ACTS, PROCEEDINGS, AND DEBATES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. Edinburgh: Book Depot of the Church of Scotland, 121 George Street. Price, 2s.
This admirably edited volume contains a vast amount of information and gives an insight into the actings and procedure of the Church of Scotland in its supreme court. One would think with its great array of officials with their long experience—clerks, procurators, legal advisers and committees that the pro-
cedure would move on oiled wheels. To those who are of that opinion a study of this volume might act as a healthy corrective. Two pages are devoted to the decision of the Committee on Admission of Ministers in connection with a petition from Rev. Roderick Macinnes to be received into the Church of Scotland. Owing to bungling on the part of the Committee the aid of the Procurator was invoked. The Procurator decided that the Committee erred in granting the certificate. The Assembly decided to recall the certificate. The full report of the discussion on the subject will be found at p. 396 of the above.
