Speees & Co., 128 Bay Street. 1891. ^*fe«t MR. DAVID MACDONALD (Ebc Caiiabian €raitaclist (f M R. MACDONALD has hibored in tlic United States and in Canada, as an Evangelist, with nniform acceptance, and with increasing evidences of Divine approval. Two years since, he engaged in similar work in Lon- don, with marked success, for three montiis, and was reluctantly compelled to givs up his contemplated mission, because of private obligations pressingly calling him home. In the meantime, while directing a prosperous busi- ness, he has improved opportunities in the home field, at one time laboring with great comfort and success, in ])onar Presbyterian Church, a young and growing con- gregation in the City of Toronto. For some time Mr. Macdonald has felt a strong im- pression that the Lord has work for him in Scotland, or in Ireland, and he is now so released from personal oversight of his business, as to give freely six months of time in Evangelistic services, wherein the Lord may shew an open door. His simple aim and desire is to win souls for Christ. He does not claim to have learning, or gifts such as the schools of earthh' wisdom confer, but he does long t(j preach the Gospel in the primitive way, as the " Men of Cyprus and Cyrene" did, "preaching the Lord Jesus." We cheerfully commentl him to the people of God, whether m connection with the churches of our Lord or with independent Mission:^ and pray tliat the Divine blessing may abundantly rest upon him. Mr. Macdonald does not enter on this work for gain, though fully sub- scribing to the scriptural truth, that thclnborcr is worthy of Ins hire, yet he also feels such a deep interest in Foreign Missionary Work, that all donations he may receive, will be sacredly applied to the Evangelical Missions now being established in Central Africa. Believing our dear brother has been led into this consecration by the Holy Spirit, we invoke in his behalf, the intercessions of all God's people, that his labors may tend to promote, and magnify the glory of our coming Lord. H. M. PARSONS. EVANGFLISTIC SERVICES These, held periodicallv, and when aggressive work is the object, are admitted by ministers, everywhere, to have proven a source of great blessing, alike to those actively engaged, and to the thousands who for the first time, perhaps, have been brought thus under the saving influence of the Gospel; and in such special work, experience shows that better results are attained when the same preacher conducts the services, than when there is a change every evening. It is found that one preacher can, by a judicious choice of subjects, better sustain the interest, and intelligently lead his hearers, step by step into the truth. TESTIMONIALS Knox ("luircli, Toronto, Crinada, Dr. H, M. I'arsons, I'astor. Mr. IXivid Macdonald is a member of tlie Presbyterian Church of Canada, who lias been led to en),'age in Kvanj^elistic labors in the United States and in Canada, with many evidences of the Divine approval. He is earnest, pra\ erful, devoted, and scriptural in his presentation of Christ to the minds and hearts of his hearers. Knowinj,' him personally to be an humble and honest believer in Jesus Christ, wlio has had large experiences of the gracious promises ot Ciod, 1 have no hesitation in commending him as a faithful witness for the Lord, and one who has been largely owned of Him, in Evangelistic work.

DicAR 1^rf,thki:n : Mr. David Macdonald, who is devoting himself to the work of an Evangelist, has, on several occasions, occupied my pulpit, with profit to my people. We all love and respect him as a devout and self-sacrifiiing servant of Christ, a genial companion, an earnest student of the word, and a sound and forcible preacher of the Gospel. I have much pleasure in commending '^'^other Macdonald to the sympathy and confidence of all who lov tiie Lord Jesus. Fraternally, A. Murdoch. Markham, Ontario, Can., Nov. 28th, 1888. Let this certify to all whom it may concern, that I am per- sonally acquainted with Mr. David Macdonald, "The Toronto Evangelist," and I consider him a most devout man of God, and a powerful preacher of the truth as it is in Jesus, and he is a most faithful .student of the Bible and its teachings.

It was resolvad that Mr. David Macdonald, "The Toronto Evangelist," having conducted a two weeks series of special services in this church, in end of November and beginning of December, last, we as a session b^ar testimony to the high Christian character of Mr. Macdonald ; to the efficiency of his labors here ; his ardent entire consecration to the Master; to his powerful, interesting, and earnest manner of pre.senting the sitn[)le Gospel, in simple language, that we have much reason to believe much good was accomplished by his efforts here. We can heartily commend him to any congre- gation desiring the help of an Evangelist, and pray that his labors 8 may l)e greatly blessed wherever the Master calls; that a copy of this resolution be sent to Mr. Macdonald, with the expression of heartfelt gratitude for his services.

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : This is to certify that JBro. David M.acd-jnald, Evangelist, of Toronto, assisted us in special services every evening for two weeks in January last. His preaching was descriptive and scriptural, his manner impressive and earnest, and God blesied his word to the •inickening of .s.iints and the salvation of sinners. We found Mr. Macdonald free from many of the weaknesses of the " Modern Kvangelist," and his work was very much more satisfactory than is often the case with evangelists; and we can assure him of a veiy hearty welcome from our church and the community, if in tlie providence of God he should visit us again. Praying that the great Head of the Church will continue to guide and richly bless our I3rother in leading many souls into the full light of the gloriou.s Gospel of our blessed Saviour. Yours in the Master's service, A. K. De St. Dalmas. Pastor of the Petrolea Baptist Church. 49S Pape Ave., Toronto, March 7th, uSgi, During the greater part of my absence, in the old country last summer, Mr. David Macdonald, "The Canadian Evangelist,'' filled my pulpic with much acceptance. He has also conducted'a series of Evangelistic services in my Church in Toronto, and has proved himself well qualified for such work. His grasp of truth is firm, his thought fresh, and his manner of presenting truth exceed- ingly attractive. He is a diligent student of the Word, and has learned to rely upon the Holy Spirit, to bring it home with power to the heart and consJence of his hearer. Mr. Macdonald has been greatly blessed in his work in Canada, as in other places; and my prayer is, that through his earnest and faithful presentation of the truth, many more m.ny h.- brought to a saving knowledge of Christ.

Mr. Dr^vid Macdonald, P'vangelist from Toronto, spent a week among us in special work. To many who attended, it \ias a time of much refreshment and lasting profit. I think the impression produced was universal, that Mr. Macdonald was a man of Clod, deeply in earnest, of lar>,'e consecration, and unsparing in his labors, who enjoyed much nearness to his Master, and blessing at His hand. His last day here was one long to be remembered— the Church being filled morning and evening, besides in the afternoon, the large hall in the neighborhood packed with men only, till there was scarcely standing room left. Many expressed deep regret at his departure, quite convinced that had he been able to remain, an extended work of revival and ingathering would havt; ensued. Immediately after his departure, two of our best young men came forward to intimate their desire to go to labour in the f gn field, and it is to be hoped that the correspondence resulting will issue in their desire being realized. In closing I may say that I feel sure were the other members of session at hand, they would cheerfully affix their signatures to this paper, along with my own. Walter M.

De.\r Sir : The ofiicers of the Sumach Street Presbyterian Church, Toronto, on behalf of the congregaiion wish to give expression to the feelings of gratitude and appreciation, which we experience towards you, on account of the faithful and CJodly manner in which you have labored among us for some time past ''.hree nonths), and we hope you will accept this small token of our esteem and grati- tude, not as if we were ascribing anything to human agency, as ible to do anything for the Lord, apart from Divine Grace; but as God has used you in blessing us, we wish you to accept this as an evident token of the working of God's spirit through you to our spiritual nourishment and growth in grace. And as the Apostle Paul desired to see fruit from his labors, so we feel that it is in perfect .Tcciinl with Holy Scripture, that you realize that your labor among us was not in vain in the Lord ; but bore fruit, as we take pleasure here in testifying, by presenting to )ou thisexpr jssion of our appreciation of the faithful services you have been the means of rendering to us ; and we trust that wherever the Lord may call lO you to labor in His vineyard, the richest of blessings may attend you.

We, the undersigned office bearers of l^onar Presbyterian Church, Toronto, in behalf of the members and adherents of the said congregation, take pleasure in bearing testimcjny to the devoted and successful labors rendered by Mr. David Macdonald, Evan- gelist, during the three months in which he preached the (lospel to our congregation every Sabbath, with great earnestness and ac- ceptance. We take this humble way of expressing the deep and heartfelt sense of gratitude we entertain towards him, as a feeble and inadequate, but sincere acknowledgement of the good work accom- plished in our midst, through the ble.ssing of (Jod upon his perse- vering and self-sacrificing labors, and we are profoundly grateful for the blessings thus vouchsafed. Under his pulpit ministrations there were many indications of a deep and growing interest, especially among the young. His addresses were listened to with the deepest attention ; his compre- hensive knowledge of Divine Truth, his special ability in e.xposi- tion and application of its teachings, the peculiar aptness and beauty of his illustrations, and his characteristic forceful utterance, all conspired to render his discourses very attractive and helpful,' and manyof our number assuredly find pages of our J^ible brighter,' and more precious through his teaching. The deep quiet earnest- ness that invariably characterized the audiences, may be taken as an evidence that there was much of the presence of God in all the meetings; and we rejoice that a number saw their way to make a public profession of th.,.r faith in Christ, and have become activ'e members of the Church, while many believers testified to the spiritual refreshment they enjoyed under the powerfu. preaching of the Kvangelist.

II OPI.MIONS OF THE PRESS Mr. David Macdcjnald. the Evangelist of Toronto, has just concluded a week of Evangelistic work in theQueen Street Baptist church. He has laboured faithfully and well, and we have no doubt his work will bear good fruit. He is a forcible and graphic speaker, and handles his subjects with good judgment and telling effect. Unlike some other evangelists, Mr. Macdonald is not a money grabber. He is a man of substance himself, and conducts a large and successful business in Toronto. Three jeprs ago he became converted, and since then has devoted himself to the study of the Bible, and to evangelistic work, purely for the love of it. For the past nine months he has been speaking in different places. In Chicafto he talked to large audiences, and during the coming season he intends to visit P2ngland and Scotland. He is intensely in earnest in his work, and with the enlarged experience he will gain by travel and study in Biblical teaching, become a most valuable and instructive worker in the cause of the Master.

He has been the means in God's hands of upbuilding the church in this place. A unanimous vote of thanks was given to him at the close of the meeting, coupled with a recjuest that he would visit these parts as often as he could in the future. We understand it is the intention of Mr. Macdonald to visit the old countrv as an Evangelist at an early date, and we have no doubt as to his success, because it is not for the dollars he his preaching, as is the case 12 u itii toij many of the so-called evangelists (jf the present day.

Newton Hill, Methodist Minister, Markham ; Rev. Wm. Patterson, Cooke's Church, Toron- to, and other leaders in Christian work in various parts of Canada, where he has labored.

Mr. David Macdonald, "The Toronto Evangelist," Saturday evening addressed the young men's meeting in the Y. M. C. A. parlor, where a large audience listened to his very earnest remarks. He is a very forcible speaker, and will doubtless be a power for good during his stay in this city. "London Free Press." January 24th. 1891. Mr. David Macdonald, of Toronto, occupied the pulpit of St. James' Church yesterday morning, thus relieving the pastor. Rev. M. P. Tailing, who is suffering from a severe cold. From the words, " He is risen," Mark xvi., 8, Mr. Macdonald delivered a fore lie narrative of the events leading up to and following after the resurrection of the world's Saviour. The speaker commenced his sketch with the birth of the child Christ, and followed him minutely from the time of his boyhood until his crucifixion, his resurrection and ascension into heaven. He depicted in a striking manner the anxiety, the hopes and the fears of the disciples, and the ''\ultant spirits of the enemies of Christianity, which were dis- p]av< d while the Saviour was still under the power of death. He clai'^ied as a proof of the scriptural narrative's truth the fact that the disciples f rgot their Master's promise to rise again, but that his enemies, who had everything to fear from his rising, were fully alive to the necessity of having the mouth of the. s( pulchre guarded. The many coincidences that marked the life of Christ with the , kuo'vn works of the Father Ciod were brought out clearly, as was also the triumphant resurrec words: " Oh, grave where sting?" tion of Christ, which gave rise to the thy victory; oh, death where is thy If) seniles in th!!' r' ''^ ''^"'"""' "^'""^" ^'"^ ^-•'- "^ «I-'^'' str ices m the K,ng Street Presbyterinn Clnnch l,v a st irin.

" London Advkktisick." January 28th, iSyi, Judging from the increased attendance at Hvangelist Macdon- ald's meetings last nif,dit in the Kinj,' Street Presbyterian Church, the interest is steadily i,'rowing. From the words, " Hut one thing is needful, and ALary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her" (Luke x., 42.) Mr. Macdonald delivered an impressive address, many of the audience being in tears when he closed. The J^ible readings in the afternoons, also conducted by Mr. Macdonald, are being largely attended. Kvan.<,'elist Macdonald addressed the young men's meeting in Victoria Hall Saturday evening, and made a splendid impression. " LONUON AUVERTISF.K." January 29th, iS(;i.
