALCOLM. In the history of St. Andrew's Church Mr. Malcolm was a prominent figure. He was one of the most active workers, always at the front in some department of service, giving such assistance as to help it on. For a long time he occupied the Precentors desk, leading the singing with fine voice and nicely attuned ear. He was for a longer time Secretary of the Board of Managers, keeping neat and accurate records of their proceedings, and again he was chosen for the high and responsible office of Eldership, and thus the seal of the church's approval was put upon him as a sincere, Christian man. In reading the old church minutes one thing is very remarkable, namely, the excellent spirit he shows. He is so much there that we can feel his presence and mark his temper, and above all, his unselfishness. He is a man in whom the true Christian disposition is discernible without any effort to find it. A kind-hearted man, a fatherly man, a pleasant, genial man, steadfast and true, ever looking on the bright side of things. Having the true Scotch spirit in him, he was always a great man for his own church, regular in his attendance on the services, and seeking by every proper means to advance its interests. No half-hearted work was his. He gave himself wholly to whatever he did. He was away from Galt for a number of years, and when he came back he identified himself with the Central Presbyterian Church, and in it he showed the same spirit and the same active interest that had marked his previous career. He was always in his place on the Lord's day, listening as for life and appreciating the word preached. He heard to some purpose. He took it home to himself to live by, to be his strength, his comfort, his joy. The Word of God was precious to him. He had a great concern for the welfare of the church, and looked after strangers, giving them a cordial welcome, encouraging them to attendance upon the means of grace. He cheered the heart of his pastor by many a kindly word. He was helpful in many ways. His was a sterling character. He was a man who was diligent in business. No one ever saw him idling about. He was always busy. I should say that he exceedingly disliked doing nothing. He was able to attend to his business up to the last, for he was only a day or two ill when he was called home. But he was ready to enter in and be forever with the Lord. His memory as a zealous, faithful, self- forgetting, humble Christian man remains to us as a precious heritage.
