Sabbath Freedom vs Scottish Clergy in Free Church Debate
In Glasgow a Free Church Presbytery meeting sees Professor Gibson condemn press critics as opposing divine commands. Dr Buchanan pushes back, arguing the press rightly probes religion while clergy must accept public inquiry and reform Sabbath limits, urging practical Sunday trains and rejecting Scotch Sabbath strictness. The piece ends with a call for liberty from ecclesiastical restraint and a warning that national faith must adapt.
