Presbyteries and Harvest Thanksgiving.
At a meeting of the Northern Presbytery, held at Dingwall on the 2nd October, it was resolved to put on record their sense of the undeserved kindness of God in bestowing upon us again a generous harvest, and also to instruct all the congregations within the bounds of this Presbytery to observe a Thanksgiving Day for the harvest, and to recommend as a general rule that the Thanksgiving Day should be held by congregations belonging to this Church simultaneously with such services in connection with other denominations, and that a note to this effect should be sent to the Editor of the Free Presbyterian Magazine for insertion in the November number.
The Western Presbytery has appointed that a Thanksgiving Day for the Harvest be kept by the congregations under its jurisdiction, leaving each congregation to fix a suitable date for itself.
