Daviot, Stratherrick and Tomatin Manse Fund Appeal

FORASMUCH as our Congregation have been raised to a sanctioned charge, and in the hope of having a Pastor settled over us; it falls to us to provide a Manse. As no suitable abode exists: the necessity is laid upon us to build one. Whilst we will do all in our power to achieve this end, the burden will no doubt be heavy. We would therefore appeal to friends throughout our Church to come to our help; inasmuch as the heaviest burden is easily borne, when divided into many parts, and the treasury is soon filled when many cast into it. “And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the Lord. . . . And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest until they had made an end. . . . Thus they did day by day and gathered money in abundance” (2 Chronicles 24. 8, 10-11).

Donations will be gratefully received and acknowledged by Miss Cameron, Farr Post Office, Inverness-shire, Mr. J. Fraser, Migovie, Stratherrick, and A. V. Dougan, Mission House, Tomatin.

This appeal is issued with the approval of the Northern Presbytery.—D. A. Macfarlane, Moderator; D. J. Matheson, Clerk.
