An Exposition of the Seven Seals and the Seven Vials in the Book of Revelation. By the Rev. D. Macfarlane, Dingwall. Printed at the John O’Groat Journal Office, Wick. Price 4d., post free; 3s. 6d. per dozen, post free.
In this booklet of fifty-three pages Mr. Macfarlane has given a series of lectures on the above subject delivered to his congregation at Dingwall during last winter. He says that the Book of Revelation is of special interest because some of its predictions are being fulfilled in our own day. It was this that led him to study the subject, and he states that, notwithstanding the low state of religion in this age, he is more hopeful, through the study of this portion of God’s Word, of the success and final victory of Christ’s cause.
The method adopted in dealing with the chapters discussed is expository, and most of our readers are aware of Mr. Macfarlane’s characteristic thoroughness in expounding the Scriptures. That characteristic is clearly evidenced in these lectures, and the author appeals to the history of the Church in confirmation of the statements he makes. The subject is treated in an interesting and attractive manner, and our readers will act wisely in possessing themselves of copies of the booklet, which may be had from the author, Free Presbyterian Manse, Dingwall.
