The late Mr. D. Macleod, Glasgow.—We notice briefly with regret this month the death of Mr. Donald Macleod, Springburn, Glasgow, elder in St. Jude’s Congregation, which sad event took place on 26th August. The deceased, who was forty-three years of age, and a native of Raasay, had not been too strong for some time back. He was a man much esteemed for his piety and worth, and his removal is deeply mourned by many friends. The deepest sympathy is felt for his sorrowing widow and family in their great bereavement. May the Lord heal the many breaches that are being made on the walls of Zion! J. S. S.
