"-TH1 PREACHINGS" IN TEE
LEWIS.
A -n Hebridean Saerament.
- BY AMBLIA. E. BABB.
We- had run into the little roadstead
of VaItas with what our skipper called
"& lady's breeze"—that is, with a wind
that did not know its own mind ten
minutes at a time—and we- determined
to amber there until it came to some
decision. Besides. we were now in the
very country Mr. Black has transfigured
for us, and we Wished to see with our
owu eyes its wOnders and beatity. With
some diffieultY 1 we scrambled ashore
over the sharp rocks and the slippery
sea -weed, andel turning southward, a
walk of a mile brought ne to Meavaig.
Once a traveler cast on an unknown
land hailed with delight the sight of a
gallows, as a,eign of a superior civiliza-
tion. As we approached Meavaig the
bailie lifted his, hat to a Free. Kirk
steeple in mttehl the same spirit, while
Christina said joyfully she felt "like a
wandered wean who had just got sight
o' its father's house."
At Meavaig it was evident something
unusual was trainapiring. An air of ex-
pectancy was or every face, and boats
full of people w re coming from Scalise.
Carbonay, and t e circle of rooky. islets
inclosing.the wa ere of Valtas. Present-
ly we were overtaken by a most remark-
able figure-;. -a nan in a' large, black
oamlet cloak, anI a handkerchief bound.
'around his head. His steps were slow
and solemn, his yes cast do•wn, and his
whole person su used with an indesorib-
able air of sanctilty.
The bailie, wh was descanting in his
usual excited way a,boa•t the conquest of
the Scotch Highlands by English gold
(not steel) became suddenly silent, and -
then saluted this strange figure with a.
deep and sincere respect there was no
mistaking. •
"Yon are strangers 'here," the Man
replied. " Godgive you the good wel-
come. And was it to the Preachings
you hef come?"
Then we understood the solemn hbli-
diey air of the- hamlet. It was one of
those great "sacramental occasions " so
dear to the Highland faith and heart,
and eve were well inclined to accept the
invitation to remin. This was Thurs-
day, and, therefo e, the first day of the
holy feast. It h d been generally' kept
aa a fast day, bntf now, as evening -ap-
1 preached, hand eds, yea, thousands,
were flocking to he hill -sides. around
Meavaig for th4 annual preparatory
prayer meeting. We had received
directions which Hoon brought us to the
place—a gently rising series of " hills
and howes " covered with blue -coated
fishermen, and, plaided shepherds, and
women in tartan hawls or black cam -let
cloaks and snowy linen caps.
I knew that a Highland sacrament
was a protracted meeting, but I fancied
if the man who lead called ns -to she
feast was the minister it might be a very .
interesting one. But the bailie said he
was not a ininister at all, but one of a
remarkable class of Highland Evangel-
ista called "The Men."
"I'm Highland myself," he continued.
with an involuntary lifting of the head,
"and I ken weel what they hae done for
the Highlands. There's few folk know
more o' The Men han I do, and there's
neat) that thinksletter o' them. They
hae- been the salt o' the Highlands, and
that the best part o' the Highland min-
istry wilt tell ye."
41 But," I askedi "What eircurnetances
produced such an order ?"
" Weel. there's a because for every-
thing. The Men atrst were called
forth by the formalism and deadness o'
kirk was when D . Chalmers walked
the Established Tirk: -How dead that
'out o' it wi' the grand procession o' the
Five Hundred, on hat glorious day of
May, 1843, you, h e only ,to read the
lives o' Robert an James Haldane to
understand. Afte• the Disruptien hot
one of The Men was found inside'
the gates o' the national Kirk, and so
far as they exist noo—for naturally they
are disappearing—they are all found.
among the offiee-bearers o' the Free
Kirk:"
" Then they arose from an outburst of
_
spiritual zeal, very much as the Metho-
dists did in England ?"
" Mainly in that way, though partly
from another cause. Highland parishes
are yet very exteneive, but before the
Disruption it was, clean beyond the
power o' any mini -ter to oversee the
immense tracts of moss and mountains
sparsely scattered with humble huts
ever which he had. charge. So, good
and zealous ministers gladly availed
themselves of the help o' these men as
catechists, and it must be acknowledged
that to such ministers they cheerfully
submitted. themselves." .
"But they are not educated men ?"
“No, unless to 'be learned In the
Scripturee is to be- educate& If sae,
they are the best o -'j scholars. They are
just peasants; douig their daily darg -o'
wark, paying their day and their way,
but full o.' zeal, and mostly gifted wi' a.
ready and wonderfu' natural eloquence.
And they ken weel Iow to comfort the
sorrows and cares t ey hae all had. their
share o'."
"Te one we met had a strange air
of sanctity, and. his dress was very re-
markable." i
"Ay, ay ; they're'a! that way. When
men talk much wi' God you'll tak' no-
tice o' them. In Christ's time folk kent
wee -i enough the look o' them that had
been wi' him. 1 think that's nae harm ;
and as to their dresl, it's nae mair re-
emarkable than an English bishop's: -
shovel hat and grandmotherly apron,
I'm thinking. Bat there will be mair
than one at The Preachings, and ye can
sea for yonrael'." !
• Oh, how beautiful were those brown
hills clothed with wOrshiping humanity !
The sun went alowl down behind the
loch, the guillemots and razor -bills
sailed oceanward in soft -breasted pairs,
=tithe little highl4.nd cattle cropped
their evening meal of seaweed on the
beaoh ; but when the great white moon
had risen, and the aurora was charging
the midnight zenith [with spears el -rosy
light, the crowd was still on the hill-
side, and the sound Of prayer and sing-
ing was carried not only heavenward
but oceanward—far out to the belts of
foam round the mystical " Seven
REliniana,te.rs." and the lonely isle of St.
Very prominent among these worship-
ers were The Men. •Everywhere people
were eagerly asking if “ Tonald from
Uige," or Tagalcf, from Ness " was
there; and a respectful homage was
paid them, only lessithan that so mark-
edly given to the "'placed ministers!'
Their prayers were in every case re-
