Publications.
The reprint of the “Westminster Confession of Faith,” called for by Synod has now been accomplished and delivered to Distributors and others. It is complete, not abridged, and a very substantial volume in every sense. The price is kept at the very low figure of 8/6 per copy, to encourage circulation.
“The Bishops controversy” and today’s declension in church and state should be reviewed in the light of this outstanding work based on the infallible Scriptures.
A supply should be on hand in every congregation. The names of Distributors appear in this magazine. May the divine blessing accompany this and other publications.—W. Grant Convener,
Publications Committee.
Inverness Manse Debt Cleared.
In the Lord’s kind providence the debt on the Inverness Manse has now finally been cleared. The present Manse at Auldcastle Hill was purchased in 1947 at a sum, including interest charges, of little short of £6,000.
No direct appeal for help was made beyond the bounds of the congregation. Donations were received, however, from time to time from friends throughout the church and to these and to all who helped in removing this heavy debt we wish to express our heart-felt thanks.
“O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.”—Rev. A. F. Mackay, Inverness.
