—The Magazine Committee tender their sincere thanks to the anonymous donor of £50 to the Magazine Fund and a like sum to the Y. P. Magazine Fund. While, the Magazine Fund shows a gratifying increase on last year’s balance to credit, the Committee are none the less grateful for this handsome donation, the largest they believe which has been donated to the Magazine Fund during its forty years existence, and they would seek to express their acknowledgment to the Lord for putting it into the heart of the donor to give encouragement at this particular time.
Disturbances in Palestine.—At the time of writing this note the disturbances in Palestine are of a grave nature. Naturally our thoughts go out to our missionary Rev. Donald Urquhart, and we are sure we are voicing the mind of our people when we say that we are praying the Lord to protect him from danger in the trying situation. May the Lord be his shield and defence.
Rowdyism of Sabbath Trippers.—Recently both Fort William and Oban had a taste of what Sabbath breaking of the flagrant type is leading to. It is gratifying that the municipal authorities of both places are taking steps to avoid the repetition of such scenes on the Lord’s Day.
