The late Miss J. Russell, Inverness.—It is with much sorrow we record this month the death of Miss Jessie Russell, Inverness, well known as an eminent Christian woman. Miss Russell, who was over eighty years of age, was blind for many years, but the loss of her natural eyesight was compensated by her receiving spiritual vision in no common degree. The Lord kept her in close fellowship with Himself during a lengthened pilgrimage. Her departure is a great loss to Church and world, and is mourned by many. We hope to have a more extended notice in a future issue.
The late Mr. Donald Matheson, Glendale.—We regret to notice briefly, this month, the death of Mr. Donald Matheson, missionary, Glendale, Skye, which took place on 25th September. Mr. Matheson, who was a very worthy and useful missionary, will be much missed. We extend our deepest sympathy to his widow and family, and hope to insert a fuller notice in a future issue.
WHAT wise man would bring fishes out of the water to feed in his meadows, or send his oxen to feed in the sea? As little are the unregenerate meet for heaven, or heaven meet for them.—Boston.
CHRIST must buy my wedding garment, and redeem the inheritance which I have forfeited, and give His word for one the like of me.—Samuel Rutherford.
