Mr. Christie-Johnston who came to the ministry of the Australian Church in 1950 made a fine contribution to its life during the fourteen years of his service. His whole ministry was given to the one parish in Tasmania, and his long and devout ministry left its effect upon not only the parish but the Church throughout the State. He brought the best of the Church of Scotland tradition, was a faithful preacher and a conscientious pastor.
The Assembly give thanks to God for his ministry among us, and
canmend his wife and family to the God of Continuing Grace.
