These few short chapters owe their origin to the spiritual awakening that swept Lewis-and-Harris, one of the Outer Hebrides Islands off the northwest coast of Scotland, during 1940-1953. The council districts of Lewis and Harris together, covering 770 square miles, form by far the largest of this fascinating group of islands. The distance from Rodel in the extreme south to Port of Ness in the north, is nearly sixty miles. The population is about 25,000. Of these, some 3,700 are in Stornoway, the only large town. Of the other 21,000, some are in very lonely places but most are in more or less compact villages; and in several localities these villages are so near together as to constitute a large community within the compass of a few miles. These 21,000 people are almost wholly occupied in small-scale farming, or crofting, and in weaving -- on looms in their own homes -- the world-famous Harris tweed which, it is estimated, amounts to something like four million yards a year. Many still live in picturesque thatched cottages and Gaelic is universally spoken. The people are instinctively and traditionally religious, with still much of the old-time reverence for God, His Word, and the ordinances of His Church.
