EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the revered Scottish Presbyterian minister, Thomas Guthrie (1803-1873), delivering a sermon in the picturesque glen, likely in the early 19th century. The serene and pastoral setting of the Scottish highlands serves as a striking backdrop to the intense focus and passion in Guthrie's expression as he speaks to his congregation. Dressed in the traditional black robe and collar of a Presbyterian minister, Guthrie's presence exudes a sense of authority and devotion. Thomas Guthrie was a prominent figure in Scottish religious history, known for his commitment to social reform and his efforts to improve the living conditions of the impoverished communities in Scotland. Born in the small village of Monikie, Angus, Guthrie went on to study theology at the University of Edinburgh and was ordained as a minister in the Church of Scotland in 1826. He became the minister of the Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh in 1834, where he gained a reputation for his powerful preaching and his dedication to the welfare of the poor. Guthrie's sermons often addressed the social and economic issues of the day, and he was a vocal advocate for the abolition of poverty and the establishment of a more equitable society. His efforts to improve the living conditions of the working class led him to become involved in various social reform initiatives, including the establishment of schools, hospitals, and industrial cooperatives. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the power of the spoken word could move mountains and inspire change. The image of Guthrie preaching in the glen serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of religion and the transformative power of the human spirit.
