The Rev. Frank Faram was a member of a family very active in the life and work of the Dorcas Street congregation, South Melbourne, and interested also in the Montague Mission.
Mr. Faram lived by a deep and firm faith. His pulpit preparation was faithful and painstaking. His preaching was arresting and provocative. As a pastor, he was devoted to Christ’s work among both young and old. He was of quiet disposition and unassuming character, and remained a loyal member of the Courts of the Church.
To Mrs. Faram, her son and two daughters, the Assembly tender sincere sympathy.
