COMFORTS FOR THE FORCES FUND.
Rev. Ewen Macqueen, C.F., 32nd Brigade, R.F.A., Blickling Park, Aylsham, Norfolk, acknowledges with sincere thanks the following donations:—£5 from Vatten Congregation, Skye, per Mr. A. M’Gillivray, General Treasurer, Inverness; parcel Socks from Kerrysdale, Gairloch; Socks and Writing Paper from Mrs. Macdonald, Eilanreach Ho., Glenelg; Two parcels Socks, per Miss Harper, Thurso; and £1 from Mrs. Macrae, Wardsville, Ontario.
Rev. J. S. Sinclair acknowledges with thanks—2/6 from Nurse Tallach, Carloway, and 5/ each from Mrs. A. Sinclair and Mrs. D. Mackay, Halkirk, Caithness. Readers will observe that this fund is now called “Comforts for the Forces Fund,” not “for the Front.” We have no military chaplain at present at the Front. The new title will meet the case of soldiers at home as well as abroad—the men under both our official chaplains, Messrs. Macqueen and Sutherland. Mr. Macqueen, in a letter of 10th July, states:—”I have to attend two Brigades of Artillery men, ten miles apart. All attend the services—officers and men. We have over twenty officers at the morning service. . . . I had four services yesterday, and spoke to over 3,000 men between all the services. They all listened most attentively. May the Spirit of God accompany the Word, and convince men of their sins and spiritual needs! Ask the Lord’s people to be praying for me and my soldiers. May the Lord appear for our deliverance!”
