Death of Mr Angus Macdonald, Deacon, North Uist.—We regret to have to record so soon again the passing away of another of the North Uist office-bearers. Mr Angus Macdonald was a much younger man than Mr Malcolm Macdonald, to whose death we referred in the June issue. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his widow and family, and to the congregation which in so short a time has lost two of its office-bearers. A fuller notice will (D.V.) appear later.—J. M.
