I ga'e them a bit screed on the watter question on Setarday nicht that garred them a' gape; an' Dauvit Kenawee said there an' then that I shud see an' get a haud o' the Ward Committee an' get a chance o' pettin' my views afore them. They a' said I was a born spowter, an' that wi' a little practice I cud speechify the half o' the Cooncil oot at the door."
I settled the minister fine the last word I spoke to him. He came to see me; an' he thocht he could wheedle me aboot the organ i' the hoose o' God. "'Div ye no' ken, he says to me, 'aboot Dauvit, the sweet singer o' Israel how he played a' kinds o' instruments i' the Lord's hoose? He thocht he had me. But I gied him as guid as he brocht. What think ye I answered him?"
No' that I would preen my faith to that clink neither; but it's bonny, and easier to mind. 'Who go to sea in ships, they hae't again and in Great waters trading be, Within the deep these men God's works And His great wonders see. Weel, it's easy sayin' sae. Maybe Dauvit wasna very weel acquaint wi' the sea.
While this resolution was being recorded, Archie was still indulging in smothered protests, the dying voice of the thunder-storm; and as the session dispersed he was heard to say, "Committee or no committee, as lang as I'm in the kirk they'll sing the psalms o' Dauvit an' the tunes o' Dauvit tae." The next evening I informed Angus of the session's action, and told him the names of the committee.
