Induction at Raasay.
On 26th August the Western Presbytery met in Raasay Church to induct the Rev. J. A. Macdonald, formerly of Applecross, to the pastoral charge of the congregation. There was a large congregation present, many having come from various parts of Skye. The Moderator, Rev. A. Beaton, Gairloch, preached from II Cor. iv. 5. Public worship being ended, the Moderator addressed the usual questions to Mr. Macdonald, which were answered by him satisfactorily, and having subscribed the Formula, he was, after prayer to God, inducted to the pastoral charge of the congregation, and given the right hand of fellowship by the members of Presbytery present. Thereafter the newly inducted minister was addressed by the Rev. Donald Maclean, Portree, and the congregation by the Clerk. The Call was signed by 14 members and 192 adherents. May the Great Head of the Church bless the ministry that has begun, so that His heritage may be refreshed and many called from darkness into God’s marvellous light.—John Colquhoun, Clerk.
