Church Deputy to Australia and New Zealand
Rev. John MacLeod, Stornoway, was due to leave this country during the last week of February to visit the congregations in Australia and New Zealand as Church Deputy. Mr. MacLeod is expected to be away for about three months. We are sure that he will receive the same warm welcome that the earlier deputies received from the ministers and people in both those countries. We pray that his labours in those parts may be abundantly blessed by the Lord to the good of souls, and that he may return refreshed from meeting the friends abroad. It is likely that Mr. MacLeod will give a number of Sabbaths supply to the Auckland Congregation, as well as visiting other parts of New Zealand and Australia.
