Death of Captain K. K. Macleod.—It is with sincere regret we chronicle once again the death of one of our office-bearers in the person of Capt. Macleod, Achmore, Lewis. We hope to have a fuller notice later on. Meantime we tender our sincere sympathy to his widow and family and to the people at Achmore to whom he ministered.
Death of Mr. Alex. Maciver, Stornoway.—We regret to learn that another of our office-bearers in the person of Mr. Alex. Maciver, Stornoway, has passed away. We extend our sympathy to his widow and family and also to the Stornoway congregation.
Held Over.—Owing to the space taken up with Synod matter we have had to hold over a number of articles and also the
Abstract of the Financial Statement. The Report of the Synod proceedings, which we have endeavoured to curtail as much as possible (while reporting the matters of general interest to the Church), and the Reports of the Standing Committees of the Church give an idea of the activities of the Church and the increased space required to report them.
