Rev. James Cameron

"...the Rev. James Cameron, a remarkable man. He was well read in most things, deeply read in theology, and had a powerful and logical mind. He was a marvellous sermonizer, and kept on making new discourses at an age when most preachers are content to rely on the productions of earlier years. He generally prepared with great care, but there were occasions when he would preach from a text which was impressed on his mind in the pulpit. His wide reading, knowledge of Scripture, and strong grasp of mind, made him always prepared. He had no small share of the Covenanter spirit, and smote with the claymore whatever he believed to be wrong. In conversation his Scotch humour and powers of description made him a delightful companion. He had a good knowledge of the Dutch and Seralong languages.
For eleven years his General Superintendency lasted, and he died in 1875, ^^^^ forty-five years of active service, unbroken by any visit to England. He was one of the princes of his people, and his memory ought not to be forgotten."
