I have had much Scotch reading.

The "Life of Dr.Lee;" Macdonald's "Love, Law, and Theology;" last, not least, Lady Nairne.

I am equally struck with her life, and her singularly beautiful songs, and this though she was Tory and Puritan; I am opposed to both.

Her character brings into view a problem common to all times, but also I suppose special to this.

I take it that if there is a religious body upon earth that fully and absolutely deserves the character of schismatical, it is your Drummond secession.
