""After Fifty Years Or Letters Of A Grandfather: On Occasion Of The Jubilee Of The Free Church Of Scotland In 1893"" is a book written by William Garden Blaikie and published in 1893. The book is a collection of letters written by the author to his grandchildren, reflecting on the history of the Free Church of Scotland on the occasion of its jubilee. The Free Church of Scotland was founded in 1843, when a group of ministers broke away from the established Church of Scotland in protest against its interference in the appointment of ministers. Blaikie, who was a prominent member of the Free Church, uses the letters to recount the events leading up to the split and the struggles faced by the new church in its early years. He also reflects on the achievements of the Free Church over the past fifty years, including its role in establishing schools and colleges, promoting missions, and advocating for social justice. The book provides a fascinating insight into the history of the Free Church of Scotland and the religious and social issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
