Resignation of Minister.—Rev. Dugald S. Cameron sent in his resignation of his charge at Tain on 6th August. At a meeting of the Free Church Commission at Edinburgh, on Wednesday the 8th, an application from him was considered, and he was unanimously admitted to the Free Church with the status of an ordained minister.
Correspondence between Rev. Wm. MacKinnon and Rev. D. Beaton.—A few weeks ago the Rev. Wm. MacKinnon challenged the Moderator of Synod to prove the statement which appeared in the answers to the reasons of dissent tabled by Rev. John Macleod, M.A. The statement objected to charges the Free Church in its practice as being disloyal to Holy Scripture. The challenge was accepted and Mr. MacKinnon replied, but Mr. Beaton’s answer to Mr. MacKinnon’s letter was withheld by the Editor of the Northern Chronicle. We hope to take notice of the subject in our next issue.
We regret there is no Gaelic in this issue, but it will be resumed in next. We also hope to have some original pieces in Gaelic by one of our ministers in an early issue.—ED.
