THE following interesting anecdote is taken from The Apostle of the North (Dr. Macdonald, Ferintosh):—”Amiable though he was, and prone to too great facility, he could, when occasion required, hold his ground very firmly, and rise superior to all the influence which might be employed to sway him. During one of his tours in Lochaber, he was invited by Locheil to spend a night in his mansion. Besides the clergyman, there was a large party of guests. Between nine and ten o’clock, card playing having been proposed Mr. Macdonald at once rose, and going up to Locheil, asked him whether he was to hold family worship. “Oh, no,” he said, “I cannot think of that to-night.” “And will you not allow me to engage in worship for you?” “Not to-night,” his host replied, “it would give offence to my visitors.” “If not,” the minister said, “I must go away; for I cannot remain where my Master is denied.” Locheil, anxious that there should be no spot on his Highland hospitality, but quite resolved against worship, urged him to remain. But he was quite as unyielding as his host, and left the house at dead of night, and walked several miles ere he reached a place of shelter.”
