The Rev Alex Wylie Blue

We are pleased to learn that Rev Alex Wylie Blue, of May Street Presbyterian Church, Belfast, is back with his congregation after doing splendid work in France. A copy of The Greeting, the May Street quarterly, contains a description of Mr Blue’s work in France, from the pen of the Rev R C Elliott, CF who, writing to Mr Williamson, the session clerk, says: ‘Your sacrifice in sending Mr Blue is one that is bearing rich fruit in France. ‘To see him in all his war paint, with steel hat, gas box etc., is to see a man, but to hear him is to hear the voice of the Lord.’
