K. MACPHERSONWE REGRET TO record the death of Mr. A. K. Macpherson, formerly Assistant China Director, at Aberdeen in Scotland on January 11th. Mr. George Scott, sometime his colleague in Shanghai, writes the following tribute. The last fourteen years of Mr. Macpherson's active service on the field-which began in 1904 at the age of twenty-seven-were years of increasing responsibility; first as Assistant Superintendent of East CHEKIANG, then as through Superintendent, and finally his appointment in 1936 by the General Director to assist in the Mission Administration at the Headquarters in Shanghai. Fours years later, his executive ability, administrative gifts and rich spiritual experience gained for him the still more onerous task of Regional Director of the Mission's work in the Eastern and Central Provinces.Although for some years he had been resident in Shanghai the Churches in CHEKIANG seized every opportunity to show their love and appreciation for his years of ministry among them. How often have we gone to his office or his home and found him with a Chinese guest, usually a CHEKIANG Christian on business in Shanghai, whose visit would be incomplete without calling on the beloved Mr. 'Meh.'The chief link with the missionaries in his region was corres- pondence. Mr. Macpherson's etters were never stereotyped. He realized his fellow-workers were, for the most part, isolated in inland towns and cities, and by his letters to them he sought to stimulate their minds and refresh them by opening windows through which they might get draughts of re-vitalising air from sources often beyond their reach. By well-chosen excerpts from some book he himself had found helpful, or by provocative paragraphs from current literature he fed their hearts and minds. His advice in matters pertaining to the work was the fruit of his own varied experience and spiritual maturity. He was GOD'S man, in GOD's place fulfilling the purpose of GOD for his life.He rejoiced in the growing strength of the Chinese Church, for as missionary, Superintendent and Regional Director, all his energies were bent towards the development of Chinese leadership and a strong indigenous church.He delighted in good music, and it was a source of deep satis- faction to him to complete the revised C.I.M. Chinese Hymnary just before hostilities were intensified in the Shanghai area. In company with others, Mr. Macpherson was subjected by the Japanese to two-and-a-half years' internment. The inevitable strain and physical hardships of this experience greatly impaired his health, and whilst his spirit was keen, zestful as ever, he never fully recovered from the effects of those internment years. We humbly thank GOD for the years of fruitful service gladly given for the LORD and China, and it is with the sense of the loss of an honoured worker, a staunch friend and loyal colleague, we extend our sympathy to the bereaved members of the family.
