In connection with the death at Dune-din-a few days ago of Captain Robert Strang, for many years Marine Superintendent for the Union. Company, the following motion was passed at a meeting held last evening of the office beavers of Kent-terrace Church :—"The office bearers of Kent-terrace Presbyterian Church, having heard of the death ol Captain Robert Strang, take the earliest opportunity to express their profound sorrow at the loss of an old and valued friend. They assure the widow and family of their heartfelt sympathy, and fervently pray that the relations may be sustained in their bereavement by the consolations of Divine grace and the realisation of the presence of that compassionate God Who, never far from us, is never so near us as when in trouble we need Him most. As elders and deacons we desire also to put on record our appreciation of the character of our departed brother and our grateful acknowledgment of the important services he rendered to our congregation. He. was for many years an elder, was session clerk, and aiso a Sunday School teacher, and in these offices faithfully discharged all the duties that devolved upon him. He was also a generous supporter of all pur efforts. He was a respected and •useful citizen, and was universally held in esteem by the community. He was a man of high principles, of great integrity, courteous in manner, and kindly in disposition." In moving the resolution, Mr. W. M. Hannay spoke feelingly of the loss- sustained by the death of Captain Strang. Mr. William Millar seconded the motion, and as a mark of respect the office bearers remained standing for a short space, of time.
