THE Foreign Mission Committee have been deeply indebted to the late Mrs. Miller, Wick, for her labour of love for the natives in our Mission in Southern Rhodesia. We would take this opportunity to express our appreciation of her work for many years. The inspired Apostle was not slow to own, and acknowledge the humble service of women in forwarding the work of the Lord. We read of them ministering to the Lord of glory of their substance when the great and mighty of the earth ignored and rejected the blessed Redeemer. That loving, faithful, and humble spirit characterised gracious women in all ages. They realised how indebted they were to the Lord Jesus for the hope of the gospel. They shewed this on the resurrection morn. They were the first at the grave-side, which to their eternal joy they found empty. Mrs. Miller, we believe was one of them who rejoiced in the risen, and glorified Saviour. She was delighted to advance the cause of Christ, and see others enjoying, and benefiting from the gospel that can raise the poor from the dunghill and set by grace divine the coloured African, with the fair European at the right hand of the Lord Jesus when the heavens be no more! The Lord removed Mrs. Miller from the vale of tears to the eternal home of all His people. The blessed Redeemer will raise up others to take the place of those removed to carry on the work. We are pleased to notify our kind people that Mrs. Matheson, Free Presbyterian Manse, Lairg, Sutherlandshire, is willing to carry on the work which Mrs. Miller was cheerfully doing till called to the work which is eternal—”Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” All communications in reference with above should be sent to Mrs. Matheson.
