'Weel, says I, 'I dinna care what they ca' them; but gin ever I jine ony kirk, that s' be the kirk. Sae, efter that, whan ance I had gotten a sure houp, a rael grun' for believin' that I was ane o' the called and chosen, I jist jined mysel' to them that sud be like them�-for they ca'd them a' Missionars." "Is that lang sin syne?" "Ay, it's twenty year noo." "I thocht as muckle.
A month or two before this time, the Missionars had made choice of a very able man for their pastor a man of genuine and strong religious feeling, who did not allow his theology to interfere with the teaching given him by God's Spirit more than he could help, and who, if he had been capable of making a party at all, would have made it with the poor against the rich.
But being short-sighted and inquisitive, he set off after Truffey as fast as the dignity proper to an elderly weaver and a deacon of the missionars would permit. As Alec came near the mill he saw two men standing together on the verge of the brown torrent which separated them from it.

I ken that weel. Is he come back, do ye think?" "What do ye mean? He's lyin' in's bed, quaiet eneuch, puir fallow!" "Is he come back to the fold?" "Nae to the missionars, I'm thinkin'." "Dinna anger me. Ye're nae sae ignorant as ye wad pass for. Ye ken weel eneuch what I mean.
These Independents went commonly by the name of Missionars in all that district; a name arising apparently from the fact that they were the first in the neighbourhood to advocate the sending of missionaries to the heathen. The epithet was, however, always used with a considerable admixture of contempt.
