Free Presbyterian Chaplain in France.—Rev. Ewen Macqueen, C.F., arrived safely at his field of work at “the front.” He has now been transferred from the Casualty Clearing Station to a regiment. His address is the Rev. E. Macqueen, C.F., L Company, 4th Cameron Highlanders, B. E. F., France. He earnestly desires the prayers of all who frequent the throne of grace on behalf of himself and his work among the soldiers. In his new connection, he has occasion to be constantly engaged in regular religious services, addressing large bodies of men, while he has greater scope for the use of the Gaelic language.
Mission to the Forces in England.—We have much pleasure in stating that in response to the request of a number of men stationed at Ripon, the Mission to Forces Committee have arranged that the Rev. Andrew Sutherland, Ullapool, proceed there to conduct regular services for eight weeks. The work began on the last Sabbath of March. This is a new field of usefulness, and we earnestly pray that the Lord may abundantly bless the labours of our minister among our brave fellow-countrymen at Ripon. The Mission to Naval Men at Chatham and Portsmouth still proceeds, and the Rev. Norman Matheson, Halkirk, is expected to succeed the Rev. D. A. Macfarlane, Rogart, at an early date, in the conduct of these services. May the divine help and blessing be richly bestowed!
Late Rev. W. Scott, Chesley, Ontario.—We hope (d.v.) to be able to publish a sketch of Mr. Scott’s life, already partially prepared, in the May issue. Meantime, we are requested by Mrs. Scott, his widow, to express her cordial thanks to the Chesley Congregation for their liberality in paying funeral expenses, and also to all friends at home and abroad for their kind letters of sympathy in the great bereavement she and other relatives have sustained.
CORRECTION.—We regret that, owing to mistake, the name of “Kyle” was mentioned in last issue instead of “Dobie,” as name of one of the leading men recently taken away in the Chesley Congregation.
