Opening of New Church in Portnalong, Skye.—No less than three new churches have been opened for public worship in Skye during the past few months. This, no doubt, is a record for the Free Presbyterian Church and shows our cause is progressing and our people most loyal in supporting it. The new place of worship in Portnalong was formally opened on Wednesday, the 20th July, at 6 p.m. The Rev. D. N. Macleod, Ullapool, preaching an appropriate discourse on the occasion from John iv. 23, 24. There was a large congregation present. The church is well built and very comfortable with a seating capacity for about 350 people. The goodness of God is to be acknowledged in the support given to this building and our prayer is that many may be led in it to make their choice of Christ as their own personal Saviour. The help of friends to wipe off the remaining debt will be greatly appreciated.—D. M. M.
Correction.—In the note on the opening of the new church at Braes in our last issue, owing to the dropping of a few words, the meaning was lost. The third last paragraph should have read as follows: “Special thanks are due to Mr. Archie Macpherson, Glasgow, who at his own expense provided the plans for the building, and also to the collectors, etc.”
