Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. W. H. Hewitson: Late Minister of the Free Church of Scotland, at Dirleton

The singular elevation of his Christian walk, so far surpassing what is ordinarily seen in this age of dwarfed spirituality, is fitted to stimulate the people of God to loftier attainments in holiness, and fitted also to arrest and win to Christ those who have a name that they live, but are dead.

It is no mere sentimentalist whose character we por tray. Genius and high scholarship, dedicated to the service of Christ, and laid a living sacrifice at His feet, is the life sketched in these pages. The reader will discover with how fascinating a charm that element invests the man of God.
