61.) Letters: Rev. Duncan Stewart, Hawick (1)
      GLASGOW, I3th Feb. 1886. MY DEAR MR. STEWART, -Your 'Lectures' (On the Covenanters, which Mr. Stewart had been delivering in Hawick.) have reached me this week and last-both of them very fresh and most interesting. It has been to you a labour of love, and of 'brotherly love;' for these true witnesses for Christ's Crown and Covenant, though sleep ...read more

62.) Letters: Rev. Horatius Bonar his brother (2)
      DURNESS, SUTHERLANDSHIRE, 11th August 1869. MY DEAR HORACE, -I am often thinking on you and Jane, and the past ways of our God. 'Even so, Father.' May we not apply Christ's words- 'Thou takest away the gift which we would have kept, and givest other gifts. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight.' Last night you were brought up to my ...read more

63.) Letters: Rev. J.H.Thomson, Hightae (1)
      CRAIGNURE, ISLE OF MULL, Augst. 16th, 1884. MAN OF ZEBULON, who 'handlest the pen of the writer,' and follower of Ezra and his band, who not only read in the law of God distinctly, but who also 'gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading,' peace be with you. I suppose you are illustrating to yourself the wisdom as well as kindlin ...read more

64.) Letters: Rev. J.H.Wilson Edinburgh (3)
      GLASGOW, 14th Jan. 1863. MY DEAR MR. WILSON, -I have been hearing tidings of your state of health that are not very pleasant. Will you, if convenient, drop me a few lines letting me know? For you know Paul, had he been in our day, would have sent Tychicus 'to let us know' his affairs and how he was 'doing.' I have often been led to muse on the ...read more

65.) Letters: Rev. James Manson (4)
      COLLACE, August 30, 1844. MY DEAR FRIEND, -I am longing to hear of you. Are you better? and where are you? It is a sore trial to be laid aside, but it must be very sanctifying. It seems to be peculiarly a minister's furnace. Remember the Baptist. He preached in full health amid the breezes of the hills of Judea, and then at the waters of AEnon ; ...read more

66.) Letters: Rev. John Milne, Perth (13)
      KELSO, April 28th, 1846. MY DEAR BROTHER, -Do not forget Monday next. (Day of prayer and fasting) In spite of Satan and the flesh keep it from morning to evening. In spite of the temptation, ‘O this must be done, or 'that sick person must be seen,' or 'that caller on business must be listened to for a moment, only a moment !' -in spite of all, k ...read more

67.) Letters: Rev. John Purves, Jedburgh (1)
      DURING THE VISIT OF THE DEPUTATION TO THE HOLY LAND JERUSALEM, June 17th, 1839. MY DEAR JOHN,-I scarcely know how to write when sending you a letter from Jerusalem and Mount Zion. Our present residence is actually on the hill of Zion, and our windows look directly on the Mount of Olives. I feel like a man who has got before him more than he can ...read more

68.) Letters: Rev. Malcolm White, Blairgowrie (1)
      STRACHUR, 28th August 1879. MY DEAR MR. WHITE,-One word to assure Mrs. White and yourself that you are not forgotten in your sorrow. 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' When the Lord Jesus returns, He will bring with Him the little ones who fell asleep in Him, and how changed they will be! When my little boy died I remember Dr. Somerville ...read more

69.) Letters: Rev. William Armstrong, Rutherglen (2)
      20 INDIA STREET, 1st Decr.1885. MY DEAR MR. ARMSTRONG, - It was very kind in Mrs. Armstrong to write to me, letting me know that you are making some progress. I wonder what your meditations have been. Did you ever see the little book I enclose (Thoughts in Prospect of Death, by D.Rintoul)- the observations of one (I remember him in my college da ...read more

70.) Letters: The Misses Church, Glasgow (1)
      GLASGOW, 16th Jan. 1884. MY DEAR SISTERS, -An old minister, whom you have had some knowledge of, wrote to his friend a salutation that I offer to you- 'Grace, mercy, and peace shall be with you.' He did not say, 'May grace, mercy, and peace be with you,' but he said, 'Grace shall be with you (see margin), mercy and peace.' He was sure of it; for ...read more

71.) Letters: The Misses Leiper, Crossford (1)
      GLASGOW, 17th Feb.1886. DEAR SISTERS 'in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ' ! Do you not hear the Master saying, as He points downwards to our earth and to your dwelling, 'Our friend Lazarus sleepeth! but I am going to awaken him out of his sleep.' Your brother shall rise again, and that day is coming nearer and nearer ...read more

72.) Letters: Written for one in spiritual despair (1)
      GLASGOW, 9th Oct. 1872. MY DEAR MISS M., -. . . I read with great interest your own letter about your friend who seems so near despair, and this morning your sister has given me more particulars from your friend's letter to you. It is a case that reminds me of the Saviour's words, 'This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.' It is a case ...read more

73.) Meeting as a congregation.
      "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matt. 18. 20). NOTES OF A SERMON DELIVERED IN FINNIESTON FREE CHURCH, GLASGOW, ON SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1889. I believe you will find the origin of public worship in the book of Genesis, that book of beginnings (4. 26). Enos, the son of Seth, w ...read more

74.) Mr. James Mudie, Montrose (3)
      COLLACE, May 31st, 1844. MY DEAR BROTHER, -. . . I did not observe that there were five Sabbaths in June. I suppose therefore I that our Communion will be the last day of June. Now this would leave me the interval of one Sabbath to come to Dr. Brewster. . . . But I find that to be absent that Sabbath would not be possible without risking some ev ...read more

75.) Nicodemus.
      John 3:1-21 ; 7:50 ; 19:39 We have three scenes given us in the life of Nicodemus. The first is his interview with Christ. How he was awakened we do not know. It is of no consequence when and how it is done, if it is the beginning of the great change. You say, 'I cannot go one step towards Christ till I am born again and feel it.' That is a gr ...read more

76.) Onesiphorus: The New Testament Ebedmelech.
      2 Timothy 1: 16-18 and 4: 19 Paul had a heart that felt everything keenly. It is from his pen that 'Rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them that weep' comes. It is he who wrote in Phil.4: 8: 'the bowels of Christ Jesus.' Many times he speaks in this way, 'desiring greatly to see thee.' No wonder, then, that he so felt the kindness of ...read more

77.) Palestine for the Young - The Tribe of Levi
      The prophecy of Jacob regarding Levi was remarkably fulfilled : "I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel" (Gen. 49. 7). You have to search for their dwellings in every corner of the land. They were scattered and divided over all Israel; for they got forty-eight cities, taken out of all the other tribes, to dwell in, not to possess. ...read more

78.) Paul's fifteen days' visit to Peter.
      'Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.' Galatians 1:18 For three years after his conversion Paul was out of sight in Arabia. The Lord sent him there, as He sent Moses to Midian, to be trained for after work. It was an education time. He would, no doubt, visit Sinai (see 4: 25), and on the t ...read more

79.) Pentecost.
      NOTES OF AN ADDRESS GIVEN AT THE GLASGOW CHRISTIAN CONVENTION, 1880. The subject is the outpouring of the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, the fiftieth day after the Passover. It might be interesting and profitable at another time to take up the question, 'In what did the work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament saints differ from His work in t ...read more
