He was a New South Wales representative at the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Churches and at the 1910 World Missionary Conference. His wife died in 1903 and on 3 February 1904 he married Elizabeth Mary Forbes. Goodlet died, childless, in 1914. His nephew, Alfred Ingram Macfarlan (1861-1929), had come from Glasgow to join the business in 1900, serving as secretary for many years. (en)
