Professor W. G. Elmslie, D.D.: Memoir and Sermons
Elmslie, William Gray
Elmslie, William Gray, 1848-1889; Sermons, English -- 19th century; Theologians -- Scotland -- Biography
That is not theory, but reality. It is not philosophy, but life; not
flesh, but spirit. It is the living, breathing, feeling love of God
become articulate. It needs no evidence of sense. In the immutable
instincts of the human heart it has its attestation, and in a life of
responsive love it finds an unfailing verification. It rests on a basis
no sane criticism can undermine nor solid science shake. Happy the man
whose faith has found this fixed foundation, and whose heart possesses
this adamantine certainty: he shall be likened "unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for
it was founded upon a rock."
Printed by Hazell, Watson, & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury.

JAMES MACDONELL,
JOURNALIST.
By W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., LL.D.
Daily Telegraph.
"Sincere, sympathetic, loyal, and artistic.... This masterly
monograph."
Graphic.
"James Macdonell was one of the most accomplished and brilliant
journalists of the day.... We have a full record of Macdonell's
life, and it forms one of the most interesting of recent books of
biography."
Academy.
"An admirable portrait, ... so carefully and so judiciously
written that the example it sets is likely to be followed."
Scotsman.
"An admirably written life."
Star.
"The story is told by Mr. Nicoll with admirable perfection and
a real sense of the value of such a record."
Church Times.
"The biographer has performed his task with eminent success."
Pall Mall Gazette.
"In many ways an attractive biography."
Spectator.
"Interesting and valuable."
Guardian.
"We are likely to have, for some time to come, no more light
thrown upon the mysteries of the 'leading journal' than there is
given in this account of James Macdonell.... The life of him
which Mr. Nicoll has given to the world is full of interest, and we
lay it down with sincere regret for the brilliant career which was
cut short midway."
