The Trinitarian Bible Society.
The Annual Report for the year ended 31st March last shows a very substantial increase in contributions from Scotland. Auxiliaries and congregations of different denominations showed commendable sympathy with the work of the Society in its increasing circulation of the Scriptures in many lands. We note with special interest the support given by our friends in Australia, Canada and elsewhere overseas.
At the Annual Meeting the following Resolution was adopted:—“That this meeting of the Trinitarian Bible Society desires to record the goodness of God in maintaining the Society for another year, thereby completing 120 years of service in the distribution of the Word of God; and would reaffirm the principles upon which the Society was founded as set forth in the Laws and Regulations, looking unto the Giver of all grace for strength to witness constantly, praying that the Holy Scriptures, which are given by inspiration of God, may continue to be sent forth in increasing numbers to the glory of the great Name of our Triune God.”
We anticipate a further increase in contributions this year.

Edinburgh Induction.
In the Church, Gilmour Place, Edinburgh, and on the evening of Thursday, the 13th day of December, 1951, the Rev. Donald Campbell was inducted to the pastoral charge of the Free Presbyterian Congregation of Edinburgh.
The proceedings were presided over by the Moderator of the Southern Presbytery, the Rev. Jas. MacLeod, Greenock, who preached from the words, “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked: it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him” (Isa. iv. 10, 11).
After Mr. Campbell had answered the usual questions and signed the Formula, he was suitably addressed by the Rev. D. J. Matheson, and the congregation by the Rev. J. A. Tallach. Other ministers present were the Rev. J. P. MacQueen, London, and the Rev. J. Tallach, Oban. There was a good attendance of the public.
We trust that the blessings of the Lord will rest upon the newly inducted minister and his flock.
J. A. TALLACH, Clerk of Southern Presbytery.
