Description: STORIES OF THE COVENANTERS IN SCOTLAND - Robert Pollok, A.M. (2004 Hardcover) These three stories, originally published between 1859 and 1871, are about Scottish "Covenanters" during the religious conflicts of the 17th century in the United Kingdom. The first story, The Persecuted Family, is about a young minister, his wife and two children. They are driven out of their home and forced to wander and beg, living in a cave or being hosted at random in some out of the way cottage. Unfortunately, the ending is sadly tragic.The second story, Ralph Gemmell, is about a young man of privilege. His father is a persecutor, but his mother favors the Covenanters. She dies when Ralph is in his early teens. He throws his lot in with the Covenanters, is caught but rescued by his dad. Ralph tries to be like his father and younger brother, but the call of Christ brings him back to the Covenanters. He is again caught but this time has his sentence commuted by an uncle, so Ralph is sent as a slave to the Indies. After some years, the persecution at home is lifted, and he returns where he reunites with his dad & brother. The last story, Helen Of The Glen, is about a young girl and her younger brother. Their mother is shot to death returning from a clandestine meeting. The girl, Helen, is a model of faith. Her brother, William, is not. He goes to Glasgow, falls in with an unbelieving crowd, and is influenced by the world. He returns to his sister for a visit, is somewhat shamed by her witness. His life thereafter is a series of struggles but ultimately ends in redemption. The writing style and language of the author, updated a bit for this edition, are still somewhat archaic for today's young readers. But the stories are poignant and memorable.
