BRAID SCOTS SERVICE.
The church service in Scotland half a century and more ago appears to us nowadays as austere and solemn in its rigid simplicity—no musical, instruments ; no hymns; no choir. The speacher announces the opening Psalm; the congregation, sober in dress, serious of countenace, slowly rise; the precentor, facing them and getting tile key by striking his tuning fork, solemnly beats time. It was grandly reverent in its simplicity. Such is tile kind of service Rev. T. W. Armour is conducting in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Sunday night. Mr Armour, who hails from Glasgow and prior to being called to Knox Presbyterian Church, Christchurch, ten years ago, occupied a charge in Inverness, has on several occasions conducted this Braid Scots service with marked appreciation by extraordinarily largo congregations. Two weeks ago, lie broadcast one°from his Christchurch pulpit, the text being, “The Bickers Fu an ‘Skailin’.” The title of Mr Armour's subject on Sunday night will be “The Wearin’ o’ Fino Leevin’,” based on Revelation xix, 8.
