Lady Victoria Campbell

"ETHICA" 261
this friggle-fraggle life takes it out of me more
than the arduousness of meetings in the dear
Tiree against all wind and weather, and the breezes
meanwhile giving me that wonderful thing called
"life."
I spent part of this week at the Mildmay Con-
ference. I thought of and longed for the Tiree
workers, that they should have all the help. Think-
ing of it, I send you the Syllabus of it. Next week
I will send you the " Christian," which contains
the fullest reports.
More than any of the addresses, powerful as
these were, from Mr. Wilson of St. Michael's,
Dr. Pierson, and Mr. Stuart, as out-standing
ones, I always feel freshly struck with the feel-
ing, " one heart, one voice." A sense of the com-
munion of God's Spirit and fellowship one with
another. I always think Sir Arthur Blackwood
is especially happy in setting the key-note. It
was a solemn time. One felt there was so much
searching of hearts, and such a sense that work,
if it be genuine, must be done in the power of the
Spirit, or prove utterly barren and unfruitful.
I left after the united Communion on Thursday,
when over two thousand must have sat down.
Sir Arthur greeted me with : " Well, shall I
go to Tiree ? " I said : " Yes, do." " Well,"
he said, " I shall see if McKinnon can put me round
in his yacht."
I really believe a few of these bigwigs are
possessed with a burning desire to see it !
