THE Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland having regard to the entirely erroneous assertion made by some (in recent contentions), that the Constitution of this Church has been departed from, or broken, Resolve as follows:—
“If any Minister, Office-bearer or Member within the Church agrees with that assertion, such are required not later than 30th October, 1946, to notify their Presbytery in the case of Ministers, and the Kirk-Session in the other cases. After that date, all will be regarded as being of one mind in maintaining that the Constitution has not been changed. This Resolution to be read from the pulpit and inserted in the Magazine.”
Collection for China Fund.—“That a retiring collection on behalf of the British United Aid to China Fund, be taken in each Congregation on a convenient date, within three months, to be arranged by the Minister and elders, and the gross amount forwarded to Mr. John Grant.
Date of Prayer.—“That Thursday, 22nd of August, be observed as a day of Humiliation and Prayer, to acknowledge the sins of the Nation and to implore the Lord for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.”
Congregational Payment of Students.—“That Students employed for week-ends be paid a minimum of £2 for each week-end, exclusive of lodgings and travelling expenses.”
