    Going Deeper into God Transforming Communities Making New Disciples leading to Spiritual and Numerical Growth Institution by the Bishop of Hertford The Rt Revd Dr Michael Beasley and Induction and Installation by the Archdeacon of Hertford The Venerable Janet Mackenzie of The Revd Harry Steele as Rector of Therfield with Kelshall on Wednesday 23 September 2020 at 7.30 pm in St Faith’s church, Kelshall Introduction Welcome to this service, which marks both a new sphere of ministry in the life of your new Rector and a new chapter in the worship and life of this parish. It is fitting therefore that we come together with the Bishop and representatives of our partner churches to offer ourselves afresh to God for the work of the Gospel. We approach God most appropriately at the beginning of worship in praise and confession. The new Rector designate is then introduced and presented to the Bishop and people. The Declaration of Assent and the Oaths to the Sovereign and Diocesan Bishop are required by law and give us assurance of the trustworthiness of his ministry. A reading from God’s word to us from the Bible is followed by a sermon, in which the same word is given relevance for this time and place. He then institutes the new Rector by praying together with him to the Holy Spirit and giving him the Cure of Souls. Following the installation of the new Rector, he is welcomed by the community and all are invited to greet one another in the exchange of the Peace.

VI A UT VIRTUTE. I VERNESS A. & W. MACKENZIE. MDCCCXCI. I INSCRIBED TO THE MEMORY OF MARY CHISHOLM OF CHISHOLM (AFTERWARDS MRS. JAMES GOODEN, LONDON), A noble-souled woman, whose warm-hearted and patriotic conduct towards her father's and, subsequently, her mother's tenants in Strathglass, under the most trying circumstances, first attracted the author's attention to her clan, and without whose inspiration this book would never have been written. PREFACE. :o:- The History of the Chisholms, as given in this volume, is not an ambitious work. The materials are not extensive, and those available are not of an important or stirring character. I claim to have disposed of the absurd and ground- less contention, so long maintained by the Northern clan, that they sprang originally from the Earls of Caithness and Orkney, and to have established, on the contrary, that they first came to the Highlands from the Scottish Borders, and that all the families of the name, north and south, can trace their descent to one common ancestor, heard of for the first time in Scotland in the county of Roxburgh towards the end of the thirteenth century.
