Theological conflicts, heresy-hunts and the like... have got into the very life of Scotsmen The subjieties are far beyond the Southern intellect although they are commonplaces in every Scottish labourer's cottage. The controversies which had been going on for generations, and even for centuries, which had divided Scotland had their uses. They had hammered the Scottish intellect into that very fine steel which was so fine that it was able to dissect thought into such thin films of doctrine that an untrained Southern could not even see them,—and at the same time were so real that no one could even see through them.—Lloyd George.
Though by birth the Scot is a passionate patriot and by profession a passionate pilgrim he is most unique amongst other men in the fact that wherever he goes he carries with him an unwavering devotion to his national institutions. He may be an acute merchant devotedly attached to transactions of profit, a slave to his ledger and what it represents, but he cannot live without an oceasional touch of theology, a stave of the old rugged Psalms, and the
lection from his neighbours.—Rev. opportunity of sag! Op a _col-Dr. Lachlan Maclean Watt.
