Call to Inverness.—At a meeting of the Southern Presbytery, in Glasgow, held on the 13th March, commissioners from Inverness and Kames appeared in connection with a call (which was unanimous) addressed by the Inverness Congregation to the Rev. Ewen Macqueen, Kames. The call had been previously tabled on the 24th February. At the meeting in March, Mr. Macqueen
* Thomas Shepard, we presume, author of The Parable of the Ten Virgins, The Sound Believer, &c.
declared his acceptance of the call. We learn that the Northern Presbytery has appointed his induction to take place (D.V.) in Inverness Church, on Wednesday the 2nd April.
Southern Presbytery—Collections for Iolaire Disaster Fund.—In addition to collections intimated in last issue, we now mention:—Kames, £12; and Dumbarton, £5. This makes a total of £92 sent from congregations in the Southern Presbytery. We have also had pleasure in forwarding £1, received from “A Sympathiser, Glasgow.”
Change of Time.—We regret to observe that the Government has again appointed the change from the winter to the summer time on Sabbath the 30th March. Our Parliamentary rulers still show that they have no special regard for the Lord’s Day in their arrangements, and the above is in line with many other things that are done, which are a source of sorrow to those who fear God and desire to keep His commandments.
Communion Table Addresses by late Rev. Prof. John Duncan, LL.D., of Edinburgh, will (D.V.) be resumed in future issues.
