An Invitation.
Mr. James White, 41 Connaught Way, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, has sent us a letter in which he gives a kindly invitation of welcome to any men or women in the Services belonging to families of the Free Presbyterian Church who may be in the above district. We are sure that from what we know of Mr. White that any young men or women belonging to our Church will receive a kindly welcome. We take this opportunity of thanking Mr. White for his kindly invitation.
Payment of Synod Proceedings.
Would all those who received parcels of copies of Synod Proceedings, and who have not yet forwarded payment, kindly send remittance to Rev. R. R. Sinclair, F.P. Manse, Wick, before the end of March?

As the financial year for the Magazines ends on 31st March, subscriptions are now due, and should be sent to the General Treasurer, Mr. John Grant, Palmerston Villa, Millburn Road, Inverness. The subscriptions are 4/6, post free for the Free Presbyterian Magazine and 3/-, post free for the Young People’s Magazine.
Notice to Convenors of Standing Committees.
Convenors of the Standing Committees of the Synod are reminded that, by the Synod’s decision, the Reports of their Committees are to be presented to and approved by the respective Committees, and further that the Reports should be in the hands of the Clerk of Synod (Rev. Robert R. Sinclair) not less than one calendar month before the meeting of Synod so that they may be printed and issued with the agenda paper.
A Word of Thanks.
The Editor would take this opportunity of thanking the many friends who sent him telegrams and letters of welcome on his return safely to this country. He would also tender his thanks to the great number of our people who evinced interest in his welfare by their prayers. These prayers were abundantly answered and it ought to be with grateful thanks to the Lord that he is spared to pen these lines.
Unbelief.
(1) It would limit God—”He did not many mighty there because of their unbelief. (2) It fails to appropriate—”They could not enter in because of unbelief.” (3) It would make the promises void—”He staggered not at the promise through unbelief.” (4) It would hinder service—”Why could not we cast him out? Because of your unbelief.” Adapted from a quotation in Up from the Gates by Capt. H. E. Beresford Mash.
