Excerpt from Memorials of the Life and Ministry of the Rev. John Machar, D.D: Late Minister of St. Andrew's Church, Kingston Every since the removal by death of one who had been, for so long a period, the pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Kingston, it has been felt that some record of his ministry among them, as well as of his connexion with the history of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, should be preserved. Feeling, on his death-bed, deep concern for the spiritual well-being of the congregation he was so soon to leave, he said, "I am conscious of having preached the truth to my people, though in much weakness, and I wish them to remember it when I am gone." The feeling that a short memoir should be written of his life and ministry, accompanied by as many of his sermons as could be conveniently contained in the volume, has been more and more strongly felt as time has passed on.
