Opening of New Church in Dumbarton.

On Saturday, the 26th day of February, this place of worship was opened by the Rev. James McLeod, Greenock, who preached an appropriate sermon from Ps. xviii. 11-14. Revs. A. Cattanach, M.A., and D. J. Matheson, Interim Moderator, took part in the service. Many from St. Jude’s congregation were present, with the result that the Church was filled to its utmost capacity—some standing in the vestibule. It cost about £2,500 and was opened free of debt. It is a very compact, comfortable Church, built on a suitable site in Millburn Crescent. May the truth, which endureth unto all generations, preached within its walls be blessed to perishing souls.—D. J. M.
