Death Of Rev. Donald Campbell, Edinburgh
It is with deep sorrow that we record the passing away of Rev. Donald Campbell, Edinburgh, on Sabbath, 20th November, 1983, the Sabbath of his own Communion. Mr Campbell became unwell in church and had to be removed to the Royal Infirmary where he passed away that afternoon. His passing is a great loss to the Church as a whole as well as to his congregation and his family circle. His interest in the Cause of Christ was not confined to our own land but, as Convener of the Dominions and Overseas Committee for many years he concerned himself with the interests of Christ’s Cause overseas. His labours for the Lord in this world have now ended and he has, we believe, entered into the joy of His Lord. To his widow, his sons and daughter, his sisters and other relatives we extend our sincere sympathy in their great loss, as well as to the Edinburgh congregation in the removal of a loving Pastor who ever sought their highest good.
Acknowledgment From Holland
It being impossible to answer everyone personally for their expressions of sympathy during the illness and after the death of our very beloved husband, father and grandfather — SAMUEL NIEUWENHUIS — we now thank all the Mission-friends from Scotland, England and Zimbabwe for their deep interest and the many letters we received. Also, many thanks that one minister represented you at the funeral. It gave us much comfort to witness the large place that our very beloved husband, father, and grandfather had in your hearts.

Ministers’ Illnesses
We are glad to record that Rev. Angus Mackay, Tarbert who has been ill for some months is now slowly recovering at home. Rev. Alex Murray, Applecross, and Rev. D.J. MacDonald, Perth, who both underwent operations in recent times, are now much improved and it is to be hoped that, in the Lord’s good providence, they will soon be able to resume their duties. In the light of these visitations we are reminded that the labourers are few. May we pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers into His harvest.
Australian And New Zealand Deputy
Rev. A.E.W. MacDonald, Gairloch, who has been engaged as Church Deputy in Australia and New Zealand during the last two or three months, was due to return to this country on the 20th December. We pray that his labours in those countries may be followed by a rich blessing. Rev. Donald MacLean, Glasgow, who is in New Zealand at the present time, visited Sydney and Grafton before going on to New Zealand. His services in those parts will, we are sure, be greatly appreciated by the friends there, and, we trust be richly blessed.
