Proceedings of the Sixth General Council of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches Holding the Presbyterian System: Held at Glasgow, 1896 (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Proceedings of the Sixth General Council of the Alliance of the Reformed Churches Holding the Presbyterian System: Held at Glasgow, 1896 The Sixth General Council has already passed into history, but those who were present at its meetings will not soon forget them. The importance of Glasgow, as the second city of the British Empire, rests on the extent and variety of its manufacturing inte rests, foremost amongst which is, of course, its famous shipbuilding trade. Four men may be mentioned as not unfairly representing its people. The shrewd and practical professor in its University, Thomas Reid, father of the Scottish or common-sense philo sophy the student of international interests, Adam Smith, also a professor in the College, and author of the Wealth of Nations another professor in the same honoured institution, the brilliant scientist Lord Kelvin, who has bridled the lightning, making it do service to man, as Watt his townsman did with steam a century ago, - these, along with Thomas Chalmers, the great preacher and evangelistic philanthropist, are types of the men that Glasgow has produced, or whom it delights to honour. In every form of Christian activity, Glasgow has been always abundant. Of its Christian congregations, no fewer than 274, with some of its church-going people, are connected with the Presbyterian Church. It is thus pre-eminently a Presbyterian city, with a larger population of. Presbyterians than has any other city in the world.
