“He was a Christian, simple – in the finest sense of that word, steadfast, and strong for everything that
seemed to him worthy and of good report…. Amongst the people of China he will be remembered as a
beloved Physician and a skilled Surgeon, who came to them in that far country with a message of hope
and good cheer. In our Medical School and University [at Middlesex] we remember a magnificent
Teacher, a splendid administrator, a wise counsellor; yet in our hearts and minds he will live for qualities
which are finer by far; kindness – for he was generous as the day, and full of wholesome laughter;
honesty – he was guileless as a little child; humility – for he took pride in the achievements of others;
fearlessness – for he shared the life which had overcome darkness.
His interest in his students travelled far beyond the classroom and laboratory, and his influence will go
with them for the rest of their lives. 
His serenity and strength stemmed from an unswerving reliance on the Christian faith and standing by
his side for more than fifty years, he had in Mrs Kirk one as true and dauntless as himself.”

Many of the congregation had belonged to the Free Church and regarded Mr Kirton as having too strong a conformity
to the established Church. In Nov 1851 a memorial signed by 69 people was sent to the Free Church of Scotland asking
that an Ordained Minister be sent out to form them into a seperate congregation. This request was granted and the Rev
John Moir was sent out to Wellington where he formed the congregation later known as St John's.
The smaller congregation now at St. Andrew's and the conmtinuing conflict must have encouraged Mr Kirton to accept
a call to Kaiapoi in January 1863.
