Reverend Ephraim Scott was a Canadian Presbyterian minister serving the Maritimes and later in Montreal. Holding several Doctorates of Divinity from Colleges in Halifax and Edinburgh, he was also an accomplished journalist and editor, founding the magazines Maritime Presbyterian and The Children’s Record. In Montreal he served as editor of the Presbyterian Record, carefully using the publication as a platform for his own and others similar views of conservative evangelicalism and anti-establishmentarianism.
He generated some controversy over his years for his views, balancing his own beliefs with the church’s official line. But his position didn’t keep up with the times and he lost support of the youth. Ultimately, having outlived his wife and children, he spent the remainder of his life frugally in rooms at the central Young Men’s Christian Association in Montreal.
