An Appeal.—In order to provide homesteads in South Harris to enable the people to take their living from the ground, the large farm of Borve, about four miles from Northton, has been portioned out to about 20 or more families, most of whom are Free Presbyterians from other districts in South Harris. The people are busily getting up their houses, and it is desirable that a modest meeting house be erected at the same time, or as soon as possible, where services could be held in conjunction with Northton. As the people are poor in their circumstances and loaded with personal burdens they cannot do much more presently than give their labour free. Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged by Mr. Murdo Macaulay, Geo. Crab.
At a meeting of the Outer Isles Presbytery on 22nd July, permission was given to the South Harris Congregation to appeal for financial help towards this object, in the pages of the Magazine.—D. J. Macaskill, Mod. pro. tem., Malcolm Gillies, Clerk of Presbytery.
