The spirit of the Lord came upon John Bairdieson, and, rejoicing that a foe withstood him, he dealt a buffet so sore and mighty that the seller of coal, whose voice could rise like the grunting of a sea beast to the highest windows of the New Exchange Buildings, dropped as an ox drops when it is felled. And John Bairdieson ran on, crying out: "There's nae kirk o' God in puir Scotland ony mair!"
John Bairdieson went on, standing with his hat in his hand, and the hairs of his head erect with the excitement of unflinching justice. "I see it clear. Ye are no minister o' this kirk. Mr. Welsh is no minister o' the Dullarg.
If not, then let us proceed to set apairt and ordain Gilbert Peden and Allan Welsh." But before any progress could be made, Allan Welsh rose. John Bairdieson had been afraid of this. "The less that's said, the better," he said hastily, "an' it's gottin' near kirk-time. We maun get it a' by or then." "This only I have to say," said Allan Welsh, "I recognize the justice of my deposition.
Gang yer ways, but gin ye hae message or word for Jock, juist come cannily oot, an' he'll be here till dark the morn." "The Lord save us, Maister Ralph, what's this?" said John Bairdieson, opening the door of the stair in James's Court. It was a narrow hall that it gave access to, more like a passage than a hall. "Hoo hae ye come?
Then, as with one voice, the two men pronounced against each other the solemn sentence of deposition and deprivation: "In the name of God, and by virtue of the law of the Marrow Kirk, I solemnly depose you from the office of the ministry." John Bairdieson burst in the door, leaving the lock hanging awry with the despairing force of his charge.
But then, what could Bell's Wynd expect to harbour such? It was yet early dawn when John Bairdieson, kirk officer to the little company of the faithful to assemble there later in the day, went up the steps and opened the great door with his key. He went all round the church with his hat on.
In his official capacity the officer of the court promptly removed John Bairdieson, who went most unwillingly. The matter of the examination of probationers comes up immediately after the reading of the minutes in well-regulated church courts, being most important and vital. "The clerk will now call for the report upon the life and conduct of the student under trials," said the moderator.
