THE Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church met at Inverness on Tuesday evening, 18th May. Rev. D. M. Macdonald, retiring Moderator, conducted public worship, and preached from 1 Corinth. i. 21. There was a good attendance. After the Synod was constituted, Mr. Macdonald demitted office, and the Rev. D. Macfarlane, Dingwall, was appointed Moderator. On Wednesday, the 19th, two sederunts were held. The Conveners of various Committees, such as the Canadian, Foreign Mission, and Finance, gave in very favourable reports. It was agreed that the ministers’ salaries be fixed at £220, and that the missionaries’ salaries be also considerably augmented. Several legacies were reported. One from Canada amounted to £490, while another from California, U.S.A., came to upwards of £1000. It was agreed to appoint Wednesday before the third Sabbath of July (or Thursday, where found more convenient) as a Day of Humiliation and Prayer for the condition of Ireland and the general world unrest. A Committee was appointed to draw up a statement with reference to the Free Presbyterian Church and the Church of Scotland Enabling Bill, while another was appointed to send a strong protest against the Matrimonial Causes’ Bill. The subject of the Temperance Act was taken up, and it was agreed that, in view of the amount of drunkenness among youths as well as those of riper years, the Synod strongly recommend their people as a whole to vote for the total prohibition of the sale of strong drink, apart from what may be necessary for medical purposes. Under the head of Foreign Mission Report, an interesting letter was read from Rev. J. B. Radasi, Matabeleland. The Synod adjourned, to meet again (D.V.) at Inverness on the Tuesday after the third Sabbath of May, 1921. We expect to give a complete report in next number of the Magazine.
