MEMORIAL WINDOW UNVEILED AT BLAIRGOWRIE

REV. DR M’CLYMONT ON PATRIOTISM

A REMINDER TO THE PROSPEROUS AND FORTUNATE


The memorial window, which is to the left of the pulpit, and is a lovely piece of workmanship, is in three sections, the first illustrating the words, “I have finished my course”; the second, “I have fought a good fight”; and the third, “I have kept the faith”. On a scroll at the top of the window is inscribed - “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand”; and the inscription at the foot reads:- “To the glory of God, and in affectionate and lasting remembrance of the members of Blairgowrie Parish Church who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914- 1919. Their names liveth for evermore”
