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.

A Programme of Recollections
Arranged and presented by GEORGE CAMPBELL with ETHEL McLEAN (soprano)
ALBERT DEWAR (tenor)
GEORGE CUNNINGHAM (baritone)
George Campbell , who gives his recollections this evening, is one of the most popular members of the Scottish music trade. Starting life in a piano shop with the weekly wage of half a crown, he worked from eight in the morning until nine at night. But Mr. Campbell, even in his most strenuous days, was not merely a seller of music and musical instruments. He had a deep and absorbing love for music itself. He has been chorister, bell-ringer, vocalist, organist, and conductor, and was Chairman of the Production and Music Committee of the famous Craigmillar Pageant in 1928, when he had the honour of being presented to the King and Queen. He is past President of the Edinburgh Society of Musicians and has also had a long connection with the Edinburgh Opera Company.
