About one hour was spent at Cape Breton and a large number of the party paid a visit to the telegraph office and other places of interest.

Thursday was a day of absorbing in-

terest and thrilling experiences. A northeast st :rm followed tha 1700 tons st amer and by tie_.time the steamer had reached the erstwhils peaceful w. t rs of St. Gsorgds Bty, the gall had reached its.1imi; and the wind was blowing at the rite ot 60 miles an hour.

1 Elftown I

MoN'rRi~:sL. Sept. 11. -The Rev. J.

A Gordon preached his initial sermon as pastor of the First Baptist Cnurcn, to a fair-siz-id congregation, yesterday morning. He gave the impression of being a thoroughly consecrated man; on-1 who recognized the hand ot God in 811 the affairs of life. _.

The1Rsv. J. A. Gordon. M. A., was born in Ui,g, a, little -7il1agc‘ abbtlt sixteen miles from Charlottetown, P. ‘°l; I. His- father was a pro-porous Scotch farmer of that place. and the s\_bj~~ct.ot this sketch was the eliest boy of the family. When only _tive years of age his father died leaving him' in what was practically the sole charge of the farm. Here he labored for about eightsen years, and from that work he obtained ithat .self-reliance which has been _a markedyharacteristic of his life ever since. As much as it was possible he attended the village school. and after- wards the gi amnar school at M nta- gue, a - eighboring town.

At the age of twenty-three' lie; wi;h

his brother. openod up a general busi- ness ot Montague Bridge, and about the same time he was marrii d to Mies Margaret A. Ford, a sister of itie Rev. J. A. Ford. M.eA., pastor of Eastport. Ms., ' Bapti-t _Cn\ircb. ’.f1Iui.‘ing- tlicis

S. fora furthercoutse of study. Returning home, hepursued. his work under the direction' of Dr. MsNeil. For some time he. fel: that it was necessaryfor him to preach the gospel, and in trder to fnr`h_er fit him- self for his life’s, work he entered News ton Theological Seminary with the c-llss cf ’7 6. He remained there. for two years, and then returned to Prince Edward Island, tiking up the work at a mission field in Cipe Wolfe.. At this field he was ordained in 1876. In that year he received a call to the East Point Baptist Church, to succeed h s own former pastor, an incumbent or forty-six years.

In 1880 he was called to the pasto.'-

ata of the Milton Baptist Church, Yar- mouth. N. S. This church, on account of internal dissensions and .financial failure, was pr-1ctical1y| demoraT'zsd. Mr Gordon only preached one sermon in his new charge before he was taken ill with pneumonia, and for weeks he lay struggling with death, His Scotch persistency pull :d him through. _and one Sunday, looking more ike a ghost than a huinaii being. he ascended the pulpit and, to the delight of the peopli preached ir,m the text, ‘I shall not die_ bm live, nic! After his recovery he began the work with his usual en- ergy, and in a short time the 0`2l\1r<=b .became one cf the leading ones of the convention. _

In 1885 Mr. Gordon was called to

Leinitir Street C.urch. St. Jo'hn,N._B., which was in an unenviable posi ion. By indefatigable Work 011 me P“'t_ °f pastor and people, the chur h united and prospered. '
