Communions.—John Knox’s, Glasgow (Hall, 2 Carlton Place, South Side), first Sabbath of October; Dumbarton, Gairloch, and Scourie, second; Lochinver, third; Wick, fifth; Oban, first Sabbath of November; St. Jude’s, Glasgow, second.
Collection for Missionaries and Catechists.—This Collection was fixed by the Synod at its last meeting to be taken during the month of October, and that by book from house to house, similarly to the Sustentation Fund. As payments to ministers and missionaries are made on the 11th of November, it is desirable that this Collection be taken as promptly as possible, and that all contributions for the Sustentation and Missionaries’ Funds be forwarded in good time before above date.
Acknowledgments.—Mr. A. Clunas, general treasurer, 18 Ardconnel Terrace, Inverness, acknowledges with thanks 5/- from “A Friend,” on behalf of Kaffir Foreign Mission Fund.
Harvest Thanksgiving.—At a recent meeting of the Northern Presbytery, held at Dingwall, it was resolved that all the congregations within the bounds of the Presbytery should observe a day of thanksgiving in recognition and acknowledgment of the bountiful harvest which the Giver of all Good has been pleased to favour His undeserving creatures with; it being as in past years left to the several congregations to fix a day suitable to the circumstances of each congregation: it being recommended that so far as possible this day should be observed in our congregations when such a day of thanksgiving is held in the parish within which the congregation is found.
