John Eadie link

Solid Ground Christian Books have reprinted in the past year a lot of books by the 19th Century Scottish theologian John Eadie. Anyone interested in Eadie will find a fine potted biography of Eadie Here. A caricature of Eadie is to be found here. Pictures of Eadie's two churches are on the same site. Cambridge Street and Lansdowne. Both were United Presbyterian Churches when Eadie was pastor.

Eadie moved to Lansdowne in 1863, with a large part of the Cambridge Street Congregation. Arriving at Lansdowne, the Church officers found the following poem written on a placard that had been stuck on the Church door:
This Church is not for the poor and needy,
It's for the rich and Dr. Eadie;
The rich come in and take their seat,
The poor go on to Cambridge Street.
