Presbyterian Record V.8 (1883) p.73-74 From Rev. Dr. G. L. Mackay to Rev. Professor Maclaren


Another old convert has joined the throng above. She( 劉遠嫂 ) was a member of the Sin-kang (新港) chapel and was baptised Nov.4th,1877*. Since the opening of the chapel in 1873 she was a faithful hearer of the gospel. The day on which she left this world she was sixty-three years of age. I saw her on her death-bed and was delighted. She always reminded me of a Highland women in Zorra, Giengarry, or my dear fatherland.

She said to me, "For several years I thought you only wanted to deceive our people; but now I know why you travelled barefooted over mountain and valley. I love to think of the home I am going to. God forgive me for treating you first with contempt. God save me. Peace be with you."

 *按:1877年11月4日受洗者共15人[參見《教會史話》531]:除上述劉遠59歲(1893年死)及劉遠嫂58歲外,有劉閩嫂47歲,劉和嫂31歲(1888年9月20日死),劉乞67歲(1879年6月24日死),劉乞嫂71歲(1879年6月28日),劉法32歲(1888年11月28日任執事),劉法嫂30歲,劉阿睨41歲(1889年6月7日死),劉安閂45歲(參見《教會史話》 532),劉永勝25歲,劉福嫂69歲(1884年5月4日死),劉換5歲(女),鍾有年62歲,鍾有年嫂63歲。
