Whether he reached that .
home or not, none on earth can tell. But his writings show, if any thing can, that the vestal-fire of conscience still burned within, though choked again and again with bitter ashes and foul smoke.
Consider the time in which he lived, when it was " as with the people, so with the priest," and the grand old life-tree of the Scottish Church, now green and vigorous with fresh leaves and flowers, was all crusted with foul scurf and moss, and seemed to have ceased growing, ...and to be crumbling down into decay ; con- sider the terrible contradiction between faith and practice which must have met the eyes of the man, before he could write with the same pen — ^and one as honestly as the other — The Cottar's Satur- day Night and Holt/ Willie's Prayer, But those times are past, and the men who acted in them gone to another tribunal. Let the dead bury their dead ; and, in the mean time, instead of curs- ing the misguided genius, let us consider whether we have not also something for which to thank him ; whether, as competent judges of him aver from their own experience, those very seem- ing blasphemies of his have not produced more good than evil ; whether, though "a savour of death unto death," to conceited and rebellious spirits, they may not have helped to open the eyes of the wise to the extent to which the general eighteenth century rottenness had infected Scotland, and to make intolerable a state of things which ought to have been intolerable, even if Bums had never written.
