Illness of Editor.
Readers of the Magazine, as well as our people in general, will be sorry to hear that the Editor, the Rev. D. Beaton, is at present laid aside through illness. While we are hopeful that he will soon be restored to health, we would solicit the prayers of the Lord’s people on his behalf. We are pleased to say, at the time of writing, Mr. Beaton is making good progress towards recovery.—R. M.
Death of Mr. Kenneth Macleod, Missionary.
It is with profound regret we record the removal by death of Mr. Kenneth Macleod, Kishorn, who for a number of years acted as missionary in the Lochcarron section of the Shieldaig-Lochcarron Congregation. Mr. Macleod was widely known and respected throughout our congregations in the west, and will be greatly missed. A fuller notice will, we trust, appear later. Meanwhile we extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved widow and family as also to the congregation.
Held Over.
We regret, owing to the increasing volume of Synod business, we have not been able to give all the reports. The reports held over and the Financial Statement will appear in our August issue. In future the Synod has decided that a double number be issued in July so as to give the Synod and other reports in one number.
Rev. W. Grant.
Mr. Grant expects (D.V.) to reach Vancouver for the second Sabbath of July.
