Though enemies thus did their utmost to pour dishonour on the name and memory of Renwick, and to extinguish the cause for which he suffered, yet the Redeemer whom he intensely loved, and faithfully served, has in his providence, vindicated the one, as He has preserved, and will yet more extensively and gloriously display the other.  Not only have eminent historians and other distinguished writers, in recent times, done justice to the character and labours of Renwick, and the contendings of the Society people; but within the last few years, by several public Commemorative services in Scotland, the spirit and testimony of the later Scottish martyrs, have been held forth as worthy of the grateful regard of posterity, and commended to their imitation and adoption.  The Bicentenary of the SANQUHAR DECLARATION was commemorated with appropriate services,—­upwards of 4000 persons of different religious denominations convening at the ancient burgh of Sanquhar for this purpose.  The addresses delivered on the occasion by ministers and others, ably displayed and vindicated the position assumed by Richard Cameron, and his followers, and commended to public approval their testimony.  Some three years ago, a like public commemoration of Renwick’s birth and martyrdom was celebrated, at the place of his nativity near MONIAIVE, in the south of Scotland,—­ministers and people of the Free, United, and Reformed Presbyterian Churches manifesting the deepest interest in the proceedings.  Besides the ministers and large concourse of people—­many of them gathered from great distances, that met in the open air, near the place of Renwick’s birth,—­numerous congregations assembled in different houses of worship, observed the solemn occasion with solemn devotional exercises.  The addresses delivered were a suitable tribute to the spirit and conduct of the covenanted martyrs; and various articles of their special testimony were clearly displayed and ably vindicated.  An admirable sermon was preached at this commemoration by Rev. WILLIAM ANDERSON of Loanhead, which has since been published under the title of “the Voice of Renwick,” and extensively circulated.  It contains a condensed, yet lucid sketch of the life, labours and sufferings of Renwick, a faithful portraiture of his character, and an able exposition and defence of the great principles of the testimony of the Scottish martyrs.  There has been published in modern times no juster or more appropriate tribute to the character, principles, and heroic deeds of these faithful confessors, than is contained in this discourse.  On this account, as well as for the weighty practical lessons which it enforces, it is of no local or ephemeral interest, but deserves to be transmitted along with the testimonies of the Presbyterian martyrs to future generations.  These movements indicate the gracious design of Zion’s King to put lasting and increasing honour upon those who cheerfully suffered the loss of all things in maintaining his cause, and of yet
