Macduff, John Ross, a Presbyterian minister,
was born at Bonhard, near Perth, Scotland,
May 23, 1818, and educated at the
high school of Edinburgh and in the university
of the same city. He became a
minister of the Church of Scotland in 1842.
Among his pastorates was one of fifteen
years in the city of Glasgow. In 1871 Dr.
Macduff gave up the pastoral relation. He
is the author of a number of volumes in
prose and poetry, some of which have great
practical and devotional value and have a
wide circulation. Most of his hymns appeared
in his Altar Stones, 1853, and in
The Gates of Praise, 1876. He died April
30, 1895. The Universities of Glasgow and
of New York each conferred on him the degree
of Doctor of Divinity.
