Protest Against A.R.P. Rehearsals on the Sabbath.
At a meeting of the Northern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, held recently at Dingwall, note was taken of the fact that a number of A.R.P. rehearsals took place recently in several towns in Scotland on the Lord’s Day, and it is reported that Sabbath rehearsals are to take place in other towns. The Presbytery are aware that many members of the A.R.P. who love the Sabbath give their services voluntarily. Such will most readily attend rehearsals on ordinary week-days, and are prepared, we believe, to give their services even on the Lord’s Day if distressing circumstances should require them to do so. Such voluntary workers feel deeply aggrieved at being called upon to attend those rehearsals. Holding as we do that the Lord’s Day is to be kept holy unto God for the public and private exercises of His worship and that these A.R.P. rehearsals do not belong to the sphere of necessity or mercy for the mere purposes of practice the Presbytery profoundly deprecate such rehearsals being held on the said day. The Presbytery, therefore, hereby appeal to all those in authority in A.R.P. work to refrain from this flouting of the moral law.
Correction.
Our readers would have noticed that “not” was dropped on p. 460, line 9, from foot of page.
Safe Arrival of Miss Nicolson, M.A., at Capetown.
Word has reached us at the time of writing this note of the safe arrival of Miss Nicolson at Capetown and in all likelihood she has reached Ingwenya before this note is written. We are sure our readers will be pleased to know that by the good hand of the Most High she was taken safely through the dangers of ocean travel in these days of peril on the deep.
