Excerpt: ... chapter xviii contributions to literature A well-known firm of Edinburgh publishers,1 in issuing, -- before the Assembly of 1893, a list of books written by ministers of the Free Church, quoted The Methodist Times as saying that "the Free Church is the most theological and literary Church in the world." It would be presumptuous in the Free Church to accept so generous a testimony as literally true, but we may at least claim for it that its intellectual activity has never been inconsiderable, and that it has no great cause to be ashamed of its contributions to literature. In proposing to deal with this subject, our first idea was simply to give a list of books known to have been published by Free Churchmen, but it was easy to see that such a catalogue could never be made interesting reading, and we have accordingly come to the conclusion to try a plan of classification. A plan like this, however, has its own difficulties. It is not always clear where books should be placed, and it is more than probable that some will be found under headings to which they do not properly belong. It is also more than likely that publications will be overlooked which ought to have been mentioned. Care has been taken to prevent this mistake; but, in case of any misunder1 Messrs. T. & T. Clark. standing, we must at the outset explain that no endeavour has been made to give the titles of the innumerable sermons and pamphlets which from time to time have been issued to the world, and that we do not undertake to give the names of all the works of the different authors. There is another preliminary explanation which is necessary. In the following lists it has seemed to be impossible to confine the writers to those who are at this moment, or who continued all their...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Free Church of Scotland: Her Origin, Founders and Testimony The Free Church, while standing firm to the main body of Catholic doctrine, has reawakened to the idea, not unfamiliar to Knox and Calvin, that theological formularies require perennial revision, and has not scrupled to let a ray of nineteenth century light fall upon the venerable standards of Westminster. In preparing the first edition of the present volume, which was done with great haste, I had no opportunity to touch upon this phase of Free Church history, which, in the course of half a century, has naturally become important. It was, however, my happy fate to be present, something less than twenty years after the Disruption, on one of those occasions when the spirit of the new and the Spirit of the old first looked upon each other in the General Assembly of the Free Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Subordinate Standards: And Other Authoritative Documents of the Free Church of Scotland In 1869 the two bodies claiming the name and rights of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, and which separated in 1837, were reunited on the doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis of our common Standards.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Trail of the Pioneers: A Sketch of the Missions of the United Free Church of Scotland The history of missions throbs with romance on every page, a fact which seems hardly yet to have dawned upon the general reader, and least of all upon that large section of readers who love romance. Missionary reports are, of necessity, dull and, to a great degree, unintelligible to all but the initiated. They plunge in medias res, and bear down the hapless reader with a cavalry charge of unfamiliar names; while, as they deal only with the work itself apart from its environment, they leave the "native" a vague and misty figure, devoid of nationality and human interest. Only when each mission stands out clear, against its own background of place and people, does it become living and begin to take on the colours of romance. The following pages are intended as a sketch of the missions of the United Free Church of Scotland for the uninitiated, and especially for the youth of the Church. One would even hope that the fastidious ear of the "young barbarian" might be caught, and he be led to the discovery and enjoyment of the great missionary classics. The chapters were first delivered as a series of addresses to the young, under the form of a voyage round the world to the various mission fields of the Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Earnest Appeal to the Free Church of Scotland on the Subjects of Its Economics The Board of Publication believe that they are performing an important service for the Presbyterian Church in re-publishing this pamphlet. The topics Dr. Chalmers here discusses with his characteristic ability and energy, are, mutatis mutandis, of no less moment to our Church than they are to the Free Church of Scotland. This will be sufficiently evident to every candid reader of the able and interesting Introduction prefixed to the present edition. A copy of the pamphlet will be sent, through the liberality of a friend, to each of the ministers in our connexion. The Board are unwilling to believe that such seed is to be scattered through the Church in vain. They are convinced that the subjects here presented, demand the most serious attention of our ministers and people, and that they should be discussed until some measures shall he devised and adopted at once to augment the liberality, zeal, and efficiency of our Church, and to promote the comfort and usefulness of her ministers. The management of the Economics of the Church is vested in its Judicatories. With their functions this Board has no wish to interfere.

This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland From the Restoration to the Revolution, Vol. 4 of 4 The nature of persecution is progressive and growing, and it can scarce be otherwise; one sin is a native inlet unto another, and the wicked wax worse and worse. Malice, envy, and enmity, against religion and its followers, are insatiable; and the Lord in the depth of his righteous judgment, suffers sinners to harden themselves, and go on from evil to worse, till their cup fill. Success in sin emboldeneth the actors, and thirst after blood, like a fever, still increases till a crisis happen. Accordingly, the reader will find a cruel oppressive spirit mightily upon the increase in Scotland, this year: the work is turning easy, hardships upon Presbyterians ordinary, and the trade is gainful to not a few. Towards the end of the year, a vast many gentlemen, formerly out of their reach, were attacked, and the prospect of having a share of swinging fines, as good, if not better, as forfeitures, made the sentences go glibly on. Some of the best of the nation were attacked, and the duke of York had every thing going in Scotland, according to his wish. We have this year a new scene of blood, and public executions were frequent; and, during this summer, murders in cold blood in the fields are beginning, and we shall meet with great numbers of them next year. The universal pressing of the test, was a noble handle for persecution. Fines and banishments are most frequent. The garrisons and lesser courts, by citations and searches, harass the country; and the larger circuits bring persons of better quality to a great deal of trouble. Great numbers of gentlemen of note and rank, are most exorbitantly fined, to the value of their real estates; and this year is shut up with the martyrdom of that excellent and extraordinary person the laird of Jerviswood.
