Literature to the Forces Fund.—At last meeting of Synod it was agreed that owing to the refusal of the Paper Control to grant paper for the printing of additional Magazines that a new Fund be opened under this title. Booklets, Tracts, etc., are being sent to the different branches of the services including the women’s organisations. Our General Treasurer will be pleased to receive such contributions for this purpose as may be sent to him.
Books for the Forces.—It was further decided that all willing to help by sending books for the Forces may do so by sending them to Mr. Finlay Beaton, 11 Greig Street, Inverness. Many of our readers may have books in their possession which they enjoyed reading themselves and which they would be willing to pass on to those who are risking their lives for us. Large books or heavy in weight should not be sent. Mr. Beaton will despatch these to the various reception depots.
