The late Mrs. Macdonald, Glasgow.—We regret that no notice has been taken hitherto in the Free Presbyterian Magazine of the death of Mrs. Macdonald (late of Elphin, Assynt), who died in Glasgow on the 17th day of December, 1907.
Since she was a young woman she bore true marks of having undergone a saving change. During the last fifteen years of her life her lot was to pass through very deep afflictions, which undermined her constitution, so that she continued an invalid all that time. Her resignation to God’s holy will, patience and humility under her heavy trials, and implicit faith and hope of obtaining the victory over all earthly troubles through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, kept her soul in the peace of God till her end came.
We desire to express our deepest sympathy with the bereaved family. N. C.
Northern Presbytery—A Protest against King and Queen at Mass.—The Northern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland have forwarded His Majesty King Edward VII. the following excerpt from their Minutes:—”Inter alia: The Presbytery took note of the distressing fact that on the 7th day of February of this year His Gracious Majesty King
Edward VII., and his illustrious Consort Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and several other members of the Royal Family, were present at an idolatrous service of Requiem Mass which was celebrated in St. James’s Roman Catholic Church, Spanish Place, London, in connection with the assassination of the late King and Crown Prince of Portugal. The Presbytery concluded that, albeit it was very becoming His Majesty to be foremost in expressing his own and the nation’s grief on account of the stricken condition of the Royal House of Portugal, yet that the form which this expression of sympathy took upon this occasion was not one that could be justified, in as much as it was not in keeping with God’s Word, and the Coronation and Accession Oaths, and that the consequences of such actions, if persisted in, would be anything but good. The Presbytery would therefore, with all due loyalty, humbly direct His Majesty’s attention to the fact that by Act of Parliament, 1689, which is fundamental in the constitution of this realm, it has been enacted that: ‘All and every person, and persons that is, are, or shall be reconciled to, or shall hold communion with the See or Church of Rome shall be excluded, and be forever incapable to inherit, possess, or enjoy the Crown and Government of this Realm, and the people of these Realms shall be and are hereby absolved of their allegiance.’
