At that loud cry, women began to sob, and some of the people rose from their seats.
"Be still," commanded the minister.

"Rend your hearts and not your garments.

Let us pray." And as he prayed, the cries and sobs subsided and a great calm fell upon all.

After prayer, the minister, instead of giving out a closing psalm, solemnly charged the people to go to their homes and to consider that the Lord had come very near them, and adjured them not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God.

Then he dismissed them with the benediction.
The people went out of the church, subdued and astonished, speaking, if at all, in low tones of what they had seen and heard.
Immediately after pronouncing the benediction, the minister came down to find Macdonald Dubh, but he was nowhere to be seen.
