EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1890s: A Heartfelt Exchange between Minister and Scot in an Old Scottish Church In this evocative photograph, a stern-looking Minister is seen questioning a Scotsman, Sandy, about his absence from church services. The Minister, dressed in traditional clerical attire, with a serious expression, asks, "Hoo is t, Sandy, I never see you at the Kirk, the noo?" The question is met with a casual response from Sandy, who is dressed in tartan attire, with a cap in hand, "I canna stand your long sermons." The Minister, undeterred, delivers a stern rebuke, "Ah, weel! Ye ll be goin to a place where ther ll be no sermons at all, neither lang nor short." Sandy, with a hint of humor, retorts, "It ll nay be for the want o Meenisters, then!" This exchange between the Minister and Sandy highlights the importance of religious observance and the lengthy sermons that were a common feature of traditional Scottish churches during the 1890s. The photograph captures the honesty and straightforwardness of the Scotsman's answer, as well as the Minister's righteousness and importance in the community. The photograph also showcases the historical significance of the Kirk, a traditional Scottish term for a church, and the importance of religious practices and beliefs in Scottish culture. The use of tartan attire and the stereotypical Scottish cap add to the authenticity of the scene, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Despite the stern tone of the exchange, the photograph also conveys a sense of warmth and humanity, as the two men engage in a friendly banter, highlighting the importance of open communication and honesty in any community, be it religious or otherwise.
