Day of Prayer in October

The Synod resolved that a day of Prayer be held by the Congregations of the Church on Tuesday, the 12th or Wednesday, the 13th October (D.V.) for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in view of increasing immorality and the widespread forsaking of the Word of God.—Robert R. Sinclair, Clerk of Synod.

Nurse C. Tallach Returns to Mission

On Tuesday, 27th July, 1965, Nurse Catherine Tallach left her home in Scotland to return to the Church’s Mission, in Southern Rhodesia. She will now be engaged in her work at Mbuma Hospital, after her six months leave which no doubt passed quickly for her. We trust and pray that she will be upheld and strengthened by the Lord for another term of duty among the needy and sick Africans.

Articles for the Magazine

We require now suitable articles for publication in the Free Presbyterian Magazine. And we would remind the ministers of the Church that the Synod, at its last meeting, requested them to send in sermons or articles to the Editor. Reading material from other friends, including those who have helped us in the past, will be welcome.
