Bedeque United Church

The History of a Methodist Circuit In Prince Edward island

Tracing its Roch in tho Cultural, ‘Educational and Commercial Fields of tho Community.

Tnz GUARDIAN. unaxnurrtrfvwn

I nylln.

Tho ooimiorciai Motor-y of Controviilo no! law! Boooquo may be dated from the arrival of tho Popes in 1818. "mo Popes of Ply- mouth, were merchants and ship-builder's, but above all they were Methodists, and their arrival in Bodoquo was perhaps one of the turn- ing points in the history of tho Methodist Church. ‘Thomas Pops the oldor. of Plymouth, had aix cons, tbreo of whom wero fa-moira preach- ers in the Wesleyan church and threo msrdmnta and ohipbuildcra who worked very successfully in a family partnership. Ono of the sons. John Pope. with his brother William. came to Bedequo in 1818 with a sliipload of artisans and labourers to build ships and cult pine‘ deal for the British market, boiih of which found a ready sale on the other aide of tho Atlantic. The Popo residence. later to bocuno the Summorddo Kirk. was built near tho cornor of tho Lawn Bodoquo road and for many your aorvod u a mariner‘: land mark for those sailing up the channel. Probably tho sumo men. who built tho Pwe huno (one of thorn chalked the name “George Price i818" on a. beam) helped at the now church which was built under tho direction of John Pope. It was built to tho east o! tho than amali coal-story which had been started at Lower Bodequo and its alto is now ooverod with the grsvu of its first attendants.

Most Bodequera can remember tho old ‘ mducod at lad to warehouse status behind Bownosda store, where it burned to tho ground in the ire of 1938. A plazln low-posted building, 30 x 40, (a shade bigger t. an 'l‘ryon'a 39 x 2'1 chapel) with gotbic windows and, in its day, galleries and porch, it made no pretensions to being c. carchocfi-ai but for tho loyalists entering libel: first Methodist chapel in Bodoque. even for tho minister but. two years removed from a. Montreal pastor- ate. and for tho Plymouth Popes who k-naw tho la/rgor meeting-houses of the old country it was doubtless a considerable achievement in church building. The chapel, when completed with gallery and. some crowd- ing of fat folks, was officially reckoned as having three hundred and six sittings with forty of them free; but when they tucked. than all in is just difficult to say.

Some would suggest that this was not tho first church at Lower Bvdeqlle- In “Bcdecruc and Its People", by L U. Fowler, Prince Edward Island Magazbie, page 118. it is stated that the Acadians had s. church and cemetery at Lower Bedcquo on the present Robert Waugh farm, and than. tho church bell is buried near tho spring on an adjacent property. On the other hand we have it from Professor J. H. Blanch- ard. authoritative Aicadian historian, that the nearest church for the Bedeque Acadiams in pro-English diays was at what is now called Barbara Welt, where later in early English days a largo settlement of French formed a handy labour reserve for haying and. harvest in Bedequc.

CHAPTER THEE!

Tho Popes wero not tho only welcome additions to tho population from. the old country at this time. The Yorkshire people who came out in the Valiant in 1817 and gave their name to Little York settlement near Charlottetown, contributed their overflow to tho Crapaud and Tryon section of the Bedequc circuit. William Barker and. family, Richard Hudson, George Wigtginrton and wife, and Christopher Smith and fam- ily were rich additions to the Methodist population. Their names are still honcurcd and their influence. greatly broadened. can still be traced. Others who came around this time; Richard Ica and family settling in Tryon, and Captain ‘Thomas Moys in Bcdeque, were to be well known in Methodist circles by their descendants, particularly by grandsons vuho carried their naunes.

Early settlers who loft no descendants were quickly forgotten in ‘the collective memory of the community. The first resident doctor at tBedcque was a striking example of this, James Graham, n. forty-two- -_vear-uid buciielorkaf Edinburgh, who bcgun- u. thirty-five year prncticc at Bedeque in 1814 which ended only with 11.15 ‘death, was entirely for- gotten a hundred years later, though at least one manufactures Graham Wright of Crapaud. (second son of William Wright and his wife Isa- bella Cole of South Shore), had the honour of carrying his name through life. Dr. Graham lived at Major Keeper's with a practice even larger than the Methodist missionaryls circuit.

Last of tho lcyalluia

‘llhe doctor saw many weary eyes close for the last. time. The Loy- alist pioneers were going Home. Thomas Hooper Sr.. who had been appointed Bcdcques first. justice of the peace thirty years previously. died ln 1816 at the age of cighty-tvvo. M. North Bedcque William Wright, who heard the Word of God read from the Treasured Book with which he luad furnished his home, finished out his days in Feb- ruary of 1819. Further along the shore at Wilmot Grove, William schurman, who had sold the Book in Bedcquos ‘first store. paid his debt. to nature the same year when the leaves began to fall, leaving legacies totalling nearly n. thousand pounds to his daughters, farm lands in excess of twenty-seven hundred acres to his sons art-d gran-d- sons and ihrec thousand acres of woodlandcearrnarked for sale on ibehalf of his'_ost.ate.

I

William Schurman in his last will and testament directed his body‘ to be buried near ilhe church (Presbyterian) at Bcdequc and from

this it migh be surmised that the first church stood in the middle of

the present cemetery. His negro servant, Susannah Schurman, was

to be provided for in the faimi as long as she lived, or if she wisiim

to leave was to receive fifty pou_ do. Book. as one was commonly known.

has become a legend in Bediequc. Her beautiful voice, typical of cub’ of her races gifts to humanity. lad the singing of the psalms in thc

old Church at North Bedeque for well nigh a quarter of a century.

A Strong Rival

Across the river the Methodist meeting-house, so near by ice in winter tithe and so far BWEY by road in summer. was soon a strong rival to the long-established Kirk. The Methodists had an urgency in their message and a popular appeal in their 1131111115 of worship which the more staid service of the Scottish church lacked. The urgency of the Gospel preached by the Wesleyahs could be no more clearly demons- trated than by tho departure of Johm Pope from his prosperous Boclcquo business in 1819, after only a short year's stuy, to take his place with two of his brothers in the Methodist missionary ministry of North Amicrlca. His work, commenced in Charlottetown as assistant pastor to Robert Alder, was to end many years later in the old country by way of the West Indies. Ono of his sons, Rev. Wm. B. Pope. D.D.. was destined to rise to the highest position in the Methodist Church in England; mother. Rev. Thus. J. Pcpe, to be friend and secretary f0 Cardinal Newman.

About the same time as John Pope left Bcdequo, the youngest of the family. Joseph Pope, a lad of sixteen or so. arrived for a short; visit which stretched on t.o a residence of forty years. Joseph Pope, his colu- cation completed in the shipyardspf Bedeque. was not out of his teens before his cider brother William left him in charge and moved to Charlottetown where for some yeara he was high sheriff for PEI. one of the leading merchants of the Capital and a. prominent local preacher forsthe Methodists of Queen's county. Joseph Pope was not the enthusiastic churchman that his brothers were. A Methodist all his Bedcquo days and generous inothe support. of the church. he gavc to the field of politics the devotion which his brothers reserved for the preaching of the Word. I

Johnston“ Account

Bedeque had its first adverse press notice in 1822. Walter John- stonc. one time shoe-maker of DurnlrJesahii-e, scotian‘ who came to the Island in 1820 selling atrow bonnota and religious b-acts. and org- anizing Sunday schools published an account. of his visit to tho Island in which ho spoke of Bedoquo as "truly an oncsllout, woll-clearodpet- tlontent. The settlers, howeverflaro both ignorant and indolent farm- ers and much of the land is running wild and barren under their mon- agernent” The criticism sounds inconsistent as "indolent ignorant farmers" could hardly bo creators of an "excellent well cioarod settle- ment". so it is necessary to read between the lines of this rare volume ‘of Prince lkiward Ialandia. Johnolontfa Travels In Prince Edward Island (Edinburgh and London 1824) w aeo vdhot. hadyrejudiood the author ‘ ‘ Bedcque.

Walter Johnstono, though making a livim in books and bonneis. found his cblof delight inpagaulzing Sabbath Schools. A Calvinist of broad sympathies he sought to bring the people together in this great work, making light of denominational differences and finding greatest co-opcration not from his follow Prsobytoriana but from the Baptists and Methodists. On his fin-t trip to Prlnco County. John- atcno stopped at Trycu. but hearing that Mr. Keir was to preach in Bedequo on Sunday, July 10th. I820, ho act out on Boturday to walk tho twelve miles through the woods of the Albany road to hear bx Afewmilea bofoxoxoacbimhisdootinatioahooamotootavsrn.
