Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.
He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved ;
But he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.
Mark X. VI. 15. 16.
Erected in loving remembrance by Christian Brethren in Australia and Tasmania
Away from his home and friends of his youth, he hasted :
The herald of mercy and truth, for the love of the Lord, and to seek the lost ;
And he fell like a soldier : He died at his post.
