Free Presbyterian Services in Newcastle-on-Tyne.—At the request of some friends, the Rev. William Grant intends (D.V.) visiting Newcastle-on-Tyne on his way north from London, and holding services there on the last Sabbath of April. We hope that Free Presbyterians who have friends there will let them know of the services. The services will be held (D.V.) on Sabbath, 24th April, in the Hall, 51 Northumberland Street (two doors from “Boots,” Newcastle-on-Tyne), at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Home Mission (Missionaries and Catechists) Fund Collection. — The Synod appointed the second annual collection for this Fund to be taken up in April. The usual circular will be sent out to congregational treasurers by the General Treasurer.
The late Mr John Maciver, Scorraig.—This worthy man has passed away to his everlasting rest. In the Lord’s providence he was permitted to reach a patriarchal age, and adorned the doctrine of God his Saviour by a beautiful Christian life and consistent walk. As a Church, we are the poorer by his removal; though with him it is far better, as he is now with Him who called him by His grace and kept him all the days of his pilgrimage. A fuller notice will (D.V.) appear in the Magazine later on. We extend our sincere sympathy to all the members of his family, to his relatives, and to the congregation of Ullapool with which he was connected.
