Notice to Congregational Treasurers in the Northern Presbytery.
—At last meeting of the above Presbytery it was decided that Congregational Treasurers be reminded to send in abstracts of their Financial Statements, carefully drawn up and audited, to the Clerk of the Presbytery (Rev. D. Beaton, Wick), for the Presbytery’s examination ere they be presented to the respective Congregations. The Presbytery meets (d.v.) at Wick on 28th April.
The Mission in Winnipeg.
—Mr. Lachlan A. Ross, our elder in Winnipeg, Manitoba, desires us to call the attention of readers and friends at home and abroad to the Church Building Fund that has been started there. Subscriptions from any who are interested will be gratefully acknowledged by Mr. Ross, whose address is 633 Corydon Avenue, Fort Rouge, Winnipeg, or Mr. William Sinclair, 430 Young Street, in same city.
A Legacy.
—The Clerk of the Synod (Rev. J. S. Sinclair) has received intimation of a legacy of £20, which has been left by the late Mrs. Brown, Craigard, Ardrossan, to the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. Mrs. Brown, who passed away in December at a ripe old age, was much respected by all who were intimate with her. Though not a member of our Church, she was in much sympathy with its doctrine and testimony, and regularly read the Magazine. Her husband, who was equally advanced in years, only survived her six weeks. We extend our sympathy to the remaining relatives.
The late John M’Lean, Greenock.
—We record with much regret this month the death of Mr. John M’Lean, 26 Bruce Street, Greenock, one of the elders of our congregation in that town. Mr. M’Lean, who was seventy-four years of age, was closely associated with the congregation from the beginning, and did much active and useful work in connection with it. He was of a humble, unassuming character—a man who truly feared the Lord and walked in His ways. His removal makes a real blank in the Church on earth. He was highly respected by all with whom he came in contact. We extend our deepest sympathies to his widow and son in their great bereavement.
