Rev Hugh M Cartwright
Mr Cartwright, who had been minister of our Edinburgh congregation since 1998, passed away to his eternal rest on September 20, after a short illness. One feels it particularly sad for the Church in this world to lose a man whom we might have expected to go on preaching the gospel for many years to come. We must recognise, however, that God reigns – over His Church in particular. But may we be stirred up at this time in particular to pray, earnestly, that the Lord would send out many faithful ambassadors into all parts of the world.
Day of Humiliation and Prayer
The Synod has appointed Wednesday, December 14, or Thursday, December 15, to be observed as a day of humiliation and prayer throughout the congregations of the Church on account of the accelerating decline of true religion and Biblical morality in the nation. “I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night. Ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth” (Is 62:6,7).
(Rev) J MacLeod, Clerk of Synod
