Conducted by the Rev. W. ARNOLD
REID, St. Mary's Church, Selkirk
Mr. Arnold Reid, who came from Whithorn to Selkirk to succeed the Rev. George Lawson , as minister, of St. Mary's, takes a very active interest in the general affairs of the Royal Burgh.
It is appropriate that a Selkirk minister should take the Mid-Week Service this week as the people of Selkirk will be celebrating next day their annual Common-Riding and, what is more important, the Quater-Centenary of their charter. This year is also the centenary of the death of James Hogg , the ' Ettrick Shepherd,' who had a number of associations with the Forest Burgh.
