Collection for this Month.—As intimated in the August issue, the collection for the Organization Fund is to be taken up this month. This collection used to be taken up in January, but the date was changed at last Synod.
Death of Mr Andrew Sinclair, Elder.—We regret to have to record so soon again the passing away of another of the elders of St Jude’s. Mr Andrew Sinclair was a much younger man than Mr MacColl, to whose death we referred in last issue. He had been formerly an elder in John Knox’s F.P. congregation, Glasgow. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to his widow and family, and the Session of St Jude’s, and also to the congregation which in so short a time has lost two of its elders. A fuller notice will (D.V.) appear later on.
Thurso.—Friends of the cause will be pleased to learn that mainly through the efforts of the Rev. William Grant, Halkirk, our people in Thurso have successfully negotiated the purchase of the church formerly belonging to the Reformed Presbyterians. The church was handed over on exceptionally reasonable terms, and we owe our Reformed Presbyterian friends our sincere thanks for the generous way in which they carried through the negotiations. The opening service will be held (D.V.) on Monday, 12th September, at 7.30 p.m. We congratulate our people in Thurso in obtaining a place of worship at such a reasonable price.
