1888
HT: Christian History Institute
Andrew Bonar was a minister in the Free Church of Scotland and a leader of Christian revival in Scotland. Among his friends was revivalist Robert Murray McCheyne, whose biography he wrote. He wrote other books, including Christ and His Church in the Book of Psalms and The Gospel Pointing to the Person of Christ. He was a strong advocate of singing in the face of difficulty.
The jubilee of his fifty years as an ordained minister was celebrated on this day 29 November 1888 and tokens of affection and appreciation poured in from around the world, causing him to write:
“May the Lord save me from the danger that lurks under praise and laudation of friends. I had no idea that I had so many friends in various parts, and that the Lord had been pleased to use me in so many ways.”
