The members of Mrs. Stewart Sande man's family paid her occasional visits; but as she always refused any proposal to have a resident companion, she lived much alone. On New Year's Day, 1859, she wrote in her journal: --"Though all of earth be taken away or shaken to the centre, His purpose stands. "' 0 but the counsel of the Lord Doth stand for ever sure, And of His heart the purposes From age to age endure.' "Blessed purposes are they! He took my beloved ones; His saving purpose of love awakened them, then united them to Jesus, made their light shine, and stamped their brow with His image. He said to each, 'Come up hither, ' and was with them in the valley. They are, by His love, with Him in glory. All is well. Now, in the shakings of earth, be Thou with me. I renounce all strength, all of self; but I ask full strength, and all of Thy self in the stead thereof. Alone, but desiring to be led to-morrow to Thy table. Let my prayer come up before Thee for my loved ones yet left. Oh claim every soul as Thine own. This is my petition; this is my request this New Year's Day.

The Glasites or Sandemanians were a branch of the church with their roots in Scotland, but who spread much wider. This study seeks to explore their distinctives, both of theology and practice, and to place them in a wider context. The examination of a small sect serves to illuminate the wider story, and this particular community nurtured within it several eminent thinkers whose influence has been of deep importance—not the least, the scientific pioneer Michael Faraday. In exploring both their growth and their decline, the author seeks to convey something of the flavor of this part of the church and to consider what their legacy is.
