Message from Rev Dominic Smart Please accept our thanks for mentioning us on your bulletin and for praying for us. Just now it almost feels like a holiday! After the lovely wedding of our middle daughter last month and a family holiday early this month I do feel as if my mojo is back (as it says in Proverbs 32:11). We do know it can change quickly, but we are so thankful for this season. Please pray for the family as they carry all their own daily load as well as this extra one as they all rest on God. May the Lord be our strength and song. Christian Focus filmed an interview with me a couple of weeks ago that they put on YouTube. It’s at https://youtu.be/TySd1fjEma4 Thank you all again. It’s a joy to be able to pray for Garrabost, and to see so many ways that you’re wanting to show the Father’s love.

EADAR CANAAN IS GARRABOST (BETWEEN CANAAN AND GARRABOST): RELIGION IN DERICK THOMSON’S LEWIS POETRY Petra Johana Poncarová Since the Scottish Reformation of the sixteenth-century, the Protestant, Calvinist forms of Christianity have affected Scottish life and have become, in some attitudes, one of the “marks of Scottishness,” a “means of interpreting cultural and social realities in Scotland.”1 However treacherous and limiting such an assertion of Calvinism as an essential component of Scottish national character may be, the experience with radical Presbyterian Christianity has undoubtedly been one of the important features of life in the

  • Aspects of the Religious History of Lewis
    ASPECTS OF THE RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF LEWIS Rev. Murdo Macaulay was born in Upper Carloway, Lewis, the eldest child of a family of four boys and two girls. On the day of his birth the famous and saintly Mrs Maclver of Carloway predicted that he was to be a minister of the Gospel. This prediction, of which he had been informed, appeared to have no particular bearing upon his early career. It was not until the great spiritual revival, which began in the district of Carloway a few years before the outbreak of the Second Worid War, that Mr Macaulay came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever thoughts he may have entertained previously, it was in a prisoner of war camp in Germany that he publicly made known his decision to respond to his call to the ministry of the Free Church. The Lord's sovereignty in preparing him for the ministry could make interesting reading. It included a full secondary education, a number of years of military training, some years in business where he came to understand the foibles of the public whom he had to serve, a graduation course at Edinburgh University and a divinity Course in Up to the Disruption of 1843 the Free Church College. Mr Macaulay has a studious mind, a retentive memory, and scholastic ability for research. He has a good working knowledge of six languages, yet he is more concerned about stating facts than about This document is scanned for research and appears never to have been clothing them in attractive language.
