Church Book Room Appointment of new Manager
The Committee has pleasure in announcing that Mr John Golby, a communicant in the Church, has been appointed the Manager of the Church’s Book Room in Glasgow from 1st January 1982 (D.V.). While the committee greatly appreciate the services of previous helpers and, especially in recent times, of Mrs Harvey and Mr Gillies, they feel it very necessary that there should be a permanent person in charge to provide the necessary continuity in running the book room. As well as providing sound literature for a discerning public, the Book Room has proved to be a place where interesting discussions on spiritual and religious points of view take place. This is a particularly useful function and needs someone in charge of the Book Room who will become well-known to customers and prove helpful, by the blessing of God, in such discussions. The Committee believe that Mr Golby will suit admirably in this, as well as in other, respects. The Committee wish him the Lord’s blessing in his work. All contributions to assist in the work of the Book Room, which is not run as a profit-making enterprise, should be addressed to the Free Presbyterian Book Room, 133 Woodlands Road, Glasgow G3. Such contributions will be acknowledged in the Free Presbyterian Magazine.
(Rev) Donald MacLean, Convenor.
