Articles for Magazine

We will be pleased to receive sermons for the Magazine from those ministers to whom we have written, and from any of our ministers to whom we intend to write in turn. We will also welcome suitable articles in the form of extracts from the divines, interesting Christian biography or Church history, etc.

Financial Statements and Congregational Records

Congregational Financial Statements for year ending 31st December, 1963, are to be sent to respective Presbyteries at the beginning of 1964, for examination. Deacons’ Court and Kirk Session Records are also to be sent to Presbyteries at the beginning of 1964, for examination.

Home of Rest

The Home of Rest Committee consider it necessary to make a further appeal to the liberality of friends to help in this worthy cause. Sincere thanks are tendered to those who have subscribed. Progress is being made by the Inverness Sub-Committee in dealing with the initial requirements of Ballifary House.

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver” (II Cor. ix: 7).

W. GRANT, Convener.
