You could ride far without hearing the sound of an oath. I verily believe there were more souls converted to Christ in that short period of time than in any season since the Reformation, though of treble its duration. Nobody complained of our Church Government more than the taverners, whose ordinary lamentation was that their trade was broken, the people were become so sober." This statement has been assailed by writers of various different ways of thinking. His own editor, Kirkpatrick Sharp, is utterly out of sympathy with Kirkton. Principal Lee, and Principal Cunningham of St Andrews, have recourse to the Kirk-Session records of the time, to show the reverse side of the picture. But no one surely would think of going to the records of Kirk-Sessions, or to the records of the criminal and police courts of any country, as if these could give a fair representation of the condition of society. Those old Kirk-Session records, as Dr Lee shows, are painful to read, but all they prove may simply be the vigilance and faithfulness of the Church in the exercise of discipline. Kirkton himself says (p. 49) that "no scandal could be concealed in all Scotland, so strict a correspondence was there betwixt ministers and congregations." In the Synod of Fife, we find it was enacted in 1650 that every parish be divided into several quarters, and each elder to KIRKTON CORROBORATED. 119 have his own for special inspection. Every elder is to visit his quarter once a month at least, take notice of all that was wrong, and relate it to the Session (Hill Burton, vii. 378). Similar vigilance was exercised in other districts, and if all.
