Communions.—Coigach and Bonar, 1st Sabbath of June; Shieldaig, 2nd; Gairloch, 4th; Inverness and Raasay, 5th; Lochcarron, 1st Sabbath of July.
An Appeal.—Free Presbyterian Church, Lochcarron.—The new Church building at Lochcarron is now in course of erection. It is substantially built of stone and lime, and will be seated for about 400 persons, the estimated cost being £600. The Congregation have contributed very heartily already, but they are not able to make up the whole amount, and, consequently, they hereby appeal to the generosity of liberal Christian friends.
Contributions will be thankfully received and acknowledged by Rev. D. Graham, F.P. Manse, Shieldaig, Lochcarron, and by Mr. Roderick Matheson, merchant, Lochcarron.
The Western Presbytery heartily endorse the above appeal.—
ALEX. MACRAE, Moderator, NEIL MACINTYRE, Clerk.
Synod Meeting.—The Synod will (D.V.) hold its Half-yearly Meeting at Inverness, on Tuesday after the first Sabbath of July, the Rev. Ewen M’Queen, Bonar, Moderator, to preach at 12 noon.
Deputy to Canadian Mission.—The Rev. D. Beaton, Wick, has been appointed Deputy to our Canadian Mission this season, and he (accompanied by Mrs. Beaton) left Greenock by S.S. Columbia on Saturday the 18th May. We trust they may safely reach their destination, and that the labours of the Deputy will be attended with much success. Mr. Beaton expects to visit Winnipeg, Manitoba, as part of the Mission, before he returns.
