Description
Excerpt from From Saranac to the Marquesas and Beyond: Being Letters Written by Mrs. M. I. Stevenson During 1887-88, to Her Sister, Jane Whyte Balfour, With a Short Introduction by George W. Balfour, M. D., LL. D., F. R. S. E
'The auld manse, the auld manse,
A dear name aince to me,
Fond memory clings to auld lang syne,
When youth was fu' o' glee.
A faither's words are written there,
A mither's counsel true,
An' the music o' a sister's voice
Rests in sad memory now.'
Dr. Lawrie, Monkton Manse.
The idea most usually associated with an 'auld manse' is that of a parsonage; but any house may become a parsonage if you put a parson into it, while no number of parsons would make it into a manse. The manse is built specially for its purpose, as a residence for the minister of the parish; and it remains the residence of the minister and his successors so long as it stands.
