Communions.—Gairloch, Ross-shire, and Scourie, Sutherland, 2nd Sabbath of this month; Edinburgh, 3rd; Wick, 4th; Oban, 1st Sabbath of November; St. Jude’s and John Knox’s, Glasgow, and Tarbert, Loch Fyne, 2nd.
Return of Deputies from Canada.—We ought to have mentioned with much pleasure in last issue that the Church deputies—the Rev. John R. Mackay, M.A., Inverness, and Mr. Alexander Maclean, elder—arrived safely home from the Canadian Mission on the 18th August. They had a very pleasant and interesting time. Mr. Mackay preached ten Sabbaths, and held five Communions. During his time there Mr. Donald Mackenzie, one of the oldest and weightiest Christians in the field, passed away. Both Mr. Mackay and Mr. Maclean enjoyed good health. We need not, however, attempt to anticipate the account of the Mission, which will (God willing) be given at the next meeting of Synod in Glasgow, on November 10th.
