This publication was compiled from an article which appeared in the Dunfermline Journal of November 2nd 1901. The first chapter concentrates on the history of the church and Rev. Imrie's contribution. Following the disruption of 1843 and a dispute over a church property in Chapel Street, Rev. Sutherland and others subscribed £500 to help build the church in St. Margaret's Street. Opening in 1847 at a cost of upwards of £800, this church had two ministers before Rev. Imrie took charge in 1876. He had a great interest in education and the gathering of a vast collection of printed material, given to Dunfermline Museum, on the history of Dunfermline and West Fife. The second chapter covers the soiree celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rev. Imrie's ministry. During an evening of addresses and praise, Rev. Imrie was presented with a gold watch and purse of sovereigns. His photograph appears on the front cover of the programme. On the last page, a handwritten note states that Rev. David Imrie died at "Ceres", Bidston, Cheshire on 12th April 1913 and refers to an obituary in the Dunfermline Journal.
