The Late Mrs Gunn

Kinlochbervie

The death of this excellent woman, Mrs Gunn, took place on Sabbath morning, 26th September 1925, at the advanced age of 89. Her husband and several of the family predeceased her. Of the family who are still living, one son is in America, a daughter in Oldshore, and a son and daughter lived with the mother, and faithfully attended to her in her last days. Though in broken health, she was a regular attender of the means of grace, and was often there when very enfeebled. As to the time when the great change came from darkness to light we cannot say; but if we were to draw a conclusion from the way in which she spoke to us on one occasion it would appear that deliverance came to her from Ps. 118:17-18: “I shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened me sore: but He hath not given me over to death.” She was a member in the Free Church long before the separation in 1893, but did not hesitate to cast in her lot with the few who raised the banner of truth. She was not the one to despise the day of small things. She acknowledged to us many times that some of the happiest moments she had on earth was in the little church at Kinlochbervie. She had her trials and troubles in life, but during the last eighteen months she passed through fiery temptations from the enemy, but she got the victory in the conflicts through Him who overcame. When some one expressed wonder that such a person as she was should be so tried and troubled, she replied — “Though I am tried, yet I know my Redeemer liveth.” It would be well for all to lay to heart that the righteous are taken away from the wrath, to come.
