Abstract
On the morning of the 15th ult., Rev. Dr. Bryce Ross died somewhat suddenly at Wiltondale, near Kei Road Station. He had been in his usual health during the previous week and attended a meeting of the Bible Revision Committe in King William's Town. He left that place on Monday, the 14th, intending to go on to Dordrecht during the hot weather. In the evening of that day, he was not feeling quiet well. His illness was not such to cause serious alarm, but during the night probably from failure of the heart's action he passed away out of his world as quietly as he had passed through it. His life as a missionary was long, laborious, earnest and fruitful. It embraced the whole range of missionary work, from care for the conversion of individual souls, to the care and planting of out-station churches, constant preaching, the supervision of schools, and the translation of the Bible into the Kaffir vernacular.
