By James Mackenzie
One of the most dramatic pages of
all history is that which records the
brief, tragic appearance on the world’s
clustered stage of Prince Charles
Edward Stuart, pretender to the
throne of Scotland, known to those
who loved him and served him as
Bonnie Prince Charlie. In one short
year, from 1745 to 1746, this dash
ing, daring fairy-tale prince led a
small, poorly armed, untrained army
of loyal highlanders into the very
heart of England. Indeed, he would
have seized London, and the British
crown, making himself undisputed rul
er of the British Empire, had not
some of his men, discouraged and
homesick, insisted on turning back.
The English were able then to or
ganize an army, and they hunted the
unfortunate prince from one end of
Scotland to the other. But though
they placed a price of thirty-thousand
pounds ($150,000) on his head, the
simple, faithful Scottish peasant folk
scorned the ransom to shelter their
prince. Finally he escaped to France,
dressed as the maid-servant of Lady
Flora MacDonald. Because of this,
Flora MacDonald was forced to live in
exile here in North Carolina, where
to this day stands a college that bears
her honored name. In her old age
she was permitted to return home to
die in the Scotland she loved, and for
which she had sacrificed so much.
Bonnie Prince Charlie, however, nev
er returned to his homeland, but died
a sad, frustrated, defeated man, on an
alien shore. Nevertheless, his people
missed their prince, and looked earn
estly for him to return and deliver |
them from the hated oppressor. Much
of the haunting, plaintive, beautiful,
Scottish folk-music centers around!
him, including this song that longs j
for his return:
Bonnie Charlie noo awa,
Safely o’ev the friendly main;
Mony a hairt will break in twa,
Should ye ne’er come back again:
Will ye no come back again ?
Will ye no come back again ?
Setter loved ye’ll never be;
Will ye no come back again ?
But theirs was a forlorn hope, a
hopeless hope. For they knew full
well in their inner hearts they would
never see their beloved prince again.
But we as Christians can look forward i
with certainty and assurance to the)
return of our Prince, for just as sure
as there is day and night, springtime
and harvest, summer and winter, so

shall the Lord Himself descend from
heaven to receive unto Himself all
those whose trust and whose hope is
in Him, and in Him only. Our Lord
will come again as He said, and
“unto them that look for Him shall
He appear the second time without
sin unto salvation;” for:
He is faithful that has promised,
And He’ll surely come again.
1 Some of you who read these lines
are not at all prepared for the return
of the Lord Jesus, and you are well
aware of it. Were He to come today,
you would not rise to meet Him in the
air, but would be left behind. Your
trust is in your “good works,” your
church-membership, in something oth
er than Jesus (Christ and the sacrifice
He made for you upon the cross. Do
not think you may rise to greet Him
garbed in the filthy rags of your own
smug self-righteousness. The ascen
sion robes in that , day will be worn
by those clothed in the white-robed
righteousness of Christ. 0 hasten to.
come to Him before it is too late.
Pour out your heart to Him in prayer,
confess to Him your sins, trust Him
and receive Him as your own per
sonal Saviour. And you who are
Christians, “abide in Him: that when
He shall appear, we may have con
fidence, and not be ashamed before
Him at His coming.” (I John 2: 28).
He’s coming back again,
He’s coming back again;
He went away, but not to stay;
He’s coming back again.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Prof: “Mr. Smith, will you tell me
why you look at your timepiece so

Smith (suavely): “Yes, sir! I was
