 | | REVIVAL THOUGHTS |
I have read that the Rev. Robert Murray McCheyne had the picture of the setting sun painted on the dial of his watch and underneath written, 'The night cometh.' Every time he looked at his watch he was reminded of his responsibility as a minister of the gospel and the charge entrusted to him.
- Duncan Campbell, The Lewis Awakening, p. 14-15
