Congregation of Dornoch, Sutherland: An Appeal.
One of the recent storms, which began about the afternoon of the last Sabbath of the year 1951, destroyed our Church at Evelix, Dornoch. It was a corrugated iron church, built fifty years ago. The congregation was then much larger than it is to-day, and did not require to appeal for help outside the parishes of Sutherland.
It is expected that a brick building will replace the old one on a much smaller scale. The congregation, however, seek earnestly the help of friends throughout the Church to meet the present-day cost in building.
Contributions will be thankfully received and acknowledged by R.v. F. MacLeod, F.P. Manse, Evelix, Dornoch, Sutherland.
The Northern Presbytery endorse this appeal.
F. MACLEOD, Clerk of Presbytery.

In order to provide a further consignment of useful school equipment for our Mission in Southern Rhodesia, suitable articles will be gratefully received by Mr. J. Gillies, Church Officer, St. Jude’s, 278 West George Street, Glasgow. (Donations are used to purchase material as required.)
