Mr. Beriis Preaching at a service conduct- ed by Rev. Mr. Evans in Belfast! Presbyterian Church on Sunday... Rev. R. J. Berlis gave an interesia- i ing account of Belfast pioneers and ' some outstanding personalities. Taking as his text II Timothy 1:14: "That good thing which was com- mitted unto thee, keep." he said: "The month of August must ever be held in special honour by the people of this community, and in- deed by the people of this Island Province. It was in August, i803, that three small sailing ships ar- rived in Orwell Bay. the Polly, the Dykes, and the Oughten. On board . were some 800 weary but resolute settlers brought by 10rd Selkirk, from the Islands of Skye and Uisti in the Outer Hebrides. These peo- i pie had known hardships in the land from which they came. They! were to experience hardships even more severe in the raw, new coun- try to which they had come. But by their courage, their tenacity. their dauntless faith. and above all by their capacity for sheer hard work, they won through. The Bel- . fast Pioneers were a determining factor in moulding the life and character of this province. Descand- 1 ants of t-l-ie pioneers have made outstanding contributions in the life of every province of this Do- iminion, and in the life of the American Republic to the South. The blood of the pioneers flows richly in the veins of most of you who are gathered within the sound of my voice. And it is within the Church of the Pioneers, this dear sanctuary built by their faith,i hallowed by their prayers. that we seek to worship at this present. And beyond the walls of this‘ Church. in the peace and tranquil- lity of God's Acre. are laid to rest, the mortal remains of these same pioneers. We do well to honour them today, pioneers of llfe_ and of God. As I think of these things. and .01 the example they have sct us, ~—I am reminded of our text. St. Paul was seeking to give counsel to a. fine young Christian recruit, Timothy. Like all young men, Timo- thy was impatient of the past. In the restless, revolutionary atmos- phere of the first century he crav- ed, above all else, to be modern.’ mp-w-date. But the mature Apos- tle pleaded with him, "In your‘ eagerness for the ncw—do not spurn the wisdom of the old." He called to Timothy's remembrance the tmfelgnecl faith which had dwelt S “That good thin: which was com- , mitts-d unto thee. keep." Living as we do in a century in- , finitely more restless and revolu-- tionary than anything Timothy ever krimv, we too have grown im- patient with old idcns. old customs, i old prevents. Wc nccd therefore to gather ourselves together in such a venerable setting as this with the graves of your attcestors hard by, and hear the ancient. chasten- i lng words: "That good thing that , was committed untd thee, keep." Enduring Memorials What are the "good things‘ I wonder? 1. In the first place, there is a noble heritage of character and courage. The Belfast pioneer: were not. afraid to live. They oper- ecl their arms wide to receive life -tlfe whole of it. the hurt of lt-J and there remained about them a nobility, a dignity, a spaciousness we shall never know. ' I think of Inrd Selkirk himself, ~adiventurous leader of an adven- turous people. Born to the purple. [he might have lived and died in selfish luxury, but he chose rather to identify himself with the needy. oppressed people of the Hebrides. The Red River Settlement in Mani- | toba. and the Belfast Settlement. are enduring memorials to his en- orgy and enterprise. Like Moses of old, "he chose rather to stiffer af- fliction with the. people of God, than to orfloy the pleasure of sin for a season." Lord Selkirws only dautzhter, —the charmiTIE.

I think of the venera- ' tion in which the pioneers held two institutions. -the Kirk and the school. For a time the new com- munity had no settled minister. but as we have already suggested. Dr. Aeneas Macaulay was acting- chaplaln. Then, too, each head of of his log-cabin. There were few books in Belfast in those days - but every family cherished thl Gaelic Bible. Each evening, by the fitful glow from the pine-knot on the fireplace. the father would read the nightly lesson. ‘It was in 1833 that the John Maclennan Rewd arrived — thl first ordained minister of Bel- fast-and shortly thereafter this historic church was built. John Mac-Lennon and his talented wife were a tremendous force for good. The Kirk was the centre of com- munity life and community thought. When_ after 26 years of faithful service, Mr. and Mrs. MacLennan set out for Scotland again in i849. the people gathered in the road- men. women and childrem- and wept unrestrainediy as they saw . their beloved minister for the last ' time. Respect for Learning Just as the people of Belfast had a profound respect for learn- ing. The first school was conducted in a log cabin in the Pinette dis- trict by Donald Nicholson who had ‘ come out in the Polly. In spite of hardships- shortages of books - long distances the children werl brought up not as barbarians -but as herltors of the rich treasures of Western civilization. No wonder there have gone forth from here brilliant doctors and surgeons, dis- tintzuished professors and lawyers, leaders in the Church, and in the world of Commerce. This respect for learning and scholarship, it is an authentic Scottish trait. We shall be poor indeed if we ever let it slip from us. "That good thing which was committed unic 3.

They belong- cd to 2 worlds. "From the. lone shieling of the misty island Mountains divide us and the waste of sons Yet. still the blood is strong. the heart is Highland. rides." When the pioneers built their Kick—they dedicated it significant 1y to one particular Saint - Si John. Now the New Testament has 3 St. Johns: A. St. John the Bap- tist -— a stern prophet in the wilderness. B. St. John the Evangelist —the beloved disciple -gentle and medi tative-\vho gflVE us the 4th gospel C—And St. John of Patmos-S. John the Divine -St. John tht island far from his home and kin- dred-but in his exile beheld a vis- ion of a better world that was to tome. When the pioneers built their church. it was. I am sure’ of this last St. John they were thinking —St. John the exile -St. John, the man who looked into the future and was not afraid. They caught his inspired spirit. Thinking on these forefathers-may we catch something of the same spirit “Those things which were commit- ted unto us, keep." Deadline Lady G91"!!! Craig ' onarrm x1 .
