Excerpt from Love, Law, and Theology, or the Outs and Ins of the Veto Case: An Ecclesiastico-Legal RomanceWhether the Church ought to remain stationary, or should progress in the matter of doctrine and ritual, whether psalms should be sung standing or sitting, or prayers be listened to in a kneeling or in an upright posture - we do not pretend to say. The Church of Scotland may or may not be behind the age in these and in other things of equal importance but there is one matter at least, and that of a very vital description, in which she is not merely behind the age, but with regard to which she stands alone - to wit, in her ecclesias tical law and procedure.
