A man with less force of character
than Dr. Duncan would have given
up in despair in the face of the al-
most endless difficulties and ob-
stacles that confronted him, hilt one
by one, by his sheer force of will,
and by his passionate hclicf in the ul-
timate success of his scheme. he sur-
mounted them, and pushed his ideas
through to a successful issue. In the
first year the bank took in deposits
to the amount of £151-, thc second
year £176, and £241 in the third
`year; and from then on success was
assured, and 'in the fourth year the
little bank took in nearly £1,000.
The Quarterly Review of 1816, six
years after thc forming nf the Ruth-
well Bank, says: "Justice leads`us.

lowed on pounds only. .
“Every depositor must lodge to
the amount of four shillings at least
within the ycnr, under the penalty of
one shilling.
"Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. _
is allowed to every depositor who
continues a member of the bank for
three years, but such as withdraw
the whole of their deposits before
that period receive only 4 per cent.

'and you trace the picture still furth-
in-r in this line:
I nccd 'f`h»y presence every pasain|
hour,
whilst you see how the last red glint
of the sunset inspired the following:
Hold 'I`bou Thy cross before my cloa-
ing eyes, ‘
Shine through the gloom and point
me to the skies.
The hymn was shortly afterwards
published, and before very long Hen-
ry F. Lyu had passed away at Nice
to his eternal rest. But the hymn
"Abide With Me" echoes and ro-
echoes throughout Christendom, and
has made that sunset scene on Tot
Bay famous for ever. _
