God
’
s
word
!
"
cried
Mr
.
Muirhead
.
"
You
’
ve
been
lamentably
ill
-
instructed
.
What
did
Joshua
to
the
people
of
Jericho
,
but
utterly
destroy
them
,
both
man
and
woman
,
young
and
old
?
What
did
Gideon
to
the
kings
Zeba
and
Zalmunna
?
What
was
the
command
of
the
Lord
to
Saul
when
he
went
out
against
Agag
king
of
the
Amalekites
but
to
slay
both
man
and
woman
,
infant
and
suckling
,
and
when
Saul
would
have
saved
Agag
,
what
said
Samuel
to
him
?

’
Rebellion
is
as
the
sin
of
witchcraft
and
stubbornness
is
as
iniquity
and
idolatry
.
’
Your
eyes
are
full
of
fatness
if
you
canna
see
the
Lord
’
s
will
.
And
your
conscience
!
You
would
set
up
your
own
fallible
judgment
against
God
’
s
plain
command
and
the
resolved
opinion
of
the
haill
Kirk
.
"
"
I
am
a
minister
of
Christ
first
and
of
the
Kirk
second
.
If
the
Kirk
forgets
its
Master
’
s
teaching
,
we
part
company
.
"
"
And
what
’
s
that
teaching
,
prithee
?
"
"
To
have
mercy
and
not
sacrifice
.
"
The
minister
of
Kirk
Aller
closed
his
eyes
as
if
in
pain
.
"
You
’
re
deep
deep
in
the
mire
of
your
carnal
conceits
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
thought
you
were
only
wayward
and
mistaken
,
but
I
see
you
’
re
firm
on
the
rock
of
your
impenitence
.
Troth
,
Mr
.
Ebenezer
of
Bold
was
in
the
right
-
-
you
’
ve
heresy
in
you
as
well
as
recalcitrance
.
This
is
Presbytery
business
,
sir
-
-
ay
,
and
maybe
matter
for
the
General
Assembly
.
I
would
be
a
faithless
guardian
of
the
sheepfold
if
I
didna
probe
it
to
its
bottom
.
This
complaint
must
go
forward
.
-
-
Meantime
,
till
the
Presbytery
has
adjudged
it
,
I
forbid
you
to
conduct
the
ordinances
in
the
kirk
of
Woodilee
.
I
will
appoint
some
worthier
person
,
lest
the
pure
gospel
milk
on
your
lips
be
turned
to
poison
.
"
"
I
refuse
to
obey
you
,
"
said
David
,
"
for
you
have
no
power
to
command
.
I
stand
on
my
rights
to
continue
my
ministrations
till
such
time
as
the
lawful
authority
sets
me
aside
.
Meantime
I
require
that
my
charge
against
Chasehope
go
to
the
Presbytery
equally
with
his
charge
against
me
.
"
Mr
.
Muirhead
was
on
his
feet
,
with
the
famous
glower
on
his
face
which
had
aforetime
awed
timid
brethren
.
It
did
not
awe
David
,
who
gave
him
back
stare
for
stare
with
a
resolution
to
which
he
was
little
accustomed
.
Indeed
the
vigorous
youth
of
his
antagonist
and
something
in
the
set
jaw
made
the
elder
man
pause
.
He
shuffled
off
as
if
to
end
the
interview
,
and
David
strode
from
the
house
with
unseeing
eyes
and
a
burning
heart
.
All
the
way
home
his
head
was
filled
with
a
confusion
of
angry
thoughts
.
He
saw
himself
caught
in
toils
at
once
absurd
and
perilous
.
He
could
imagine
the
prejudice
which
his
sheltering
of
the
fugitive
would
raise
against
him
;
he
saw
his
indictment
of
Chasehope
nullified
by
this
legend
of
his
own
visits
to
the
Wood
;
above
all
,
the
bringing
in
of
Katrine
made
him
clench
his
hands
with
a
sense
of
furious
sacrilege
.
In
that
moment
he
seemed
to
himself
like
a
child
without
friends
battering
at
a
wall
as
broad
as
the
earth
and
as
high
as
the
heavens
.
