Galatians 5:7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? At a prayer-meeting on March 9th Mr. J. M. Scroggie said: — "At the close of an evangelistic meeting in Inverness I saw a young lady at the church door looking very sad. I spoke to her, and she told me she was a backslider. She said she was converted ten years before, and for many years enjoyed fellowship with Christ; but she began novel-reading. For awhile she read novels and the Bible side by side, but in the end the novels had the best of it, and she laid aside the Bible. She had then no desire for private prayer, and grew cold in her Christian life. She moved from the part where she was then living, and went and sat under the preaching of Dr. Black, whose earnest words showed to her that she must either give up the novels or her hope of salvation. She added, 'For some weeks I have been wretched: I pointed out to her suitable portions of God's Word, and soon the light began to dawn upon her darkened soul. She went home, fell upon her knees, and after lengthened prayer, between two anti three o'clock in the morning, she was able to thank God for restoration and joy and peace in Christ."
