won quite a place for himself in the field of Church Law. Retiring to live in Halifax, he passed away in February, 1962. The Reverend W. Bruce Muir succeeded Dr. Mulligan as Minister in 1925 and served until his death in 1930. The Kirk Session records that Mr. Muir “gave strenuous and faithful service to S. James and also to the Church at large; was an ardent champion of the rights and liberties of the Church of his fathers; expounded and preached the Word of God with zeal and power, and devoted his many gifts to the extension of Christ’s kingdom and to the welfare of the community.” v

The Reverend Robert Moorhead Legate assumed the pastorate in 1930 after a distinguished career in the Presbyterian Church in Sydney and Brisbane in Australia, in Suva in the Fiji Islands, in Saint John, New Brunswick, and in Burlington, Ontario. Dr. Legate had a fruitful service of eleven years in the Kirk. Known to many still in the Kirk were his gentle spirit, his loving heart, his under- standing gifts and graces, and the depth and fidelity of his con- secration to the offices of preacher, pastor, priest and presbyter. A native of Ballyclare, Ireland, he served the Church all his life far from his homeland. He died at “Penmarvian”, Paris, Ontario, December 27th, 1945.

On September 25th, 1941, the Reverend Thomas Henry Bus- sell Somers, M.A., S.T.M., was inducted as the fourteenth Minister of the Kirk, the first Canadian to occupy this office. A native of Toronto, a graduate in Arts of its University, and in Theology of Knox College, he was ordained by the Presbytery of Westminster in the City of Vancouver on May 4th, 1939. Upon completion of his appointment there he took post-graduate work in the field of Old Testament Literature, Exegesis and History, at Union Theological Seminary in New York, and from that institution he was called to the Kirk and has served as Minister for the twenty— one years that have since elapsed.

That you, as a visitor to this historic and beautiful Church, may be richly blessed as you sojourn here and worship with us is the earnest hope and desire of its People, its Office-bearers, and its Minister.

“The Lord preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” T.H.B.S.
