Letter from Rev. J. B. Radasi (extract re Famine).—
“I am glad to inform you that I have received the £30 you sent through ‘Reuter’s Agency’ by cable. The cable was received at Bembesi on the 30th August (dispatched from Glasgow the previous day). I went to Bulawayo to the National Bank to get the money which I received all right. I called the elders and deacons together and told them about this gift, and we decided to purchase mealies (Indian corn) for distribution among the starving people. They assisted me in the work of distributing, and wish me to thank you most sincerely for your great help in their time of need.”
Edinburgh and Sabbath Desecration.—
In these days when many Town Councils and other public bodies are actively doing their utmost to deprive the people of a peaceful Sabbath, it is pleasing to note that the Parks Committee of the Edinburgh Town Council, on 5th October, voted, by a majority of 8 to 4 to recommend that no action be taken for the provision of music in the City parks on Sabbaths next summer. Similar action would be much appreciated by our best citizens in other places. Alas! that Inverness Town Council has come out foremost among the Sabbath-breakers. May those who are raising their voices in that town against such conduct be strengthened and encouraged.
The late Mr. Alex. Grant, Evelix, Dornoch.—
It is with deep regret that we have to record the death, on the 23rd September, after a brief illness, of this highly-respected office-bearer. Mr. Grant conducted the services regularly in our Dornoch congregation with much appreciation. A fuller notice may be expected in a later issue. Meantime we extend our deep sympathy to the bereaved. May they be led to follow in the footsteps of a worthy husband and father, and may the seed sown in the congregation bring forth fruit abundantly.
Mrs. M. Urquhart, Craig View, Dingwall.—
On the 2nd ult., this well known Christian lady passed away. Her gain is our loss. Our heart-felt sympathy goes out to her sorrowful husband. We hope to have a further notice in a later issue.
