THE above Fund is now closed. There has been a very liberal response to the Committee’s Appeal for funds. Sufficient money has been contributed, not only to pay the cost and upkeep of a car for Shangani, but also to provide £200 towards replacing the car which has been in use at Ingwenya for several years. The latter is beginning to show signs of wear and tear, and the Committee decided it would be advisable to sell it, and with the amount realised by the sale, added to the £200, to purchase a new car for use at Ingwenya.
The Committee take this opportunity to express its deep appreciation and gratitude to all who so willingly responded to the Appeal. Rev. J. Fraser, before he left for South Africa, particularly wished to be associated with this expression of thanks. We are sure, however, that all our people, especially those who heard Mr. Fraser lecture on the Mission, will agree with us when we say that rather is he to be thanked; for, by the help of God, the success of this Appeal is chiefly due to his own unwearied labours.
Our people will be pleased to know that after a favourable and comfortable voyage, Mr. and Mrs. Fraser and daughter arrived at Cape Town on Friday, the 12th day of September. For all these things the Committee give sincere thanks to the God of all mercies.—Jas. A. Tallach, Clerk, Foreign Missions Committee.
