EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Reverend Robert Smith Candlish (1806-1873), Scottish Churchman and Principal" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the solemn and reflective countenance of Reverend Robert Smith Candlish (1806-1873), a prominent Scottish churchman and Principal of the Free Church of Scotland. The image, taken around the year of his death in 1873, showcases Candlish's distinguished appearance with his neatly combed gray hair, bushy eyebrows, and piercing gaze. His attire, consisting of a dark robe and collar, further emphasizes his religious role. Born on March 21, 1806, in Leith, Scotland, Candlish was a key figure in the Disruption of 1843, a significant event in Scottish church history. This split from the Church of Scotland led to the formation of the Free Church of Scotland, with Candlish becoming one of its most influential leaders. He served as Principal from 1849 until his death in 1873. Candlish was renowned for his unwavering commitment to the principles of the Protestant Reformation and his dedication to spreading the Gospel. He was an eloquent preacher and a prolific writer, penning numerous theological works and hymns. His most famous hymn, "O God, Our Help in Ages Past," is still sung in churches around the world today. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout his career, including political turmoil and personal hardships, Candlish remained steadfast in his faith and his commitment to the Free Church. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring legacy as a Scottish churchman and a leader who left a lasting impact on the religious landscape of his country.
