Dedication
In Memoriam.
Revd John Graham.
The faithful Minister of this Church for 12 years from 1864 to 1876.
He was an eloquent and persuasive preacher.
A tender and sympathizing Pastor.
A genial and warm hearted friend.
On many public occasions he stood forth in defence of the Gospel, and as a champion of the civil and religious liberty that we have in Christ.
Through his untiring exertions this edifice was rebuilt and enlarged and the school and class rooms adjoining were erected.
He died while on a visit to America, the 1st day of August, 1879.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 11. Timothy, 4. 7.
