Meeting of Synod.—The Synod will (D.V.) meet in the Hall of St. Jude’s Church on Tuesday, 18th May, at 6.30 p.m., when the retiring Moderator, Rev. James Macleod, Greenock, will (D.V.) conduct divine worship.
Death of Rev. Donald Macleod, Shieldaig.—As we were going to press last month we received the sad news of Rev. D. Macleod’s death. This is another breach in our ministerial ranks and a heavy and distressing blow to his family circle and to his congregation which but recently lost two of its elders and now its minister. We commend the widow and children to Him who is the Judge of the widow and the Father of the fatherless. Our sympathy, and we are sure the sympathy of the whole Church, goes out to them and also to the stricken congregation. We had expected to have an obituary for this issue of the Magazine but up to the time of going to press it has not reached us.
