It was agreed at the Synod in May that only anonymous donations are to be acknowledged in the Magazine. We would be grateful if Treasurers would adhere to this rule when sending in lists for acknowledgement in the Magazine.
Death of Grafton Elder
We were sorry to receive word from Australia that Mr Kidd, one of the elders in Grafton, passed away in June. Mr Kidd who attained a good old age (he would be about 86), will be greatly missed in the Congregation there. We would extend sympathy to the sorrowing family circle and congregation. No doubt an account of this worthy man will appear in due course.
