Prior
to going to the war Ernest Gowty, who grew up in Aberdeen Street Baptist Sunday
School, was a chorister and one of the most regular attendants.
News of his death when fighting for his
country somewhere in France recently came to hand and yesterday a Memorial
service was conducted by the Rev. A. D. Shaw.
The
deceased influence in the church and school had been felt in the past; now they
valued more highly than ever his good qualities. “ he being dead, yet speaketh” We honoured the brave. Who will return no
more.
A large
number of the Protestant Alliance Friendly Society were present.
The
choir sang “Crossing the Bar under the conductor ship of Mr A McCaskill who by
special request sang ‘He Careth for Me”
