History of the I . Murray Harbor

Presbyterian Church ,-

(Continued) (By Rev. P. Watson Currie)

REV. ARCHIBALD SUTHERLAND

19l4-,-1920

On March 6th. 1914 a hearty and unanimous call was given by the Archibald that spring Presbyterian College at. Halifax. After due delib- eration Mr. Sutherlazd accepted this oall and on May 27th oi the same year was ordained to the office of the ministry and inducted as pastor of the charge. The meeting of the Presbytery was held for this pur- pose in the Murray Harbor North Church, the Rev. R. P. Murray Act- ing as Moderator. Rev. A. J. Mac- Nelll of Murray River, who had been interim moderator of the vacancy, edict to the assembled

congregation to Rev. Sutherland who was graduating from the

congregation. Rev. A. J. W. Back

preached an able and appropriate,

sermon after which Rev. Mr. Mur- ray as the Moderator oi l-resbytery ordained and inducted Mr. Suther- land who ha.d given his assent to the questions prescribed for the oc- casions and addressed the newly in- ducted pastor in suitable terms. Rev. A. J. MacNeill then addressed the congregation as to their duties and Rev. Mr. Andrew Gray, the former and well beloved pastor oi this con- gregation who was present in a few well-chosen words kindly commend- ed minister and people on the union just consummated. Being a young man and in his first charge, Mr.

l have run high as we find special ser- vices of that nature held and on June 20th, i915 the following reso- lution was adopted, “In view of the fact that the British Empire is at the present time engaged in a war which we believe to be waged by that Empire in the cause of Righteous- ness and world-wide justice to hu- manity. And in view of the fact that the British Empire has called and is now calling upon Canada for assist- ance in carrying on this war. And in view of the fact that several of the sons of homes in this congregation have answered the call of our King in this connection; and that there are yet many who are so situated in life that they could answer that call and thus bring honor to themselves and glory to their country. Therefore Resolved that this Sesion of Mur- ray Harbor North and Peters Road congregations do pray God to attend those who have already gone to the front from this congregation and bring them home to their loved ones, if it is His holy will, and fur- ther resolved that this session do place before the mcn of this congre- gation the seriousness of the situa- tion at the present time, and we call upon all to so sacrifice that the fair name Canada and especiallyPrince Edward Island be not in any way dc- based by any act of theirs in this connection." This was ordered to be placed on record and the Honor Rolls that hangyet in the Church Build- ings tell the result. It is significant that at the next meeting of the Session we find the members of ses- sion unanimously adopting a resolu- tion and placing itself on record as iabsolutely against dancing as a pas- time 0r recreation and thus con-

The good work done in Cambridge Sabbath School has been strongly commended and the establishment oi another at Oak Valley its-commenced. This school seems to have for sever- al years met a. needed purpose though for want of a. constituency it eventually was closed about the end 0f 1924. - ~ - - Another matter of importance to the Church is the attempt‘ of‘ the Session to place the Recordand Presbyterian Witness in every home in the congregation.

Nominees Decline

We find however that the men no- minated for eldership in the Mur- ray Harbor North section of the congregation, eight in number, all decline to accept and of those in the Peters Road section, seven in num- ber, all made the same statement with the exception of two and one of these securing a few more votes in the election was declared to be duly elected to the office which h ‘still retains. On April 3rd the Moderator de- clares his‘ intention of taking vaca- tion for two weeks in the near fut- ure. This seems to have been done and hercturned vigorously to work

prayer meetings in the various dis- trlcts but these seem to have not succeeded. A serious condition‘ seems to have arisen in the beginning of illicit liquor traffic and discussions held as to the best method of deal- ing with this evil. No permanent or practical solution seems to have been found although a great many attempvs were made. other perplex- ing problems of a. delicate nature seem to have been prominent at the time as was the case over the whole church and not the least oi these was the long and ardent controversy known by the misnomer "church Imion." We find however that the llberality oi the people in both of the charges is well sustained and per- mission given for baptism of the children in the homes wherever such is desired. Mission Money In 1915 the Mission monies col- lected are Murray Harbor North $69.40, Peters Road, $71.10, Murray Harbor North Sabbath School, $14.00, a total of $155 which was about the highest point thus far in the history of the charge. Also the statistical report is excellent and it is decided to adopt the weekly envelope system

members both by certificate from other churches and by Profession of Faith. We also find acareful visita- tion and good supervision oi the Sabbath Schools and appointment of oflicers and teachers a matter of deep concem. The increase oi mini- mum stipend ordered often by the General Assembly seems to have been duly attended to as we see from the following resolution unanimous- ly adopted by the Presbytery of P. E. Island at its meeting in Zion Church. Charlottetown on February 9th- 1917, and ordered by them to be inscribed in the Records of the Church. “The Presbytery having leamed that the congregation has increased the stipend to twelve hun- dred dollars per annum desires to congratulate them upon their com- mendable llberality in this nutter, and pray that the rich blessing may rest upon all departments of their work."
