EXPLANATION.—The General Treasurer received on the 30th March, 1916, the sum of £3 for Home Mission Fund from Halkirk Congregation. This was entered correctly in the Home Mission Book, but by an inadvertence was carried to the Financial Statement as a Donation. The result was that Donations were credited with £3 more and Halkirk Congregation with £3 less than was due.
INVERNESS, 17th May, 1917.—We have examined Vouchers of the foregoing Accounts for year ending 31st March, 1917, and found all correct.
