Appeal for Free Distribution to Soldiers and Sailors Fund.—We do not care to multiply appeals for money, but are under necessity to make a new appeal for support to this fund, which is now about £9 in debt. As we explained in report to Synod, we are sending between 800 and 900 magazines monthly to our soldiers and sailors at home and abroad, which entails an outlay of over £4 10s. every month. This is a considerable sum, and unless the fund is kept up, such free distribution must stop. We trust that when our readers understand the position of matters there will be a generous response. We pay our accounts quarterly to printers. October is one of our paying months, and present help will be much appreciated. May we suggest that friends who have not hitherto given will come to the aid of the fund? In some places, if convenient, collections might be made.
WE expect to resume (D.V.) next month, “Notes of Alexander Gair and other Worthies”; and also to have obituary sketches of the late Messrs. Angus Macleod, Strathy, and John Mackenzie, Boor, Gairloch.
