A History Of The Scotch Presbyterian Church St Gabriel Street Montreal PDF Download

Excerpt from A History of the Scotch Presbyterian Church: St. Gabriel Street, Montreal There have been many excellent men and women con nected with the St. Gabriel Street Church besides those herein mentioned, - persons probably as worthy of having been held in grateful remembrance. But the subjects of these sketches were not, for the most part, of my choosing. The ministers, as the chief centres of the life of the church during their several pastorates, have, of course, most space given to them. Then, as it was my plan to describe the office-bearers, the elders, the members of the temporal committee, the deacons, and the trustees, were already selected to my hand: They had commended themselves to their fellows in the church in the several generations, for their zeal and supposed ability to promote the inter ests of the congregation. Besides them, a few individuals whose outstanding qualities, or conspicuous careers, gave them a claim to notice which will not be challenged, have been assigned a place in this volume.
