Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Congregations of the United Presbyterian Church, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1733 to 1900 The second volume, though too long deferred, is less complete than I could have wished. First, it was intended that a list of all the Moderators in the various Synods from 1745 to 1900 should appear in the Appendix, but up to 1820, owing to the smallness of the three Synods, the occupancy of the Chair went for little, and since 1847 the names have been given in faithful array in the Clerical Almanac, so that it was thought this addition might be fitly dispensed with. Hence some who attained to this dignity among us have the fact passed over, though with most of them it is incidentally mentioned. Second, I would have much inclined to annotate and correct the list of students given at the close of Dr MKelvie sAnnals, especially that part which includes the Antiburgher section. Though both Dr MKelvie and Dr George Brown profess to give the names of the students who entered the Antiburgher Hall each session, they can have had no authentic documents to draw from, and must have ever and again made entries and determined dates by conjecture. We have means for supplementing their defects, but, unfortunately, time is wanting, and also ability to prosecute the needed inquiries. The reception which the first volume has met with is more encouraging than I had ventured to hope for. Interest, of course, has been confined very much to the United Free Church and, as was to be expected, to the United Presbyterian section thereof. After two rivers have peacefully coalesced they may show for a time by the colour of their waters that they had flowed in separate channels. The bitterest complaint I have met with has been the reverse of what was looked for. I have been blamed for concealment of facts one example being that I wound up a ministers course by simply stating that he was loosed from his charge; whereas I ought to have told that the root evil was drink. There are cases in which more may be read between the lines than is expressed, and balancing between the feelings of relatives and the claims of truth is like attempting to split the apple under the terror of wounding the child. Looking back over the completed work I see many omissions which cannot now be supplied, e.g. books ignored, owing to the authors limited reading, or because they did not come within the current of his narrative. Minor inaccuracies are certain to be discovered. It is as when a wayfaring man, having passed through a locality, describes it to a general audience, among whom one or two are natives of the place and familiar with its every nook and crevice, (ireat are my obligations to Mr William Crawford for the invaluable service he has done me in my disabled condition. But for him and members of my own family the present volume must have been either held back indefinitely or given to the press in an unrevised and unfinished state. Thanks are also due to those brethren who have favoured me with communications of which readers will get the benefit in the list of corrections and additions.

Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...to have been a man on whom threats and blandishments were alike thrown away, and on 3rd September 1772 he was suspended for contumacy and, we may add, general unruliness. Three years after this a petition came up from lnverkeithing to the Synod craving a conference, or the appointment of a committee, that they might get at the difference between Mr Forrest and his brethren. But his troubled course was now wearing to an end, and he died, 25th January 1776, in the fifty-third year of his age and twenty-first of his ministry. In his Memoirs he makes much of alleged defections on the Synod's part from their avowed principles, and maintains among other things equally perverse that they did not make the Word of God the only rule of faith and manners, because when he was being dealt with they appointed three of their number to seats in the Presbytery, thereby making it "a hotch-potch court." He also condemns them for maintaining against the Reformed Presbytery that infidelity doth not make void the magistrate's legal authority nor free the people from obedience to him. In keeping with these views he told some of his people on his death-bed to join the Testimony among the hands of these honest men, and was visited by two of their number, Messrs Thorburn and M'Millan, Jun., who came to converse with him. The consequence was that a party 1n the congregation joined the Reformed Presbytery, and even had a minister--Mr Walter Grieve--ordained over them in 1779 on a stipend of, 35, but he seems by-and-by to have made Dunfermline his headquarters. We read also in 1794: "They have no proper meeting-house, and are occasionally supplied with sermon, though but seldom, by their itinerant preachers." The bulk of the congregation, ...
