W. F. Stevenson, D.D., of Rathgar. He graduated B.A. at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1872, and had his theological training at the Presbyterian Assembly’s College at Belfast.In 1873 E. V. Boulger, headmaster of the newly founded Lurgan College appointed Clouston Mathematics master.[1] It is likely they knew each other from Trinity College, and Clouston’s time there may have been no longer than that of Boulger, who left when Lurgan began applying financial stringencies.He was licensed by the Presbytery of Dublin in 1875, and served at the Presbyterian church at Portaferry, County Down 1875\u20131880.He migrated to Sydney in 1881 for the benefit of his health, and was inducted into the pastorate of Penrith, which at that time extended from Blacktown to Mount Victoria, a distance of some 90\u00a0km.Around 1891 he was called to the Church at Glebe, where he ministered for 20 years, building up the church until it was one of the most influential in the State.He developed the Sunday School and Fellowship Association, and his kindly and conscientious example influenced many young men to join the ministry, among them being Dr. E. N. Merrington, Rev. W. G. Sharpe, Rev. Chas. Whyte, Rev. G. Logan, Rev. Donald McKay Barnett, Rev. J. A. Perkins, and Rev. J.
