Thomas See also:Chalmers. In 1842 he was presented to the living of Drumblade by See also:Lord See also:Kintore, with whose See also:family,he was connected.

Church See also:minister at Pilrig, between Edinburgh and See also:Leith, from 1844 to 1868. Keenly interested in questions of social reform, his first publication was a pamphlet, which was afterwards enlarged into a See also:book called Better Days for Working See also:People. It received public See also:commendation from Lord See also:Brougham, and 6o,000 copies were sold. He formed an association for providing better homes for working people, and the Pilrig See also:Model Buildings were erected. He also undertook the editorship of the Free Church See also:Magazine, and then that of the See also:North See also:British See also:Review, which he carried on until 1863. In 1864 he was asked to undertake the Scottish editorship of the See also:Sunday Magazine, and for this magazine much of his most characteristic See also:literary See also:work was done, especially in the editorial notes, then a new feature in magazine literature.
In 1868 Blaikie was called to the See also:chair of See also:apologetics and See also:pastoral See also:theology at New College, Edinburgh. In dealing with the latter subject he was seen at his very best. He had wide experience, a comprehensive grasp of facts, abundant sympathy, an extensive knowledge of men, and a See also:great capacity for teaching. In 1870 he was one of two representatives chosen from the Free Church of See also:Scotland to attend the See also:united See also:general See also:assembly of the Presbyterian churches of the United States. He prolonged his visit to make a thorough acquaintance with See also:American See also:Presbyterianism, and this, followed by a similar tour in See also:Europe, fitted him to become the real founder of the Presbyterian See also:Alliance. Much of his strength in the later years of See also:life was given to this work. In 1892 he was elected to the chairman-See also:ship of the general assembly, the last of the moderators who had entered the church before the disruption. In 1897 he resigned his professorship, and died on the 1 rth of See also:June 1899.
Blaikie was an ardent philanthropist, and an active and intelligent See also:temperance reformer, in days when this was far from easy. He raised £14,000 for the See also:relief of the Waldensian churches. Although he took an active See also:part in the affairs of his See also:denomination, he was not a See also:mere ecclesiastic. He had a keen See also:eye for the evidences of spiritual growth or decline, and emphasized the need of maintaining a high level of spiritual life. He welcomed See also:Moody to Scotland, and the evangelist made his headquarters with him during his first visit. His best books are The Work of the Ministry—A See also:Manual of Homiletic and Pastoral Theology (1873); The Books of See also:Samuel in the Expositors' See also:Bible See also:Series (2 vols.); The See also:Personal Life of David See also:Livingstone (188o) ; After Fifty Years (1893), an See also:account of the Disruption See also:Movement in the See also:form of letters of a grandfather; Thomas Chalmers (1896).
