Church Deputy to our Mission Stations.
—On behalf of the Canadian and Colonial Missions Committee, I desire to inform friends abroad that the Rev. D. Beaton, Oban, has been appointed to visit, as church deputy, our various mission stations. Mr. Beaton expects (D.V.) to sail for New York by the “Caledonia” on the 1st September. He hopes to visit Grand Rapids (Mich.), Detroit, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver, New Zealand, Australia, and also South Africa. Arrangements will be intimated later on as to dates and hours of services in the various places. It is the prayerful desire of the Committee and of all friends that Mr. Beaton may be carried in safety over this long journey and that his labours may be abundantly blessed to many souls.—William Grant, Convener of Canadian and Colonial Missions Committee.
