Church Deputies to African Mission.
Rev. R. R. Sinclair, Clerk of Synod, and Rev. D. MacLean, Assistant Clerk, having been appointed by the Synod, in May, 1955, to visit the Church’s mission stations in Southern Rhodesia, Africa, have arranged, the Lord willing, to sail for Africa on Thursday, the 26th January, 1956, in the Union Castle liner the “Pretoria Castle.” These deputies have need of the prayers of the Lord’s people, that the Keeper of Israel would surround them in their travels with His divine and almighty care; and that He would guide and direct them during their sojourn in Africa, and make their visitation there a blessing. They intend (D.V.) to return to this country by the middle of April.
