TO THE KING’S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,
We, the Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, convened at Inverness, this twenty-second day of May, nineteen hundred and thirty-five years, desire most humbly and most sincerely to convey to your Majesty this unfeigned expression of our loyalty to your Majesty’s person and throne.
Most humbly we would acknowledge the great goodness of God in lengthening out your Majesty’s reign to this its twenty-fifth year, and it is our most earnest desire that your Majesty and Queen Mary may reign, with the blessing of the Most High, over a peace-loving and devoted people for many years to come.
We would humbly remind your Majesty that the countenancing of the Papacy and the desecration of the Lord’s Day in our beloved land, continue to give grave concern to such as are God-fearing of your Majesty’s subjects. Being firmly convinced that Righteousness exalteth a nation and that sin is a reproach to any people we would most humbly, but most fervently implore your Majesty’s influence for the correction of these great evils.
We pray God, for the sake of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by whom Kings reign and princes decree justice to bestow His blessing upon your Majesty, upon your Majesty’s consort, and upon the Royal Family.
In name and on behalf of the Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. (Signed) JAMES MACLEOD, Moderator.
