    Notes:

    ADAM WEIR, son of William Weir, Elder in the congregation since 1880. Adam died while yet a young man, but not before he had revealed in himself a fine Christian spirit, thoughtful, tender, gracious; and a noble devotion to the house of his God. He was a faithful helper of the minister. He seemed to charge himself with the oversight of the congregation, and any thing affecting it he was thoroughly alive unto. Any person who had come to it as a stranger; anyone who was sick or in trouble; anyone who would be benefited by a little attention he would tell me about. And he would take pains to do that. He would wait and watch for me, and make the opportunity he sought.

    He seemed to get at the heart of truth by instinct, and he did it as if by nature, with the whole force of his being. He was the embodiment of Christian kindness, and the memory of him, as one who gave himself up to the Lord wholly is very precious. He was honored by God to be a worker in His vineyard, and he did what he could, and did it with a delight that made his face radiant, and a seriousness that made his action impressive, and a love that lifted the act out of the realm of mere routine and made it holy unto the Lord. The thought of his devout and dutiful spirit, of his redeeming the time by acting at once on the touch of God's gracious Spirit, is to us a part of our glorious heritage.
