The Rev. Isaac Kirker McIntyre , the Minister in charge, is the youngest surviving son of the late Rev. Hugh McIntyre, D.D., Loanends, County Antrim, Ireland. He was educated at the Belfast Academy and the Glasgow University, and studied the-ology at the United Presbyterian Divinty Hall, and the Free Church College, Glasgow. His first charge was Portree, United Presbyterian Church, Isle of Skye, to which he was called in 1880. In 1886 he went out to Tasmania, at the request of the Colonial Committee of the United Presbyterian Church, and was successful in the work to which he was set, of resuscitating the congregation of St. John's Hobart, which had been dissolved six years previously. In this sphere he continued to labour till 1895, when, on account of failing health, he paid a visit to New Zealand, and was called to his present charge. In 1890 Mr. McIntyre married Miss E. L. Simonds, of Hobart, and has four children.
