Admission of Rev. W. Scott.
The Southern Presbytery met in St. Jude’s Hall, Glasgow, on the 2nd January, Rev. Neil Cameron, Moderator, presiding. Rev. Walter Scott, late of Australia, was admitted into the Church. The Moderator first gave a brief narrative of the steps that had been taken by the Synod in connection with the proposed admission of the Rev. Mr. Scott, who had now indicated his acquiescence in the Synod’s decision. Thereafter, Mr. Scott came forward, and the Moderator put to him the usual questions for the admission of ministers, which he answered satisfactorily. The Clerk then read the Formula, and Mr. Scott signed the same. This being done, the Moderator engaged in prayer, and at the close, in the name of the Presbytery, received Mr. Scott into the ministry of the Free Presbyterian Church. The Moderator and brethren present gave him the right hand of fellowship. The meeting was closed with praise and prayer.
