Rev. John P. Macqueen.—The Rev. J. P. Macqueen sailed from Vancouver on the 27th March for Australia. He expected (D.V.) to arrive in Sydney 22 days later. We trust our people will be refreshed and cheered by the visit of the Church’s Deputy, and that his labours among them may be owned and blessed of the Lord.
Tallisker Congregation Appeal.—The Building Committee of Tallisker Congregation on behalf of the congregation appeal to friends of our cause for help to build a missionary’s house.
The Church building is in debt to the extent of about £350. The need of a house for the missionary is urgent. The congregation feel that the burden is more than they can meet and they are thus appealing to kind friends throughout the church. Donations will be gratefully received by Donald Morrison, 7 Portnalong, Portree, Skye. This appeal is cordially endorsed by the Western Presbytery. (Signed) J. Colquhoun, Moderator; D. Macleod, Clerk pro tem.
