Death of Mr. John Mackenzie, Port Henderson.—It is with deep regret we record the passing away of Mr. John Mackenzie, Elder, Gairloch, who reached a patriarchal age. We extend our sympathy to his widow and family and the congregation of Gairloch in the great loss they have sustained.
Synod Magazine.—Our readers will see that this double number is almost wholly taken up with the report of the Synod proceedings and the reports of the various Synod Committees. In 1920 the year before the present editor took over the editorship of the Magazine about twenty pages were all that were required to report the proceedings of the Synod and give the reports of the Committees; now, after twelve years’ time, over 70 pages are required for reporting the work done at the Synod. This gives some idea of how the work has increased in such a
short time. The Abstract of the Financial Accounts of the Church has had to be held over but will be given in the August issue.
