Rev. John MacDonald, Staffin, left this country in the middle of January, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Marshali, to supply the Ontario congregations in Canada for a short period. He is expected to return early in March (D.V.). Rev. E. A. and Mrs Rayner who visited New Zealand after their period of service in Ontario, Canada, were expected to proceed to Grafton, Australia, in the middle of February where they are to stay for a month or two before returning to this country. We trust that the Lord’s protecting hand will be upon the deputies and those who travel with them and that their labours in those distant lands will be blessed. We welcome to this country again Rev. Wm. MacLean, who returns to resume his pastorate at Ness which he laid down over 13 years ago when he left for New Zealand. We pray that his labours abroad will continue to be owned of the Lord, and that the Lord will also bless his labours begun again in Ness to the ingathering of many souls into the kingdom of Christ.
