WE have pleasure in directing the attention of our readers to this volume issued from the “Courier” Office, Inverness. Mr Lachlan’s fame is in all the North. His pithy style, touched with the spark of genius, his fervent spirituality, his deep insight into the dark recesses of the human heart, and his knowledge of the devices of Satan all went to make Mr Lachlan’s utterances memorable. Here we have a man whose heart was filled with love to his Master, whose preaching was signally owned by his Lord. To him Bunyan’s description, with a slight adaptation, may be applied—”His eyes were lifted to heaven, the best of books was in his hand, the law of truth was written upon his lips, the world was behind his back. He stood as if he pleaded with men, and a crown of gold did hang over his head.”
Mr James Campbell, one of our Inverness elders, to whom we are indebted for the issue of this volume, deserves the hearty thanks of all who love the good old ways of Gospel truth as proclaimed by one of the most famous of Highland preachers. A fuller notice of the contents of the book will appear in a later issue. Meanwhile we strongly recommend all our readers who have not ordered a copy to do so without delay. It may be had from the “Courier” Office, Inverness. Price 3s, Postage 6d extra.
