Winnipeg.—The new church in McGee Street (off Ellis Avenue) was opened by the Rev. William Mathe-son, Chesley, on 4th June. The building is seated to hold from 150 to 160 with comfort. A beautiful oak pulpit stand, with three chairs to match, with a hand- some money contribution to the building fund, was given by Ontario friends. Our congregation in Winnipeg have had their own troubles, but we sincerely trust that these have not been without fruit, and it is gratifying to all the friends of our cause in Canada to know that our people have now a place of worship of their own. There is a considerable debt still on the building, but our Winnipeg congregation are facing the burdens with willing hearts, and we trust that friends of
the cause, both in the States and Canada, and also at home, will not forget our young fellow-countrymen and women in giving a helping hand to speedily clear off the debt on the building. Our prayer is that it may be a house where the pure gospel will be preached and owned of the Lord, and that it may be the birth-place of souls. As Mr D. J. Matheson is coming home in October, the Canadian Mission Committee have arranged that Mr James Tallach, on being ordained, will take his place.
Student Licensed.—At a meeting of the Northern Presbytery, held at Bonar-Bridge, on Wednesday, 11th August, Mr Finlay Macleod, divinity student, was licensed to preach the Gospel.
