Church Notes

Communions.—Kames and Oban, first Sabbath of May; Dumbarton, Glendale (Skye), and Greenock, third; Edinburgh (Hall, Riego Street, near Tollcross), fourth. Coigach (Ross) and Fort-William, first Sabbath of June; Shieldaig (Ross), second; Dornoch (Sutherland) and Lochcarron (Ross), third; Gairloch (Ross) and Inverness, fourth.
We regret that last month Greenock was mentioned by mistake as the fifth Sabbath of April.

Meeting of Synod.—The Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland will (d.v.) meet in the Hall of St. Jude’s Church, Glasgow, on Tuesday evening, the 22nd day of May, when the Moderator, Rev. Alexander Mackay, Oban, is expected to preach at half-past six o’clock.

Notice to Congregational Treasurers in Western Presbytery.—The Clerk of the Western Presbytery (Rev. Neil Macintyre, Stornoway) desires that congregational treasurers within the Presbytery’s bounds should forward their annual financial statements to him as soon as possible.

London Mission—Change of Hall.—We desire to call attention to the fact that our people in London have removed from the place of worship at 109 Eaton Terrace (Ebury Street), to ST. PHILIP’S PARISH HALL, ECCLESTON PLACE, BUCKINGHAM PALACE ROAD, VICTORIA, S.W. The new address is only two minutes’ walk from Conference Hall, where the congregation formerly worshipped. We are pleased to mention that the new Hall is in all respects more suitable than the Eaton Terrace Hall, where the congregation was obliged to worship temporarily owing to circumstances arising out of the War. The Services, which are conducted by Mr. Malcolm Macewan, missionary, are held at the following hours:—Sabbath: English, 11 a.m.; Gaelic, 3.45 p.m.; and English, 7.30 p.m. Tuesday: 8 p.m. A slight alteration in the hours of service will be observed, also in the weekly meeting. Our London Mission deserves the sympathy and support of all friends interested in the cause of Christ in that great city.

The Magazine.

Notice to Subscribers.—We respectfully remind subscribers that April was the last month of the ordinary Magazine year, and that payments due for past and future will now much oblige. The price at present per copy is 2/6 per annum, postage 6d. extra—total 3/-. This is the price also to all British Colonies—Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, etc. Copies to the United States and other neutral countries such as South America, Holland, etc., cost 4/- per annum, which amount covers postage. All who order directly from the Editor and Treasurer are requested to send their subscriptions to address, 248 Kenmure Street, Pollokshields, Glasgow. The Editor and Treasurer will also welcome the continuance of donations to the fund for Free Distribution to Soldiers and Sailors, which requires constant support as the outlay is considerable—£9 odds per month.
