Rev. M. K. Gilmour
THE retirement from missionary work of the Rev. Matthew K. Gilmour, who for 33 years has served in Papua, was dealt with at the meeting of the Australian Methodist Missionary Society on February 8.
Many of the ministers referred to the value of Mr. Gilmour’s work during that period, and, in agreeing to his transfer to home work, placed on record appreciation of the services rendered to the district. It was explained that Mr. Gilmour had gone to Papua in 1901.
