On this day the fast has been kept before the Lord's Supper. Dr. Macdonald preached from Rom. iv. 1-3. Many of the Church gathered, and there was much fellowship in public and private. Many of the Lord's people meet at such times that otherwise would never see each other's faces in the flesh. Happy, indeed, are the people redeemed by the Lord.
Sandy Gair said many a sifting word if I could only record them. He said, "When Saul was at war with his enemies he made a vow that he would not eat till he gained the victory; but Jonathan ate of the honey and gained the victory. If we were eating of the honey of the promise we would get greater victories over our spiritual enemies, but we have more of the spirit of Saul than of Jonathan." He made also a good comparison between a bad watch and a bad heart as to how to repair them. "A man had a bad watch which would work now and stop next time, so he sent it to Inverness, but it was as bad as ever when it came back. He then tried it at Aberdeen and Edinburgh, but with no better speed. One day he opened it and discovered the maker's name and address on it. He at once sent it there and got it back in perfect order. Do this with your heart when none else will do, send it to the Maker."
