Communions.—Inverness, fifth Sabbath of January; Dingwall, first Sabbath of February.
Free Presbyterian Services in Winnipeg, Manitoba.—We beg to state for the benefit of readers who may have friends in Winnipeg that these services are held in the Trades’ Hall (Room 5), James Avenue, East, every Sabbath at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., and that they are presently conducted by Mr. William Matheson, student.
Return of Deputy from the South African Mission.—We are pleased to inform our readers that the Rev. John R. Mackay, Inverness, our deputy to South Africa, has now returned in safety to the home country. He reached London on Saturday, 18th December, and took part, along with the Rev. Neil Cameron, in the Communion Services which were held there the following Sabbath, and which, it may be stated, were very well attended. Mr. Mackay has had a most favourable journey all through, in which he recognises the goodness of the Lord and an answer to many prayers put up on behalf of the Mission and his visit to it. He has sent the second part of his Report, which is, indeed, most interesting, but we regret to say that it is rather late to appear in this issue. It may be looked for (God willing) in the February number.
