A Note.
We have been requested to insert the following note in the Magazine: “We consider it dutiful to publish in the Magazine a request made by our dear departed friend, Rev. Neil Cameron, shortly before he passed away. While it was difficult to catch every word he said, we gathered that the request had reference to a statement he had made at some time estimating the great loss that should be entailed to the cause of Christ in the world by the removal of certain men then living. (From the occurrence of the word ‘Magazine’ we felt inclined to infer that the statement in question had been published. That, however, is immaterial.) ‘I want it to be known,’ Mr. Cameron said, ‘that the men I had in view were Duncan Mackinnon, Onich, and Andrew Cameron, Oban.’—R. M.”

Rev. Neil Cameron’s Letters.
Friends who have any letters of the late Rev. Neil Cameron of public interest would greatly oblige by sending copies of them to the Editor as soon as possible.
