Induction of Rev. Duncan Mackenzie.—On 29th September, in the presence of an encouraging congregation, augmented by friends from Glasgow, Greenock, Dunoon, and Dumbarton, the Southern Presbytery induced the Rev. Duncan
Mackenzie, late of Gairloch, to the pastorate of the Free Presbyterian Congregation of Kames, Kyles of Bute. The induction sermon was preached by the Rev. N. Cameron, Glasgow, Clerk of Presbytery, from Matt. xxviii. 18-20. The sermon being ended, the Rev. A. Mackay, Oban, Moderator, put the usual questions to Mr. Mackenzie, which were satisfactorily answered, and the formula signed. Thereafter Mr. Mackay induced Mr. Mackenzie, and the Clerk addressed the newly inducted minister. The congregation were addressed by the Moderator, and, on retiring, shook hands with Mr. Mackenzie, who received a hearty reception.
It is sincerely hoped that prosperity will attend the labours of Rev. Mr. Mackenzie in his new charge, and that our Kames people will experience better days than hitherto.
