PRINTED BY ALEXANDER GARDNER, PAISLEY TO MY CHILDREN 'walk about zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces ; that ye may tell it to the generation following." PREFACE The following pages were written with the dual object of furnishing a Sketch of my Grandfather's life and, at the same time, supplying a brief history of the Middle Party within the Church of Scotland which he led from 1842 onwards. The volume had its genesis in a lecture eighth of a series instituted to perpetuate the memory of Dr. John Macleod, the immediate successor of Dr. Leishman in the Parish Church of St. Constantine at Govan. For such a retrospect as is here attempted the time seems opportune. Exactly a century has elapsed since Matthew Leishman knelt on the clay floor of Govan Church to receive "the laying on of the hands the " of Presbytery" \ and now that the tranquilizing mould" covers the heads of all the chief actors in the Disruption period, while distance enables us to obtain a truer perspective, testimonies accumulate as to the value of the work done by the once maligned "Forty." For assuming the task of chronicler the writer may plead the possession of original documents, eked out by personal recollections of the central figure and his intimates gained in boyhood during several winters spent under the roof of Govan Manse and two golden summers at Sunnyside.

  • John Witherspoon His Scottish Ministry
    JOHN WITHERSPOON HIS SCOTTISH MINISTRY JOHN ••' ITIIERSPOCN HIS SCOTTISH MINISTRY by William Oliver Brackett submitted to the Faculty of Divinity of the University of Edinburgh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Introduction The subject of this thesis a^earea at first to lack promise. It seemed that John v'itherspoon T s career had been thoroughly described. His place in history is fixed by the great service he rendered in America during the years that include the birth of the United States. He ^Tas president of a leading college; he was a member of the Continental Congress; he was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence; and he was moderator of the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the newly founded American republic. On closer examination,however,the subject showed great promise. The career of John '.Yitherspoon in America has overshadowed his earlier life in his native land. He was born in Scotland, and for twenty-four years he was a minister of the Scottish Church. This period should be brought to light, because it is important in itself and because it contains the elements of his later achievements. V.L.Collins,in his two volume work, President Witherspoon, leaves nothing to be desired in his exposition of ""itherspoon ! s American career; but he has not fully treated his attainments in his native land. No one has written fully on this period. It is the object of this thesis to discover and elucidate the facts of the career of John V'/it her spoon as a Scottish churchman.
