"Where once you start men hating one another," said the Scotch Preacher, "there's utterly no end of it." I have seen our Scotch Preacher in many difficult places, but never have I seen him rise to greater heights than he did that night.

It is not in his preaching that Doctor McAlway excels, but what a power he is among men! He was like some stern old giant, standing there and holding up the portals of civilization.
