Missionary’s House for Fort William Congregation.—At last meeting of the Southern Presbytery it was reported that, through the kindness of friends and the praiseworthy efforts of the Fort William congregation, the debt on their church building had been cleared off. A request was made to the Presbytery for permission to reconstruct the house over the church building for a missionary’s house and that, further, permission be granted to collect funds with this object in view. The reconstruction had been planned when the building was purchased but owing to the debt on the church building it was departed from. The difficulty of obtaining material and its high cost will hold up the work in the meantime but it has been decided to proceed collecting which has received the Presbytery’s sanction in the hope that the congregation may have some money on hand when scarcity of material and high prices will not be such a handicap as they are to-day. The congregation while willing to do all they can themselves, appeal to friends of the cause throughout the Church to give a helping hand. Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged by Miss Rankin, Mamore Cottage, Fort William, or by Rev. D. Beaton, Free Presbyterian Manse, Oban.
