Ordination and Induction of Rev. Roderick Mackenzie, M.A.—The Western Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church met in Gairloch on Monday, the 15th day of October, for the ordination and induction of the Rev. Roderick Mackenzie, M.A., to the pastoral charge of the congregation. Although the weather was very wet, there was a large congregation present. The Rev. M. Morrison, Lochinver, Moderator pro tem., preached the ordination sermon from Romans i. 16, and thereafter solemnly ordained with prayer and the imposition of the hands of the Presbytery Mr Mackenzie to the office of the ministry, and also induced him to the pastoral charge of the congregation. He afterwards addressed him in appropriate terms as to the duties of his office, and Mr Macdonald, Portree, suitably addressed the congregation. The call was signed by 536 members and adherents. It was unanimous, and the proceedings throughout were marked by the utmost cordiality and harmony. May the Holy Spirit be poured forth in rich measure on both minister and people! Our desire is that Mr Mackenzie’s ministry may be much blessed, and that he and his congregation may be enriched with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. D. M. M.
