GLASGOW, I3th Feb. 1886.

MY DEAR MR. STEWART,

--Your 'Lectures' (On the Covenanters, which Mr. Stewart had been
delivering in Hawick.) have reached me this week and last--both of them
very fresh and most interesting. It has been to you a labour of love,
and of 'brotherly love;' for these true witnesses for Christ's Crown and
Covenant, though sleeping in the dust for a time, still live, and are
ready to meet us who love their Lord on the Day of His appearing. They
will be among those who were 'beheaded for the witness of Jesus,' and we
who sympathise with them shall be among 'those who did not worship the
Beast nor receive his mark,' either on forehead or hand. We shall reign
together! . . .--Yours truly, dear brother,

ANDREW A. BONAR.
