Sympathy for Rev. Donald Beaton.
We take the liberty of extending deepest sympathy to Rev. Donald Beaton, former Editor, and now retired at Evelix, Dornoch, in the great loss he has sustained by the unexpected and sudden death of his wife on 31st March. Mrs. Beaton was well known and highly respected by the people of the Church. May the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, sustain and comfort Mr. Beaton and family in their sorrow.
Resignation of Rev. R. MacDonald from African Mission.
The Convener of the Foreign Missions Committee has asked us to intimate that Rev. R. MacDonald, M.B., Ch.B., who has served for many years in our Mission at Ingwenga, Africa, has resigned from the Mission. As our readers may remember, Dr. MacDonald is at present acting as the Church’s deputy in Canada. The Synod, this month, will of course, deal appropriately with the matter of Dr. MacDonald’s resignation and services rendered to the Mission.
