As other congregations in Dingwall have altered their Communion seasons to the first Sabbath of November, and the second Sabbath of May annually, the Free Presbyterian Church Kirk-Session agreed to so also, in order to have the same Fast-Day preserved in the town. The first Communion, in view of this new arrangement, will (D.V.) be held on the first Sabbath of November (instead of the first Sabbath of August) and the next Communion in due course on the second Sabbath of May (instead of the first Sabbath of February). This arrangement is, as far as the above Session is concerned, provisional for a period of three years, but will not be departed from unless the above agreement is found to be quite unsuitable.—Kenneth Matheson, Session Clerk.
