Horatius Bonar spent the years from November 1837 to early 1866 as the minister of a church in Kelso, Scotland, located in the area known as The Borders. The town is situated at the place where the Teviot River joins the Tweed. Bonar's ministry there began in a time of spiritual awakening, an awakening that led, ultimately, to the decision by about 450 ministers to leave the Church of Scotland, as they did in 1843. Under the leadership of Thomas Chalmers, they formed the Free Church of Scotland, and the congregation in Kelso affiliated with that new denomination. As a result of the Disruption of 1843, Horatius Bonar felt at liberty to preach more widely in that area than he had before. The result was that there were many other people converted to Christ. He began a ministry of writing and even branched out into writing the poems that became hymn texts. Such was the character of his ministry in Kelso that when he was led to another charge, the people spoke of the fruitfulness of his labors among them.
