Mr. Petros Mzamo is a native student of our S. Rhodesian Mission who received his education in our mission schools, and has just completed his Divinity training under the supervision of Rev. Jas. S. Fraser, M.A., with a view to labouring in his native country among his own people. Mr. Mzamo is expected to arrive in this country by air on 24th April, the Lord willing. The Lord prosper his journey and bless the ministry about to begin.

A. F. MACKAY,
Clerk of Northern Presbytery.
