THE late Rev. D. Macfarlane, Dingwall, relates in his Diary that in 1900 he had an extraordinary nearness to God when all of a sudden he had a sharp attack of atheism which turned all his joy into misery. It was while in this state of mind that he dreamt one night that he was in the company of a number of the Lord’s people. As they were about to partake of food he was asked to say grace. At first he refused but on being asked again he proceeded saying: “Whoever heard of such a gracious way of salvation; there never was anything like it in the past; there never shall be anything like it in the future. It stands alone among the works of God.”
