King Charles ll of England attempted ln M62 to regulate the form ol' publlc worship ln Scotland's Presbyterian churches. Four hundred mlnlsters refused to comply with the monnrch's demands, for which they were expelled from their churches. These ministers scattered over Scotland, often gathering a few loyal followers and retreating to a mountain cave, a lonely moor, or some friendly hut for a secret meeting. Such meetings were termed Conventlcles, and forbidden by proclamation of the king. Searching troopers often discovered and arrested these worshippers, lmprlsonlng the people, and perhaps putting the mlnlster to death. Such stern circumstances demanded heroic courage and loyalty. Our college ls basking today in the sunlight of those ideals for which the Scottish Covenanters tolled ln that seventeenth century gloom.
