the Kirk Of Scotland.
On Sunday, Sept. 10th, the Archbishop
of York conducted the service In the parish
Kirk of Glengarry. A letter to the Lon
don Daily Tslegroph, dated from Glengarry.
gives tho following account Of the pro-
ceedings:
The occasion was the afternoon service
that Of the forenoon having been conduct
ed in Gaelic by the resident l,resbyte terrain
minister, Mr.. Cameron. 1t was known that
the Archbishop WAS to preach, and the ht,
tie church was filled. His Grace entered
the pulpit dressed in his ordinary ma. non

Liturey which does exist in Scotland
"Let us begin the worship OF God ~
singing to His praise the dundreotn

the words All people that on eartn co
dwell.n Next came the usual prayer which |
it is the custom of the Scottish clergy TO
repeat az If it were called forth BY the In

ton of pious fervor. DR.. Thomson, how
ever, was unequal to the accomplishment
of that highest feat of Scottish Invocation.
He used the words Of the English Prayer
book. He so strung one prayer to announcer
as to fern a whole, and he cast the Litany
into q continuous invocation by placing
the words "Deliver US before each set Oh

while tile Archbishop repeated tue WORDS
"Deliyer us from all blindness OF heart,
from from envy IVY hatred, and malice, and all IN
charitableness." "Deliver us from all sedi-
ton, privy conspiracy, and rebellion, from

hardness of heart, and contempt OF my
word and commandment" His Grace Wig
orously tried to repeat the words without
looking at the book. He strenuousiy en-
ters at their work. But his memory failed
to carry him completely through the task
Of repetition, and now and again he was
forced to cast furtive glances at the printed
page. Next, in Presby terrain fashion, he reau

fact was unknown to the Presbyterian
worshipers. Perhaps the Archbishop
wished to give a ally hint that the English
and the Scotch services were linked to-
