Church Building Fund in London—An Appeal.—The following form of Appeal has been drawn up with a view to obtain funds for “acquiring a permanent and convenient building” in connection with our London Mission. The Appeal has been endorsed by the Southern Presbytery:
“In February, 1908, the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland organised a London Mission, and a place of worship was secured at the Conference Hall, Eccleston Street, Buckingham Palace Road, London, S.W. The Hall, which is in the hands of the Trustees of the late Lord Radstock, is not in every respect suitable, and with the object of acquiring a permanent and convenient building, this Appeal is made.
“In addition to the usual English Services, the Mission gives Gaelic-speaking Highlanders in London, the privilege—long denied them—of hearing the Gospel preached every Sabbath in their mother tongue, and this should appeal to all those who have at heart the real interest of their fellow-countrymen.
“The Church to which it belongs stands for the ancient principles and doctrines of the Historic Church of Scotland. It maintains the infallibility of the Word of God and the Scriptural duty of the National Recognition of religion, observes New Testament worship in its primitive simplicity, and endeavours, in dependence upon Divine help, to hold forth the old, but ever new Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ—the only name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
“Whilst the supporters of the Mission are willing to do their utmost, they are unable without help to provide the necessary funds, and in soliciting the assistance of those who are interested in the Cause of Christ, trust there will be a liberal response.
“Contributions will be thankfully received and acknowledged by
DONALD SUTHERLAND,
201 Lavender Hill, S.W.; or
WILLIAM GRANT, Treasurer,
12 Wellington Square, S.W.”
AT GLASGOW, and on the 1st day of June, 1914, the Southern Presbytery, having considered the Appeal of the London Mission, agreed to cordially endorse and recommend it as worthy of support.
