South African Mission.—At the last meeting of the Jewish and Foreign Mission Committee it was decided that the Rev. John Tallach and family return to Africa by the end of May, and that Miss Nicolson, our newly-appointed teacher for Ingwenya, who is to be accompanied by her mother, should sail about the middle of June. We hope and pray that He who rules over sea and land may give them a favourable passage and bring them safely to the end of their journey. Mr Tallach since arriving
in this country last June has had a strenuous time. He visited most, if not all, of our congregations and mission stations, at which he delivered lectures on the different aspects of the mission work. His lectures were much appreciated by our people, and no doubt roused their interest more than ever in the Mission’s work among the native people of Africa. Miss Nicolson’s arrival at Ingwenya to take charge of our school there will be a great help to Mr. Tallach, as he will thus be relieved of educational work and will be able to apply himself more freely to his work as missionary.—N. M.
Deputy to Vancouver.—At last meeting of the Canadian and Colonial Mission Committee Rev. Finlay Macleod expressed his willingness to go as the Church’s Deputy to Vancouver. Mr. Macleod expects to leave for Vancouver (D.V.) about the middle of April.—D. J. M.
Financial Statements for 1893-4 and 1894-5.—In the minutes of the Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church for 9th July, 1895, there is an entry to the effect that the financial statements for 1893-4 and 1894-5 had been read at the Presbytery and that 200 copies were ordered to be printed to be circulated. Should any of our readers possess a copy of these statements the Editor would be indebted if they would be sent on to him for perusal.
Rev. N. Cameron’s Memoirs.—Those who have not sent in the money for the sale of books are respectfully requested to do so not later than the end of April, with a note of the number of unsold copies on hand so that a report may be given in to the Synod. Later on it may be necessary for us to call in unsold copies to meet orders. Meantime, those who are desirous of procuring copies before the book goes out of print may have them from the ministers and missionaries of the Church or from the Editor, F.P. Manse, Oban, and Mr. Alexander MacKay, 531 Cathcart Road, Glasgow.
The late Mr. Alex. Macaulay, Stornoway.—We regret to record the removal of Mr. Alex. Macaulay, Elder, Stornoway,
on the 7th March. An account of this worthy man will appear (D.V.) in a future issue of the Magazine. Meanwhile we extend our deepest sympathy to his widow and family and to the Stornoway congregation.
