KDINBUROH .**^r '" PREFATORY NOTE With the present Volume the work of preparing a new edition of Fasti Ecclesice Scoticanoe comes to a completion. The genesis of the undertaking may be recalled. An Overture was presented to the General Assembly in the following terms : — " Whereas the publication known as Dr Hew Scott's Fasti Ecclesice ScoticanoB contains valuable information relative to the ministers of the Church from an early period ; whereas it is desirable to continue a record of the succession of ministers in the various parishes since the date of that publication ; and whereas this can be most conveniently carried out by a Committee representing the Church : It is humbly Overtured by the undersigned Members of the House to the Venerable the General Assembly to appoint a Committee to collect material for the continuance of the record up to the present date ; or to do otherwise as the Assembly may see fit." Of eight signatories it may be stated that three only survive, while of ten members who constituted the Editorial Committee of 1914, four only remain. During the earlier stages of conference as to the precise arrangement of the work, a decision was arrived at which entirely altered its original design of merely continuing Dr Hew Scott's Fasti from 1839 to the present time. That decision involved a complete revision of all Dr Scott's Volumes, and to this extended scheme the General Assembly gave cordial approval. The seven Volumes now issued, therefore, have been compiled and re-written following a careful perusal, not only of the documents (chiefly Presbytery Registers) available to Dr Scott, but also of numerous others to which he had no access, and which, indeed, were unknown to him, many of them having been discovered within recent years. In addition, the Editors have had the advantage of reading a very large number of Local, Family and General Histories published since Dr Scott's day. Full use has been made of the important Separate Registers belonging to the different Presbyteries : thus most of what is purely domestic information — in the vi PREFATORY NOTE shape of family details, etc. — has been derived from official sources. Further, much genealogical data has come from the parochial and other documents preserved in H.M. General Register House, Edinburgh, to which the officials thereof gave courteous and ready access. An extensive corresjjondence with surviving relatives and friends of ministers has also ensured completeness and correctness as far as possible, for the records here brought together. These Volumes, possible only through much arduous research, have been undertaken by the Editors as a labour of love, and the work has been published without expense to the Church. The Editors think it right to say that the publishers, Messrs Oliver & Boyd, have borne the brunt of the printing costs which have been considerable, aided by small bonuses provided by friends of the Church. Having now reached the end of their long and difficult task, the Editors rejoice to be able to place before the Church and the public a compilation of much more than ecclesiastical importance, and of which critics have declared that it is a work necessary for a true elucidation of the national spirit and of the national history. The present Volume (in which Dr Scott's original work ends at page 820) contains material assembled from many quarters and from many lands. Never before has the story of the Church of Scotland in England, Ireland, on the Continent of Europe, in the British Colonies, and in America, been told in biographical detail, and the notices of Indian Chaplains, Foreign and Jewish Missionaries are here given for the first time. The biographies of the Episcopal period, as also those pertaining to the Scottish Universities, and the carefully-collated list of Moderators, have been added in order to make this Fasti of the Church a full record of all who have served her in the ministry from the Reformation to the present year. The Volume now issued has been brought up to date. Many helpers have assisted in tlie prejDaration of this Volume. Of these the Committee record their thanks to the following : — The various Clerks of Presbyteries; Rev. Angus Macdonald, minister of Killearnan ; Rev. Donald Beaton, minister of Free Presbyterian Church, Wick ; Rev. Donald Mackiunon, minister of Free Church, Portree; Rev. Professor J. H.

Conforming to Protestantism at the Reformation he was adm. to this charge soon after 1560. On 26th June 1563, he was app. by the General Assembly a commissioner to plant kirks within the bounds of Ross, and to assist Robert, Bishop of Caithness. On 27th Dec. following, complaint was made in the As.sembly that he "was not so apt to teach as his charge required." A committee of Assembly was app. to "try his gifts" and to report. On 5th July 1570, it was again objected that he was "not prompt in the Scottish (Gaelic) tongue." Notwithstanding this, his appoint- ment was renewed in Aug. 1573. About 1574 Lemlair was added to his charge. Tradition says that having his residence at Castle Craig on the opposite side of the Firth, he crossed by boat for his duties at both churches.

He retired to the farmhouse of Knockoudie in Auldearn, where he continued to preach and dispense the sacraments, and memorable communions were observed in a sheltered hollow of the Hills of the Arstill, known as " Hog's Strype." In 1668 a complaint Avas made to the Privy Council by Murdoch, Bishop of Moray, whereupon H. was imprisoned in Forres, but after some months was liberated unconditionally through the intervention of the Earl of Tweeddale. Orders were again given for his imprison- ment in June 1674, and Letters of Inter- communing were issued against him on 6th Aug. 1675, forbidding all persons to harbour or assist him in any way. In Jan. 1677 he voluntarily surrendered to the Earl of Moray, was removed to Edin- burgh Tolbooth and sent to the Bass Rock, where he became seriously ill. An Edinburgh physician who was called to see him, petitioned the Council for his 42 KILTEARN AND LEMLAIR [PRESB. OF release, to which some of the members were disposed, but Archbishop Sharp stated " the prisoner did and was in a capacity to do more hurt to their interests sitting in his elbow chair than twenty others could, and if the justice of God was pursuing him to take him off the stage, the clemency of the Government should not interpose to hinder it." He was accordingly confined more closely than before. On hearing his sentence he exclaimed in bed, "It was as severe as if Satan himself had penned it." On 9th Oct. that year he was brought back to the Tolbooth, but was again returned to the Bass until set at liberty with others in July 1679, giving bond for 10,000 merks to appear before the Council when called. He remained unmolested till 8th Nov. 1683 when he was fined £277 and committed prisoner at Edinburgh till the fine was paid. Having decided to quit the country he petitioned to that effect and was enjoined to depart within forty-eight hours. He lived for a year in Berwick-upon-Tweed and in 1685 found his way to London, intending to sail to Carolina, but he was apprehended on suspicion of beiiigcoucerned in the Rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth. On being freed he fled to Holland, where he became chaplain to William, Prince of Orange. He returned to Scotland early in 1688, and being restored by Act of Parliament, 25th April 1690, was a member of Assembly that year.

FEARN, OR SGIR NA MANACHAINN (" The Parish of the Monastery ") [The parish of Fearn was disjoined from that of Tarbat in or about 1628, but the erection of the new parish was not carried through until 1640. Within the bounds assigned to it stood the disused Premonstratensian Abbey of St Ninian at Fearn, and the Abbey Church was restored for the use of the parish. The monastery of Fearn had been first founded in 1227 by Farquhar, first Earl of Ross, at Fearn in Edderton. Patrick Hamilton, Abbot of Fearn, who was burned as a heretic at St Andrews on 28th Feb. 1527, was Superior of this monastery. He was not, however, a monk, but held the Abbey in commendam. On 10th October 1742, during service, the church was struck by lightning, the roof of the ancient Abbey gave way and fell in upon the worshippers. Forty- two were killed and many were badly injured. James Robertson, min. of Loch- broom, the preacher that day, placed his shoulder under the lintel of one of the doors which was giving way, and so helped to prevent its fall till the greater number of the people escaped. He was known there- after as An ministear ladair — " the strong minister." The fine fabric was much damaged. It has been but partially re- stored. There is a Well of Our Lady at Fearn.] 56 FEARN .

[These two parishes were united before the end of the sixteenth century. Tain. — The church of Tain, which has been well restored, and is kept with worthy care, was dedicated to St Duthac. In it the Saint's relics were kept, and thither many pilgrims came to see them. Hence comes the Gaelic name of the place, Baile Dhudich (Duthac's town). A collegiate foundation was given to this parish, on 12th September 1487, by Thomas, Bishop of Ross. In the Cathedral Chapter at Fortrose there was a prebend of Tain, held by the sub-chantor of the Cathedral. Tain was a highly privileged sanctuary, and to it many refugees fled. Thus, when an English army laid siege to Kildrummy Castle, Queen Isobel, the wife of Robert I., eluded the English forces, and came, with her young daughter Marjorie, to Tain. The sacred place, however, failed to save them. They were taken from the sanctuary by William, Earl of Ross, and were sent prisoners to England. Many visitors also were drawn to Tain by the fame of St Duthac's relics. To see them, James IV. made repeated pilgrimages. His last visit was in 1513, when he was about to set forth on his fatal invasion of England. In 1527 James V. too came as a pilgrim to Tain, At Tarlogie, in this parish, there was a chapel of St Talorgan. Fairs were held at Tain at Midsummer, Lammas, and Michaelmas, as well as on the feasts of St Duthac, St Berchan, and St Cormac. Near the church was a Well of Our Lady. Morinnis.— In the Chapter of Fortrose Cathedral there was a prebend of Morinnis.] NICOLAS ROSS.provost of the collegiate church, who voted in Parliament for the abolition of Popery and the adoption of the Protestant confession, was probably the first Protestant min. of the parish ; died 11th Sept. 1569. He purchased the estate of Geanies from Balnagowan for his three sons, for whom he obtained letters of legitimation.— [Taylor's Tain, 80.] THOMAS FERGUSON, reader from 1568 1568 to 1574.

As sub-dean of Ross he was one of nineteen ministers who constituted a General Assembly at Aberdeen in 1605, contrary to the King's wish, and was on a leet of three for the Moderatorship. When summoned before the Privy Council he (with six others) maintained that the said Assembly was a "very lawful" one. He was accordingly sentenced to banish- ment and was imprisoned within Doune Castle, Perthshire, his ultimate destination being a remote part of Kintyre. From Doune he escaped with the connivance of the constable of the Castle, and finding his way back to his parish resumed his ministry, his stipend, paid through the Crown authorities, being withheld. A Privy Council letter, 24th May 1610, ordered the magistrates to "keep him prisoner in some chalmer of your toune quhil he purge himself of his rebellion." What followed does not appear, no burgh records of the period being extant. He died shortly after 1st June 1630. He marr.

SYNOD OF SUTHERLAND AND CAITHNESS This Court was not fully organised till towards the middle of the seventeenth century. On 15th June 1646 the General Assembly annexed the Presbytery of Orkney and Shetland to this Synod. In 1725 the parishes of Orkney were incorporated as a separate Synod. Those of Shetland had been severed from Sutherland and Caithness in 1715. After that date they were several times transferred from one jurisdiction to another. It was only in 1830 that the Synod of Shetland was erected. The Eegister of the Synod of Sutherland and Caithness begins at 6th August 1656. This Court now holds its meetings at Wick.

From 1690 to 1726 the Presbytery of Dornoch was under the jurisdiction of the Synod of Ross. On 11th May 1726 this Presbytery was again assigned to the Synod of Sutherland and Caithness.

[The ancient parish church of Dornoch was dedicated to St Finn Barr. In Dornoch stood also St Gilbert's, the Cathedral church of Caithness. In the later years of the sixteenth century St Gilbert's was made the church of the parish. It took its name from St Gilbert, Bishop of Caith- ness, its founder. He was buried in the Cathedral in 1245. There was within it a chapel of St James. St Gilbert's Cathedral was burned down in 1570. In 1605 it was greatly ruined by a very violent storm. In 1835 the restoration of the venerable building was begun by Elizabeth, Duchess of Sutherland, and the work went on for a number of years. In 1924 on the occasion of the Septcentenary of the founding of Dornoch Cathedral, a mural tablet was erected in memory of St Gilbert. A convent of the Red Friars was founded at Dornoch in 1271.

KILDONAN (HELMSDALE). [The church of Kildonan was dedicated to St Donan. In the Cathedral of Dornoch there was a prebend of Kildonan. When the Presb. of Tongue was erected, on 11th May 1726, the parish of Kildonan was taken from the jurisdiction of Dornoch, and assigned to that of Tongue. On 18th May 1727, the General Assembly again annexed Kildonan to the Presb. of Dor- noch. There were two chapels within the bounds, St Peter's at Kilpheadair, and St Mary's at Kilmuir. A fair of St Donan was held at Kildonan. There was in the parish a Well of St John the Baptist. There are two mission chapels in this parish, that of St Donan at the Kirkton of Kildonan in Strathuilie, and the other at Kinbrace. At the time of the Sutherland Clearances many Kildonan people emigrated to the Selkirk colony at Manitoba, where they named their settlement Kildonan, and erected a church, a replica of that in which they had worshipped at home.

PRESBYTERY OF CAITHNESS [A local Cliurcli Court for the district of Caithness was erected at some time between 1581 and 1593. On 12th Jan. 1697, for the reorganising of the government of the Church in the North, the General Assembly remitted to its Commission to set up a Presbytery of Caithness so soon as a competent body of ministers should be settled in the parishes there. As a temporary arrangement, the Court thus formed was attached to the Synod of Orkney. On 15th May 1725 this Presbytery of Caithness was severed from Orkney, and placed under the jurisdiction of the Synod of Ross. This change, however, lasted for a year only. On 11th May 1726 Caithness was taken from the Synod of Ross, and was annexed, as of old, to that of Sutherland. The Register of the Presbytery of Caithness begins at 6th April 1709. There is a gap in its Record from 17th Aug. 1773 to 8th Jan. 1799. Written evidence shows that there was an earlier volume of Minutes reaching from 5th Oct. 1654 to 7th Oct. 1668, but of its existence nothing more is known.] BERRIEDALE (Q.S.).

At his admission here the parish was in a state of semi-barbarism. Donald Sage says, "they were not only ignorant, but flagrantly vicious — Episco- palians in name but heathens in reality. P. soon discovered that they required a very rough mode of treatment, and being from his strength furnished with a sufficient capacity to administer any needful chastise- ment, he failed not vigorously to exercise it. He usually carried about with him a short thick cudgel, which, from the use he was compelled to make of it, as well as from a sort of delegated constabulary authority he had from Sinclair of Ulbster, the sheriff of the county, was known as ' the bailie.' " Sage relates several incidents in which " the bailie " figured prominently. In course of time the habits of the people changed for the better, the parish gradually conforming to the arts of civilised life. A man of considerable literary talent and much intellectual vigour, P. was a popular preacher and a learned archaeologist. He marr.

[This transla- tion of Torfseus's Orcades seu rerum Orcadensium Histories [Havnise, 1697 and 1715] was prepared by Pope for the press in 1780, but owing to his death its publication was delayed. After a lapse of sixty years the MS. was printed in instalments in the John 0' Groat Journal. When it was nearly completed, the transcriber died.

Like other churches of its time, it is cruciform, and is a quaintly interesting example of the curiously mixed architecture then in vogue. There was in this parish a chapel of the Holy Rood, known as the Cross Kirk. Other chapels stood at Pennyland, Brims, and Murkle. There was another chapel. Kirk Ebb, which stood on the sea-shore, but all vestiges of it have been swept away by the sea. There was also a chapel between Stainland and Bleachfield .

A call in his favour by several heritors was given in to the Presb. Nov. 1710. His translation to Gairloch was agreed to by the Presb. of Inverness early in Feb. of the following year. The united Presb. of Dingwall and Chanonry, in whose bounds Gairloch was then situated, appointed Thomas Chisholm, Kilmorack, to serve the edict, but access to the church of Gairloch was denied him. He reported to the Presb. that after he had come near the church he was seized upon by a party of men and carried back six miles to Kinlochewe, where he was detained a prisoner. He, however, contrived to read the edict before six or seven persons in a house there, Kinlochewe J being one of the preaching places of the ■ parish. The admission of M. took place at Kiltearn 1st March 1711, largely no doubt from fear of facing the Gairloch , rabble, but ostensibly on account of the great distance from the parish and the inclemency of the weather. At a meeting of the Presb. on 4th April, M. reported that he could find no access to his parish. He was then sent to supply vacancies in the bounds of Sutherland. A complaint was made to the General Assembly, and the Lord Advocate was recommended to raise criminal letters against Sir John Mac- kenzie of Coull and his tenants in Gairloch in order to jirosecute them for the " mal- treatment given by them to John Morrison and Thomas Chisholm in their bounds." Mackenzie's brother Colin now gave lochcaeron] GAIRLOCH 147 an undertaking that Sir John Mackenzie would "give all countenance in planting vacancies in the bounds wherein he is concerned," but when a deputation from the Presb. waited on him and chased him from house to house, he insolently threw down the document they handed to him and left them, saying he would have nothing to do with the Presb. of Dingwall. M. now reported that, " after two days' sojourn in going to preach, he was interrupted at Kinlochewe by the tenants of Sir John Mackenzie of Coull, who laid violent hands on him and his servant, rent his clothes, made prisoners of them, and kept them three days under guard in a cottage full of cattle and dung, without meat or bedding the first two days, the tenants relieving one another in turn by a fresh supply every day. When the fifth day came, he was carried to Sir John's house, who declared "no Presbyterian should be settled in any place where his influence extended, unless Her Majesty's forces did it by the strong hand." On 23rd Oct. 1711 he gave to the Presb. a representation of his grievances, requesting an act of transportation, and stated, 12th Nov., " that having no glebe, manse, or legal maintenance, he was obliged to take a tack of land, and that for three or four years successively his crops were destroyed by cattle ; that, in the time of the Rebellion, the best of his cattle were taken away by the rebels, and very lately his house plundered of all provisions to the value of 400 merks." His request was granted, and he was trans, to Urray 14th Nov. 1716.— [^ces of Ass., 1711 ; Wodrow's Corresp., i., 216.] JAMES SMITH, called by the Presb. 1721 ■^^^'^ devoluto 25th April and ord.

He was known as "^;/i ^linisteir L()idii\'' or the " Strong Minister," on account of his many feats of physical strength, particuh\rly the incident in connection with the collapse of the roof of Fearn church, mentioned under that parish. ]\Iany of his parishioners, dis- regarding his remonstrances, were involved in the Eising of 1745. After Culloden he waited on the Duke of Cumberland at Inverness, and Avas thanked for his services to the Earl of Loudoun in his difficult march to the Highlands. Cumberland made him a present of twelve stand of arms, to be put into such hands as he might think proper to entrust them with, and a regular correspondence followed between E. and the Duke. These letters, uniformly signed "Everard Faulkener," were carefully pre- served, but disappeared after E.'s death. In 1746 he greatly exerted himself in the interest of the captive prisoners at London, travelling thither at his own expense, and interceding with the Government. On one occasion he pleaded with the Duke of Newcastle for the life of Hector Mackenzie who had been condemned to death. The Duke, either stimulated by a sincere desire to save the man's life, or to get rid of E.'s importunity, held out his hand as a token of assurance of mercy, whereupon, in his ecstasy of joy, the minister gave it so powerful a grip that, in evident pain, his Grace cried out, " Yes ! yes ! for God's sake let go my hand ; you shall have him, you shall have him ! "—a promise faithfully kept. On returning to his parish he was received with demonstrations of gratitude.

Accom- panied by others he carried a picture of the Duke of Brunswick fixed behind the muzzle and rammer of his gun, which was then committed to the flames. For this he had to appear before the College authorities, was fined 50 merks and expelled.

At the time of his settlement the parishioners were in a very barbarous state. An attempt was made on his life by firing the barn in which he slept on the evening before his ordination. He caught the incendiary, but instead of handing him over to punishment he set meat and drink before him, saying, "Go and tell your neighbours how the Whig ministers avenge their wrongs." He was frequently ofi"ered personal violence in the performance of his duties and found it necessary to carry arms in self-defence. Being a man of gigantic size and great strength, he held more than his own in his encounters with his unruly parishioners. Persevering in his duty, his resolution and firmness in the enforcement of Church Discipline, he struck the vicious with terror, while his prudence in composing differences, his benevolence and hospitality gradually conciliated and gained the goodwill of his people. Having accused a co-presbyter of heterodox opinions, he was enjoined by the General Assembly, 29th May 1759, "not to be over-ready to fish out heresies without very good and justifiable reasons."

He was one of the most widely followed preachers in the North.

He was nick-named " Potato John " from a thoughtless and foolish trick. When going to College with several others and halting for refreshment by the way, one of them offered up a long and tedious blessing which so tired the others that M. is said to have whispered to Duncan M'Gillivray [afterwards min. of Lairg] to put a hot potato into the hand of the student who was praying. This he did and the grace came to a speedy close. When M. applied for licence to the Presb. of Tain some of the members opposed his application and brought the case before the General Assemblies of 1802 and 1803. The Assembly found the proceedings "irregular and injurious to him," and instructed the Presb., 24th May 1803, to license him at next meeting, and to enjoin the attendance of the four dissentient ministers who were to remain till the proceedings were over.

Thomas Pennant, who had a previous correspond- ence with him, visited him during his tour in Skye in 1772, and to the English traveller he gave much of the valuable information used by him in his Tour in Scotland (1772). In 1773 when Dr Johnson and Boswell made their tour of the island they were accompanied by M. Boswell writing from Armadale says, "Being informed that the Rev. Mr D. M. was the most intelligent man in Skye, and having been favoured with a letter of introduction to him by //-cyyuB. Jtr. 172 KILMUIR-IN-TROTTERNISH [PRESB. OF the learned Sir James Foulis, I sent it to him by expi-ess and requested him to meet us at Raasay." The minister informed Boswell that he had " Macgillechalum's carriage, made in Norway, ready to bring the party tliither." He afterwards joined heartily in the chorus of a Gaelic song, raised by the rowers, composed on the Rising of the '15. Johnson had the highest opinion of his ability. " This is a critical man, Sir," he said, "there must be great vigour of mind to make him cultivate learning so much in the Isle of Skye where he might do without it." He held his own in the discussion with Johnson over the Ossianic controversy. M. supported the Evangelical party in the Church and is mentioned with honour by Dr John Erskine in his Sketches of Church History. He was employed by the General Assembly in translating the Pentateuch into Gaelic. In connection with this work he wrote learned and interesting papers on the customs of primitive nations. He was admitted a Corresponding Member of the Society of Antiquaries on 13th Feb. 1781, and contributed to the Transactions of that Society.

The ordinary meetings of the Presbytery of Uist are held at Lochmaddy.] BARRA.

BENBECULA {Q.S.). [The ancient parish of Benbecula was united to South Uist, Kilpheatair, and Barra in or before the sixteenth century. The church of Benbecula, known as Teampull Chaluimchille, was dedicated to St Columba. Its remains were almost entire fifty years ago and stood on an islet at Balvanich called Loch-na-cille. It is said to have been built and endowed by Aniie MacRuari, proprietrix of North and South Uist, and wife of the Good John of Isla, Lord of the Isles, in the middle of the fourteenth century. It is of a very early type, built of undressed stones. Its total length of fifty-six feet includes a chancel added to the older nave, but not bonded into its walls. The very low doorway of the church has a flat lintel, and the jambs slant towards one another, growing closer as they go up. A similar uist] Ki -X7 M Ci ,1' c 5 o i^ BENBECULA 187 §> doorway forms the entrance 'to the chancel. On Benbecula are the remains of a nunnery of Benedictmes or Black Nuns at Nunton.

Harris.— The church of this parish was dedicated to St Bride, and of old was known as Kilbride. At Rodel there was an Augustinian Priory, dependent on the Abbey of Holyrood. Of its buildings no trace now remains. Its church, dedicated to St Clement, still remains entire, with a scjuare tower sixty feet high, known locally as Tin- Mor Chliamain, of much older date than the church itself. It was restored in the end of last century by the late Earl of Dunmore, and divine service is held in it occasionally.

[When Donald Monro, Dean of the Isles, visited North Uist prior to 1549 the island was divided into two parishes, that known locally as Kilmorie and the district of Sand where there was of old a Columban Establishment. At the Reformation the parish of Sand was united to Kilmorie. It is now included in the parish of Trumis- garry. The church, in which worship continued to be held, was dedicated to St Columba. The church of Kilmorie was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. At Carinish, in the south of this parish, stand the ruins of an ancient Chapel of the Holy Trinity still bearing the name of Teampull na Trianaid. It is nearly sixty-five feet in length, and the traces of other buildings set about it point plainly to its importance in times past. Teampull na Trianaid was founded, according to MacVurich, the historian of Clanranald, by Beathag, daugh. of Somerled, Lord of the Isles, first Prioress of lona. There were also within the bounds chapels of St Martin at Baile Mhartain, St Olaf at Kilaulay, St Ultan on the island of Vallay, St Clement's at Hosta, St Peter's at Balelone, and Teampull Chriosd at Balishare. There are mission chapels in North Uist at Balishare and Carinish. Of the ministers, if any, who served in this parish during the latter half of the sixteenth century there is no trace.] DONALD MACMILLAN.

[The island of Hirt lies fully sixty miles west of any part of the coast of Harris. Its parish church, which exists no longer, was dedicated to Christ, and was known as Cill Chriosd of Hirta. A writer, who visited this island in the middle of the eighteenth century, tells us that the church was " twenty-four feet long, built of stone without any cement, and covered with thatch." In Hirt there were of old chapels of St Columba and St Breandan. In 1710 a mission chapel was built on the island. It was formerly a part of the parish of Harris. It belonged to the parish of North Uist, and was one of the charges originally constituting the Presb. of Long Island erected in 1724. The island was visited in 1697 by John Campbell, min. of Harris, accompanied by Martin Martin ^lt^'^*=C::,2^f^,r\). t'^fc-^^ l^c uist] ST KILDA 193 who, in 1698, published A Late Voyage to St Kilda. A catechist was proposed to be sent there by the General Assembly, March 1703 and March 1704, supported by private contribution. In 1733 Alexander Macleod, advocate, lodged in the hands of the S.P.C.K. £333, 6s. 8d., the annual interest of which was to be employed in support of the minister, catechist, or missionary. The directors of the Society in 1739 increased the yearly sum to £25, the patronage to be vested in Macleod of Harris and his heirs male. In consideration of the Society doubling the yearly payment, John Norman Macleod of Macleod relinquished his right of patronage to the Society in 1821, they " having still a special regard to persons of the name of Macleod in terms of the original mortification." In 1843 the congregation joined the Free Church, and the succession of missionaries labouring there have been supported by that Church, and by the United Free Church since 1900.

In the following year the Assembly allowed him 400 merks out of the public money, and a letter was ordered to be written to Macleod of Macleod to give him due encouragement. The Presb. of Edinburgh, 24th March 1708, recommended " that a contribution be made for his encouragement in propagating the know- ledge of Christ and rooting out the pagan and popish superstitious customs so much yet in use among that people"; ord. by that Presb. 15th March 1710; died of a fever in the beginning of 1730, having VOL. VII. established a kirk-session and on several occasions dispensed the communion. He had a reputation for deep piety, and being a strict disciplinarian and Sabbatarian. In a letter of 11th June 1711 he describes the state of the people, and complains bitterly of the oppression of the ground officer who was reckoned a rich man in St Kilda, but according to the minister " a godless man anywhere." He had his revenge in fining the officer's wife two merks, and causing her "stand in sack-cloth for inducing two women to sell a dog on the Lord's Day." " When any one breaks the Sabbath," he relates, "I cause them stand in sack-cloth dipped in the filthiest gutter in the toun." He marr.

[South Uist included of old the parishes of Kilpheder, Howmore, and Benbecula. Kilpheder embraced the district known in old charters as Kendess and extended northwards to Locheynort. Its church was dedicated to St Peter. Within the bounds were at least two chapels, St Bride's on Loch Boisdale, and St Donan's at Cill Donain. There are mission chapels at Loch Boisdale and lochdar. Iloivniore extended northwards from Locheynort to lochdar and the South Ford. It appears as Skirhough in old records. In the old burial ground are the remains of two churches, Teampull Dhiar- maid dedicated to St Columba, and Team- pull Mhuire dedicated to St Mary. There were also chapels of St Kenneth at Kil- choinnich, St Michael near Aird Mhicheil, and others at Kilvandin, Kilaulay, Kilbride, and Kildonan. Benbecula was disjoined from South Uist on 31st May 1895. The present parish church was built in 1854. Previous to that date there had been none for many years, the population being largely Roman Catholics.

They prayed the Assembly to settle Neil Macleod among them who had already laboured as Royal Bounty missionary for six years within the bounds. The Presb. found him unqualified although they had annually certified his qualifications as a missionary. Further, they evaded Macleod's presentation by a measure most people would have considered not very correct by holding their meeting at a different time and place from usual, so that the presentee was not able to find them.

[Parish vacant since 1914.] PRESBYTERY OF LEWIS, of old THE LONG ISLAND At sundry times during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries we find the Ecclesiastical Courts striving after some reform in the disordered religious life of the Outer Hebrides. For long these efforts were attended with little success. It was not until the eighteenth century that efficient Church government could be set up in these islands. For the better ordering of the civil administration, King James VI. granted a Charter to a company of adventurers, hailing mostly from Fife, giving them power to found a settlement in Lewis by force of arms, after the fashion of the Spanish Colonies beyond the seas. These " Undertakers," as they were called, set forth on their expedition in Oct. 1598, and Robert Durie, minister of Anstruther, was commissioned to go with them as a religious teacher. This first attempt of theirs to seize the island proved a signal failure. Many of the invaders lost their lives, and Durie, sharing their defeat, escaped alive with difficulty, and returned to Fife. When the same company again took in hand an invasion of Lewis, the minister of Anstruther was once more found willing to join it. A petition was therefore laid before the Presbytery of St Andrews craving that he be again set free to go to that island " to plant ane kirk." To this that Court agreed on 2nd April 1601. In December of the same year the Lewismen routed the Undertakers with great slaughter, and their minister was glad to get safely back to his own parish of Anstruther. In 1610 Farquhar Macrae, minister of Gairloch, was sent on a special mission to Lewis. From his report we learn that he found the people there very ignorant and "strangers to the Gospel." Few of them, he tells us, who were over forty years of age , had even been baptised. - ' ' ' • ;.. On 19th May 1724 the General Assembly severed from the Presbytery of Skye the whole district of the Outer Islands reaching from the Butt of Lewis on the north to Barra Head on the south. Of this insular region a new jurisdiction was then formed, called the Presbytery of The Long Island, or of Innis Fada. On 8th May 1742, Harris and the islands lying to the south of it were disjoined from Lewis and erected as the Presbytery of Uist. The remaining territory to the north has since then been known as the Presbytery of Lewis. The Register of this Presbytery begins in July 1742. There are gaps in the Record from 16th March 1766 to 15th July 1767, from 22nd Nov. 1768 to 18th Aug. 1772, and from 14th March to 27th Nov. 1804.

[The ancient parish of Ness was united to Barvas in the sixteenth century, or probably as early as the fifteenth. Its old church was dedicated to St Peter. It seems to have been a building of some dignity, and its ruined fabric is well over sixty feet in length. The modern church is on another site, near the remains of an old chapel of the Holy Eood, whence is derived the name of Cross now given to the parish. A parliamentary church for the district of Ness was built in 1828. The parish of Cross was again disjoined from Barvas on 27th May 1857. In various parts of this parish there were chapels in times gone by. Two of these stood at Eorabie, near the north end of Lewis. One of them was dedicated to St Malrubh and the other to St Eonan. Near the latter was St Eonan's Well. In the same part of the island were St Peter's Chapel at Suainabost, St Thomas's at Habost, and St Clement's at Dail. On the eastern shore of this parish, at Dun Othail, about ten miles from the Butt of Lewis, are the ruins of a chapel seventeen feet long, built in a very primitive style, of dry stone, without any kind of mortar. Of the same early type, but even ruder in form, are the dry built hermitages that still stand on lonely rocks lying off the coasts of this part of The Long Island. Such a place of solitary devotion is to be seen on the bare isle of North Rona, sixty miles beyond the furthest point of Northern Lewis, and forty miles west of Cape Wrath. The chapel of St Eonan there is perched upon the rock that rises up from the sea to a height of 350 feet. It is entered by a low doorway with a flat lintel, and, to get in, one must creep on all -fours. Thus the nave is entered, and, by another similar low open- ing, the tiny chancel is reached. In the small burial-ground around this hermitage chapel are several, quite plain, standing crosses, the highest of which rises only about two feet and a half above the ground. On the solitary rock of Sula Sgeir, ten miles west of North Eona, stands another hermitage of the same old-world type. Moreover, there is in this parish yet a third fabric of the kind. Its site is on the north-east side of Lewis, on Eilean cj Mor, the largest of the Flannan Isles. This ' hermitage is called Teamj^ull Bheannachaidh (" The Temple of Blessing.")] FINLAY COOK, pres. by George IV. 21st April, and adm. 29th July ^^^^ 1829 ; trans, to East Church, Inver- ness, Nov. 1833.

KIRKWALL AND ST OLA. [These two parishes were united towards the end of the sixteenth century. Kirkwall. — The great church of St Magnus, now belonging to this parish, was of old the Cathedral of the diocese of Orkney. St Olaf's, a building of small size, still fairly complete, was then the parish church of Kirkwall. The town was increasing, and the parochial area was of wide extent. Therefore, some years after 1560, a second parish, called St Magnus', was set up, having the Cathedral church for its place of worship. The parochial district assigned to it took in nearly all the Royal Burgh, but included a mere fraction of the large landward area. Kirk- wall had thus two parishes, St Magnus' for the town, and St Olaf's to be used by the rural people. In Kirkwall, as else- where, those were times of stress and strain in Church affairs. Hence it came about, before the end of the sixteenth century, that the parishes of St Magnus and St Olaf had to be again joined in one, with the Cathedral as their pai'ish church. In or about 1636, the situation was some- what relieved by the foundation of a Second Charge. This lasted until 1922, when the revenues of the suppressed Second Charge were added to the ordinary parochial endowment. St Magnus, Earl of Orkney, after whom the parish is named, was treacherously murdered in the island of Egilsay in 1104. St Ronald, his nephew, having recovered possession of the earldom, began the building of the Cathedral church at Kirkwall in 1137. Both St Magnus and St Ronald are buried here. In the Cathedral there were of old various chapels and altars. Among these were dedications to St John the Baptist, St Christopher, St Barbara, St Nicholas, and St Augustine. This beautiful church is now being worthily restored, ample funds for that end having been left by George Hunter MacThomas Thoms of Aberlemno, Sheriff of Orkney and Shetland. At Pickaquoy, within the burgh of Kirkwall, there was a chapel of St Duthac. Fairs were held in the town on St Magnus' Day, Palm Sunday, Lammas, and Martinmas. St Ola. — This was the original j^arish of Kirkwall. Its church was dedicated to St Olaf the King, Patron Saint of Norway. From this church, in early times, the adjacent harbour got the Norse name of Kirkju-vd(jr ("The Bay of the Church"). The town, which grew up, was called by that name. St Olaf's was a prebend of Kirkwall Cathedral.! I KIRKWALL] KIRKWALL AND ST OLA 221 First Charge.

He was a man of power in his day, and an uncompromising opponent of Episcopacy, being obliged on 7th June 1698 to complain to the Commission of Assembly that he had been assailed by "reproachful rhymes" and maliciously slandered because of his opinions. On 3rd Jan. 1703 he was ill and in bed, with no supply provided for his pulpit. The Cathedral bell began to ring, and his wife observed the congregation assembling and streaming into the building. She hastily assisted her husband to dress, and the pair proceeded to the church to find John Wilson, the deprived min. in the act of officiating. Mrs B. is said to have mounted the pulpit steps and to have dragged him out, while B. dismissed the congregation and had the doors locked. David Slater, the beadle, was removed from his office for having rung the bell without B.'s order. His defence was that Wilson still believed himself to be the min. of the parish, and to have right to "at least one-half of the pulpit." At the instigation of Captain Moodie of Melsetter, a charge of irreligion and blasphemy uttered in sermons preached 224 KIRKWALL AND ST OLA [PRESB. OF in March 1712 was raised against B. but was ultimately departed from, the accusa- tion being regarded as an act of revenge, the Kirk-Session and Presb. having dealt with Moodie for immoral conduct.

SOUTH RONALDSAY AND BURRAY. [This parish forms the northern part of the Island of Ronaldsay. Its church was dedicated to St Peter. St Peter's was a prebend of Kirkwall. In the sixteenth century the parishes of St Mary and Burray were united to St Peter's. St Mary's was severed again in 1875, and Burray in 1904. Within the bounds were the following chapels : St Mary's at Halcro, St Margaret's at St Margaret's Hope, St Ninian's at Stow, St Columba's at Burwick, and St Andrew's at Windwick. There is now a mission chapel at Herston. Sir THOMAS RATTRAY, vicar, 1561 1561-2 ; went to Shapinsay in 1566.

All that is known of him is that he " abundantly dilapidated his benefice.' His son John acquired considerable wealth by trading with Denmark, and was father of Sir William D. (1580-1655), Lord Provost of Edinburgh, well known for his riches and misfortunes. Sir William's son, John, was sheriff of Orkney in 1628. — [Craven's South Bonaldshaj/, 3 ; Hossack's Kirktvall, 226 ; Pitcairn's Crim. Trials, i., 413 ; 0. and Z.

Ninian witnessed a deed as "provost of Orkney" on Sept. 1592, and Avas still in the charge in 1605. It is probable that the name William has been misread for Ninian, and that William was not a minister at all.

After his deposition there in 1649, his wife petitioned the Presb. of Perth (in respect of the hard condition she and her family were in) " that the whole stipend of the year 1649 may be given to her, R. having served a great part of that year, and that she might have some allowance of the next year, in respect that her husband paid, at his entry, to the widow and executors of his predecessor." The Commission of Assembly decided in her favour.

Though frequently absent from his parish on ecclesiastical affairs, his duties were dis- charged with exactness and fidelity, and many improvements were effected in the educational and moral life of the com- munity.

GEOEGE LOW, bapt. 29th March 1747, 1774 *^"^^ ^'^^ °^ John L , farmer and beadle at Edzell [whose ancestors had long occujiied the farm of Meikle Tallo] and Isabella Coupar ; educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen, 1762-6, and Univ. of St Andrews ; tutor in the family of Robert Graham, merchant, Stromness, 1768; licen. by Presb. of Cairston in 1771 ; pres. by Sir Laurence Dundas, Bart., and ord. 14th Dec. 1774 ; died 13th March 1795, and was buried beneath the pulpit in Birsay Church. His whole life in Orkney was devoted to the study of its natural history and antiquities. He specialised as a microscopist, constructing a water- microscope (still extant at Skaill), and commencing in 1769 a series of "Micro- scopical Observations," adorning his work with beautiful Indian-ink illustrations. In 1770 he began an exhaustive History of the Orkneys, initiating his labour by a translation of Torfseus's History. In 1772 he formed the acquaintance of Sir Joseph Banks, then visiting Orkney on his return from Iceland with Dr Daniel Solander and Dr James Lind. By them he was intro- duced to the notice of Thomas Pennant, who gave him much encouragement. In 1774, at Pennant's expense, he made an extended tour of the southern Orkneys and the whole of the Shetland Islands, furnishing Pennant with valuable data for the concluding volume of his Tour in Scotland. In 1778 he visited the northern Orkneys, of which he wrote an account. His manuscript was purchased at an Edin- burgh book sale in 1899 by Sir Arthur Mitchell, and has been edited by Gilbert Goudie for the Viking Society (London, 1915). The holograph is now in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. In 1782 he was elected a corresponding member of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. Failure to get his writings published, though their value was repeatedly acknowledged, filled him with bitterness and despondency. A form of ophthalmia (the result of his incessant microscopic work) attacked him in 1790, and in three years he was almost totally blind. He solaced himself with music, preached with a new fervency, and pursued his studies as far as he was able, but increasing weakness soon shattered his never robust constitu- tion, and when he died, the sorrow of his people was profound and genuine. He marr. 27th Aug. 1775, Helen (died in child- bed 2nd Dec. 1776), only daugh. of James Tyrie, min. of Sand wick and Stromness. Publications — Most of L.'s MSS. came into the possession of his early friend, George Paton, Edinburgh. The Fauna Orcadensis was published by William Elforcl Leach, M.D. (Edinburgh, 1813). The History is owned by the representatives of Dr Omond. The Tour of 1774 was edited by Joseph Anderson, LL.D., with an appendix of ancient documents and an Introduction containing extracts from Low's correspond- ence (Kirkwall, 1879), and the MS. is in the library of the Univ. of Edinburgh. A Specimen of the Norse Language was edited by David Laing, LL.D. (Edinburgh, 1861). A commonplace book entitled A Cabinet of Curiosities, and dated 1766, written while a student, is also extant in manuscript. The MS. of the Flora Orcadensis cannot be traced.

W. appealed to the Archbishop, the Lords of Session, and Court of High Commission, and twice went south to prosecute the matter, and proposed to make another journey when the bishop reminded him that "if he took this thyrd it would be over many in one year." He was frequently absent from his charge and in trouble with co- Presbyters and parishioners. Bishop Grahame publicly called him a "swindger," and he was more than once admonished. In Feb. 1637, he expressed regret for his actions, begging that he " be not altogether put from the calling of the ministry," but allowed " to live amongst you in such place to the glorie of God and the welfare of the people."

(See page 417.) 1576 PATKTCK ADAMSON, born Perth, probably on 15th March 1536-37, son of Patrick A., baker ; educated at Grammar School of Perth and Univ. of St Andrews; M.A. 1558 (under the name of Constyne, Constean, Coustane, or Constant) ; declared qualified to preach by General Assembly of 1560, and adm. min. of Ceres {cf. Vol. V., 130) ; dem. some years later and travelled as a tutor on the Continent, where he was imprisoned for six months, having published a poem (in thanksgiving for the birth of a son to Queen Mary) which gave offence to the French Government. On being released he found his way to Geneva, where he studied divinity under Theodore Beza. In 1567-8 he was again in Paris, but finding it in the throes of civil war he fled to Bourges where, disguised, he hid in an inn for seven months, during which period he translated the Book of Job into Latin verse, composed a tragedy on the subject of Herod, and rendered the Confession of Faith into Latin. Having returned to Scotland he became min. of Paisley, Aug. 1572, and resumed his name of Adamson ; was chap- lain to the Regent Morton, and nominated Archbishop of St Andrews 14th, and re- ceived the Royal confirmation 21st Sept. 1576, with a command for his consecration. Almost immediately he came into conflict with the Presbyterian party, various charges being brought against him, and threats made which forced him to shut himself up within the castle of St Andrews, where he was seized with an illness that bafl[led the skill of his physicians, but yielded to the treatment of a woman, Alison Pearson, through whom he made a complete re- covery. [Though escaping for a time, Alison was ultimately tried before the Court of Justiciary and burned as a witch.] In 1583 he went to London, where he preached to large crowds and gained the friendship of many English churchmen. In May 1584 he was back in Scotland, but found himself increasingly detested by the people, who, on one occasion during his sermon in St Giles, left the church almost in a body. At a meeting of the Synod of Fife, April 1586, following a violent attack on his character and conduct by James Melvill, he was ex- communicated, but immediately restored by the Assembly. In June 1587 and May 1590 other charges were preferred against him, amongst them that he had solemnised the marriage of the Earl of Huntly with the daughter of the Duke of Lennox, and had defaced and mutilated entries in the Assembly's Registers. The case was re- ferred to the Presb. of Edinburgh by whom he was excommunicated, the Assembly concurring. He died 19th Feb. 1592, worn out with vexation and worry, weighed down by sickness and poverty.

In 1651 he became leader of the Resolutioners ; on 28th Aug. that year he was made prisoner by Cromwell's forces at Alyth, and taken to London, where he lay in the Tower until 10th April 1652 when he was released on giving his bond not to remove from the city ; on 17th June he was allowed to return to Scotland, and later he was given full liberty. In 1657 he went to London to interview Cromwell on behalf of the Resolutioners, but did not succeed. In 1659 he identified himself with the programme of General Monk, and penned the Declaration which, in Monk's name, was widely circulated, and led to the Restoration. In 1660 he was one of the deputation of six ministers sent to London to represent the views of the Resolutioners, and in May he had an inter- view with Charles II. at Breda ; app. a royal chaplain, and had the Chair of Divinity at St Andrews, 12th Jan. 1661 ; nominated Archbishop of St Andrews and consecrated (at London) 15th Dec. following; app. a Privy Councillor in 1664. On 9th July 1668 he narrowly escaped a pistol shot in the High Street of Edinburgh by James Mitchell [Bishop Honyman of Orkney {q.v.), his companion, was wounded, and never fully recovered ; the assailant was executed in 1678]. On 3rd May 1679, at Magus Moor, near St Andrews, he met his death at the hands of John Balfour of Burleigh, and others, whose intention was the captur- ing or slaying of the sheriff-substitute of the shire, the chief offender in the persecu- tion of the local Covenanters. He was buried in the parish church of St Andrews, where an ornate marble monument was erected by his son. His portrait, by Lely, is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. By the Presbyterians, Sharp was execrated as a traitor, bent on his own aggrandisement and advancement, sharing and abetting the King's duplicity. Episco- palian opinion has regarded him as the victim of circumstance, who yielded only when he found that Presbyterianism could no longer be maintained. Recent research has not altered the first of these judgments. The editor of the Lauderdale Papers (Osmund Airy) [vol. i., p. x.] declares that " a careful perusal of the whole series will save any future biographer from the temptation of endeavouring to palliate a life of petty meanness such as has seldom been exceeded in history. In the most comprehensive sense of the word Sharp was a knave, pur sang, and one who, to retain the price of his knavery, eagerly submitted to be cajoled, threatened, bullied, or ignored, by bolder men as served their turn."

In 1547 he was nomi- nated Archbishop of Glasgow by the Dean and Chapter, but the election being disputed by the Eegent Arran, James Beaton was appointed in 1551, Pope Julius III. con- ferring on G., as a compensation, the titular Archbishopric of Athens ; app. Bishop of the Isles 26th Nov. 1553, but it is doubtful if he was ever consecrated, no evidence being found to that effect ; trans, to this See Sept. 1558, holding in commendam the Abbeys of Tongland and Inchaffray. In 1560 he identified himself with the Ee- formers and voted in Parliament, 1st Aug., for the Acts establishing the new doctrines, and on 17th Jan. 1561 he subscribed the First Book of Discipline with this stipula- tion, that existing prelates should possess their revenues for life on condition of embracing the Eeformation, and making provision for the ministry within their dioceses. [Both Knox and Wodrow refer to him as the only Bishop who joined the Eeformers, but that is an error]; app. a Privy Councillor 3rd Nov. 1565, and an Extraordinary Lord of Session 26th Nov. following. In 1567 he was accused of not having visited the kirks within his charge for three years, of having haunted the Court too much, and of holding offices incompatible with his sacred calling. He pled guilty, but his commission was con- tinued, with an admonition to be more diligent and exemplary. On 4th Jan. 1568 he resigned his See in favour of his son John, and thereafter much of his life was concerned with the cause of Queen Mary, whom he served with fidelity, though she had told Knox, in an interview at Loch- leven in 1563, that G. was "a dangerous man." On 8th May 1568 he signed the bond for the Queen's restoration after her escape from Lochleven, whereupon the Assembly cautioned him as to his conduct, and in the following year inhibited him from "any function in the kirk." He continued to pray for Queen Mary, and on 17th June 1571 preached in St Giles (Knox having found it necessary to retire from Edinburgh), saying in the course of his sermon that "na inferior subject has power to deprive or depose their lawfull magistrat, he or she whatsumever, albeit they commit whoredome, murther, incest, or ony uther cryme, being anes by God just and lawful prince or princess to reign above you, not chosen as the imperiall 344 BISHOPS [galloway magistrats are." In Aug. 1572 he was charged by the Assembly with intruding into the ministry at Edinburgh and acknow- ledging the Queen's authority, and in the following year he was ordered to do public penance in sackcloth on three suc- cessive Sundays, a sentence which, March 1574, was reduced to one day's penance without sackcloth. He attended the As- sembly which opened on 6th Aug. 1575; died on 11th Nov. that year at Clary, Penninghame. He marr. Barbara Logic of Ennis (she survived him and marr.

As a Professor he was greatly beloved by his numerous students, many of whom belonged to various nationalities, attracted to Edinburgh by the spell of his learning and renown.

From a shepherd's cottage he rose to a position of commanding dis- tinction, only equalled by that of his predecessor, Dr Thomas Chalmers.

ST MARY'S COLLEGE [At its foundation in 1537 St Mary's was intended to be a College for instruction in Divinity, Law, and Medicine, as well as in Arts, but its career on this extensive scale was short-lived.

Nothing certain is known as to his parentage, but he belonged to the HunthiU family (from whom Sir Walter Scott was descended) and his father is believed to have been a PRINCIPALS ST MARY'S COLLEGE 419 farmer or miller. A brother was school- master of Kirkcudbright, and Eeader there, and another brother was an officer in the Dutch service ; educated at Jedburgh Grammar School and Univ. of Edinburgh ; M.A. (1621); app. regent of Humanity at Edinburgh in 1623 ; dem. that office in 1626, because of immoral conduct with Euphame Hamilton (afterwards his wife) (Mimites of Edinburgh Town Council, 3rd Feb. 1626); adm. to Anwoth in 1627, probably without Episcopal sanction. In 1630 he was summoned before the Court of High Commission, but the charge of non - conformity was not persisted in. Mainly for his publication of a work against Arminianism he was again accused in 1636 by Bishop Sydserff, and after pro- ceedings at Wigtown, was cited before the Commission and prohibited, 27th July, from exercising ministerial office, and ordered to reside in Aberdeen during the King's pleasure. During this period he wrote most of his well-known Letters, In Feb. 1638 he returned to Anwoth and attended the Glasgow Assembly that year as one of two commissioners from his Presb. Shortly afterwards he was elected one of the mins. of Edinburgh, but the Commission of Assembly appointed him, in preference. Professor of Divinity at St Andrews, which office he only accepted on condition that he should be allowed to act as colleague with Robert Blair, one of the mins. of St Andrews, 7th Jan. 1639. He was a member of succeed- ing Assemblies and consistently supported the Covenanting Party therein. In 1643 he was appointed one of the Commissioners of the Church of Scotland to the West- minster Assembly and preached several times before Parliament, remaining in London for four years ; app. to Principal- ship in 1647 ; was offered in 1648 a Divinity Professorship at Harderwyck in Holland, in 1649 the Chair at Edinburgh, and in 1651 he was twice elected to a Professorship at Utrecht, but all these he declined. In 1643, 1644, 1650, and 1651 he was elected rector of the Univ., and in 1650 on Charles II.'s visit to St Andrews, he made a Latin speech to him on the duty of Kings, and in 1651 he joined the Protesters. After the Restoration he was one of the first marked out for persecution, his work Lex Rex was ordered by the Committee of Estates to be burnt at the Crosses of Edinburgh and St Andrews, and he was deprived of his office of Principal. Further, he was cited to appear before Parliament on a charge of treason, but he died 29th March 1661 [the date — 20th— on his tombstone is an error]. One of the classical figures of the Church of Scotland, his influence during his lifetime, as scholar, preacher, and writer, was profound and wide, and after his death his name received a popular canonisation which it retains to this day. Some forty editions of his Letters have been reprinted (Bonar's edition contains 365), and innumerable anecdotes of his sayings and doings are enshrined in, and constitute no inconsiderable part of the Scottish tradition. Among his last words were : " Glory shines in Immanuel'a Land," on which Mrs Anne Ross Cousin founded her hymn, " The Sands of Time are sinking." He was buried in the churchyard of St Regulus. In 1842, a massive granite obelisk to his memory was erected at Anwoth, where the site of his manse — Bush-o'-beild — and " Rutherford's Walk " and " Witnesses " are still pointed out. His church stands ruinous in the churchyard. Hemarr.

The names of those who presided over the first four Assemblies have not been recorded. It is probable that .John Knox constituted these meetings, but the first reference to his doing so does not occur until the fifth Assembly. When a Moderator held that oflSce more than once, this is indicated by numbers at the end of his name.] 1560, 20th December. At Edinburgh. The first General Assembly of the Reformed Church met in the ]\Iagdalene Chapel, in the Cowgate. It consisted of forty- two members, of whom six only were ministers. They sat as " the ministers and commissioners of the particular kirks in Scotland, convened upon the things which are to set forward God's glory, and the weal of His Kirk in this realm." The chief business of this Assembly was to give approval to a number of persons who were recom- mended as Readers, Ministers, and Superintendents. Acts were also passed in regard to the laws of con- sanguinity, the election of ministers, elders, and deacons, the confirmation of testaments, and ordaining that those who had held oflSce in the Popish Church, and were of honest conversa- tion, should be supported with the alms of the Kirk, as other poor : that the Parliament should be petitioned to admit none to public offices but such as were of the Reformed religion, and to punish sharply all sayers and hearers of Mass. This Assembly seems to have continued its sittings during seven days, when it adjourned to meet on the 15th of .January 1501. 1561, 15th January.

George Buchanan, born at Middle Ledlewan, or The Moss, Dumgoyne, Killearn, Stirlingshire, about 1st Feb. 1506, fifth [not third, as in Diet. Nat. Biog.] son of Thomas B. [son of Robert B. of Drumikil, an insolvent laird] and Agnes Heriot, said (on slight authority) to have been a daugh. of Heriot of Trabroun ; educated first at Killearn School and, as appears probable (from a Letter of Robert Baillie, iii., 402) at the Grammar School of Glasgow. In 1520, having shown remarkable promise of scholarship, he was sent by his uncle James Heriot to Paris, where he gave himself chiefly to the study of Latin composition. His uncle died, and his widowed mother being too poor to maintain his resi- dence abroad, he returned home ; served with the French troops brought by John, Duke of Albany, to Scotland, and was present at the siege of Wark- upon-Tweed in 1523. In 1524 he became (with his brother Patrick) a student at St Andrews under John Mair, or Major, and graduated B.A. 3rd Oct. 1525. The summer following he entered the Scots College at Paris, and was M.A. in March 1528 ; taught grammar in the College of St Barbe and tutor to Gilbert Kennedy, Earl of Cassilis, 1531-6. He returned to Scotland in 1536, when James V. appointed him tutor to his natural son, Lord James Stewart, afterwards Abbot of Kelso. Being prosecuted for the writing of two Satires against the Franciscan friars, he fled to France in 1539, spent two years at Bordeaux as Latin Professor in the College of IGuienne, and had Montaigne as one of his pupils. In 1547 he went with the Portuguese, Andre de Gouvea, to teach in his newly-establishedseminary at Coimbra. When in prison in 1551 charged at the instance of the Inquisi- tion as a heretic and anti-Romanist he solaced himself with translations of the Psalms into Latin verse. In 1552 he escaped to England but soon returned to France, where he became tutor in the family of Marechal de Brissac, a post which he held for five years. Returning to Scotland about 1560, he became a favourite at Court and was classical reader to Queen Mary, from whom he received a grant of the temporalities of Crossraguel Abbey. He openly embraced the Reformed doctrines, took an active share in the government of the Church, was a member of several General Assemblies, and was elected Moderator [not as a layman, as commonly represented, but in virtue of his oflBce as Principal of St Leonard's College, St Andrews (to which he was app. in 1566) min. of the parish and Professor of Divinity] 25th June 1567. In 1568 he was one of the commissioners sent to England to defend the Scottish nobles for having deposed and imprisoned their Queen. He believed her guilty of the murder of Darnley, and penned his memorable Detectio Marice Regince (1571) in which the proofs against Mary were assembled with remorseless skill. In 1570 he was named tutor to the young King, James VI., and resigned his Prin- cipalship ; was made Director of Chancery and Keeper of the Privy Seal, with a seat in Parliament and in the Privy Council. In 1578 he was one of a Government Commission to examine a work on the " Policy of the Kirk," and the General Assembly placed under his revision (with others) Adamson's Latin version of the Book of Job. In 1579 he published Be Jure Regni ajnid Scotos, the most important of his political writings, and in 1582 his Rerum Scoticarum Historia, the work of twenty years, dying within a month thereafter in Kennedy's Close, High Street, Edin- burgh, on 28th Sept. His grave in the Greyfriars Churchyard is unknown. To his memory David Laing, the antiquary, erected a cenotaph (with bust) in the churchyard. Old Grey- friars Church contains a fine memorial window. An obelisk, 103 feet in 438 MODERATORS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY height, was erected at Killearn, in 1788. Buchanan's reputed skull is in the Anatomical Museum of Edinburgh University. In honour of the 400th anniversary of his birth, an academic Celebration of great interest and bril- liancy was held at St Andrews in July 1906. A similar Celebration took place atGlasgow.

ARMY AND NAVY CHAPLAINS [Following the Crimean War and the Indian ^ilutiny, in which several ministers of the Church of Scotland served as chaplains, a Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains (now Chaplains to His ^Majesty's Forces) was appointed by the General Assembly in 1860, with John Cook, D.D., St Andrews, as Convener. He was succeeded in 1863 by Kenneth Macleay Phin, D.D., minister of Galashiels. In 1878 the Committee became a Sub-Committee of the Colonial Committee. In 1900, under the Convenership of Theodore Marshall, D.D., it again became a separate Committee, James Alexander M'Clymont, C.B.E., D.D., being Convener from 1909 to his death on 19th Sept. 1927. During the European War (1914-18) a large number of ministers were engaged on chaplaincy work abroad and at home. As far as possible their periods of field service have been noted at their respective parishes. In 1928 the complement of commissioned Presbyterian chaplains in the Regular Army was twelve, of whom nine held permanent and three temporary commissions. Six of these appointments were held by ministers of the Church of Scotland. Three ministers were exclusively occupied as officiating chaplains at London, Caterham, Dover, and Hythe. Seventeen held appointments at military stations in or near their home parishes. A large number of ministers were chaplains of the Territorial Army. In the Pi,oyal Air Force there were three chaplains. In the Royal Navy the Church of Scotland was represented by one commissioned chaplain and an officiating chaplain at Portsmouth. Nineteen parish ministers acted as officiating chaplains to the Presbyterians on H.M. ships stationed in their neighbourhood.] WILLIAM ANDERSON, ord. in 1858 ; served at Chatham ; went to Canada with troops 1861 ; dem. 1863.

SYNOD OF THE SCOTTISH CHURCH IN ENGLAND [On 4th May 1836, by recommendation of the General Assembly, the Presbyteries of Lancashire and North-West of England, under whose jurisdiction were congregations connected with the Church of Scotland, met at Manchester and agreed to constitute themselves into a Synod with the designation of the " Presbyterian Church in England in connection with the Church of Scotland.'' In 1839 they were joined by the Presbyteries of London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; in 1840 by the Presbytery of Berwick-upon-Tweed ; and in 1842 by those of Northumberland and North-West of Northumberland. In 1843 the Synod became identified with the Free Church, and the latter part of its designation was dropped. For some years the eighteen scattered congregations which adhered to the Church of Scotland (the Presbytery of London excepted) carried on their work mostly as independent units. In 1850 these were again united into Presbyteries, and a Synod was constituted in 1851 as "The Scottish Synod in England in connection with the Church of Scotland." On 28th May 1927, the General Assembly enacted and ordained "that with the concurrence of the Scottish Synod in England, the congregations embraced in that Synod shall be attached to such Presbyteries of the Church of Scotland as may be determined by the General Assembly," having "the same status as that which belongs to other congregations in each such Presbytery," such incorporation to take efiect when the necessary financial and other implications have been mutually agreed upon by the General Assembly and the Scottish Synod in England, and finally approved by the General Assembly. In 1928 the Synod comprised three Presbyteries, consisting of ten congregations.] PRESBYTEEY OF ^"ORTH OF ENGLAND BERWICK-UPON-TWEED. [JOHN PtOUGH, a pre-Keformation priest who conformed to Protestantism, was the earliest Presbyterian preacher in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Appointed by Lord Protector Somerset in 1547, he removed soon afterwards to Newcastle and Hull, and ten years later suffered martyr- dom at Smithfield. In 1549, John Knox followed Ptough at Berwick, where he exercised a remarkable influence on the morals and manners of the people. James Melville was at Berwick from 1610 till his death on 13th Jan. 1613. A monu- ment commemorating his ministry has been erected in the parish church. John Welsh, min. of Ayr, lived in exile at Berwick, preaching sometimes on the frozen surface of the Tweed to avoid the ecclesiastical penalties of both countries. In 1648 John OxENBRiDGE was min. of Berwick when a new parish church was built. He was succeeded in 1653 by Nicholas Wressel (afterwards ejected) who had for colleagues Luke Ogle (cf. Vol. II., 21) and Gilbert Rule {cf. Vol. I., 39), ejected min. of Alnwick, afterwards Principal of Edinburgh Univ. Patrick Warner assisted at Ber- wick and Tweedmouth till his admission to Irvine in 1688. Gilbert Laurie of Crossrig (cf. Vol. II., 52) was colleague to Luke Ogle till his admission to Hutton and Fishwick 19th Dec. 1693. 458 BERWICK-UPON-TWEED [PRESB. OF In the first half of the eighteenth century there were at Berwick three congregations of Presbyterians, known as the Low, the High, and Middle Meetings, corresponding to their localities in the town. The Low and High Meetings continued in connection with the Church of Scotland and were united in 1879 to form St Andrew's Church in Hide Hill. The Middle Meeting was erected in 1756, soon after the foundation of that congregation.

CROWN COURT, COVENT GARDEN. [This congregation is first found in 1711 as one of two which worshipped together in St Peter's Court, St Martin's Lane (in a two-storied building erected over the archway through which entry was had to the court from the lane), under the pastoral care of George Gordon and Patrick Russell. The tradition that one of those congregations had worshipped in the chapel of the Scottish Embassy (Scotland Yard), destroyed by fire in 1697, is probably correct. The building in St Peter's Court, vacated in 1719, was afterwards used as a studio by Rubilliac, the famous sculptor, and the Academy for the Improvement of Painters and Sculptors which he founded, precursor of the Royal Academy of 1768. On 24th March 1719, a new church in Crown Court, Russell Street, Covent Garden, was completed at a cost of £611, 10s. lid., and " the Most Noble the Peeres of North Britain, by Mr Russell's interest, did con- tribute to him for the building of the chapel,'' afterwards known as the Scottish National Church. It was rebuilt in 1777, and in 1847, and again in 1909. (See Black's >S'co<s CInirches in England, 75-111).] PATRICK RUSSEL or RUSSELL, M.A. (Edinburgh, 13th July 1695) {cf. Vol. L, 269) ; formerly min. of Drumelzier. Went to London, where he was associated with George Gordon in the pastoral care of the two congregations worshipping in St Peter's Court, St Martin's Lane, 1711-14. On Gordon's death, both congregations resolved that they will have "only one minister in time to come, and they unanimously did make choice of Russel." He removed with his congregation to the new chapel erected in Crown Court 24th March 1719, and ministered till his death 27th Nov. 1746 ; buried in Bunhill Fields. Walter Wilson says of him that he " enforced with serious earnestness the uncorrupted doctrine of the Gospel . . . preaching but the Sunday preceding his death."

(Edinburgh, 8th July 1843); dem. his charge 21st July 1879 (when a sum of £3000 was raised as a testimonial) ; died at Chiswick 5th July 1881 and buried in Kensal Green. He was one of the most popular preachers in London, attracting great congregations and rebuilding his church with sittings for a thousand worshippers. He took keen interest in many philanthropic schemes, became prominent as a controversialist, a champion of the Establishment principle, and a determined opponent of the Papacy, his public discussion at Hammersmith in 1839 with Daniel French, a Roman Catholic lawyer, creating much excitement and winning him wide admiration. The printed Report was extensively circulated. In 1863 he lectured against Bishop Colenso. He was the first to hold services in Exeter Hall, his Sunday audiences numbering over 4000. He established Ragged day and Sunday Schools, attended up to 1879 by 16,250 children. His interpretations of proiJiecy gave him wide celebrity, and he clung stoutly to the view that the "last vial " of the Book of Revelation was to be poured out from 1848 to 1867. The Times described him as a "luminary blazing in the mid-heavens, and outshining the light of day." He was a voluminous author, and his works had a wide vogue.

CHARGES IN ENGLAND, NOW EXTINCT, OR MERGED WITH OTHER CONGREGATIONS [Ministers connected with the Church of Scotland who have served Charges in England, now extinct, or merged with other congregations.] [The Eestoration of Charles 11, in 1660 proved a calamitous event in the history of English Presbyterianism. On 19th May 1662, there was passed the Act of Uniformity by which Episcopacy obtained complete ascendency and Presbyterianism was rent asunder. Ee-ordination by Bishops was made compulsory on all ministers whose previous ordination had been other than Episcopal. Abjuration of the Scottish League and Covenant became obligatory, and the unlawfulness of taking up arms against the King, no matter the provocation, had to be acknowledged. The time limit of three months expired on St Bartholomew's Day, 24th August 1662, when over 2000 ministers of the Church of England, mainly Presbyterian in their convictions, were driven with their families from their churches and homes. The Conventicle Act forbade any religious gathering of more than five persons unless they were Episcopalian. The Five Mile Act prohibited ejected ministers from entering the towns and burghs. The Oxford Act debarred all save Episcopalians from the Universities. Breaches of any of these Acts were punished with severe fines or by long periods of imprisonment. Many Presbyterian causes in Northumberland and elsewhere are traceable to this dark, obnoxious time. The Eevolution of 1688 and the arrival of a Presbyterian ruler, William of Orange, brought relief to the stricken Presbyterians, who, however, were only "tolerated " by the 472 BERKSHIRE— BUCKINGHAMSHIRE [charges in Episcopal party. They were allowed to build their own " meeting-houses," but anything in the nature of Presbyterian organisation was banned. No Presbytery or Synod was possible. The result was that many Presbyterians adopted a purely independent position and became, for all practical purposes, Congregationalists. The teaching of the pulpit also and the conduct of divine service, which was subject to no control, succumbed not seldom to the unorthodox tendencies of the times. Arianism and Unitarianism replaced evangelical Christianity, and were often regarded as only another name for Presbyterianism. With the advent of the eighteenth century there came a revival of Presbyterianism, mainly brought about by the influx of Scots immigrants to the northern and central districts of England and into London, where a Scots congregation had existed since 1672, and a Presbytery in connection with the Church of Scotland was estalilished in 1760. Not a few congregations were created also by those who adhered to the Secession and Relief Churches in Scotland. With one or other of these bodies, the surviving English Presbyterian congregations largely associated themselves, but that the Scottish influence prevailed is seen in the designations of the two Presbyterian groups when they came to constitute themselves into a broader organisation. In 1836 there was formed the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in England in connection with the Church of Scotland. In 184.3 the latter part of this designation was omitted [see under Scottish Church in England]. On 13th June 1876, a Union eflfected between the Presbyterian Church in England and the English U.P. Synod resulted in the reconstituted Presbyterian Church of England.] BEEKSHIRE HURST.

On reaching London, he was chosen to preach to a number of his own country- men "who formed themselves into a Society upon the model of the Church of Scotland," thus establishing, at the Hall of the Founders' Company, oflf Lothbury (behiod the Bank of England), the earliest congregation of Scots Presbyterians in England, of which he was minister till his death in July 1677.

On 19th June 1698 he was settled in London, where his abundant labours greatly influenced the prospects of the Church, and gave him wide celebrity and esteem.

CALEDONIAN CHURCH, CROSS STREET, AND NATIONAL SCOTS CHURCH, REGENT SQUARE. [On 28th May 1778, twenty-five High- landers in London instituted the Highland Society of London, having for one of its objects the establishment of systematic Gaelic preaching in the metropolis. In 1812 a chapel in Cross Street, Hatton Garden, was purchased for £4150 from a body of Swedenborgians, and, controlled by the Directors of the Caledonian Asylum, steps were taken to form a Gaelic congregation, the building to be known as the Caledonian Church. On 19th May 1823 a scheme was launched for a National Scots Church in London, and a freehold site was acquired in Regent Square for £1500. The foundation stone was laid by John, Earl of Breadalbane, on 1st July 1824, in the absence, through illness, of H.R.H. the Duke of Clarence, afterwards King William IV. On 11th May 1827 opening services were conducted by Dr Chalmers, the total cost of the building being over £21,000. At the Secession of 1843, minister and people joined the Free Church. Regent Square is now one of the historic congregations within the Presbyterian Church of England.] JAMES BOYD {cf Vol. III., 476), ord. to Caledonian Church 18th Jan. 1818; adra. to Auchinleck 6th May 1819 [after- wards of Tron Parish, Glasgow].

EDWARD IRVING, born Annan, 4th Aug. 1792, second son of Gavm I., tanner, and Mary Lowther (from Dornock) ; edu- cated at Annan Academy and Univ. of Edinburgh ; M.A. (10th April 1809); master in the mathematical school, Haddington, 1810-12 (where Jane Welsh, afterwards wife of Thomas Carlyle, was one of his pupils); master of Kirkcaldy Academy 1812-18 ; licen. by Presb. of Kirkcaldy June 1815 ; had thoughts of going to Persia as a missionary, "labouring after the Apostolic fashion," but having been invited to officiate in St George's Church, Edinburgh, Thomas Chalmers, D.D., being one of his hearers, he became assistant to the latter at St John's, Glasgow, Oct. 1819. Preached a trial sermon at Caledonian Church, London, before George, Duke of York, President of the Caledonian Asylum, on Christmas Sunday 1821 ; was invited to become min. but difficulties (afterwards adjusted) emerged on account of his ignor- ance of Gaelic (then necessary under the trust-deed of the Asylum) and did not enter on the charge until 16th Oct. 1822, having been ord. by Presb. of Annan in July preceding. A reference by George Canning in the House of Commons to Irving as a preacher assisted his growing reputation, which speedily developed into fame. Crowds from all classes flocked to hear him, admission by ticket was instituted, and on 11th May 1827, a new church in Regent Square was opened for worship. Attracted to the study of prophecy through the work of the Spanish Jesuit, Manuel Lacunza, Irving developed various fantastic theories on the near imminence of the second advent, the gift of tongues, and the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, on which he published considerably and lectured widely both in England and Scotland. In Dec. 1830 he withdrew from the jurisdiction of the London Presbytery on an attempt to prosecute him for unsound doctrine. On 12th March 1832 the trustees of his church originated proceedings before the Presb. and he was removed from his charge 26th April following, but 800 communicants accompanied him to a new place of worship where they assumed the name of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. On a charge of heresy as to the sinlessness of Jesus, he was deposed by the Presb. of Annan, 13th March 1833, a circumstance which broke his heart. He died of con- sumption at Glasgow, 7th Dec. 1834, his last words being, "If I die, I die unto the Lord." He was buried in the crypt of Glasgow Cathedral. An orator of the pulpit, peerless in his generation, spoken of as "the greatest preacher the world has seen since Apostolic times," Edward Irving was the most striking and the most tragic figure of Scottish ecclesiastical history. With all his faults there was about him a sublimity as of the old prophets. His confident estimate of his own powers and of the rule he was fitted to fulfil, carried him forward to vast successes, but he was always humble, and his personal life was that of a saint. The genuineness of his beliefs in the "unknown tongues" (first heard on 28th March 1830 from Mary Campbell, at Fernicarry, on the Gareloch, and continued by others at private prayer-meetings, and in the public services at Regent Square) has never been questioned. A statue of Irving [by J. W. Dods, sculptor, Dumfries] was unveiled at Annan by Professor Archibald H. Charteris, D.D., on 4th Aug. 1892, the centenary of Irving's birth.

SWALLOW STREET, PICCADILLY. [The date of this foundation is not known with certainty, but it was formed apparently soon after the Revolution. A meeting- house in Glasshouse Street was the first place of worship. In 1710 the congregation purchased the lease of a chapel (afterwards reconstructed) in Swallow Street, built on Crown land about 1692 by a body of French Protestants, and about this period the cause was greatly strengthened by an accession of English Presbyterians worship- ping at a meeting-house close by, which had originally been that of Richard Baxter after his ejection from Oxendon Chapel. In 1734 Dr Anderson and a section of his congrega- tion quitted Swallow Street and established a separate place of worship at Lisle Street (q.v.). In 1880 the long, chequered career of Swallow Street was brought to a close, the building sold, many of its members con- necting themselves with Crown Court, and Marylebone Presbyterian Church of England.] JAMES ANDERSON, born Aberdeen about 1690, son of John A., Mudehouse, and brother of Adam A., historian of commerce [see Diet.

(See under Bolton.) [The ministers thereafter belonged to the English Presbyterian Church.] IRELAND [Ministers connected with the Church of Scotland who have held charges in Ireland from 1613.] [Presbyterianism in Ireland owes its origin to Scottish colonisation and to the religious persecution in Scotland during the reigns of James VI. and Charles I. The collapse of the Irish Rebellion and flight of the Earls of Tyrconnell and Tyrone in 1607, placed at the disposal of the Crown nearly 4,000,000 acres of forfeited territory in the North of Ireland. Thither a steady stream of immigration passed from Scotland, until in a short period the whole of Ulster became prevailingly Scottish. The paucity of Irish Episcopal ministers being insufficient to cope with the new population, ministers from Scotland were happily and providentially found, as a result of the triumph of Episcopacy in 1G13. They were welcomed by Archbishop Ussher and his colleagues, and settled in Episcopal charges, yet allowed to retain their Presbyterianism. Amongst these were Edward Bryce [or Brice], Robert Blair, James Hamilton, Josias Welch, John Livingstone {infra), who had all suffered for conscience sake. But their successes in the fresh field led to embitterment on the part of the Bishops, until, in 1636, the Presbyterian ministers were ejected from their livings and driven from the country. On 23rd Oct. 1641, the Irish Insurrection broke out, when vast numbers of Protestants were massacred by the native Irish. A relief force of 10,000 men was despatched from Scotland under Major-General Robert Monro, who quelled the Rebellion and remained to quieten the country. To this was due the re-introduction of Presbyterianism through the regimental chaplains who were now the only ministers, the Bishops having fled and most of their clergy slain. On 10th June 1642, there was formed the first Irish Presbytery, that of Carrickfergus. From the Church of Scotland help was immediately forthcoming, and a revived Presbyterianism was soon in ample evidence until in 1660, there were in Ulster 80 congregations, 70 ministers, 5 Presbyteries, and 100,000 communicants. The Restora- tion of 1660 brought an abrupt, unwelcome check to the progress of the Church, and inaugurated a period of persecution which lasted for over a century. In 1661, sixty- four ministers chose ejection rather than submit to prelatic re-ordination (Latimer's Hist., 129). Better times came with King William. At his death in 1702, there were 9 Presbyteries, 3 Sub-Synods, and a General Annual Synod. Later, the Irish Presby- terian Church became a centre of keen doctrinal dissension. A body of " New Lights," opposed to the Westminster Confession, and organised in 1725 as the Non-Subscribing Presbytery of Antrim, became excluded from the Synod in 1726. In 1741 the Secession Church of Scotland began a mission in Ireland, and on 12th April 1750, the first Associate Presbytery was instituted at Artikelly, near Limavady. In 1829 the Synod of Ulster became divided on the Arian Controversy, when seventeen ministers, who espoused those views, formed themselves into the Remonstrant Presbytery of Ulster. Their separation prepared the way for a junction between the Ulster Synod and the Seceders. This Union was consummated on 10th July 1840, when ministers and people thus ' incorjjorated, assumed the designation of "The General Assembly of the Presbyterian ' Church in Ireland." In 1854, the isolated congregations in the South and East, which comprised the Synod of Munster, joined in, giving to the Church at last a position and a power in the land, which, but for her great oppressions, should have been hers long years before.] | 626 CHARGES IN IRELAND 527 CHARGES IN IRELAND SINCE 1613 ADAIR, PATRICK, son of William A., min. of Ayr ; educated at Univ. of Glasgow ; ord. to Cairncastle 7th May 1646 ; removed to Belfast 13th Oct. 1674 ; died 1694.

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND OVERSEAS CONTINENT OF EUROPE [On the Continent of Europe the Church of Scotland conducts regular services at Brussels, Geneva, Paris, and Venice. A chaplaincy at Brussels was begun in 1830, but was discontinued on account of the national troubles in Holland. Temporary appoint- ments followed at a later period. In 1908 a permanent chaplaincy was instituted, and a place of worship erected at 181 Chaussee de Vleurgat, near Avenue Louise. At Geneva (associated with the work of John Knox in earlier days, and, in modern times, as head- quarters of the League of Nations, upwards of forty International Societies having also their offices there) summer services were inaugurated in August 1867 by Alexander ^Mitchell, D.D., Professor in the University of St Andrews, and continued yearly by ministers of the Church of Scotland. In 1926 a permanent chaplain was appointed. Worship is held in the beautiful Chapel of the Maccabees in the Cathedral of St Pierre. The chaplaincy at Paris dates from 1858, when the congregation worshipped in the dome of the Oratoire. A church situated at 17 Rue Bayard, Avenue Montaigne, near Avenue des Champs Elysees, was purchased in 1884 for £5000, and opened 1st Nov. 1885. In 1900 the Chaplaincy at Venice became connected with the Church of Scotland. Services were conducted at Dresden for many years previous to 1914, when they were suspended. In 1884 a church and manse were purchased. At Homburg also summer services have been discontinued since 1914.] BELGIUM BRUSSELS.

AMSTERDAM 537 HOLLAND [Ministers of the Church of Scotland and others who have served in Scottish Churches in Holland.] AMSTERDAM. [The Scottish Church at Amsterdam was built about the year 1400. Originally a Chapel connected with the ancient order of nuns known as Baguines, who lived in the Bagynenhof (Baguines' Court) nearby, it was assigned in 1607 by the municipal authorities as a meeting-place for a con- gregation of refugees from Scotland and England, of whom, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, large numbers fled to Holland, and of British merchants attracted to Amsterdam, then one of the busiest marts of the world. The founding of the congre- gation is thus described in the Church Records : " In the yeare of our Lord and Saviour 1607, the third day of the moneth commonly called February, about four of the cloke in the afternone is the Church in the Round Bagijnhof opened and in pres- ence of Mijnheer de Schout and D. Petrus Plancius, minister of the Reformed Dutch Church in Amstelredamme is the praeching- stoel brought in that same Church and set up for the English -people dwelling at Amstelredamme in Holland. The next day following being the Lord's day about nyn of the clocke in the forenoon after prayer and thancksgeiving unto God hath D. Johannes Pagetius {infra) of the English Church praecht the first sermon in that foresaide Church, and the text was. Create in me a claene hart, O God, psalm 51, verse 10." While the first ministers came from England, since the middle of the eighteenth century they have been called from the Church of Scotland. In 1709 a Second Charge was instituted, which con- tinued to 1863. Till a century ago there was also a special visitor of the sick, the Ziekentrooster, and Deaconesses were ap- pointed, with short intervals from 1665 to 1861. The Act of Uniformity in 1662 sent many English clergymen to Holland, who became identified with the congregation and were its most learned and zealous workers. An enlargement of the church took place in 1665 when many families sought refuge in Amsterdam after the Restoration of Charles II. In 1727 the building was practically reconstructed. It contains many beautiful memorials, and gifts, the brass desk on the pulpit with lion, monogram "W.M.R.R., Anno 1689," and lion's claw, together with two candle- sticks, having been presented by William of Orange and his Queen. The Tercentenary of the congregation was celebrated on 1st Feb. 1907, when the delegate from the Church of Scotland was James Robert Mitford Mitchell, D.D., then Moderator- Designate.] JOHN PAGET, M.A., was in 1598 rector of Nantwich, Cheshire, but ejected from his charge for Puritanism, took refuge in Holland ; accepted the Dutch Confession of Faith 18th Jan. 1605, and was app. chaplain to the English troops in the service of the States General, On 3rd Feb. 1607 he preached his first sermon in the church at Amsterdam ; adm. to the charge (by John Douglas, chaplain to a Scots regiment at Utrecht, assisted by three members of the Presb. of Amsterdam) 29th April following ; died 18th Aug. 1638.

CAMPVERE, OK VEERE. [Campvere was an important seaport of Holland in the island of Walcheren and was originally known as Kaniperveer, from the veer, or ferry for Kamper, on a neigh- bouring island. After the submersion of that island the name Kamper was dropped and the place is now known only as Veere. From as early as the year 1644, and for . upwards of three centuries and a half, there existed between Scotland and this ancient ' town (in 1928 a mere village with a popu- lation of 890) an almost uninterrupted : commercial intercourse. It was the Staple i Port for the whole of Scotland. The ' Scottish Staple was an organisation of i merchants of the Royal Burghs for the monopoly of foreign trade, with the Con- vention of Burghs as governing body. ; Business abroad was carried on by " factors " who disposed of the imported merchandise upon commission, returning 'to the owners the proceeds of the sale. Of the early ' church history of Campvere little is known. \ In a contract of 1541 it was stipulated that the Scots should have " the choice and option of a suitable place in the collegiate church, with a chaplain'so as it shall please the said nation." According to the Dutch chronicler, Ermerins, John Dawson held that position in 1552. There was, however, • no regular minister or church for the next \ sixty-two years, notwithstanding repeated \ recommendations by the Convention of i Burghs. In 1613 Andrew Ramsay {infra) [ declined appointment as minister, when • Alexander MacDuff {infra) accepted the charge. In 1642 the congregation became connected with the Presbytery of Edin- burgh, the first instance of any foreign congregation having a direct official com- munion with the Church of Scotland. In a letter to William Spang, Archibald Thomson, the Clerk of Assembly, wrote : "We conceave that your presence may be , bchoofful for that correspondence which ' our Church intendes, God wilHng, to keep with our brethren abroad." Commissioners were also invited to the Synod of Lothian and T weeddale, and to the General Assembly, ; but this was frequently omitted because of distance and expense. On 29th May 1644 , the Solemn League .and Covenant was ' signed by all the members. From 1792 to 1799 this kirk suffered greatly from the i Revolutionary troubles of the time, the antagonism of the civil authorities, and, during its last stages, from disharmony (on . political grounds) with the Classis of the j Dutc^h Church. The complete collapse of | CAMPVERE 541 trade and the hostility of the State com- bined to reduce the congregation to poverty. Finally, on 11th Oct. 1799 the Dutch Ke- public issued a decree by which the Staple Contract was annulled, the minister, James Likly {infra), preaching his farewell sermon on Sunday 24th Nov. The Records of the church, extant from 1630, are preserved in the Stadhuis at Veere. A set of four communion cups of Campvere Church (presented by the factors in 1620) were bought, as old silver, by Lord Egerton of Tatton from a firm of London jewellers, 23rd July 1875, and presented by him to Manchester Cathedral, where they still are. In 1894, Arthur Wellesley Frater {infra), minister at Middelburg and Flushing, ap- peared at the bar of the General Assembly in support of a commission in his favour from "the kirk-session of the remanent congregation of the Scotch Church at Camp- vere, presently worshipping in Middelburg." The Assembly refused to sustain the com- mission, but at a subsequent session, by a majority of two, resolved " that the Church of Campvere remain on the Roll of As- sembly."— See " The Church at Campvere," in Davidson and Gray's The Scottish Stafple at Veere, 270-336 (London, 1909) ; Dr Mair's Digest of Church Laws, 4th edition, 368-75 (Edinburgh, 1923); Steven's Histori/ of the Scottish Church, Rotterdam, 288-94 (Edin- burgh, 1835); and Bibliography appended to the present volume.] JOHN DAWSON, priest or chaplain to the Scottish merchants at Campvere in 1552. — [Davidson's Tlie Scottish Staple at Veere, 270.] [ANDREW RAMSAY, declined election in 1613 ; afterwards Professor of Divinity, Univ. of Edinburgh.] ALEXANDER MACDUFF, M.A. {cf.

On 11th Jan. 1738, the minister informed his session that George Robertson "some time ago tryed and sentenced to death by the Lords of Justiciary in Scotland for crimes libelled and proved against him, having escaped from justice and settled himself in this place, desired to have his child baptized, which extraordinary and straitening case he referred to the Consistory for advice." The Consistory unanimously found that " the said George Robertson being actually under sentence of death, could by no means be permitted to present his child to baptism, that being such a scandal as no church could purge, far less overlook. But that the child be not deprived of the privilege of baptism for the father's crimes, do allow Helen Purves, lawful wife, and mother of the child, to i)rcsent the same, and to take on the vows, they knowing nothing against her character and conduct." Rol)ertson's name further appears on 9th May 1757, when relief was given to him, being then in "great poverty.

[The Scottish Church at Rotterdam is one of the most interesting on the Conti- nent. It was founded on 13th Sept. 1643 with Alexander Petrie {infra) for its first minister, and, placed officially under the care of the Dutch Classis was accorded all the privileges of the Dutch Church, with full liberty to observe Scottish use and wont for worship. It v/as the central place 550 ROTTERDAM of worship for the Scottish Brigade, con- sisting of three regiments, raised in 1572 for service in the Netherlands under the Earl of Leicester, and left by him there when he returned to England. For over two centuries these regiments aided the States General in their wars with Spain and France. Thej' were always recruited from Scotland, and in 1688, as the earliest standing army in Europe, they formed the nucleus of William the Third's forces. The regimental chaplains were associated with the ministers of this congregation, and, until 1815, the church supported in Rotter- dam, the Scottish Poorhouse, on the Schotsche dijk (now Schiedamsche dijk), for the education of orphan children of soldiers, and as a means of dispensing charity to invalided pensioners. The first meeting-place was a house in the Wynstraat, granted by the magistrates. In 1662 the congregation had the use of the ancient chapel of St Sebastian (demolished in 1910) in the Lombardstraat. Here ordination services, forbidden at home, were held by the banished Presbyters during the days of the Covenant. Amongst others, Ptichard Cameron was set apart to the ministry by Brown of Wamphray {q.v.) and Robert MacWard {infra) who (with his hand still upon Cameron's head) is said to have uttered the prophecy, fulfilled within a year : " Here is the head of a faithful minister and servant of Jesus Christ, who shall lose the same for his IMaster's interest." Colonel Wallace, the leader of the Pentland Rising, was an elder for a considerable time, and Sir Robert Hamilton, leader at Bothwell Bridge, was a communicant. On 13th Dec 1695, there was laid the foundation of a new church, which was opened in Oct. 1697 by Robert Fleming the younger {infra). All the stone-work was brought from Pittenweem and Queensferry. In 1894 this building underwent a complete renovation. It contains many interesting memorials, and has some valuable com- munion plate. The ancient pulpit of St Sebastian's has been preserved.

SOUTH AFRICA [From 1652, when the earliest Dutch colonists landed at Table Bay, the Dutch; Reformed Church has been the leading Presbyterian denomination in South Africa. In 1806 Cape Colony came under British rule. Prior to that date there had been formed , at Cape Town the first Scottish Presbyterian congregation in the colony composed chiefly ; of men belonging to the Sutherland Fencibles raised in 1793 and enrolled as the 93rd' Regiment in 1800. Their minister was George Thorn, D.D. {infra) "who performed, divine service according to the ritual of the Church of Scotland." In 1821 Dr Thomj was commissioned by Lord Charles Henry Somerset, Governor of the Cape, to proceed toj Scotland for a supply of ministers and teachers connected with the Church of Scotland.! He secured twelve men [Andrew Murray, Alexander Smith, William Ritchie Thomson,] Henry Sutherland, Colin Fraser, George Morgan, ministers {infra), and, as teachers,, James Rose Innes (afterwards Superintendent-General of Education), William Robertson {infra), Archibald Brown, William Dawson, James Rattray, Robert Blair] whose careers, however, are rather with the history of the Dutch Reformed Church, which, in 1928,: comprised the vast majority of the white Presbyterian population in South Africa. i The first Presbytery in South Africa, apart from the Dutch Reformed Church, was; constituted in Kaffraria in 1824 by missionaries of different churches working under the| Glasgow Missionary Society, an independent organisation unconnected with any denomi-| nation in the homeland. In Dec. 1837 this Presbytery became divided on the Voluntary; Controversy, one section [Bennie, Laing, Ross] {infra) adhering to the Church of Scotland i the others [William Chalmers and Robert Niven] (originally of the Relief Church) taking! sides with the Secessionists. For some time thereafter they continued to meet as one Presbytery and never alluded to the points on which they differed. On 30th Aug. 1842^ the Presbytery of Kaffraria unanimously allied itself with the Free Church. In 1892 there was formed at Kimbcrley a Federal Council representative of variou.',' scattered congregations and small Presbyteries of English-speaking (as distinguished from, the taal, or Cape Dutch-speaking) Presbyterians throughout the colony, and on 17th Septj 1897 the Presbyterian Church of South Africa was constituted. In 1928 there wer(' 80 congregations, with over 13,000 members and 60,000 adherents.] ] Chalmers, D.D. ; educated at Univ. o)| St Andrews; licen. by Presb. of Cupar j ord.

INDIA [Alphabetical list of ordained Chaplains of the Church of Scotland on j the Indian Ecclesiastical Estal)lishnient, and in connection witli Colonial i Committee.] j INDIAN CHAPLAINS. [Previous to 1813 the Scottish population in India was dependent for religious minis- trations on the Anglican Establishment maintained by the East India Company. In 1813, when the Company sought a renewal of their Charter from the British Government, opportunity was taken to secure new concessions favourable to the progress of Christianity in the East. Of i these the most important was the free ■ permission granted to missionaries to labour in India "for the religious and moral im- ; provement of the people." But of more i immediate interest to the Church at that j period was the establishment by the East - India Company, for the benefit of their ; Scottish employees, of three Chaplaincies j of tlie Church of Scotland, one at each of { INDIAN CHAPLAINS 569 the Presidency towns of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. Dr James Bryce arrived in November 1814, as the first Chaplain, and proceeded to organise a congregation of his Scottish fellow - countrymen at Calcutta. In 1815 John Allan, M.D., D.D. {infra) was appointed to Madras, and James Clow {infra) to Bombay. In 1822 three additional chaplains were appointed, and the Presidency towns were constituted collegiate charges. In 1859 the number was increased to thirteen, as a result of numerous petitions representing the needs of Scotsmen in the Mofussil or rural dis- tricts of India. In 1928 the total number of ' chaplains serving with the Forces through- out India was eighteen. All these chaplains were in the service of the Government. Generally, seven were occupied in minister- ing to Scottish regiments ; seven were in charge of Scots congregations at important towns, while four were on furlough. To meet the needs of Presbyterian communities at other centres, seven chaplains were pro- vided by the Overseas Committee of the Church.] ALLAN, JOHN (nothing is known of his earlier career, except that he was a min. before graduation in medicine), M.D. (Glasgow 1808) ; app. by Court of Directors H.E.LC.

[On 12th Dec. 1917, when the news was announced of General Allenby's entry on the previous day into Jerusalem, Ninian Hill {infra) proposed in the Presbytery of Edinburgh that the event should be com- memorated by the erection of a Scottish Church in the Holy City. The Presbytery, on his motion, overtured the General Assembly of 1918, and in conjunction with the United Free Church, it was resolved, in 1919, to erect a Church and Hosjjice. The foundation-stone was laid by Field- Marshal Viscount Allenby on 7th May 1927.] HILL, NINIAN, born Greenock, 27th Nov. 1861, son of James Ramsay H. and Mary Jane Ramsay Grieve ; educated at Hawtrey's School, Slough, and Univs. of St Andrews, Geneva, and Edinburgh ; ord. an elder of the Church in 1914 ; licen. by Presb. of Edinburgh 1922; assistant at Grcenside and St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh ; ord. for service in the Scots Church, Jerusalem, 11th Feb. 1923; resident at Edinburgh in 1928.

In 1770 it was rediscovered by Captain James Cook, whose ship the Endeavour anchored at a place to which, from the variety of new and remarkable plants, he gave the name of Botany Bay, south of the modern city of Sydney. The entire eastern part of the country Cook took possession of for Great Britain under the designation of New South Wales. In 1788 colonisation commenced with a shipload of 850 convicts, accompanied by 257 soldiers, artisans, agricultural labourers, and others, over whom and the new Colony Captain Arthur Phillip was appointed Governor. In 1809 the first Presbyterian Church [Ebenezer Church, still extant] was erected on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, near Portland Head. Services were conducted for a long period by James Mein, a catechist. No minister was settled in the Colony until 1823, when John Dunmore Lang, D.D. {infra) became the pioneer of Australian Presbyterianism. In 1832 there was formed the Presbytery of New South Wales. In 1838 Dr Lang, displeased with an Act passed by his Presbytery during his absence in Scotland, severed his connection and along with a number of ministers who had just arrived from home, he instituted the Synod of New South Wales. In 1840 those two bodies reunited to form the Synod of Australia in connection with the Church of Scotland. But in 1842 Dr Lang again seceded and organised a second Synod of New South Wales on the principle of self-support and the withdrawal of all State aid to religion. In 1846 the Synod of Australia was again divided, over the question of the Scottish Secession of 1843. Of twenty-two ministers, sixteen adhered to the Church of Scotland, while six went out — three to form the Free Synod of Eastern Australia, one to found the Free Presbyterian Church of Australia Felix (afterwards Victoria), and two who stood aloof and declared for neutrality and entire independence. On 8th Sept. 1865, after a preliminary union between the Synod of Australia and the body represented by Dr Lang, a Union was eflfected between all the foregoing sections which brought into being the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales, followed by the establishment in 1867 of St Andrew's Presbyterian College for the training of ministers connected with the Colony, thus eliminating the necessity for supply from Scotland and Ireland upon which the earlier Church had been mainly dependent. Victoria. — The Church of Victoria originated as an outpost of the Church of New South Wales by settlers who had emigrated from that Colony to Port Phillip (afterwards Melbourne). James Clow (infra) was the first minister to hold services, in 1837, followed by James Forbes (infra) and others. On 7th June 1842, the Church of Scotland Presbytery of Melbourne was erected. In 1846, Forbes resigned his pastorate of the Scots Church, Melbourne, and set himself to organise the Free Presbyterian Church of Australia Felix, with a Synod constituted on 9th June 1847. On 18th Jan. 1850, a Synod of the United Presbyterian Church of Port Phillip came also into existence, brought 584 AUSTRALIA about mainly through the efforts of Andrew Mitchell "Ramsay, a Relief minister from Hawick, who had arrived in 1847. Between these three bodies (comprising in all fifty-five ministers) a union was consummated on 7th April 1859 as the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, the Port Phillip District having been created a separate Colony in 1851, and named Victoria in honour t)f the Queen. In Ormond College (named after its chief benefactor, Francis Ormond) the Church possesses a great Presbyterian institution for higher education, with a well-equipped Divinity Hall. This Church's Mission among the South Sea Islanders has been rendered famous by the apostolic labours of John George Paton, D.D., a native of Torthorwald, Dumfriesshire. Queensland.— Originally a part of New South Wales, containing the Moreton Bay penal settlement (1825-42), Queen.'^land became a separate Colony in 1859. Thomas Mowbray (infra) was the pioneer of Presbyterianism. On 12th Dec. 1849, he began services at Brisbane, where a church was opened in May 1851. Ministers of various denominations from Scotland and Ireland followed, and in 1866 the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland was organised, passing in 1869 into the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. South Australia. — The Colony of South Australia commenced in 1831 through the eflForts of the South Australian Company founded by George Fife Angus. In 1834 it became a Crown Colony. The first Presbyterian minister to be settled was Ralph Drummond from the United Associate Synod, who opened a church at Adelaide in 1839. The Church of Scotland came upon the field in 1841, when Robert Haining {infra) was settled in Adelaide. Chalmers Church, Adelaide, in connection with the Free Church, was begun in 1850 by John Gardner, formerly minister at Birkenhead (q.v.). A Presbytery of the Free Church was constituted in 1854, and the name assumed of the Free Presbyterian Church of South Australia. On 10th May 1865, a union of all the foregoing churches brought into operation the Presbyterian Church of South Australia. West Australia was founded under the name of the Swan River Settlement by a private Company in 1829. On the failure of the Company it became a Crown Colony and a penal settlement, but transportation ceased in 1868. Presbyterianism began with David Shearer, formerly minister at Gateshead, who opened St Andrew's Church, Perth, in 1878. In 1892 the Presbytery of West Australia was formed in connection with the Church of Victoria. Federal Union. — In 1886 the Churches of New South Wales and Victoria, of South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania entered into a Federal Union. In 1901, following the inauguration of its six States into the Commonwealth of Australia, the Federal Union became an Organised Union by the formation of the Presbyterian Church of Australia, with a General Assembly which meets every second year at Melbourne and Sydney alternately.] ADAM, JAMES, born Coupar-Angus, 1835, son of James A. and Margaret Paton ; educated at Univ. of Edinburgh ; M.A. (19th April 1856) ; licen. by Presb. of Edin- burgh in 1858 ; ord. by Presb. of Edinburgh that year ; arrived in New South Wales 5th March 1859 ; min. at Carcoar that year, at Penrith 1877 ; Moderator of General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales same year ; in Tutorial Institute at Sydney 1881, at Blayney (part of his original parish of Carcoar) 1885 ; res. 1900; died 7th July 1911.

Greatly influenced by the appeal of his brother George, who had emigrated to New South Wales, he ofi'ered himself for service there ; was ord. by Presb. of Irvine 30th Sept. 1822, and arrived 23rd May 1823, the first ordained Presbyterian min. to settle in Australia. He continued to be the ruling spirit in all movements of the Church throughout the early stages of its history ; made repeated journeys home, disseminating information on the new colony, engaging licentiates, teachei's, mechanics, and others, and obtaining Government grants in aid of his emigration schemes, whereby thousands of persons were enabled to leave for Australia ; D.D. (Glasgow, 2nd May 1825). , On 6th Nov. 1835 he assisted in constituting the first Presb. of Van Diemen's Land. On 11th Dec. 1837, having disagreed with his Presb. on the subject of settlement and i payment of ministers, he and others con- ' stituted themselves into a separate body — ; the Synod of New South Wales— but on 5th Oct. 1840, a reunion was eS"ected as " the Synod of Australia in connection with the Established Church of Scotland." In 1839 he advocated the annexation of New Zealand to the British Crown, on the ground that these islands had been in- cluded in the Commission of 1787 to Captain Arthur Phillip, and in Feb. 1840 they were so annexed. His frequent absences from his charge of the Scots Church, Sydney, led to complaint, when he was admonished by the Presb. Having declared his intention of adopting the Voluntary System of Church government he renounced connection with the Synod, was suspended from the exercise of the ministry 7th April 1842, and after- wards deposed, the Presb. of Irvine con- firming the sentence, without examining the case, or giving the accused an oppor- tunity of defence. An appeal to the General Assembly was dismissed, whereupon he instituted proceedings in the Court of Session, which decided that L. had a right to prosecute on the ground of an admitted grievance. The Assembly accord- ingly reversed its previous finding, and directed the Presb. of Irvine to rescind its decision, and reinstate L. as an ordained min. of the Church of Scotland. From July 1843 to 1846 he was a member of the Legislative Council for the District of Port Phillip. In 1846 he was in Britain for the sixth time, returning in 1850 with a considerable quota of ministers and students. On 3rd April 1850 he formed the Synod of New South Wales on the Voluntary basis. From 1851 to 1869 he sat in Parliament, in which he was a constant and successful advocate of reform ; Moderator of General Assembly, New South Wales, 1872; died at Sydney 8th August 1878, and was buried first in Devonshire Street Cemetery (now abolished) and after- wards at Rookwood. His statue was erected in Wynyard Square, Sydney. His intellectual powers, literary labours, in- domitable energy, self-sacrificing zeal, his prodigious efforts for the advancement of the spiritual and material interests of his adopted countiy, his moral courage and fearless denunciation of unrighteousness, his enlightened statesmanship, and high- toned character, have given him an imperishable name in the annals of the Southern Hemisphere.

TASMANIA [Tasmania was originally called Van Diemen's Land in honour of Anthony Van Diemen, Governor of Batavia, who fitted out the Dutch Expedition which led to its discovery by Abel Tasman in 1642. In 1803 it became a British Colony, used chiefly for penal purposes until 1852 when transportation ceased and the name Tasmania was adopted. Archibald MacArthur, a minister of the United Associate Presbytery of Edin- burgh, was the first Presbyterian minister to be settled at Hobart Town in 1823, where he continued for twelve years, during which period St Andrew's Church and manse were built. On 6th Nov. 1835 the Presbytery of Van Diemen's Land was established by ordinance of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, with John Dunmore Lang, D.D. (who went with authority from the Presbytery of Sydney) as first Moderator. John Lillie, D.D. {infra) the first Church of Scotland minister, arrived in 1837. In 1853 there was formed the Free Presbytery of Tasmania with only three congregations. In 1880 the Presbytery of Van Diemen's Land was divided into North and South, and a Synod of Tasmania formed by the two Presbyteries of Hobart and Launcestown. In 1896 a union was effected with the Free Presbytery, and in 1912 the Tasmanian Church linked herself with the Church of Victoria. In 1927 there were 32 congregations and over 1600 members.] ANDERSON, JOHN, came from Scotland with John Dunmore Lang, D.D., in 1831; settled at St Andrew's Church, Launceston, 16th June 1832.

NEW ZEALAND [The Colony of New Zealand was established by royal charter in 1840. Presbyterianism was long represented by two Churches — the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand extend- ing over North Island and the northern half of South Island, and the Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland, confined to the southern half of South Island. In 1840 over 150 emigrants landed at Port Nicholson, the southern point of North Island. Amongst NEW ZEALAND 603 them were many Presbyterians accompanied by John MacFarlan {infra) as their minister. He was thus the pioneer of Presbyterianism in this Colony. In 1856 there was formed at Auckland the first Presbytery of the Church, which, at the close of the century, had on its roll 8 Presbyteries, comprising 88 ministers, 156 congregations, and 8149 communicants. The Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland originated with the Free Church of Scotland whence most of its ministers were drawn. The first of these was Thomas Burns, D.D. {infra), formerly minister of Monkton, who arrived at Dunedin (then New Edinburgh) in March 1848 accompanied by 236 Free Church emigrants. In 1854 the first Presbytery of the Church of Otago was constituted with three ministers and two elders. By the end of the century these had increased to 78 ministers, 150 congregations, and 11,000 communicants. A union of the Churches of North and South, though actually achieved in 1861, was dissolved after a year, diflSculties having emerged over the incor- porating Articles. In 1901 this barrier was surmounted, and the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand was held at Dunedin. In 1927 the member- ship of the united church was over 50,000, with adherents numbering about 250,000, representing one-fourth of the population. Knox College, Dunedin, the seat of the Theological Faculty, was erected at a cost of £40,000.] BURNS, THOMAS, D.D., formerly min. of Monkton and Prestwick {cf.

CONTINENT OF AMERICA DOMINION OF CANADA [Ministers of the Church of Scotland from 1765 to the Union of the Churches in 1875, with some of later date.] MARITIME OR EASTERN PROVINCES CAPE BRETON. [The Island of Cape Breton has been a British possession since 1758, when, after a siege of forty-eight days, the fortified city of Louisburg (the Gibraltar of North America) surrendered to General Wolfe. Robert Macpherson [educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen, 1748-52, licentiate of Church of Scotland, and chaplain to the Fraser Highlanders] is believed to have been the first Scottish minister to conduct services in Cape Breton, in June 1758. In 1798, and again in 1818, .James M'Gregor, D.D., Secession minister at Pictou, made laborious missionary journeys throughout the Island. Immigration commenced in 1802, the first vessel arriving on 16th Aug. with 299 settlers mostly from the Western Highlands of Scotland. They had no minister for many years. The first resident Presbyterian minister was Norman M'Leod, a native of Stoer, Sutherland (licentiate of Presbytery of Genesee, U.S.A.) who settled at St Ann's Harbour, 20th May 1820, where he remained for upwards of thirty years. At the age of seventy he left for New Zealand with a ship-load of his followers. Donald Macdonald arrived in 1824 and itinerated for two years, afterwards re- moving to Prince Edward Island {(/.v.). Dugald M'Kichan {ivfra), first regular minister of the Church of Scotland, was settled at River Inhabitants for eight years. In 1828, Donald A. Fraser of Pictou, and John M'Lennan of Prince Edward Island {q.v.) proceeded on a missionary tour to Cape Breton, exploring and evan- gelising throughout every part of the Island. (See statement appended to Third Annual Report of the Glasgow Colonial Society, April 1829.) In 1830 there was formed the Edinburgh Ladies' Association " to help in sending missionaries, catechists, and teachers to the Island of Cape Breton." Alexander Farquharson (infra) arrived in 1833. His account of the condition of the people is almost without parallel in the annals of Colonial missionary endeavour. They had built six churches before his arrival and in the following year ten more were erected. These he divided into parishes over which he and three others [John Stewart, James Fraser, Peter M'Lean (infra)] were settled. In 1844 all the Cape Breton ministers joined the Free Church, yet at the census of 1851 it was found that over 5000 persons still adhered to the Church of Scotland. A Presbytery of Cape Breton in connection with the Church of Scotland was instituted in 1836. In 1844 it became a Presbytery of the Free Church of Nova Scotia. None of its early records have been preserved.] FARQUHARSON, ALEXANDER, born Strathardale, Perthshire, 29th May 1793, son of John F., farmer ; educated at UnivB. CAPE BRETON 607 of Glasgow and St Andrews ; app. by the Edinburgh Ladies' Association, with the sanction of Glasgow Colonial Society as a Gaelic-speaking licentiate of the Church of Scotland ; ord. by Presb. of New Brunswick, and arrived at Plaster Cove, Cape Breton, 11th Sept. 1833; itinerated throughout the whole of the island, and adm. min. at Middle River and Lake Ainslie 30th Nov. 1834 ; died 25th Jan. 1858. His tombstone says that " he was the first missionary sent directly to Cape Breton by the Church of Scotland, and the first Church of Scotland minister to spend his whole life here. He lived a life of eminent usefulness, self- sacrifice, and self-denial, and he finished his course with joy." He marr. Ann Mackenzie, and had issue — Alexander, min. of Free Church, Sydney, Cape Breton, born 16th June 1835, died 21st Oct. 1892 ; and others. — [Murray's Hist, of the Presby- terian Church in Cape Breton (portrait), 51, 232; Gregg's Hist, of Presbyterian Church in Canada, 340.] FRASER, JAMEsfborn Fodderty, Ross- shire, 1800 ; educated at King's College, Aberdeen, 1816-22, and at Univ. of Edin- burgh ; schoolmaster of Lochinver ; licen. by Presb. of Dornoch May 1835 ; ord.

[On 30th January 1833 there were five ministers of the Church of Scotland in the Province of New Brunswick. At that date they constituted themselves into the Presby- tery of New Brunswick. This continued to 12th June 1835 when, their numbersbeing doubled, it was erected into a Synod, divided into the two Presl^yteries of St John and Miramichi. On 17th March 1845 three (out of thirteen) members of Synod, who sympathised with the l^rce Church, organised the " Synod of New Brunswick adhering to the Standards of the Westminster Confes- sion." The remaining ten continued then- Synod until Ist July 1868, when they uiuted with the Synod of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the united Ijodies assunung the name of the " Synod of the Presbyterian Church of the ISIaritime Provinces of British North America in connection with the Church of Scotland." In 1845, the same year in which it was constituted, the Free Synod, \ because of the paucity of its members, re- j verted to a Presbytery, but in 1854, when i its members had increased, the Presbytery became again a Synod under the name of the Presbyterian Church of New Brunswick. On 2nd July 1866 a union was effected with the Synod of the Lower Provinces (formed on 4th Oct. 1860 by a union of the Synod of Nova Scotia with the Synod of the Free Church of Nova Scotia), and under that name it continued until 1875 when, with 131 ministers on its roll, it entered the general union of the Canadian Churches.] ANDERSON, JAMES, ord.

[The Province of Nova Scotia (then in- cluding New Brunswick), ceded by Louis XIV. of France to Queen Anne, became a permanent British possession in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht. New Brunswick was constituted a separate Province in 1784. In 1758 Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, which had remained in the hands of the French, passed under British rule, and were separate Provinces until 1820 when Cape Breton was conjoined with Nova Scotia. After 1713 British authority for a long period was exercised only with the greatest difficulty. The inhabitants of Nova Scotia, called Acadians, of French extraction and chiefly Roman Catholics, refused the Oath of Allegiance and were constantly in league with the native Indians and often in armed resistance to the British. To counteract this disaffection immigrants were brought from Britain and the Conti- nent of Europe, and the Hon. Edward Cornwallis (appointed Governor in 1749) was entrusted with the task of organising a British colony. He was founder of the city of Halifax. In 1755 a deportation of the Acadians became necessary. They were forcibly removed to the older English colonics of America, and from those older colonies settlers were invited to occupy the lands left vacant by the deportees. A large number of the newcomers were Presby- terians, and one of their first requests was for religious ordinances. James Lyon, from the Presbytery of New Brunswick, in New Jersey, laboured for a time in Halifax and elsewhere from 1764. Samuel Kinlocb, a licentiate of the Burgher Synod of Scot- land, arrived in 1766 but returned home in 1769. The first permanent minister, who may be considered the pioneer of Presbyterianism in Nova Scotia, was James Murdoch, a native of County Donegal, who fixed on Horton as a centre for his missionary labours. He met his death by drowning in the Musquodoboit River in 1799. The first CJhurch of Scotland minister in the Province was James Eraser, formerly chaplain to the 71st Regiment during the American War. He became pastor of a Scots congregation at NOVA SCOTIA 613 Shelburne, to the West of Halifax. In 1783, Thomas Russell {infra) became minister of the Protestant Dissenters' Church (after- wards St Matthew's) organised at Halifax in 1749. The first meeting of a Presbytery and the first ordination of a Presbyterian minister, in the Dominion of Canada, took place at Halifax on 3rd July 1770, when Messrs Lyon and Murdoch, with two Congregational ministers [Seccombe and Phelps] set apart an earnest and pious-minded Dutch fisher- man. Bruin Romcas Comingoe, to the oflBce of the ministry. He laboured at Lunenburg for fifty years and died in 1820 at the age of 96. In 1786 there was organised the Associate or Burgher Presbytery of Truro, and in 1795 the Anti-Burgher Presbytery of Pictou. On 3rd July 1817 a union was eflfected between those two Presbyteries, together with several ministers from the Church of Scotland, the united body assum- ing the name of the Synod of the Presby- terian [Secession] Church of Nova Scotia. On 30th Aug. 1833, with an increase in the number of ministers from the Church of Scotland, there was formed the Synod of Nova Scotia in connection with the Church of Scotland. In July 1844 this Synod re- pudiated all connection with the mother church, and took the name of the Synod of Nova Scotia adhering to the Westminster Standards, altered in 1848 to the Synod of the Free Church of Nova Scotia. On 4th Oct. 1860 these Synods— Secession and Free — united to form the Synod of the Presby- terian Church of the Lower Provinces of British North America, to which was joined, on 2nd July 1866, the Synod of New Bruns- wick [Free]. At the close of 1844 the Church of Scotland was represented in Nova Scotia by only two ministers. On 4th July 1854 a Synod in connection with the Church of Scotland was revived in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and retained a separate existence till 8th July 1868, when, by union with the kindred Synod of New Brunswick (1833) [see under that section] there came into operation the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of the Maritime Provinces of British North America in connection with the Church of Scotland. In 1875 both Synods entered the larger union of the Canadian Churches. The entire Presbytery of Pictou, however [A. W. Herdman, Pictou ; George CouU, New Glas- gow ; William Stewart, Maclennan's Moun- tain ; A. J. M'Kichan, Barney's River ; Charles Dunn, Stellarton and Westville ; William MacMillan, Salt Springs; J. W. Fraser, Roger's Hill and Cape John ; Robert M'Cunn, River John ; James M'Coll, Earltown], declined to unite, and retained their association with the Church of Scot- land. But one by one, at diflFerent times, the survivors of those ministers and their con- gregations passed into the united Church.] AITKEN, THOMAS, born Bo'ness, 1799, son of James A., merchant; educated at Univ. of Glasgow ; M.A. (1818) ; app. by Glasgow Colonial Society as rector of Halifax Academy, Nova Scotia, 1828, and to engage in missionary work.

(by Presb. of Abertarff) 2nd Aug. 1816 ; missionary at Glengarry, 1816-24; emigrated to Canada after 24th June 1824 ; was for two years a missionary in Cape Breton, where " with the zeal and heroism of an Xavier, he braved the wild beasts of the forest, the almost arctic severity of the climate, and, above all, the indifference and degradation of the people. His feet were covered with untanned moccasins. He walked on snow-shoes, and blazed his way through the.patliless forest with his hatchet. He had no home to shelter him, but was contented with the chance shelter of the rudest hut and with the coarsest fare. He carried no scrip, and he had no money in his purse, nor would he take any reward for his labours except the i)rin]itive hospitality of the people, who learned to love and honour him." In 1826 he went to Prince Edward Island, laboured there for more than forty years, itinerating from one settlement to another, and enduring all manner of hardness. Before his death he had erected thirteen churches, and had the spiritual oversight of over five thousand adherents distinguished for the exem]>lary character of their lives. He ordained elders in every district, united the ])eople of every j nationality, and brought his flock up in | the doctrines and usages of the Church of ' Scotland, though he himself was subject to (VrUcU^ /SKAaMpMU.^(tqSQ)^t<-^ PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 621 no Colonial Presbyteiy.

A stern Calvinist, he was a man of singular kindness of heart, and had a keen appreciation of the humorous ; died unmarr. 21st Feb. 1867, and was buried in the graveyard at Orwell Head, where a massive marble monument was erected.

[Ministers of the Church of Scotland in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec from 1765 to the Union of the Churches in 1875, with some of later date.] [The original Province of Quebec came into permanent possession of Great Britain on the capture of the city of Quebec by General Wolfe in 1759, and the surrender of Montreal to General Amherst in 1760. The European population then numbered about 70,000, almost all Roman Catholic. In 110 rural parishes there were only nine- teen Protestants. The first Presbyterian minister to be settled in the Province was George Henry {infra) who organised a con- gregation in Quebec about 1765, services being held in a room of the Jesuits' College. The first Presbyterian minister to be settled in Montreal was John Bethune (infra) who organised a congregation in 1786. In 1791 the Province was divided into the two Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada— now Quebec and Ontario. An American Pres- byterian preacher, Jabez Collver, organised a congregation in 1793 in the county of Nor- folk, where he settled on a tract of land of a thousand acres granted by the Government. Robert Dunn (infra) came in 1794, and John Ludwig Broeffle, a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, laboured amongst German Presbyterians in the counties of Stormont and Dundas from 1795 to his death in 1815. The first Presbytery of the Canadas was constituted at Montreal, 9th July 1818, by five ministers belonging to the Burgher Synod of Scotland, who unanimously decided that the basis of their recognition should be " the doctrines, discipline, and worship of the Church of Scotland." On 8th June 1831 there was organised at Kingston the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland. On 17th June following, the Presbytery of the Canadas, which had assumed the name of the United Presbytery of Upper Canada, was reconstituted as the United Synod of Upper Canada. On 3rd July 1840, these two Synods coalesced to form the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in con- nection with the Church of Scotland, with a membership of 76 ministers, of whom 60 were drawn from the Church of Scotland, and 16 from the United Synod of Upper Canada. On 25th Dec. 1834, there had been formed what was known as the Missionary Presbytery of the Canadas, a branch of the United Associate Secession Church in Scot- land, later transformed into a Synod, and in 1847, following the lead of the U.P. Church at home, it took the name of the United Presbyterian Church in Canada. In addition there were the small Presbytery of Stamford connected with the Associate Synod of North America, and the Presbytery of Niagara, unconnected with any Synod, whose mem- bers were drawn from the United States, and having 25 churches under its care in 1837. With the Scottish Secession of 1843 a similar Secession divided the Canadian Church into two. At a meeting of Synod on 9th July 1844, whilst a majority of 56 to 40 favoured the retention of the words "in connection with the Church of Scotland," 23 ministers declared for separa- tion and assumed the designation of the Synod of the Free Presbyterian Church of Canada. In Sept. 1844 the seceding ministers (now increased to 26) were declared to be "no longer ministers of the Presby- terian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, or of the Church of Scotland in Canada." There were now (not including Stamford) five distinct self- governing Presbyterian organisations in the Provinces. On 6th June 1860 a union was effected between the Presbyterian Church of Canada (1840) and the United Presbyterian Church of Canada (1847) under the title of the Canadian Presbyterian Church, having on its roll of members 226 ministers, of whom 68 had been ministers of the U.P. Synod and 138 ministers of the Free Presby- terian Church. In 1870 the Synod became a General Assembly. Negotiations for a wider union proceeded for the next five years, and on 15th June 1875 a union was consummated not only between the Presby- terian Church in Canada in connection with 624 ONTARIO AND QUEBEC the Church of Scotland and the Canada Presbyterian Church, but also between the Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces and the Presbyterian Church of the Maritime Provinces in connection with the Church of Scotland (q.v.). The Articles of Union were subscribed by Principal Snodgrass, ^Moderator of the Church of Scotland Synod ; Princii)al ^^'illiam Caven, Moderator of the Canadian l^resbyterian Church ; George Monro (afterwards Princijjal) Grant, ]Moderator of the Synod of the Maritime Provinces ; and Peter Gordon ]\l'Gregor, Moderator of the Synod of the Lower Provinces. John Cook, D.D. {infi-a), was elected first ]\Ioderator of the . reconstructed Presbyterian Church in Canada. On its roll were the names of 623 ministers, of whom 35 were from the Synod of the Maritime Provinces, 129 from the Synod of the Lower Provinces, 115 from the Canada Synod in connection with the Church of Scotland, and 344 from the Assembly of the Canada Presbyterian Church. Twenty-one ministers declined to enter the Union. Twelve of these held charges in Ontario and Quebec [Gavin Lang, ]\Iontreal ; Robert Dobie, Milton ; Robert Burnet, Hanrilton ; Thomas Mac- l)herson, Lancaster; David Watson, Thorah; William Simpson, Lachine, .John Macdonald, Beechridge; John Davidson, Williamsburg; Neil Brodie, Lochiel ; Peter Watson, Williamstown — all Church of Scotland {infra) with John Ross, Brucefield, and Lachlan Macpherson, Williams, of the Canada Presbyterian Church]. One by one, at different times, their successors and con- gregations joined the Church in Canada, and in 1908 St Andrew's Church, Montreal, and Lochiel in Glengarry, were the only two remaining out. St Andrew's finally Ijecame incorporated with St Paul's, Mon- treal, in 1918. On 16th June 1925, a still wider Union was effected between the Presbyterian Church of Canada and the Methodist and Congi'egational Churches, under the desig- nation of the United Church of Canada. Into this Union a considerable number of coiigi'egations declined to enter, and re- mained as the Continuing Presbyterian Church of Canada.] AITKEN, WILLIAM, born Silver Mine, Torphichen,Linlithgow,28thFeb.l834, eldest son of Robert A., farmer, and Anne Anderson- educated at Bathgate Academy and Uuiv. of Edinburgh ; app. by Colonial Committee to Cobourg in 1864 ; adm. to Vaughan 1st Nov. 1865; still in that charge in 1875- trans, to St James's, Newcastle, New Bruns- wick, 1880; died 13th Dec. 1913.

[In 1810 Thomas Douglas, fifth Earl of Selkirk, secured from the Hudson's Bay Company an immense tract of land, nearly the size of Great Britain, including the valleys of the Red River and the Assini- boine. He undertook to establish a Colony and assumed all the costs. After a long and tedious journey his company of settlers, consisting of seventy Highlanders mostly from Kildonan, Sutherland, reached the Red River in 1812. Much opposition followed from half-breeds and the rival North- West Company. Order was restored only on the arrival of Lord Selkirk himself in 1817. The name of the home parish in Scotland was given to the settlement and a minister of the Church of Scotland was promised. Donald Sage, afterwards minister of Resolis, was appointed, but delayed his departure for a year to perfect his knowledge of Gaelic. For some unexplained reason he never set out, and for nearly forty years the peo})le had no minister. Services were conducted by an elder, James Sutherland, who was given authority to solemnize marriages and dispense the sacraments. When he was forcibly removed by the North-West Company the people had no alternative but to accept the ministrations of the Church of England. In 1851, John Black [born Garwaldshiels, Eskdalemuir, 8th Jan. 1818, son of William B., farmer, and Margaret Halliday ; educated in U.S.A. and in Canada ; ord. 31st July 1851 ; D.D.

In 1870 the Presbytery of Manitoba was organised. It became a Synod in 1884. In 1871 a log building was opened as a college at Kildonan by George Brj'ce {infra). Thomas Hart, D.D. {infra), followed as Professor in 1872. In 1874, as a more suitable location, a building was erected on Ellice Avenue, Winnipeg, and was much enlarged in 1892.

He left for New Zealand in 1865. A church was erected in 1863, crowned with the Scottish thistle. It was destroyed by fire in 1883, and immediately replaced by the existing edifice. The second missionary was Robert Jamieson (infra), appointed by the Church in Canada in 1862. Daniel Duff laboured from 1864 to 1867, when he returned to Ontario. In 1863 the Church of Scotland sent out its first missionary, James Nimmo {infra). After him were Thomas Somerville and William Clyde {infra). The Presbytery of British Columbia was instituted on 1st Sept. 1875, when the Church of Scotland occupied all the chief centres of population, and seven churches were built. In 1886 the Presbytery of Columbia was founded by the Canadian Church, and in 1887 St Andrew's, Victoria, became connected with that denomination.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [American Presbyterianism owes its origin niainly to the Church of Scotland. On the persecution Avhich followed the return of the Stuarts in 1660, many Church of Scot- land ministers, with others from Ulster, forced from their homes, found new homes and new spheres of service beyond the Atlantic. From the Restoration to the Revolution a steady stream of emigration flowed westward. Settlements were effected in Carolina and Maryland, but the great majority were drawn to the Middle Colonies, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, where William Penn gave the Scottish element a specially hearty welcome. Churches were erected in various centres, the first being at Freehold, in New Jersey, in 1692. I'y the end of the century upwards of thirty congi'egations had been formed, one- half of which were in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. To Francis Makemie, born near Ramelton, in Ireland, a student of the University of Glasgow (1675-81) and licentiate of the Ulster Presbytery of Laggan, belongs the honour of being the official founder of the American Church. In 1683 he was sent by his Presbytery in charge of a company of colonists to Maryland. After itinerating here and there on preaching expeditions he settled in 1699 as minister of a congTegation at Snowhill, Maryland. In 1704 he went to London appealing for ministers and funds. Upon his return he took with him John Hampton and George MacNish (infra), both graduates of Glasgow. In 1706 these three united with four others— Nathaniel Taylor, a Scot (infra), and Jedediah Andrews ; John 662 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Wilson and Samuel Davis, missionaries in New England — in forming the Presbytery of Philadelphia, the first ecclesiastical court in the country, whose earliest recorded meeting %was for the ordination of John Boyd (infra) at Freehold, 29th Dec. that year. Eapid development followed that step. British Presbyterianism was tapped for men and money at its chief sources, and met with a generous response. In Scotland, the Synod of Glasgow took up the appeal, and, mainly through the exertions of Principal John Stirling, a large number of ministers— students of his own University of Glasgow — were recruited for the work. In 1710 the one Presbyteiy had become four, out of which grew the first American Synod of Philadelphia. In 1775, on the ^outbreak of the American Kevolution the Synod had increased to eleven Presbyteries and 132 ministers. In the War, largely guided by John Witherspoon (infra), almost the whole strength of Presbyterianism went to the Colonial side, an attachment which Ijrought complete consolidation to the Church and gave her a place in the hearts of Americans, which she has never lost. In 1789 sixteen Presbyteries met at Philadelphia, and forming the first General Assembly, settled its Constitution on the altered lines rendered necessary by the country's Independence. Scottish models were followed, and the Westminster Confession adopted, " all being conditioned by the declaration 'God alone is Lord of the conscience.'"

In 1823 the House of Assembly voted £500 yearly towards pay- ment of stipend. In 1870 the church was disestablished during the Governorship of Sir John Peter Grant of Rotbieniurchus.

[British Guiana has been a British pos- session since 1814, when it was ceded from the Dutch. In 1826 the counties of Demerara and Essequibo were divided into parishes, of which five — St Andrew's, St James's, St Luke's, St Mark's, and St Mary's, were allotted to the Church of Scotland. The Presbytery of British Guiana was established in 1831. In 1836 Berbice was also divided, four of its newly -formed parishes — All Saints', St Catherine's, St Clement's, and St Saviour's, being allotted to the Church of Scotland, and included within the Pres- bytery. In all three counties alternate parishes were allotted to the Church of England. In 1840, with acquiescence of the Colonial Committee, the Presbytery was divided into two — the Presbytery of Demei'ara and Essequibo, and the Presbytery of Berbice. But these were found to be too small, and without sufficient influence in the colony, and for administrative pur- poses proved a faihu-e. They maintained a precarious and stormy existence until about 1858-60, from which time they were not recognised by the local government as having control over the Church of Scotland in the colony, and Avere unable to exercise any BRITISH GUIANA 673 of the Presbytery's disciplinary functions. In 1869 a new Presbytery of British Guiana was constituted by the ministers and elders in ten parishes, upon the recommendation of the Colonial Committee, with a member- ship similar to the original Presbytery, and received Government recognition and establishment by Ordinance 3, of 1872, the Ordinance which, with amendments in 1904 and 1917, still governs the Presbytery. As now constituted the Presbytery consists of representatives from the parishes of St Andrew's, St Thomas's, All Saints', St Mark's, St Mary's, St James's, St Luke's, St Saviour's, St Clement's, and St Catherine's. In 1920, the two last mentioned were joined under one minister, but each continues to send a representative elder to Presbytery, which, therefore, includes nine ministers and ten elders. The Presbytery carries on Missions to Aboriginal Indians at Supenaam Creek and Saxacalli, on the Essequibo Kiver, and it provides and manages schools in all its parishes, the colony's educational system being denominational.] All Saints'.

BuExos Aires, etc. [British merchants established themselves at Buenos Aires in the early years of the nineteenth century. While their chief object was commerce, many of them invested in large tracts of land, and thus felt a lively concern in the pastoral and agricultural interests of the country. In 1825 the inde- pendence of the Argentine Republic was recognised by Great Britain. An agricultural colony, projected by John and Wilham Parish Robertson (natives of Kelso), brought out a number of settlers from various parts of Scotland to a place called Monte Grande, some fifteen miles from Buenos Aires, where they arrived on 8th August 1825, after seventy-eight days at sea. They soon took measures to obtain a minister and school- master. On the recommendation of Thomas Chalmers, D.D., William Brown {infra) was ordained by Presb. of Glasgow, and towards the end of 1826 proceeded to his destina- tion. But within three years the country was plunged in civil war, the colony collapsed, and its founders were involved in ruin. The first Presbyterian minister in Buenos Aires was a Mr Parvin, agent for the North American Bible Society. He set up a printing-press and opened a place of wor- ship, the Scots in his congregation predomi- nating. On 22nd Dec. 1828 the Scottish Presbyterians met with the view of securing the permanent services of a minister of the Church of Scotland. A coalition was arranged between them and the Monte Grande congregation, and on 15th i\[arch 1829, a temporary chapel was leased, with William Brown as minister. On 25th April 1835, St Andrew's, the first Scottish National Church in South America, was opened. This was demolished in 1893, and replaced by the present handsome edifice, opened lOtli April 1896. ARGENTINA 681 St John's Churcli, Quilmes, was opened on 18th Feb. 1855 ; St Andrew's Church, Chascoraus, built in 1857, was replaced by a new structure opened 10th Nov. 1872.

[David Trumbull, D.D., a graduate of Yale College and theological student at Princeton (who claimed descent from John Alden and the "Puritan maiden Priscilla" of Longfellow's Courtship of Miles Staiulish) landed on Christmas Day 1845 at Valparaiso, after a voyage from America of more than 130 days. He had offered himself to the Foreign Evangelical Society of the United States, and at their request had gone to conduct services in Spanish and English on board the ships in the Bay. In 1847, in response to an application from Scottish and English residents at Valparaiso to the New London County Association in the State of Connecticut, a congi-egation was organised on 5th Sept., fifteen persons being present. In 1855 a church was erected. Objections taken by the Pvomanist authorities that the establishment of such a congregation was an infringement of Article Five of the Constitution of the Republic of Chile led to the imprisonment of the builder, who was soon released. It became necessary, however, to hide the edifice behind a high barricade. In 1869 the present place of worship in Calle Condell was built, the Chilian Congress having declared in favour of religious liberty for all.] AITKEN, JAMES, M.A., 1894-6.

FOREIGN MISSIONARIES [Alphabetical List of Ordained Foreign Missionaries of the Church of Scotland from 1822 to 1928.] [A discussion in the General Assembly of 1796 on the subject of Foreign Missions concluded with a resolution, by fifty-nine votes to forty-five, that the time was unfavour- able^ for the General Assembly adopting any particular measure in regard to missionary work, but " that they will embrace with zeal and thankfulness any future opportunity of contributing by their exertions to the propagation of the Gospel of Christ which Providence may hereafter open." In that same year there were founded two Societies— the Scottish (later called the Edinburgh) Missionary Society, and a similar Society in Glasgow, both undenominational. Under the auspices of the first-mentioned, Peter Greig, from Donibristle, Inverkeithing, undertook a mission to Sierra Leone, where, shortly afterwai'ds, he was murdered by the natives of the Fulha country. The same Society commenced a mission (under Heniy Brunton) to the Tartar tribes at Karass, in the Caucasus. This mission was abandoned on account of interference from the Russian Government. India and Jamaica became their next fields. In 1835 those missions were transferred to the Church of Scotland, and the Society passed out of separate existence. The Glasgow Society confined its operations to KaS'raria, where a mission was established in 1821, the work eventually passing to the Free and United Presbyterian Churches. In 1822, Donald Mitchell {infra) was sent to India by the Scottish Missionary Society. In 1824 the General Assembly resolved to undertake Foreign Mission work as an integral part of the work of the Church. This decision was arrived at largely as the result of a commanding appeal from James Bryce, D.D., chaplain at Calcutta {cf. Vol. VI., 112). John Inglis, D.D., min. of Greyfriars, Edinburgh, was appointed Convener of the first Foreign Mission Committee, but it was not until five years afterwards that Alexander Duff {infra) was commissioned to India. India. — In 1837, a College, known as the General Assembly's Institution, was opened at Calcutta, and had a continuous record of success. Dr Duff joined the Free Church in 1843, liuilding a new Institution (after his death called Duff College) in connection with his denomination. On 1st June 1908, the whole of the work at Calcutta was amalgamated with that of the United Free Church, under the name of the Scottish Churches Mission. The separate Colleges of the two Churches became the Scottish Churches College, the largest missionary institution in India, with a normal staff of twelve Professors appointed equally by the two Churches. In 1835 a station was opened by John Wilson {infra) at Bombay, and continued until 1864, when it was considered advisable to transfer operations to Poona, in the same Presidency. In 1836 a Mission was founded by John Anderson {infra) at IMadras, With, a CoUege similar to that at Calcutta. In 1911 this also was conjoined with the Madras Christian College of the United Free Church. In 1900 a Mission was began at Arkonam, forty-two miles distant from Madras. In 1857, the year of the Indian Mutiny, there was inaugurated the Panjab Mission, under Thomas Hunter {infra), the largest of the Church's Missions in India, having nine principal Stations— Sialkot and District, Gujrat, Wazirabad, Daska, Youngsonabad, Jalalpur, and two in the Native States of Jammu and Chamba At Sialkot, the Murray College, opened 27th Oct. 1909 and named after Captain Murray, an old Panjab officer, is affiliated with the Panjab University. In 1870 the Eastern Himalayan Mission was founded, comprising, in 1928, k 686 FOREIGN MISSIONARIES three divisions, each -nith its Headquarters and many out-stations : (1) Darjeeling and Kurseong ; (2) Kalimpong and the Dooars, the special field of the Young ]\Ien's Guild and Woman's Guild of the Church of Scotland ; (3) the Scottish Universities ^Mission, with a Training College at Kalimpong and a ]\Iission in Independent Sikkim, mainly supported by the ]SIissionary Associations of the four Scottish Universities. In 1843, with the exception of one lady missionary, afterwards the wife of John Anderson, minister of Culter, Lanarkshire (r/. Vol. I., 247), all the missionaries of the Church of Scotland joined the Free Church. In 1903 there was formed the Presbyterian Church in India, uniting in one Church the converts of the majority of the Presbyterian Missions in that Dependency. Africa. — The Mission of the Church of Scotland in Africa was founded in 1876, in Nyasaland, as a memorial of David Livingstone. Its Headquarters are at Blantyre, with stations at Domasi, Mlanje, and Zomba, each with its European staff, besides fifteen District Churches or Parishes. In 1913, work was extended into Lomweland, Portuguese East Africa. In 1920 the Iringa Mission, Tanganyika Territory (formerly a German ^lission) was undertaken by the Church of Scotland. A Mission at Kikuyu, in Kenya Colony, founded (at Kibwezi) by the Imperial British East Africa Chartered Company, was transferred to the Church of Scotland in 1901 along with considerable tracts of land, and an Endowment Fund of £38,000. In 1909 a station was opened at Tumu-Tumu on the slopes of Mount Kenya. In 1926 a mission was opened at Chogoria, Kenya. China. — In 1878 mission work was begun by George Cockburn {infra) at Ichang, province of Hupeh, China, one thousand miles up the Yangtse from Shanghai. There is an Institution for the Training of Native Workers, and extensive medical work is carried on in a large and well-equipped hospital.] AITKEN, JAMES, app. missionary teacher at Poona, India, 1839, and arrived 6th April 1840.

DUFF, ALEXANDER, born Auchna- hyle, Moulin, Perthshire, 25th April 1806, but brought up at Balnakeilly (same parish), where his father was gardener; son of FOREIGN MISSIONARIES 691 James D. and Jean Kattray ; educated at Moulin and Kirkmichael Schools, Perth Academy (dux), and Univ. of St Andrews (where he was greatly influenced by the teaching, missionary fervour, and person- ality of Thomas Chalmers, then Professor of Moral Philosophy) ; M.A. (Honorary 1824); licen. by Presb. of St Andrews April 1829; ord.. (by Presb. of Edinburgh) 12th Aug. following as first (official) mission- ary of the Church of Scotland to India ; left Edinburgh on 19th Sept. and sailed 14th Oct. He was twice shipwrecked on his eight months' voyage, off Dassen Island, near the Cape, losing in the Lady Holland all his library to the number of over eight hundred volumes, his presentation Bible and Psalm Book alone being recovered [the latter is in the Mission Museum at 22 Queen Street, Edinburgh], and again in the Lady Moira, off Saugar Island at the mouth of the Hoogly. At Calcutta (arrived 27th May 1830) he announced his policy to afford, by means of the English language, education inseparably allied with the Christian faith as its animating spirit, believing that English was destined to become the chief medium of upper edu- cation in India. He espoused the ideal of a native ministry as the surest method of Christianising the vast heathen masses of that country. His school, opened 13th July 1830 with five young men, became an immediate success, attracting within a few weeks upwards of three hundred applicants with whom he removed to a commodious building. He received considerable en- couragement from Sir Charles Trevelyan, Foreign Under-Secretary, and from the Governor-General, Lord William Bentinck, by whose efforts a Minute of Council (7th March 1835) decided in favour of the promotion of European science and litera- ture through English alone. From 1834 to 1840 he was in Scotland, his health much broken by the climate and his ceaseless activities. He addressed the General Assembly in a three hours' speech of im- passioned eloquence and earnestness, and travelled up and down the country collect- ing funds, creating interest in missions generally and his own in particular ; D.D. (Marischal College, Aberdeen, 22nd Oct. 1835). In 1840 he returned to India. Joined the Free Church in 1843 ; declined Chair of Divinity, New College, 1846 ; elected Moderator of Free Church Assembly 22nd May 1851; visited U.S.A. in 1854, where he was received with such en- thusiasm as to call forth the statement : "No such man has visited us since the days of George Whitefield " ; LL.D. (New York 1854). 'That same year his evidence on the subject of education before Indian Committees of Parliament resulted in the famous Despatch of Lord Halifax to the Governor-General, in which Dufl''s early views were officially homologated. He was in India again from 1856 to 1863 ; con- demned the policy of the Government in the Mutiny, and was a chief instrument in establishing the Univ. of Calcutta in 1857. In 1864 he finally left India, his health having become so impaired as to necessitate a permanent change of occupation and scene. Numerous memorials were devised in his honour, amongst others the erection of a marble hall in the educational build- ings at Calcutta, the founding of four Duff Scholarships, the painting of his portrait, and the placing of a bust in one of the colleges. A gift of £11,000 from Scotsmen in India he handed over as a fund for invalided missionaries of the Free Church. On his homeward journey he visited South Africa and its mission stations, and on arrival in Edinburgh was app. Convener of the Free Church Foreign Mission Committee. He raised a sum of £10,000 for a Chair of Missions in the New College, and became its first occupant as Professor of Evangelistic Theology. He carried through the arrangements for the inauguration of the Free Church Mission in Nyasaland ; travelled in Syria, and collaborated in the establishment of the Gordon Memorial Mission, Natal [founded to commemorate the sixth Earl of Aber- deen, who was lost at sea, and his brother the Hon. James Henry Hamilton Gordon]. On 22nd May 1873 he was elected a second time Moderator of the Free Church, and was one of the inspirers of the Alliance of Pteformed Churches holding the 692 FOREIGN MISSIONARIES Presbyterian System; died at Sidmouth, Devonshire, 12th Feb. 1878 and buried in Grange Cemetery, Edinburgh. His personal property he left to found the Duff Missionary Lectureship. Portrait in New College, Edinburgh ; Memorial (Tona Cross with portrait bust) at Pitlochry Church.

To the work at Blantyre (begun in 1874) he gave all his remarkably eager powers as a missionary administrator, retrieving its disasters, and steadily up- rearing one of the most successful foreign missions of modern times.

In 1901 he became head of the ^lission at Kikuyu (founded and endowed in memory of Sir William Mackinnon and Alexander Livingstone Bruce, and gifted to the Church of Scotland).

One of the most industrious and indomitable of missionaries, he gave himself to the work with apostolic enthusi- asm and energy, scarcely ever halting during his long-extended career.

In 1832 he founded a more advanced institution, out of which grew the well-known College called by his name. He made considerable journeys throughout his own and other Presidencies, collecting manuscripts and amassing Oriental know- ledge. Apart from his purely missionary labours, his work of examining the antiquities of the cave temples, his deciphering of the hitherto unsolved rock inscriptions of Asoka, at Girnar, and, during the Mutiny, his expiscation of the rebels' cryptic correspondence, and a pil- grimage to Palestine in 1843, were principal incidents in his well-filled life.

JEWISH MISSIONARIES [Alphabetical List of Ordained Missionaries in connection with the Jewish Mission Scheme of the Church of Scotland from 1841 to 1928.] [In 1838 the General Assembly appointed a Committee to consider the subject of a Mission to the Jews, and a Deputation [George Keith, D.D., minister of St Cyrus ; Alexander Black, D.D., Professor of Divinity, Marischal College, Aberdeen ; Andrew Bonar, minister of CoUace ; Kobert Murray M'Cheyne, minister of St Peter's, Dundee, and Robert Wodrow, a Glasgow elder] was appointed to visit the chief Jewish communities on the Continent and in the East. Their Report led the Assembly of 1840 to adopt a Jewish Mission as one of the greater Schemes of the Church. As the members of the Deputation were travelling across the desert from Egypt to Palestine, Dr Black fell from his camel and was rendered unconscious. He recovered sufficiently to accompany his colleagues to Jerusalem and other places in Palestine. But the heat of summer and the roughness of the mode of travel obliged Drs Black and Keith to proceed homewards by the shortest route through Hungary, to the nearest Continental port. At Pesth, Dr Keith was seized with an illness so serious that his life was despaired of. Dr Black also was taken ill, and the hapless condition of the two Scottish strangers evoked sympathy in the city. Their situation became known to the Protestant Archduchess Marie Dorothea, whose husband was Viceroy of Hungary. She ministered to them personally, heard the story of their mission, and encouraged them to think of the Jews at Pesth, assuring them that should the Church of Scotland decide to plant a Mission there, she would aid them to the utmost of her power. Thus it was that the first Jewish Mission of the Church of Scotland had its origin in Hungary — at Pesth and Jassy, on 21st August 1841. In 1843 all the missionaries, four in numbei", joined the Free Church. Among them was the well-known " Rabbi " Duncan {infra). Many of their converts rose to positions of eminence and influence in the Church. Of these, AKred Edersheim, D.D. [author of The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, minister of the Free Church, Old Machar, of the English Presbyterian Church, Torquay, afterwards a clergyman in the Church of England, Select Preacher to the University of Oxford, Warburtonian Lecturer at Lincoln's Inn, and Lecturer on the Septuagint in the University of Cambridge, born 1823, died 1889], and Adolph Saphir [B.A. (Glasgow, 1854), D.D. (Edinburgh, 1878), minister of Belgrave Presbyterian Church, London, author of Christ and the Scriptures and other works, born 1831, died 1891] are the best known. Both were baptized (in April and on 9th May 1843 respectively) and admitted members of the Church of Scotland. Following the Secession of 1843, the Continental stations remained with the Free Church. Missionaries of German extraction and training were for a time employed by the Church of Scotland, work being carried on in India, Arabia, and Persia, by the Rev. Jacob Samuel, a Jewish convert, who had gone from Glasgow to Calcutta in 1830. Tunis, in North Africa ; Cochin, on the Malabar coast of India ; Karlsruhe, Darmstadt, Speyer, and Wiirzburg, in Germany, were occupied for longer or shorter periods, and in London a Mission was also in operation [see under Halkin Street, London]. After the Crimean War the Near East was definitely fixed upon as the most suitable sphere for the Committee's work, and between 1856 and 1864 the following stations were opened : Salonica and Smyrna (1856), Alexandria (1858), Constantinople (1859), and Beyrout (1864). The Com- mittee's agents were all home-trained men. From 1861 to 1867 an important and interesting 714 JEWISH MISSIONARIES work was carried on among the Falasha or Jews of Abyssinia. Its agents, ^lessrs Staiger and Brandeis, were thrown into i>rison with other Europeans, by the Emperor Theodore, but were rescued by the British Army. In 1882 medical mission-work was begun at (Smyrna under Levi Prinski Scott (IM.B., CM., Edinl)urgh 1880), a converted Jew. As all the stations, except Alexandria, lay within the Turkish Empire, missionary enterprise was abandoned during the Great War (1914-18). Two medical missionaries, Dr Sandler, Constantinople, and l^r Mackenzie Newton, Smyrna, died at their posts. Salonica and Beyrout were closed. In 1920 work was resumed at Smyrna and in 1921 the Church of Scotland with the United Free Church inaugurated a joint Mission at Galat<i, Constantinople. In Sept. 1922 the Kemalist Turks took possession of Smyrna, the city liccoming a scene of massacre and desolation, the Mission property being destroyed. In 1928 the stations of the Committee were three in number, Alexandria, Constantinople, and Jafia. In the preceding year the Jewish Medical Mission at Edinburgh was placed under control of the Church of Scotland. A ]\Iission to Jews is also carried on in Glasgow in co-operation with the United Free Church.] ALLAN, WILLIAM OWEN, l)orn Torthorwald, Dumfriesshire, 1812, third son of Thomas A. ; educated at Univ. of Glasgow ; ord. missionary at Budapest in 1842; transferred to Constantinople and Damascus ; became min. of the Danish Protestant congregation at St Thomas, West Indies, where he exercised much influence in the community ; was afterwards min. at Prague ; lived in retirement at Edinburgh, and died 8th Jan. 1885.
