. MacDonald’s colorful and interesting career on the island.)

Bv GEORGE P. MacDONALD

The toll of travelling over the country and ministering to the destitute was Rev. Donald Mac- Dcnald's highest pleasure. Mui- titudcs flocked to hear im preach. in Barns. dwelling hous- . es, schoolhouses. and e

ropen air he proclaimed his com-

mission to eager hundreds.

Herc and there he organized his bands of workers and or- dained clders. As years rolled on. his interest in his great work increased. and great success crowned his efforts.

Spacious and elegant church- es began to take the place of rude shanties. His people grew in numbers in wealth. and in respectability. and in love for their minister.

To have him as a guest, or to drive him from one of his sta- tions to another. was the high- est honor. His eloquence was of in high order. Before commenc- ing his sermon he generally gave an introductory address. in which he would refer to the uao tional, political. and religious questions of the day, and com- mcnt freely on them.

N A LOW VOICE

He would begin in a rather low conversational tone; but. as he proceeded his voice woui become stronger. Then h whole man would preach-ton- gue. countenance. eyes. feet. hands. and body. - all would grow eloquent. The audience would unconsciously become magnetized. convinced and suaycd at the speakers will. Some would cry aloud; some would fall prostrate in terror, or drop down as ad. Seldom has such pulpit power been wit- nessed since the preaching of Wesley. Whitfield, and Edward irving.

But it must not be supposed that the abundance of Mr. Mac- Donald‘s labors as a preacher prevcnted him from giving at< tention to study. Far from it. Iliis intellect was too strong and too rigorous to rest. His pen was ever busy. He was profound- ly road in philosophy. He w a 3 deeply versed in ancient and ecclesiastical history. No super- IIClaI thinker was he. The pen of no one but a master could produce his treatises on “The Millennium" Baptism" a n d “The plan of Salvation." lie greatly admired the Hebrew and Greek languages. The Psalms of David. Isaiah's Prophecies, and Solomons Songs were his delight. lie was a graceful writ« er of English verse and an ex- cellcnt singer. He published sev- eral collections of his poems and hymns.

In the later years of his life one of his hymns was always run: at cvcry service set 0 some wild strain of his native Scotland. such as “The Camp- bells are Coming" or The Banks and “Braes o‘ Bonny Donn."

A BRAVE MAN

lie was a brave man. He had strong self-reliance, and still stronger faith in God. He at- tacked vices with giant blows. lie had rare conversational po- \l‘crs. His spirits were always fiend.

He knew the circumstances of t’vcry family in his widely-scat- tered flock. and remembered the names of all the children. He had no certain dwellingplace. no certain stipend and bestowed all he got on works of charity.

In 1861 his health began to tail rapidly. It was thought he would not recover. He wrote epistlcs to his congregations commending them to God. But he rallied. and was able. with Varying strength, to labor six years longer.

More than ever did his minis- tratIons breath the spirit of the
