Included are several photos from around Methodist College, Belfast, and Victoria College, Belfast.
There is also an old photo of the Reverend Ian Paisley who had taken up hymn-writing and a verse from his pen was to be heard by millions across Britain. Hymnal standard Rock of Ages, written by former Church of England rector Augustus Toplady in the 19th century, concluded a nationwide BBC radio service from Martyrs’ Memorial Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast. Added to the four verses by Toplady was a fifth from Rev Ian Paisley, “bringing Rock of Ages to a heavenly conclusion”.
