Induction at Ullapool.
At a meeting of the Western Presbytery, held in Ullapool Church on the 9th July last, the Rev. D. N. Macleod, formerly of Harris, was inducted to the pastoral charge of the Lochbroom congregation. There was a good attendance, all the various districts included in the charge being represented. The Rev. James Macleod, Glendale, presided, and preached the induction sermon from the words of John ii. 5, in which he dwelt principally on the obligations which the placing of a minister laid upon a congregation. Thereafter the appointed questions having been put and answered, and the formula signed, Mr Macleod’s induction was formally proceeded with. Throughout, the proceedings were most harmonious, and were witnessed with manifest interest on the part of the congregation, a fact which, added to that of the unanimity of the call, served to indicate that the people were of one mind in welcoming their new minister. We sincerely trust that both pastor and people will be signally blessed in their newly-assumed relationship, while we pray that the Holy Spirit may be poured forth upon them in rich measure to the glory of God and the salvation of immortal souls.
R. MACK.
Church’s Deputy in Canada.
In our last communication from Rev. M. Morrison, he informed us he intended preaching in Saskatoon, and thereafter going west to Vancouver. It is his intention to return to Winnipeg for a few Sabbaths, and thereafter to preach in Detroit and New York on his homeward journey. Should we receive the dates when Mr Morrison will be in these cities in time for insertion in the Magazine, intimation will be duly given in our pages.
