A HIGHLAND PARISH.
He has been writing to us that this very Bible
has been blessed for good to several of his fellow-
soldiers to whom he used to read it. And now
have we not cause to be thankful ? Oh, let people
never lose their hope in God. Let neither hard¬
ships nor poverty compel them to break His law,
nor to neglect His ordinances. The higher the tem¬
pest strikes, (the louder the tempest rages,) the
closer may they flee to the shadow of the Great
Rock in the weary land. Thou, Lord, hast said,
and true are all Thy words, “ Because he hath set
his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him. I
will set him on high, because he hath known my
name and it is we who have experienced that
“ faithful is He who hath promised.’
