Editor’s Illness.
Our readers throughout the Church will be grieved to learn that the Editor of the Magazine, the Rev. R. R. Sinclair, Wick, has been advised on medical grounds to take a complete rest from all duties for some time. The Synod has asked the Rev. J. A. Tallach, Kames, to carry on the work of editing the Magazine for a period of three months—up to and including the September issue. During that period all articles intended for publication in the Magazine, and any correspondence relating to it should be addressed to him. We earnestly pray and trust that under the doctor’s hands means may be so blessed of the Lord as speedily to restore Mr. Sinclair to his usual good health. Readers will be glad to know that latest reports from Mr. Sinclair are encouraging.
