| Out in > Gulf of St. |
The tirst planting of the Baptist church- (es on the Island is one of the most inter- ; esting features of its history. At the |presenttime the Baptist Associaiion of
Prince Edward Island bas twen.y-s'x ‘stations, served by fi‘.een ministers. <A
| , : > . earefal study of the records of that period
goes to ehow that the first Baotist preach- ‘er that ever visited the Island was Rev. Alexand + Crawford. He came from Scotland in 1811 to Yarmoath, Nova Scotia, where he lived three years. Hearing
of the Sp ir’taul dest.tution of ~ f ward Island, he crossed over thither from | the mainland in the summer of | 18 814 I tind, however, that though Mr. 12 rawford was the first minister, yet he was not the first to do active work i the Baptists on the Island, since, con-
| of Halifax, Nova Scotia, other congrega- tions had been orga zed jn the Maritime Provinces about 1794, and amdng them i
“On the fel e of St. Jobn’ 8 (its
and which Island is attached to the Pro. ig & small i bureh under the care of elder Isaac Brad- shaw.”
Rev. Charles Tupper, fathet of the pre- sent eminent baronet ofthe same name, leader of the Conservative Party in the Canadian Parliament, and recently | High Commissioner of Canada to Great
| Britain, appears to have been the chief he ument of plant ng the Baptist Church ‘on the Islana, He paid ita large aumber of visits, conducted revivals, orda‘ned pastors, and generally organized the work. In later years he became rsi nt pastor hinself, and served the districes of Tryon ‘and Bedeque. Describing his first visit in 1825, Mr. Tupper wrote: *¥y reception on first reaching the [slanddid not seem propitious; but the prospect soon brighten-
ed. The attendance and seriousness evinced were highly encouraging. On one of the Sabbaths, when
the meetings were to be held at a consider- able distance apart, quive a number of young persons, who did not profess reli- gion, trave led, in going and returning, about thir.y mé es. It wa: ma .ifzsted that some of them were deeply cvacerned.’ The warm welcome extended by the Is- Janders to the early Baptist preachers wherever they went, and the comparatively large number of candidates they baptized, £0 impressed the missionary board with the importance of Prince Edward Island as a field for missionary culture that, in 1832, it was resolved to send two of the leading ministers to preach «© the people. Accord- ingly Messre. Edward Manning and Theo- dore Harding went to the island, and preached with sigrai tuccess at many places, including Charlottetown.
As moet of the baptized churches on the Island were of the Sootch Baptist order, writes one, the missionaries deemed it highly important that a un:on | should be etfec’ed between them ana the associaied churches, which, after debate,
was done. Henceforward the Baptists iu- creased rapidly; and churches were estab- lished all over the Island.
In 1845 the lace Dr. Rand, famous asa scholar, and a matchless linguist, was sppointed on a mission to Charlotietown (the capital), and ia Augus: of that year the first Baptist church was opened in the city. Deacon DesBrisay was the first one who was baptized ia this place; and for eeveral years he stood alone as a Baptist, Today there is a very flourishing congre- | gation in Charlottetown. In 1868, so great had been the growth of the Bapticts both iu ministers and im congregations, that they felt themselves sufficiently strong jto form a separate assoc ation for the Island: At that time there was a total ,;communicant membership of 627, and {thirteen churches. Since that date the i! associatioa bas held an annual session in | different parts ot the Island. As showing
the kind}y feeling which the efforts of the Prinee Edward Island Baptists have ev ok ed among members of other denomination iT happen to have witnessed, dur’= th. burning of One of tbeir chur ches, the heroic ' efforts of a very high church rector which he made to save portions thereof, and at 'the head of the subscription list to rebuiid- the church stood the name of the Right Rev. Peter Maclntyre,the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Island, whose contriLuiion | | was $50.
Asa representative of the Baptists on Lae Ejward Island, and a type of a true man, Samuel MacLe 4, late of Uigg. aids _ preeminent. He was ore j in the lsie of | Skye, Scotland, whence he emigrated. to
‘the Island in 1829. He settled in the | Belfast districi, and remained their to the lend of his life. He had been reared a

until 1867, when failing health forced him to resign, to the deep and true regret of

His powers of influence- ing others for good was quite unuenal, even fora good man; and, though he has long passed to his rest, yet be «till lives in the lives of those who were brought up at bis feet. Ue wasa diligent student, and a very im pressive preacher. One who eu- joved the closest intimacy with bim wrote of him: “There was never a bre k in his Vhristian character, He was a jewel» of the fist water, and a tower of strength to the cause of God on the Is land. 4

Involved in the question of the interpro- tat‘on of section 220f the new tariff law, with regard to the ven per cent. discrinrin~ ating duty on fereign goods coming into the United States from Canada or Mexico which is now before Attorney-General for decision, is another question of equal, if not greater, magnitude. Itis not giving the Tréasnry great concern. It was re- ferred to the Attorney-General by Seére- tary Gage for in erpretation along with the other features of section 22, which are in controversy. It involves the question of whether the discriminating duty of 10 per cent. does not apply to all goods -im- ported in foreign vessels landing at United States ports which are not exem,t from dis criminating tonnage taxes by express treaty +tipulations.

How many young men and women are cut off just as the future seems brightest and fuilestof promise! They are taken away bythe disease which causes over one-sixth of the deaths in the world—the disease which doctors call consumption. There is absolutely no reason in the world why consumption sbould be fatal—why it should be even serious. It is a disease of the blood and can be cured absolutely and always by purifying and enriching the blood. The only exception to this is the case where the disease has been neglected and improperly treated until it is stronger than the body—until the body has become so weak as to have lost the ability to recuperete. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will cure 98 per cent of al] cases of consumption if used according to directions. Jtalso cures all lingering coughs, bronchial and throat affections.

Do You Use It?
It’s the best thing for the hair under all circumstances. Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro- mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re- moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as_a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the rocts are nour- ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if vou wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use
