Important Notice.
—At last meeting of the Northern Presbytery, it was decided that it be made public to all Treasurers of Congregations, and Mission stations within the bounds of the said Presbytery, that it is the desire of the Presbytery to have the recognised law of the Church, as to Financial Statements, carefully carried out, viz., that the Statements duly audited be presented to the Presbytery before they are read to the respective congregations. For the better carrying out of this design the Presbytery decided that it would arrange its meetings after the close of the financial year (31st March), at appointed centres to suit the congregations within its bounds.
Death of Mr. Angus Murray, Dornoch.
—We regret to record the decease during the past month of this eminent worthy, well known and highly esteemed by many of our readers. He had reached a very advanced age, but up to within a comparatively recent period, was upheld in wonderful vigour and freshness of mind and body. His removal is a great loss to the congregation of Dornoch, and the Church at large. We extend our deepest sympathies to his widow and family.
