[AprU 2. 1877.
sgoile ann am baile beng Bliaibeil, anns an earrainn
de sgìreachd Steornabhaigh ris au abrar an Cnoc.
Anns an àite so fhuair e an cothrom air an robh e
co dian an tòir ; oir air dha bhi suidhichte ann, a
thuilleadli air teagnsg na sgoile, chum e coinneamh
gach seachduin air son earail agus urnuigh. Bha
aige gu minic ri coinneamh a chumail air an
t-Kàbaid mar an ceudna, gu h-àruidh rè a' gheamh-
raidh, a chionn gu-n robh am baile ochd mile o
Englais na sgireachd ; agus arm an sin dh' aidich an
Tighearn oidheirpean dùrachdach agus iriosal a
sheirbhisich Oige. Uliabli mòran iongantas gu-m
bitheadh neach co og ris-san a' taisbeanadh uiread
a dh' eud ann an earalachadh a chomh-pheacach
chum iad fcin a choisiigeadh do 'n Tighearn ; agus
bha àireamh nach bu tearc, araon Og agus sean, air
an treòrachadh d' a thrid-san a chum eòlais na
firinn. iomadh cearnaidh de 'n sgireachd, thionail
mòran sluaigh g' a eisdeachd, air chor as gu-n robh
an tigh sgoile ro chumhann g' an cumail, agus gu-m
b' eigin tigh ni 'b 'fharsuinge a thogail air son nan
coinneamh, ni a rinn an sluagh fein gu toileacli.
An deigh saothrachadh bliadhnachan 's an kite so,
chaidh Mr MacRatha dò 'n Uholaisd ; agu3 air dha
dol troimh na ceumaibh fòghluim a tha feumail,
agus a chrannchur a thilgeadh a steach maille lis an
Eaglais Shaoir, fhuair e ce.id searmonachaidh o
Chleir Leodhais, agus shuidhicheadh e os ceann
coithionail Chrois 's a' bhliadhna 1844 ; agus anns
an sgireachd sin shaothraich e gu dìchiollach rè
dhà bhliadhna dheug thar fhichead. B' fhear-
teagaisg failain e ; agus bheannaicheadh a mhinis-
treileachd do iomadh anam 's an itite sin. Bha e a
ghnàth a' cur an cèill truaillidheachd nàduir agus
eucomais an duine ; agus, aig an aon am, ag
drdachadh saoir ghràis L>c mar aon thobar na beatha
agus na slàinte, agus cumhachd an Spioraid Naoimh
ann a oibreachadh eifeachdach a an anam. Cha
robh e idir gun chomas mar Bhàrd, ni d' an d'
thugadh caochladh dearbhaidhean anns na dànaibh
a chuir e ri chèile'. chionn trl bliadhna thòisich
a shlàinte air fàilneachadh ; ach air an fhogharaidh
so a chaidh dh' ath-ùraicheadh gu mòr i rè a chuairt
aig Srath-feobhair ; ach an dèigh pilltinn dhachaidh,
dh' fhàs e ni 'bu laige, gus an d' thàinig a chaoch-
ladh air a' chuijìeamh là deug de cheud mhios a'
gheamhraidh. Dh' fhàg e bantrach agus seathnar
chloinne. " Is beannuichte na mairbh a ghcibh
bàs anns an Tighearn."
Tha luaidh r 'a dheanamh, mar an oeudna, mu
bhàs Mhr Nicol, a bha ann an Aruinn, agus mu
bhàs Mhr D. Caimbeul a bha ann an Labhar; ach
cha n 'oil rùm againn 's an àireamh so air an son.
