The Church’s Deputies.
Rev. John P. Macqueen safely reached Australia after a very favourable voyage. He spent about two days in Auckland, New Zealand. A service was held, the first Free Presbyterian service, we believe, in New Zealand. Mr. Macqueen purposes to re-visit the Island on his return journey and to conduct services there. The Rev. D. M. Macdonald by the time this reaches our readers will be nearing the shores of Scotland on his way home.
Meeting of Synod.
The Synod met at Inverness on Tuesday, 21st May, when the retiring Moderator, Rev. James A. Tallach, preached the Synod sermon. The usual report will be given in our July issue.
Meetings of the General Assemblies.
The General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland and also of the Free Church also met on the same date. We hope, as in former years, to review their proceedings in our August issue.

The Magazine Treasurer informs us that a few subscriptions are still unpaid, including some for periods of more than one year. Subscribers, he requests, would oblige by kindly giving the matter their attention.
