Found in a book....

..of caricatures and poems about the men who formed the Establishment of Edinburgh in the 1940's.   (Ah, the Lady Provost did get a short mention -but then she was the wife of the Lord Provost.)

The Very Rev Charles L. Warr, CVO, DD, LLD.  Dean of the Thistle and the Chapel Royal, Minister of St Giles Edinburgh.

Where Knox did preach, and Mary sat,
And Jenny threw her stool,
A Preacher stands in the Old High Kirk,
And none disputes his rule.

Never a truer word, and the quite disgraceful treatment of his successor, Harry Whitley, evidenced not only in Whitley's own auto-biography, but also in correspondence in the National Library, paints a very jaded picture of the Church.     Warr was often described to me by those who knew him as incurably arrogant and snobbish.
