Notice to Conveners of Standing Committees.
Conveners of the Standing Committees of the Church are reminded that by the Synod’s decision the reports of their Committees should be in the hands of the Clerk of Synod not less than one calendar month before meeting of Synod so that they may be printed and issued with the agenda.
Daviot Appeal.
At a meeting of the Northern Presbytery held at Inverness on the 25th ult. it was agreed that sanction be given to the Daviot Congregation to gather funds for the erection of a Mission Church in their district, to seat about 200 people. The Presbytery commends this deserving object to the liberality of our people, as the Daviot Congregation is not itself in a position to bear such a heavy burden. Contributions may be sent either to Mr. Angus MacBean, Shoemaker, Tordarroch, Farr, Inverness, or to Mr. John Grant, General Treasurer, Inverness. (Signed) E. Macqueen, Moderator; D. J. Matheson, Clerk.
Church Deputies.
In a letter received recently from Rev. D. M. Macdonald, our Deputy to Detroit, he states that he has decided to give six weeks each to Winnipeg and Vancouver. He will also arrange to have the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper dispensed in both congregations. This notice may be too late for the Communion in Winnipeg, but anyone desiring information may write Mr. Macdonald at 1174 Dominion Street, Winnipeg, for date of Winnipeg Communion, or to Mr. Mackay, 778 24th Avenue West, as to the date of the Communion in Vancouver. Friends in the U.S.A., or Canada, who wish to attend the Communion either at Winnipeg or Vancouver will find the address of the places of worship on page iii. of the cover of the Magazine. Mr. Macdonald, at the request of the committee, is remaining longer than he intended when he left home.
Rev. John P. Macqueen is now in Vancouver, and in a recent letter, he says, that he will not sail likely for Australia until March. In that case Mr. Macqueen and Mr. Macdonald may meet in Vancouver, and take part in the services of the Communion.—Finlay Macleod, Convener of the Canadian and Colonial Committee.
Death of Mr. Osgood Mackenzie, Gairloch.
It is with sincere regret that we record the passing away of this worthy elder. We tender our sincere sympathy to the widow and family and the Gairloch congregation. A longer notice we hope will be sent us later.
