This is a quote from a family history: As a catechist, with the minister's approval, he would go about his district asking children questions from the Shorter Catechism, all about God, about Sin, and about the Devil. If the poor children did not know the answers he reported them to their parents, telling them to "see they knew their lessons better next time"!

Ferne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 26 November 2002 22:33 To: [email protected] Subject: [SUT] Interesting Occupations Many thanks to Christine, Fraser, Chuber, and everyone who offered definitions of the occupation of Ground Officer. I am now adding your definitions to my new Dictionary of Occupations (I need something to stop me wondering what could be so embarassing about watching the ground). If anyone has a definition of a Catachist, as noted in the Census for Sutherland, I would be pleased to know.
