Chairman and Gentlemen, there is no doubt that there is vurry little left to be said on any subject whatuffer. I feel vurry much like the meenister who went into the pulpit with his sermon. He had not looked at it since he had put it away the night before, and the mice had got at it and had eaten all the firstly, the secondly and the thirdly, and there was vurry little left vurry little left, Mr.
It was in the middle of this compendious petition, 'the lang prayer, that rheumatic old Scottish dames used to make a practice of 'cheengin' the fit, as they stood devoutly through it. "When the meenister comes to the 'ingetherin' o' the Gentiles, I ken weel it's time to cheenge legs, for then the prayer is jist half dune," said a good sermon-taster of Fife.
Man, Duncan, the Scripter described them weel. They're jist naething but the cracklin' o' thorns under a pot, aye, an' yon foolish bit crater that an ill fate has gie'n us for a meenister is the lightest o' them a'. May the Lord forgie the man that disgraced Maister Cameron's pulpit an' Maister McAlpine's name!"
'The meenister, replied Miss Tod, who for some mysterious reason always guessed the reverend gentleman, who happened to be a customer. 'On the contrary, said Christina. 'Wullie Thomson, said Macgregor, suddenly remembering the borrowed threepence. 'Up dux! Ye deserve a sweetie. She presented the bag, open. 'What sort are they? He laughed and answered 'War Loan Lozengers.
"If they didna' have a meenister in thae times, to show them the way o' salvation, they didna hae a bit worldling to lead them astray." "Oh, it may be better than we will be thinking; the young folk now are always at the church, Andra, and at the prayer meeting." "Hooch! an' they might jist as well be awa' for a' the good they get.
This vanity of his was fed by a peculiar vanity of some Scots peasants, who like to discuss Divinity Halls, and so on, because to talk of these things shows that they too are intelligent men, and know the awful intellectual ordeal required of a "Meenister."
Traill felt the sting of it. "Ay, the caretaker has been his gude friend, but Mr. Brown is ill of rheumatism, and can no' come out. Nae doubt, if necessary, his deposeetion could be tak'n. Permission for the bit dog to live in the kirkyard was given by the meenister of Greyfriars auld kirk, but Doctor Lee is in failing health and has gone to the south of France.
Noiselessly I descended the stairs, let myself out by a low side window in the cellar, and made straight for the lodging of 'the Meenister. I dared not rouse the porter of the Nether Bow Port, but climbed the wall beyond even as Bothwell had done after the explosion at Kirk o' Field, and made my way down the Canongate. Minister Geddes was within, and fortunately had not yet gone to bed.
There's a pack o' godless young folk in the Glen that naething but the terrors o' damnation'll iver reach an' they listen to a meenister who says 'peace, peace' when there's nae peace!" "Oh, well, indeed, indeed," Duncan Polite's gentle voice again stemmed the torrent "we must jist be praying for an awakening, Andra, like our fathers would be doing.
'I'm late, as ye said, I added, rising, 'I must be off to my work at the booth. 'Ay, ay, returned my uncle, 'wark's aye best in an evil day. As soon as my work was finished for the day I hastened to call upon 'the Meenister, and, finding him at home, at once informed him of my discovery of the night, and of my uncle's satirical mention of poor Mr. Macalister's fate.
