REV. G. LINDSAY The death occurred at his residence,Riccarton, yesterday of the Rev. George Lindsay, retired minister of the Presbyterian Church, aged 87 years, who had been in failing health of recent years. The greater part of Mr Lindsay’s active ministry was at Invercargill, where for twenty-three years ho was minister at St. Paul’s Church. In those years he was one of the leaders of his church in that centre of Presbyterianism. Mr Lindsay retired from the charge of St. Paul’s in 1911. He had suggested to his congregation some years before that it might be better for the parish to have a change of ministers, and that, especially, the congregation might wish to have a younger man to lead it, but on that occasion he yielded to a strong appeal from the largest- congregational meeting ever held at St. Paul’s to remain in Invercargill. For two years Mr Lindsay was at St. Clair, Dunedin, and then for five years at Southbridge, retiring from active ministry in 1918. For the last fifteen years he had lived quietly at Riccarton. ' .
