Rev. Andrew Jameson, 1803-1861, was the son of a 

 soap-boiler in Leith. A man of High Church pro- 

 clivities, it is reported of him that he would frequently 

 take into the pulpit emblematic spectacular devices, 

 such as rude branches of trees in the form of a cross. 

 The design of the above token, dated 1830, would lend 

 some colour to this report. It is further stated that 

 without the knowledge of either congregation or Kirk- 

 Session he got the calme for this token made and 

 issued the tokens for use at the Sacrament. This, 

 we are informed, created such indignation that the 

 Presbytery had to be called in to settle the dispute, 

 with the remit the token was prohibited from further 

 use. The calme for this token was turned up in a 

 field by a Dalton ploughman some fifteen or twenty 

 years ago, and is now in the possession of a local anti- 

 quary. More than one story is heard in the locality 

 which would make Mr Jameson out to be a man of no 

 ordinary sort. For example, it is said he got into 

 debt and was taken by. his creditors before the Small 

 Debt Court in Edinburgh. The first Sabbath after 

 his return he preached on the text, " Have patience 

 with me, and I will pay thee all." He was succeeded 

 in 1861 by the Rev. John Mein Austin, minister of 

 St. Mary's, Dumfries (1849-1852).
