Induction at Oban.
—The Southern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland met at Oban on the 15th day of June and inducted Rev. D. A. Macfarlane, M.A., to the pastoral charge in that congregation. The Rev. D. Mackenzie preached the induction sermon. Thereafter Rev. N. Cameron put the usual questions to Mr. Macfarlane, to which he returned satisfactory answers, and expressed his willingness to sign the “Formula,” which he did in presence of the congregation. Rev. N. Cameron then inducted him in the usual form, and thereafter addressed the newly inducted pastor and congregation as to their respective duties. An opportunity was given, after the benediction, to the congregation to shake hands with their future pastor as they left the church.
May the Lord pour the Spirit of grace and supplication on both pastor and people, so that grace, mercy, and peace may reign among them to God’s glory and their everlasting blessedness.
