This same passion for conten- tion seems to have been in the blood of an otherwise modest old soul, knows in the vilinge of Burnkrange ak Pie dock. He and another old warthy were having a somewhat heated discussion on The Scriptores.

It was pointed out lo our old friend that Saint Paul had, at one time or another, said such and such a thing.

"Ah, weel," said the old man, "maybe so, but that's jist whnur Paul an' me differ."

It has been said that these old wags and humourists were a pri- vileged class. They were also un- restricted. Even ministers, in those days; refused to smother their wit under the stifling cloak of respectability. What minister, nowadays, even if he possessed the natural wit, would dare to use it as an old parish minister of Barngrange was wont to do?

"Tam." he once remarked to his old precentor, "ye've been singin' awfu

"Are." said Tam. "I've got a kind of kittlin' in my chest."
