Deputies to Canada
Rev. H. R. Moshe Radcliff, who had been supplying Canada for a period, returned home to this country on 23rd May. Rev. Douglas Beattie, Plockton, then went to Ontario to supply the congregations there. He is due to return early in July (D.V.). The Convener of the Dominions and Overseas Committee, Rev. D.

We pray that the Deputies labours in Canada may be blessed of the Lord and that journeying mercies may be granted to all those who travel. “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.” Psalm 72 : 8.
