As God can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give them faithful, sincere, and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world is to give them over to blind, unregenerate, carnal, lukewarm and unskilful guides. And yet, in all ages, we find that there have been many wolves in sheep's clothing, many that daubed with untempered mortar, that prophesied smoother things than God did allow. As it was formerly" so it is now: there are many that corrupt the Word of God and deal deceitfully with it. It was so in a special manner in the prophet Jeremiah's time; and he, faithful to that God that employed him, did not fail, from time to time, to open his mouth against them and to bear a noble testimony to the honour of that God in whose name he from time to time spake.

CHS members might note how many ministers from south of the border spent preaching tours in Scotland at that time. As most CHS members will already know, this year marks the 350th anniversary of the Restoration settlement of the English church in 1662, and the consequent ejections of nonconformist clergy. In response, we consider the commemorations, made by English Congregationalists and others in 1962, to the tercentenary of the Great Ejectment. We also welcome Lesley Dean’s unusual article which arises from a discovery found in her late mother’s papers.

MDCCCXXXIV. Printed at the CiinaxiciE Office, Dundee, PREFACE. The following pages have been compiled by- Mr. Thomas Keith. The original intention was to give a mere list of the principal inhabi- tants in alphabetical order ; with a few subordi- nate lists and tables connected with the trade of the place. It was thought that this might be accomplished without adding materially to the size or price of former publications of the same description. A very little experience led to a contrary conviction. After the utmost pains had been bestowed in preparing the alphabetical list of names, it was suggested that the occupations and places of residence of many individuals might be inacciu-ately given ; and that it would be pro- per to leave slips at the houses of the inhabitants, inviting them to write upon them their names, occupations, and places of abode, as they wished these to appear in the Directory. By this means upwards of 1500 corrections were made on the list as it was originally prepared ; and had it not been for neglect on the part of some persons to furnish the requisite information, very few errors would have remained.

  • David Bogue and the Gosport Academy Noel Gibbard
    David Bogue and the Gosport Academy Noel Gibbard David Bogue (1750-1825),' a native of Berwickshire, moved to London in 1771, and in 1777 was ordained as a Congregational minister at Gosport, Hampshire, where he served until his death. Gosport was a port of 5,000 inhabitants, very cosmopolitan in character as the Dutch, English, Welsh, Scots and the French mingled together. For many of them it was a port of call, but a number settled down there, and Bogue must have welcomed with open arms those who came from his native country, the families of Geddes, Campbell, McLeod and McDonald.2 In 1789, after a period of twelve busy years, Bogue received the first three students to prepare for the ministry of the Word. In 1800 the academy came under the auspices of the London Missionary Society. This work of ministerial training was made possible through the kindness of George Welch,3 a wealthy London banker, with the help of two other gentlemen. Welch was concerned with the spread of the gospel and was one of the principal supporters of the 'Societas Evangelica'. In a discussion with William Jay, Welch lamented the presence of an 'unregenerate ministry' and was moved to support students under the care of three ministers in three different places, David Bogue of Gosport being one of them.4 The tutor was to be paid ten pounds a year for each student during a three year course. After Welch's death, others carried on the good work, and were anxious to enlarge the academy at Gosport.
