		HEBRIDES which although just the size of a "man's hand," is not only one of the most stirring events of our day, but under the blessing of God is challenging men and women everywhere to "stand in the gap" for revival in our day.
		In spite of the scattered nature of the country and difficulty of transport, the rugged and unemotional nature of the people and limited population, the fact that hundreds have turned to Christ in life-changing conversion, accompanied by such God-given scenes, inspires us with new FAITH for a far greater awakening in our own land.

		In 563 Columba left Ireland with 12 companion monks --which was to become the custom of all Columban missionaries from then on --and sailed across the waters to Iona in a reed-woven currach (Iona, a part of Scotland's Hebrides Islands, was called Hy at the time).
		This was a tenuous claim, as the island was a Pict possession (after the conversion of the Picts, Brude, their King, formally approved the grant).
		On the windswept islands of the cold Irish Sea, life was difficult and the comforts few, though the use of waxen tablets, pens and styles and ink-horns, is mentioned in several texts; there would be no respite in the monk's usual avocation: copying.
