IN MEMORIAM SERVICE. At the evening service on Sunday last at St. Luke's Church of England, the Rev. R. A. Scott preached a memorial service on the life of the late Rev. Andrew Toomath who was rector of the Yea Church some 45 years ago, and whose obituary notice appeared in our last issue. The preacher chose as his text the words "I am among you as - He that, serveth" (St. Luke Xxii, 27). In his opening remarks, the reverend gentleman said; "These are strange words for a text at such a service as this, a service in memory of one whose voice sounded within these walls, but has now, after years of suffering, been called beyond the vale. Yet I have chosen them with a purpose, because they seem to me to be the keynote of the life of Andrew Toomath. Some of you remember what a strenuous life this man lived when clergyman here 45 years ago. Travelling was not easy, distances long, yet he spared not himself in carrying the glorious gospel news from place to place, helping wherever he saw the need. His work was conscientiously done and I am sure those who knew him best will agree that the dominant note of his ministry was "I am among you as he that serveth." He heard God's call while a schoolmaster, and obeyed the "Follow Me,"' Yea was his first parish, and part of this building in which we worship was built greatley by his effort. Since then many voices have proclaimed the “Old, Old Story" within these walls, but none more faithful, more earnest more desirous of serving their fellow men for Christ's sake than he who passed away at the good old 82. His life was a consecrated life and such should be the effort of every Christian to make his life a life of service - to go in and out among his fellows in the spirit of our text.- I am among you as he that serveth. Vast opportunities for service are open to all." The preacher made further reference to the life of the Rev. Toomath whilst rector of the Yes parish, and held his life up as an example for others to follow. During the service appropriate hymns were sang and the choir rendered the anthem, "Across the Bar." The congregation was a large and attentive one.
