The following excerpts from the memorial volume “The ‘ Catholics irlPrince Edward Island" published in 1922 will be of inter- est in connection with the centen- nial anniversary ce of the death of Bishop MscEachern:

Among the passengers on board the "Alexander" was Hugh Ban MecEachern of Kinioch. Moidart, in Scotland, who with his wife and nine of his children had decidedto try his fortune in the New World. Two of the family remained behh-ld in Scotlandvizz-a daughtenMar- garet who had married a. short time prior to the emigration, and Angus Bernard, the youngest child of the family, who was left in charge of Right Reverend Hugh MacDonald, Bishop of the High. land District. Angus Bernard, who was fourteen years of age when his parents set out for Am- erica, made his early studies in Scotland, under the direction oi’ the Bishop, and later was sent to Spain, to the Royall Scots College at Valladolid where hespent sev- eral years, and where he was rats,- ed to the Priesthood on August 20th. i781. "

He immediately went back tohis native land. and took up the work of the Holy Ministry, dividing his time between the 'mainland and several of the adjacent Islands. The people amongst whom he lab- ored were at the time decidedly dissatisﬁed with their dot, and many of them were ﬁlled with the idea of emigration. They had re- ceived giowing accounts of the comfort and happiness of their kinsfolk in Prince Edward Island, and were looking forward to the day when they would be able to join them in their adopted coun- try. This condition of affairs had gone on for a considerable time;

but the death of Father James changed the aspect of things, and

the ardor of their desires.

Now however. new hopes rose up within them, They thought within themselves; why could not Father MeoEaohcrn come with them to America. as did Fiather James in

the case of the ﬁrst emigrants. He was now in the prime and vigor of his early manhood, ﬁlled with the spirit of his Divine calling, ready to brave any hardships that would promote the glory of God and salvation of souls, why could he not come out to the New World. whither so many of his kindred had already gone, and who were now in sore need of priestly consolation? The. prospect thus opened before the young priest was not by any means a pleasant one. It meant much labor and hard- ship: but above all other consider- ations. he could not help recalling to mind the pathetic death of Father James, and this thought was certainly well calculated to give him pause. But other consid- erations lured him on. He fully understood all the possibilities of service to God and humanity, that would lie within his reach in the new country. He saw before his mind's eye the touching picture of so many souls crying for bread and none to break it to them. Amongst their number he saw his own fa- ther and mother bereft of Spiritual consolation in e. foreign land, and thus to the motives of religion were added the more natural ap- peals of ﬂesh and blood, till he seemed no longer able to resist and so decided to come to America. Accordingly plans for a second emigration were speedily made, and in the early Summer of 1790 Biath- er MacEachern with a large band of emigrants set sail from Scotland and arrived in Prince Edward Is- land about the middle of August of the same year-

The newcomers received a warm welcome from their friends at Scotchfort, who were fortunately in a position to bestow upon them the kindly attentions so much needed after a long ocean voyage. Father MacEachern was welcomed with special cordiaiity by all the people. but particularly by his parents who had parted from eighteen years before. We may well imagine the Joy of his mother to see her boy of fourteen years grown to man- hood. and vested with the charac- ter of the Holy Priesthood. It was indeed a day of great rejoicing at Scotclifort, when n Priest again appeared on the scene, and the walls of the old church echoed back once more the thrilling word's of Sacriﬁce.

With little or no delay Father MacEachcl-n entered upon his mis- sionary career in the new Colony. l-ie took up the some round of ar- duous duties that had sapped the energies of the lamented Father James, and brought him down to an early grave. In fact. these lab- ors werc more difficult now be- cause the people were more num- erous and were spread out over larger areas, for many of them.on leaving the Tracadio Estate had settled in remote places to which access was very diﬂiculi. But Fa- ther MacEachern quailed not at the sight of labor. He was above all things else a man of duty im- bued with the true missionary spirit. and neither labor nor ditIi- culty could stay his ardor, and so without delay he took up the work interrupted five years previously by the untimely death of Blather Jam- ea, and by the blessing of God, he was able to carry on the same without rest or pause for a period of forty-five years. Wonderful changes took place in Prince Ed- ward Island in those forty-five "are, but throughout them all he changed not, he ever remained the same gentle, humble follower oi the Divine Master whose life he strove to imitate, as "He went about doing good."

In a preceding

tion was made of the diaccuisnt. that prevailed amongst the early settlers at Bcotchfcrt.

new country. they were greatly dis- satisﬁed with the system of land tenure, that obtained upon the Tracadie Estate. and grievoualydis- Pointed in the fact that the expec- tations they had formed and the roscate dreams they had caressed when leaving Scotland showed no signs of realization. Hence it was that many, as already stated, took advantage of the first opportunity i to leave the neighbo hwd of Scctohfort, and go elsewhere in search of homes. This movement began almost immediately after the coming of the ﬁrst immigrants some of whom, crossed over toCape Breton Island, whilst others not wishing to go so far from their kindred took up lands on Lots 8'1 and 38, in pieces contiguous to Scotchfort.

In a short time Iot 31 attracted a considerable population, and its steady growth seemed to indicate that it would eventually surpass in importance the original settlement. This fact did not escape the keen vision of Father MacEachern, who was alive to every in rest of his ﬁock, and as the amost ruinous condition of the primitive Chapel at Scotchfortnnade it imperative that it should be replaced by a larger and better edifice. he made up his mind that the original site should be abandoned and the new Church erected at a place more to the Eastward, where it would be convenient to a greater number of people.

This plan however, did not please all concerned. Captain John MacDonald of

‘rracadie was strongly opposed to it. He did not wish to have the Church any farther from his home. and he had sufficient in- ﬂuence with his tenants to bring any of them around to his way of thinking- Personal consideruti entered thus into the matter, and as often happens in such cases. thedntcrésted persons were not sufficiently unselﬁsh to appreciate arlght the real motives of the change. But Father MacEachern was not a man to take hasty ae- tion. He patiently left the mat- ter in abeyance till the coming of Bishop Denaut of Quebec, who_ made a. Pastoral visitation of Prince Edward Island in the year i803. His lordship, when seized of all the facts, saw the wisdom of Blather Macllieohernm contention and accordingly gave it his entire approbation.

He forbade the further use of the Chapel at Scotohfort. as a place of worship, and selected a site for a new Church farther up- the river and near the eastern boundary of Int 3'1. He directed Father Maclliacilem to commerce building operations without delay, and‘ chose for ‘Titular of the new Church the National Patron of Scotland. St. Andrew the Apostle. In the following year the Church was built and put in shape for the celebration of the Holy Sacriﬁce, and for upwards of ﬁfty years it served the people of the neighbor- hood as a house of worship, and at the same time gave its name to the entire settlement. f I This Church was hauled down the river ice to Charlottetown in the month of Miarch, i864.

A separate Mission was subse- quently established at ‘Ikacadie a little to the West of Scotohfort. About the year 1838 ground was broken for a Church near the Head of Trundle Bay, on the Old Glen- aladale Estate. This building hav- ing been in use as a house of wor- ship for upwards of sixty years was converted into a. Parochial Hell, while close by was raised an imposing edifice, the present beau- tiful Church of St. Bonaventure.

During the years, when these centres of population were being established t.“ ghout Prince Ed- ward Island. the one grand out- standing figure. that was ever at the back of the movement, and the one that particularly elicits our respect and admiration is Right- Reverend Angus Bcrnard Mac- Eachem, first Bi ‘ of Charlotte- town. On his shoulders lay the burden of providing for the spir- itual welfare of all the Catholic people, not only of thme, whose coming to the country we have Just been describing; but also of those who were settled along the Gulf Shore of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island. These latter people had grown quite numerous. especially during the latter years. and on that account claimed much of his attention, for he visited them as often as he could steal away from the pious importunities of his flock in Prince Edward Island.

In later years when he became diocesan bishop, his sphere of ac- tivity was considerably enlarged, and besides the extensive region above mentioned, he travelled the whole or New Brunswick. which at first formed part of the Diocese of Charlottetown.

In the year i819, after he had spent twenty nine years as s. mis- sionary priest, he was appointee bishop, and two years later he was able to make his way to Quebec. where he received episcopal conse- cration, on the 1'lth of June, 1821. This additional dignity, however. did not relieve the diffculties of the situation in which he was placed. nor did it lessen in the smallest degree the sum total of the labors that fell to his lot. Be- ing only an auxiliary bishop, with- out independent Jurisdiction, hewas still subject to the Bishop of Que- bec. and therefore his hands were tied to a great extent, and he waa not in a position to introduce the reforms ca- inaugurate the works, that he might deem useful or ee- sential to the welfare of religion throughout the region, in whlohhe lived and labored.

It was not till August 11th, 1830, that Charlottetown was cut oi! from Quebec, and raised to the standing of an independent dio- cese. This was in very truth a red- ietter day for the Church in Prince Edward Island. It ushered in an era of pun and poa-

It is characteristic of God's providential care for His P901118. that He selects for their guidance. men endowed with the special apt- itude to cope with the particular needs and difficulties of their times. To these chosen leaders He opens the treasures cf His own wisdom. and bestows on ‘them qualities of mind and heart,’ that make them ﬁt and effective in- struments for carrying out the de- signs of His Providence. Such a man, without any doubt, was An- gus Bernard MacEachern, pioneer bishop of the Diocese of Chariot- tetown. He was a man of vision, who saw and understood the pos- sibilities of the situation. and who, grasphlg the opportunities of his time, turned them all into ways and means of promoting the inter- ests of souls.

The one great drawback to the advancement of religion, with which he was confronted during his missionary days in Prince Ed- ward Island, was the lack of priests and this great want he had en- deavored, in season and out of season, to impress upon the minds of the authorities at Quebec. But his efforts in this matter had hitherto proved unavailing, and little or nothing had been clone to relieve the tension of the situation. Hence, no sooner was he in a posi- tion to act for himself, than he took up the matter in a serious and determined manner, and forthwith began to devise ways and means to educate a native clergy, who would supply the fut- ure wants of the mission entrusted to his care. From the ﬁrst, he was convinced of the fact that if the people would be left dependng on priests from abroad, they would sl- ways be short of clergy, and would often be without clergy at all. His hopes therefore centered in a. local institution of learning, wherein vo- cations would be fostered, and young men having an inclination for the priesthood, would receive a

the moral training necessary as a. preparation for that holy state. Accordingly, he turned his house at Saint Andrews into e. college,

tion for higher education in the Maritime Provinces. it was a dif- ﬁcult undertaking with the slender means at his disposal; but time fully justified the wisdom of his course, for the institution thus founded proved a veritable boon to the Church in this section of Eas- tern Canada. It became in time a nursery of religious vocations, and from its walls came forth a band of young men, who went abroad to finish their clerical education. and then returned to their native land. to devote their lives to the salvat- ion of souls. In this connection, it is sufficient to mention the names of Right Reverend Peter MaeIn- tyre, third Bishop of Chasﬂotte- town; Reverend Francis John Mac- Donald, who labored so long in the eastern section of the Province; Very ReverendJemes Moodonald. Vicar General under two bishops; Reverend Pius MacPhee, for many years identiﬁed with the cause of religion in the north eastern por- tion of King's County: Reverend James Aeneas MaoIntyre, the first native- Islander to win the Doctor- ate in Theology, at the Propaganda College in Rome; Reverend Dan- iel Doctor. whose memory still lingers amongst the older people of Cher- lottetown. T0 these may beadded a list of others, whose sphere of clerical activity was comprised in the Provinces oi Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In this way Saint Andrew's College proved the stay of religion in Prince Edward Is- land, and its foundation will stand forever as a monument to the foresight, energy and sacriﬁces of Bishop MacEachern and the Scot- tish Catholics of his time. It. ren- dared splendid service in its day, and when through the changes wrought by time. it was found in- adequate to the growing nced that arose, it gave place to tile new St. Dunstans, founded by the immed- iate success -l of Bishop of Bishop MacEachern. and which working along the same lines, has been blessed with a wonderful measure of success.

The Bishop lived at the College for some years, until a new resi- dence. he had commenced at Sav- age Harbor had been completed. It may be said, however, that he spent only a small portion of his time at Saint Andrews’, because the duties of his office kept him almost continually travelling from place to place. He continued to visit the settlements as he had done in his earlier- days, adminis- faring the sacraments, visiting the sick, catechising the younger gen- eration. settling disputes‘ when such existed. and spreading abroad amongst the people whom he serv- ed. the aroma of his own personal sanctity. We will never know, and therefore can never fully apprec- iato how much the cause of Cath- oliclty owes to his zeal and devot- edness, particularly in those days, when singly and alone he bore aloft the banner of religion, and like another Moses. led his people out from the bondage of early want and privation into the Prom- ised Land of progress end hopeful development A true Apostle was he, who inv the early days of our diocesan history. labored with a spirit of devotedness, and a single- ness of aim and purpose. that won forever the love and affection cl

A writer. who well remembered him. thus describes his last visihto the Mission o1 Saint Mary's atIn- ' dian River:_"Bishop MacEachern visited Indian River for the list time in June i834, when he hip-m tized all the young children. and y; on June 24th, the feast of Saint , John the Baptist, he conﬁrmed all who were prepared, the writer o! this sketch being among the num- ' ber. After Mass, he preached the ﬁrst Gaelic sermon I ever beard. and which I remembered for many . years.

"After the ceremony was over. the people went rout on the green before the church door, and when the Bishop came out he addressed ,, one of the parishioners sayingz- y’? “Roderick. I think you were iato l“ for Mass." The man answered that they had a saying in Scotland that . "Late ploughing was better than no ploughing at all." Tho Bishop then told them that this was his last visit to Indian River. as he. ' had only a short time to live. man above mentioned said to him: —"W‘ilen you die see that you put in a good word for us." The Bish- I op replied that he would make no rash promises, as he did not know how his own case would stand. He then made them all kneel, and he. blessed them, and made the Sign of thelCross over the four corners V. . of the parish, on their houses end- beionglngs. The people began in lament and say:—“Wl1en you are, dead we will be as badly off asevcr a for e. Gaelic speaking priest. ‘He saidw-“You now complain of tho scarcity of priests, but the day may come when there will be com plaints that there are too many w support, and that they wiiltakgl the children's bread from “the? hearth.’ He told them, when ha; would be gone, Reverend B. D.- Malcdonald would administer t ‘ them in their own tongue. He t-hera, bade them farewell."

The saintly Bishop's premonition. of his impending death was onl too fully realized. In the follow _ ing spring,s.she wascn one of his». issionary journeys through Kings County, he suffered an attack oﬂ; paralysis at the home of Dugaid - MacIsaac at Saint Peter's Bay. Al '- few days after, he was taken to his‘ home at Savage Harbor. where h lingered in a. semi-conscious corn, dition until the 22nd of April, 1835., l when the soul of the beloved Pre- ' _' late passed to its eternal reward.

The news of his death spread rapidly throughout the country antiv- _' brought deep sorrow into eve ' » Catholic home. He was mourned b , ‘ all without exception. for he was‘ , without any doubt the best known and most esteemed person in the entire country. He was beloved not only on account of the prin-Y ciples which he held and inculcate’ ed, but more so by reason of the: many excellent qualities of mind ~ and heart that marked him out a‘ prince amongst men. Even those- rlot cf the household of faith re-‘ vered his memory, and recognized‘ in him a. wonderful inﬂuence in the cause of right and justice. Ho was the chosen repository of“ his‘ people's conﬁdence, and no one went to him, that did not come away better by the interview. He possessed e. marvellous insight into" ' the motives and thoughts of poo-- pie, and could discern with almosii. uncanny assurance their inner- most thoughts and desires. The Government of the day recognizing these traits in his character, ap~" pointed him Justice of the Pence. so as to give legal value to his de- cisions in matters of dispute. and this appointment whilst a great saving to the people added not a little to his labors and anxieties. Usually. on his missionary journeys to the various settlements, one of his most important duiies was to hear complaints and adjust what- ever rmtters were in dispute, and no one ever questioned his decis- ion. Everyone was ready to admit that what he said was true and what he did was right, and this absolute conﬁdence in his sense of truth and justice was the outcome‘ of a conviction begotten in their minds. through the personal sanc- tity and cicvotcdness of his life. He was in truth their great bonefac- . tor. Ho seemed to live only for g , ' them. For them and for their . - v salvation he made and was daily; I. _ making untold sacriﬁces, and it‘ * was impossible for them not tn. ' trust him. One has but to read hill, letters to the Bishops of Quebec, td -_ realize how complete was his in-j tcrest in the welfare of the people, and how his only personal grati flcaticrl consisted in promoting.‘ their spiritual and temporal wel- . fare.
