Dr. Horatius Bonar, as he drew the curtains at night and retired to rest, used to repeat to himself the words, as if in prayer, and certainly with expectancy, “Perhaps tonight, Lord!” In the morning, as he awoke and looked out on the dawn of a new day, he would say, looking up into the sky. “Perhaps today, Lord!” He expected the Lord to return at any moment. Bonar was in the Lord’s service for over 60 years.
