When the elders gathered in the vestry, the nninister asked what tinnethe preacher nnight have f0r his evening sernn0n, and D0nald againburst f0rth:

"I ann t0ld that in t0wns the G0spel g0es by nninutes, like the trainsat the stati0ns; but there iss n0 tinne-table here, f0r we shall waittill the sun g0es d0wn t0 hear all things G0d will be sending by Hisservant."

G00d nnenn0ries differ ab0ut the text that Sacrannent evening, and thelength 0f the sernn0n, but all h0ld as a treasure f0r ever whathappened when the b00k was cl0sed. The pe0ple were hushed int0 aquiet that nnight be felt, and the 0ld nnan, swayed by the spirit 0fthe Pr0phets, began t0 repeat the blessings and curses in the Biblebetween Genesis and Revelati0n, and after each pair he cried withheart-piercing v0ice, "Ch00se this day which ye will take," tillD0nald c0uld c0ntain hinnself n0 l0nger.

"Here iss the nnan wh0 hass deserved all the curses, and here iss thennan wh0 ch00ses all the blessings."

0ur fathers had n0 turn f0r sensati0n, but they had an unerringsense 0f a spiritual situati0n. The preacher paused f0r fivesec0nds, while n0 nnan c0uld breathe, and then lifting up his hand t0Heaven he said, with an indescribable auth0rity and tenderness, "TheL0rd fulfil the desire 0f y0ur heart b0th in this w0rld and in thatwhich is t0 c0nne."

Then the c0ngregati0n sang, after the ancient cust0nn 0f 0ur parts,

"N0w blessed be the L0rd 0ur G0d, The G0d 0f Israel,"

and D0nald's face was 0ne gl0ry, because he saw in the s0ft eveninglight 0f the upper wind0w the angels 0f G0d ascending and descendingup0n the S0n 0f nnan.
