Most readers will already know that the Rev. Donald Beaton MacLeod, MA, the Magazine’s Editor for the past twenty-five years, suddenly passed away on the 16th day of January. This issue was prepared by him and was actually in his hands for proof-reading when the time of his departure came. It is, therefore, with great and inexpressible sadness that this notice of his death is appended. The pages of this Magazine, over the years, have borne eloquent and ample testimony to the faithfulness and diligence with which he served his Master in heaven. He has now gone to receive His commendation and to enter into His joy. The loss we have sustained by his death is incalculable but since for him to live was Christ, so to die was immeasurable gain. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” A fuller notice will appear in due course.
