Address to the King.—The following is the Address to King George V., prepared by the Committee of Synod, and forwarded to Lord Pentland for presentation to His Majesty:—“To the King’s Most Gracious Majesty.—May it please your Majesty,—We, the Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, beg respectfully to tender to your Majesty and your Majesty’s illustrious Consort, Queen Mary, our sincere congratulations on the Coronation of your Majesties at Westminster. We would earnestly pray that the blessing of Almighty God might rest on your Majesty’s person and reign. Believing that the prosperity of the British Empire is bound up with the proclamation and supremacy of God’s Most Holy Word, we fervently desire that, under your Majesty’s lofty auspices, our national adherence to Protestant truth may be conserved and strengthened. It is our earnest prayer that your Majesty and Queen Mary may receive divine guidance and strength for the discharge of the onerous responsibilities of your exalted stations.
“In Name and by the Authority of the Synod.—(Signed)
DONALD GRAHAM, Moderator; JAMES S. SINCLAIR, Clerk.”
Deputy in Canada.—We are pleased to hear that the Rev. Neil Macintyre, our present Deputy to the Canadian Mission, is having a favourable time. The weather has been, on some occasions, unprecedentedly hot, but by the good hand of Providence he has stood the heat exceedingly well. The last Sabbath of June was his first in Winnipeg. He expects (God willing) to be back in Scotland early in September.
