Fearn New Church Building
At a meeting of the Deacons’ Court of the Tain and Fearn congregation held on 8th August, 1963, gratitude was expressed to the alone Head of the Church for giving such willingness of heart to many subscribers to help to defray the cost of the New Church Building. It was noted that the sum of £1,300 had already been subscribed, leaving about £1,700 of debt to be met.
Further donations will be gratefully received and acknowledged by the Treasurer, Mr Wm. MacDonald, 3 Shore Street, Balintore, Fearn.—D. S. Kelly, Clerk (pro. tem.).
Home of Rest
Preparatory work at Ballifearay House is being attended to by the Sub-Committee in Inverness. This involves due consideration of various problems arising, and the Committee’s activity is much appreciated. The funds urgently required will, it is hoped, be received without much delay. Those who have contributed are sincerely thanked.—W. Grant, Convener.
Rhodesian Mission News
Our readers will be interested to hear that Miss Jean Nicolson, M.A., who has been home in Scotland from our Rhodesian Mission for some time now, has once more returned to active service on the Mission. We know that the natives, as well as the European staff, will be very pleased to see her among them again. May the Lord strengthen Miss Nicolson, and all our staff there, for their varied tasks. Our readers, who have not heard already, will be interested to learn that there were two marriages on the Mission, at Zenka, on Friday, 30th August, 1963, at 12 noon, Miss Lilian B. D. Fraser to Rev. Donald M. Campbell, and Miss Helena M. MacKenzie to Mr James A. Tallach. We wish our young friends all joy in the Lord Jesus Christ. All four are members of the Mission staff.
