Appeal.
The Synod last year raised North Tolsta to the status of a sanctioned charge. Being thus encouraged, the people are proceeding with a manse building. The need is urgent and the time factor is important in the hope of carrying on the Lord’s work. The people are alive to all this and have contributed generously financially and with free labour. They feel, however, in order to hasten the work, they must appeal to friends throughout the Church for such assistance as the Lord may dispose them to give. Contributions will be gratefully received and duly acknowledged in the Magazine by Mr. John Nicolson, 9 North Tolsta, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. This appeal is endorsed by the Outer Isles Presbytery.—J. A. MacDonald, Moderator, D. B. MacDonald, Clerk.
