Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of St. Paul Life of Our Lord and Saviour jesus Christ, I undertook the task of preparing a Life of St. Paul and during the interval much has happened to delay its execution. When I under took it, I was minister in the remote Scottish parish of Tulliallan and presently, toward the close of the year 1907, I was translated to St. Andrew's Church in the Perthshire town of Blairgowrie, where I ministered for two happy years. The employments of that large and delightful charge en grossed my time and taxed my scanty strength, leaving me small leisure all the less that my service in preaching was widely requisitioned, and I was continually engaged in the ministry of my British Weekly Correspondence. Then, quite unexpectedly, I was invited by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland to occupy the Chair of Theology in the Londonderry College. Reluctant though I was to leave a people whom I loved and a ministry so rich ahd glad and venture among strangers and untried responsi bilities, I could not but recognise the voice of God in an urgent call addressed to.me not only without solicitation on my part but despite my express will and now, as I review my experience, I bless His gracious providence and thank fully acknowledge the goodness and mercy which have attended me and mine since our coming here.
