MARGARET MACKENZIE

The setting sun was slanting =edly over
the hills that lowered in the rear of the val
ley in a secluded part of Scotland, where a
congregation of Covenanters were assembled
to hear Rev. Dougal Mackenzie preach to
them. Driven from their habitations by
persecution, they sought the solitude Of
the hills and wales that they might conduct
their worship according to their accustomed
usage. But they were not always free from
molestation, even when fleeing to the wilds.
Profane and cruel bands OF troopers tracked
them from fastness to fastness, and 1t was
only by the most strict and untiring vigil
ance that they could have any security to
worship in peace.
Rev. DOuga1 Mackenzie was standing in
the midst of the people, with one hand upon
the sacred scriptures and the other raised to
heaven. HeA had just concluded his dis
course. having taken as his text the words
For Joshua drew not his hand back, where
with he stretched out the speer until he
had utterly destroyed all the Inhabitants of
Al
Looking over his congregation, as il he
were speaking to each in person, he added:
And SUCH Heavenly Father, we pray Thee
may be the slaughter of the enemies Of
Thy servants
A deep and fervid amen" was the re-
sponse that came from the lips Of his
hearers.
Though Dougal Mackenzie had been a
pastor Tor more than 30 years, he looked
more like soldier than one whose duty it
was to proclaim the gospel of peace Tall,
erect and straight as an arrow, eyes bright
and gray, head almost white and frame COM
pact and we'll knit, he was q person that
would attract attention from the most casual
observer of men. His life had been one of
vicissitude and hardship, but through all
his troubles he had always born q brave
heart, looking forward to the day when he
might perchance seal his devotion to his
faith (as his father had done) by dying in
defense of his religion and his rights
He was man Of austere department. but
then he was sincere and ardent in his piety.
and very tenacious respecting the tenets of
his faith. His hard. dry theology caused
him at times to utter fierce menaces against
those whom he considered were given over
to Belial, and II anathemas could have
availed many q long haired cavalier would
have gone straight to perdition under his
withering denunciatfons.
In the front rank of the people sat the
pastors daughter, Margaret who. with
earnest gaze and meek look, had been await
ing the close of the sermon. As he raised
his hand to pronounce blessing there came
the gallop of horse hoofs, and the next In
stant man was seen riding 1T q terrific
up the valley. A few minutes later he
sprang from his steed and stood in the
midst of the people.
"What tidings bringest thou, Robert Lind
say!" inquired the pastor. .
s'There is NO time to lose, my friends"
cried Lindsay. ''The soldiers are at hand,
and. II escape II possible you must Be OF.
I have ridden hard. and only by the aid OF
the Almighty have l escaped to warn you.ss
