The first church congregation in Cavendish was organized by Rev. Peter Gordon in 1809 and the cllurch that this congregation at- tended was situated at what. was then called Yankee Hill. near the mouth of New London Hrrbour. As more settlers arrived. it was decided to build a church in Cav- endish so in liliifl the building was started. but when partially com- pleted it was destroyed by a forest fire which swept. through the set- tlement: but nothing claunted. it was replaced by a new one the following year. This building stood at the cross roads in the corner of the cemetery.

The congregation thought they should have a permanent pastor but it was not until 1838 that they nddr red a call to Rev. John God- dle. a young man only 22 who had just, c ,' ' it his studies in Nova Scotla.

John Geddie. as all former Pres- byterlarls in the United Church know. was the first foreign mis- sionary sent, overseas by the Marl- timc Synod. He stamped his per- sonality upon the foreign mission- nry enterprise of the lilth century. He remained in Cavendish 10! seven years and it was with deep Beigrst that the people patted with

As the people gathered. the church was filled to its opacity and as many more were outside. Owing to the kindness of Mr Percy Bole of Hunter River who loaned and handled his sound system. Those outside could hear the en- tire service as distinctly as those inside. There was special music. both morning and evening. Mr. Underwood of Ottawa was soloist in the morning and Miss Betty King in the evening. The congreg- ation led by a full choir did their part and it was a. feast of melody.

Dr. Bonnell in his own inimit- uble style and full of passion brought the message of the even- ing. "One thing thou lackcst". Dy pointed eplgram and rich illustra- tions he warned and challenged rot: in let that "one thing" aspar- ate us from Jesus; not to lose the pearl for the tawdry things of earth.

He instanced the Fommunists who are on fire for their religion and who count not even life we precious to lay down for it. and we must do as much if not more. ”lies. a better type of Christian- ity than we here-to-fore dtmlwed, only by this can Christianity con- uer."

It was a great day in Cavendish Church history and as the people made their way homewsrd. not one but said. "It was good for Its to be here". There was much heart-searching. at the same time a great. toy that they were mem- bers of Christ's body. the Church and they would be real and sacrificial in their w ness in the days before them. "Hitherto hath the Lord let! us.”

Motorists say the section of the Trans-Canada Highway now be- ing laid between Charlottetown and Borden is a fine piece of work. Only about ten miles is being laid this year but more is promised in 19523 When the whole highway is completed there will be far fewer complaints from summer visitors. In spite of criticism the Island makes progress. The pavement extension to Georgetown and the new asphalt betwecn Summerside and Ken- sington. is. further assurance that we are not standing still in per- manent highway. construction.

"Bill" Gillespie has let it be known that Sept. 12 has been selected as the date for the Futur- ities. On that date. which falls on Wednesday. all of the future Island pacing and trotting talent will be shown to Provincial rac- ing fans. The entry list this year is larger than ever. and with the mounting interest in the game "Bill" thinks attendance re- cords will be smashed. it is al- most twenty years sine 'ihe. Futurltles were inaugurate and they have been a great incen- tive to the raising of home-bred

stock.

A list of the moors and trot- lers which made their debut at. the futurities. and tho later moved on to make racing his- tory on Maritime, and some- times on American speedways. would be a very long one. All money taken at. the gate at the Futurity meet goes for purses, and expenses; anything left over goes back in the pot to keep the annual event on a sound finan- cial footing. There are no salaried officials. no dividends to any- one except to the breeders and owners. whose entries take is share of the money. and the honor of raising.a.winnei'.

The imagination shown has paid off handsomely and will con. tlnueto do sotndetluttely. it. seems. racing the open sea with no ob- structions to hinder landings and take-offs In that quarter. the port is located on flat terrain. and surrounded by level ground on all sides. level enough at any rate to be no barrier in exten- sion. Charlottetown airport un- fortunately is hemmed in by roads. a cemetery. and more physical features that lend them- selves less readily to the exten- sion of runaways and improve- ments. That someone was dov- dmamlng or lacking in vision when the Charlottetown site was picked is apparent. If not. why should our port be by-paused when other cities are deriving great financial benefit from the money being spent to increase and maintain Csnadsis air defense! and civil aviation fscilitin.
