| Dunipace (Continued) | [continued from page 1] should have its own Kirk Session and maintain its own poor separately; that the celebration of Divine Service, and the pastoral labours of the Minister should be equally divided between the parishes." It appears also, in consequence of the above terms of union, that Divine service was uniformly celebrated alternately in both churches. The sacrament of our Lord's Supper was also uniformly dispensed alternately, the Fast-day services preceding each sacrament being performed in the church of the other parish. This Union seems to have given satisfaction to all concerned until deviated from by the late Dr. [Doctor] Knox in 1794. But the impropriety of having either of these parishes without the regular dispensation of Divine Service, became so apparent to all concerned that, after some preliminary arrangements, an assistant to Mr. Bonar, the present Minister, at the joint expense of both parishes, was obtained, by which Divine Service was performed in both churches every Lord's Day. Mr. Bonar, however, continued to preach as above, till the opening of the new church of Dunipace. Since that time, Mr. Bonar has preached alternately in both churches, agreeably to the original terms of Union between these parishes. The parishes of Dunipace and Larbert, being under the pastoral superintendence of one minister, his stipend is allocated from the teinds of both parishes. The stipend as fixed by the Court of Teinds in 1823, the period of the last Augmentation, 8½ Chalders of barley, and 8½ chalders of Oatmeal with 16£ 13s. 4d. for communion elements The manse was lately repaired at the mutual expense of both parishes. There is a Glebe in each parish. There are two extensive and respectable printing establishments in this parish; three grain Mills, two flax mills, one mill for carding and spinning wool, and one for grinding charred wood for Carron Iron Works.
