Missionaries’ and Catechists’ Collection.—Rev. Neil Macintyre desires to explain regarding his motion on this subject at the Synod, that the first of the two collections (to be taken by book from house to house) was to be made before the end of October, and the second before the 31st March. The first half-yearly collection was not distinctly expressed in the motion, but it has been intimated in the usual circular by the Clerk of Synod to managers of Congregations.
