Rev
Henry Ward speaking at the funeral of the Hon and Rev A A Barclay:
'Alexander Aemelius Barclay, patriot, preacher, statesman, social reformer, educationist, man of affairs, Christian gentleman, is dead . . . .'
'A voice has been silenced, a great heart stilled, a bright and shining light extinguished.'
. . . .
'A man truly great in massive intellect, in sterling character, in earnest endeavour, in epoch-making achievement. Barclay's life is a benediction and an inspiration. The community of Western St Mary, the Presbyterian Church, the Island of Jamaica and the British West Indies are all honoured in such a man.'
Rev Henry Ward:
