Collection for Magazine Fund.—At last meeting of Synod a statement was presented from the Treasurer, showing the monthly increase in expenditure due to war conditions since the pre-war date. This increase showed an expenditure of over £100 in the year. Included in this are Postages and Freight Charges on Parcels. Rather than increase the price of the Magazine the Synod decided to take up a Special Collection from our Congregations and Mission Stations, in this way to tide over any deficit in the Magazine Finances until better days.
