The Historical Society of The Pres- byterian Church in Canada is endeav- orfng to secure information relative to the early days of the Presbyterian church, also Womeifs lvfissionsiy So- cieties in P. E. Island and have asked me to undertake the work here. If you have any information statistics or relics such as tablets, pictures, communion cups or any church em- blems or know of any person or per- sons having such in their posses- sion would you kindly communicate with me as soon as possible and oblige.

Charlottetown, P. E. I.

Dear Madam:

Your letter of the 17th inst. to Mrs. George T. McClure has been handed over to me for consideration‘ and I beg to say that I am glad this matter has made a. beginning in this inter-g eating part of Canada. You will have a large task, as thlslsiand was one of the first of the Provinces to re- ceive ministers of the Presbyterian Faith and to send out men to convey the glad tidings even to the far-of! isles of the Pacific Ocean, as well as to the Prcvincesflthat were later col- onized in the Canadian west.

I have, in my ministry in Ontario, been very closely in touch with the Historical Committee of the General Assembly as the Convener thereof. Rev. Austin T. Budge of Hagersvllle, Ont., is a former fellow-student at Toronto University and Knox Col- lege, and since coming here I have been gathering useful data with a view to publication in the Guardian. Among many others I have secured a copy of "The History of Presbyter- ianism in Prince Edward Island" by Rev. John McLeod which sketches the various congregations‘ up to the beginning of the present century. The animal reports of the W. M. S. (East- ern) "Sixty Years of-Mission Work," besides many tracts, tokens, pictur- es of ministers and-church buildings etc, that are plentiful and._good. I might say here, that it is only the hard pressure of pastoral and other duties that has prevented my plan of writing up the history of the charge here 1n the columns of the Guardian. so that errors, if any, may be detect- ed and former residents of this lo- cality, who are scattered all over the world may be discovered and interest- ed in us. Let me assure you that I shall do all in my power, to promote your undertaking for there is much material that may perish if not soon gathered up, and carefully collated. Servicq here were held as early as the year 1806 by the‘ late Rev. Dr. MacGregor of Pictou. . I remain, Your Sincerely,

PREFACE

In connsction with the history of our old Mother Church a. few quota- tions from the Church of Scotland in connection with her _ daughter the Presbyterian Church in Canada may be appropriately given a place here, “In reviewing the history and pres-- ent position of the Church attention is first arrested by the advantages that have been derived at various times from different sources and chiefly through the nnection with the Mother Church. The truth is, that ever since our Presbyterian Church in Canada began the prayers and practical sympathies of the good old Mother Church have been un- ceasingly waited across the broad ocean.

It is not for us to boast of this connection, nor these sdvantlsfll. but rather to ndeavor to realise the great responsibilities arising. from them. Other churches are setting us a wcr. thy example. The rapid extension of another system of religion amongst us also presents a stimulus to work and watchfulness. While we would speak of it charltably and judge pf it tenderly we are bound to resist its encroachments. Never was there a time when greater need existed for vigilance and active ctr-operation. If your Church is to occupy s. position of honor and usefulness it must avail itself of every appliance that may be found conducive to success in Chris- tian work. While some with plausible ingenuity, are sedulously endeavoring to show the points of aQAGCIHCIIt ex- isting between our system and that uEIBGUIEIIiJ against which we once protested with a view to re-union and others treat the points on which most of us differ, as mere trifling matters of form, let us hold ‘fast the profession of our faith putting on the whole armor of God."

"The battle of the church is not to be fought in. general assemblies or othercourts of the ‘church nor_in the HighCourt of_ Parliament, but it is to be fought and won in our Par- ishes and at the, firesde of the hum- biest of our country's population. These are not days when the Church can with patience contemplate the case even if a single individuaieat- lug her breed and not mioing her work or doing it superficially. Let every one whatever his position in, the church give his best service to the church of his fathers and prove n workman that needeth not to be ashamed and a. good and faithful servant whatever be his talents."

FOREWORD

It is always a pleasant task to re- cord in permanent form the deeds of your predecessors and it is also a heritage of no mean value. The duty becomes lighter when one is following the path blazed out by others for in the earlier and formative years no records nre generally kept and in the long period of 125 years the pioneers of this place have passed on to their rest. In many cases they labored on as we do now and never expected that they would figure in the pages of his- tory nor were conscious that they were laying foundations broad and deep. We regret that many great deeds have been allowed to perish un- recorded and like the ‘Elegy in the
