This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. 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, ...

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Congregations of the United Presbyterian Church, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1733 to 1900 The aim throughout has been to keep by authoritative documents and let facts speak for themselves. Condensation has been demanded at every step to the exclusion of, perhaps, half the material, and any inclination to enlarge on the merits of the dead or the gifts of the living has been checked by the summons to move on. Little, therefore, is to be looked for in the way of direct laudation. We thus steer clear of the untrustworthiness which John Foster ascribed to monumental tributes, though in these, owing to their brevity, there is seldom much to complain of. But of an inscription on a marble tablet newly put up to the memory of a worthy minister many years dead he wrote as follows The greater number of the lines and epithets were appropriate, but there was one which I knew to be totally false - false not only in the sense that it was not the truth but that a contrary expression would have been the truth. With regard to brief biographical notices of departed ministers, relatives are often unreasonably exacting, as I have had occasion to learn before now. In drawing up this history I have had facilities which were not within reach forty years ago. Since then, to use the words of the committee eu trusted with the business, 150 volumes of Synodical and Presbyterial Minutes, forming a valuable history of the denomination in its several branches, have been collected within the Church premises and made accessible. The first class referred to are almost entire, and though the second have many blanks they constitute a wonderful assortment when we consider the little care that was bestowed on their preservation. Besides, within the period mentioned carefully drawn up narratives of individual congregations have been published to an extent never known before, to say nothing of books on a larger scale, such as Mr Finlay's History of Buchan Presbytery.
