Binding of Magazines
It is hoped to proceed with the binding of Church Magazines already sent in. An offer has been received for binding them at a price of £1 per copy for hardback binding and 50p per copy for paperback binding. As these prices are very reasonable it is hoped that advantage will be taken of them. Would people who have sent in Magazines for binding please confirm their acceptance of these prices and indicate in which of the two bindings they wish their Magazines done. Intimation should be sent as soon as possible to Mr. A. Alexander, 133 Woodlands Road, Glasgow G3 6LE.
Synod Reports
All Synod Reports, etc., should now be in the hands of the Synod Clerks. Any Reports, etc., which are still outstanding should be forwarded immediately to the Clerk of Synod, F.P. Manse, Wick, Caithness.
“All that is under this vault of heaven, and betwixt us and death, and on this side of sun and moon, is but toys, night-visions, headfancies, poor shadows, watery froth, godless vanity at their best, and black hearts, and salt and sour miseries, sugared over and confected with an hour’s laughter, and the conceit of riches, honour, vain court and lawless pleasures. If ye look both to the laughing side and to the weeping side of this world and if ye look not only upon the skin and colour of things, but into their inwards, and the heart of their excellency, ye shall see that one look of Christ’s sweet and lovely eye, one kiss of His fairest face, is worth ten thousand worlds of such rotten stuff as the foolish sons of men set their hearts upon”.
