Arrival of Deputy.—Our readers will be pleased to know that the Rev. D. Beaton, the Church’s Deputy to the Colonies, arrived safely in this country after a long absence. To us all this ought to be matter of thankfulness to the Most High in bringing him back through many dangers, seen and unseen. Mr. Beaton hopes (D.V.) to begin his editorial labours with the March issue of the Magazine, and we would take this opportunity of thanking the small circle of friends who during his absence helped in various ways with the work of the Magazine.—J. C.
Death of Mr. Alexander Murray, Bonarbridge.—We regret to record the passing away of Mr. Alexander Murray, Badbea, Bonarbridge, at a ripe old age. We firmly believe our loss is his great gain, and take this opportunity of extending sincere sympathy to his family.
