COLLACE, Tuesday Morning. (probably written about 1845) MY DEAR WILLIAM, —Here is a neat plan of Jerusalem and the country round, to which I have added a few names.

Letters: Mr. William Dickson Edinburgh (5)
COLLACE, Oct. 6th, 1846. MY DEAR FRIEND, —I have this moment got a refreshing word which being a piece of the Bread of Life I may share with you. It is Ruth 1:21: 'The Almighty hath afflicted me.'

Letters: Mrs. Horatius Bonar his sister-in-law (2)
GLASGOW, 28th Oct. 1864. MY DEAR JANE, —Perhaps you and Horace will excuse me for not writing sooner. It requires something to raise me before I can at present take up the pen.

GLASGOW, 17th March 1858. MY DEAR MRS.

GIRVAN, 16th Aug. 1862. MY DEAR JESSIE, ... It is so still to-day, the sea like glass, and somehow everything seems to fall in suitably with our present feelings.

Letters: Rev. A.N.Somerville Glasgow (8)
Monday, Dec. 11th, 1837. MY DEAR ALIC, —you now know the beginning of a full ministry in the Gospel of Christ. Has it, then, solemnised you deeply?

GLASGOW, 28th Oct. 1864. MY DEAR JOHN, —I cannot tell how helpful you have been to me during this season.

Andrew Bonar (1810 - 1892)
He was a well-known pastor in Scotland with the Free Church. His brother Horatius was another well-known minister who was contemporary with Robert Murray Mchyene and others in those days. They saw a move of revival in their churches where the Spirit brought many immediate conversations in a short period of time.He is best known for his work on compiling the life of the prophet of Dundee: Robert Murray Mchyene: "Memoir and Remains of Robert Murray McCheyne." One cannot read this volume and feel the sobriety of eternity and the fear of the Lord. He also wrote a wonderful volume on Leviticus.
Andrew Alexander Bonar was a minister of the Free Church of Scotland, and the youngest brother of Horatius Bonar.
He studied at Edinburgh; was minister at Collace, Perthshire, 1838 - 1856 (both in the Church of Scotland and the Free Church); and of Finnieston Free Church, Glasgow, 1856 till his death.
He was identified with evangelical and revival movements and adhered to the doctrine of premillennialism. With Robert Murray McCheyne he visited Palestine in 1839 to inquire into the condition of the Jews there. During the visit of Dwight L. Moody to Britain in 1874 and 1875, Moody was warmly welcomed by Bonar, despite the latter receiving considerable criticism from other Calvinist ministers in the Free Church.
Andrew Bonar preached from the whole Bible, the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation. When one of his friends remarked on his originality in finding subjects for preaching, and wondered where he got all his texts, he just lifted up his Bible. He did not ignore any part of it, but explained it all. He did not shy away from any passages that might be seen as unpopular or unpleasant. Even the first chapters of Chronicles became 'God calling the roll of mankind.' He made it come alive as a history of men and women, living in their time, as we live in ours, accountable to God.
Christ and Him crucified was at the centre of all his preaching, in all parts of the Bible. He declared 'the whole counsel of God', and was deeply aware of his responsibility as a man of God. He spent hours every day in prayer and meditation of the Scriptures, and asking for the Holy Spirit to show the truth to him, so that he might pass it on to his flock. He wrote in a letter: "Persevering prayerfulness is harder for the flesh than preaching."
Above all, he was aware that his personal holiness would be of crucial importance to his preaching, as his remark shows: "Sins of teachers are teachers of sins."
