Notice to Congregational Treasurers.—Congregational Treasurers are reminded that copies of their financial statements, duly audited, are to be sent to the Clerks of Presbyteries under whose jurisdiction their congregations are. We are requested to point out that there has been remissness on the part of certain congregational treasurers in paying attention to this notice of late years. On their attention being now called to the matter we are sure it will be put right for the future.

Memoir and Remains of Rev. Donald Macfarlane.—From the inset in this issue it will be seen that the above is expected to be ready early in May. The book contains a biographical sketch of Mr Macfarlane, with his diary and a selection of sermons. The price is 3s 6d post free 4s (Canada and the United States of America 1 dollar). Orders are to be sent to the Rev. D. Beaton, Free Presbyterian Manse, Wick.
The Late Mr Donald Maclean, Missionary, Applecross.—This worthy man passed to his everlasting rest on the 19th of February. Mr Maclean had been laid aside from active duties for some time and of him it may be truly said: “The storm is changed into a calm at His command and will.” A fuller notice, we hope, will (D.V.) appear later. Meantime we extend our sincere sympathy to the widow and to the sons (at home and abroad) and the daughters.
