The Minister's statement was that in addition to an amount not in ex- cess of $50,000 towards the Borden concrete highway. the agreement with the Dominion also provid~s for federal contribution of 50 per cent of the oost of the asphalt highway to Charlottetown, exclusive of ad- ministrative costs, “it being under- stood that the total cost to which by choice. but by a. suddenly awak- ened mnse of the direction and force of public opinion.

The deepest thoughts of my heart have been stirred and the Spirit urges me on. I am full or joy that God ts hear- ing, and answering the prayers of l-Iis people-that the people of to- day be moved in spiritual matters. I believe that Mr. Denny is rm in- strument in God's hands in bring- ing chis about. I believe that every true Christian is distressed yet hopeful of the outcome of the spir- itual condition of the Church. Mr. Denny has set forth several thoughts and questions, some oi which I know are in the minds of many people both young and old. Some oi’ these questions are in the true believers heart. I firmly be- lieve there is a solution to it all, which can only be found in Jesus and His Word. Here is a place we can find an answer to every ques- tion. a solution to every problem of life, but first in our search after Truth. we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that Great Teacher cp- poinied of God, who alone can convince the soul of sin, oi‘ right- eousness, and of judgment, our souls’ first great need. He alone can lcad us into all theTfflih. End takc of the things of Christ and reveal them to our souls. He alone can bring us to the Cross of Cal- vary and there givc us a Divine Revelation of that sacrifice offered for our sins.

HISTORICAL BUMIIARY The history of p lic health in Prince Edward and naturally divides itself into two periods: the first from discovery of thc Island Europeans to I763; the second from 1763 until the present day. Tho name of the discoverer of Prince Edward Island and the date are uncertain. It is commonly believed that Cabot in 1407 visited its shores and gave it the name o! Saint Jean, but this is rather im- probable. The French claim -Verr- azano as the discoverer, while others hold that Cartier was the first to sight it in 1534. However, the fact remains that this beautiful little island, “The Garden of the Gulf". was discovered very early in Can- adian history and was named Isle St. Jean. The aborigines of Isle St. Jean belonged to the Abenaki and Micmac tribes of Indians. These first inhabitants called it "Abcgweit" (resting on the wave), a poetic and descriptive name. There is‘ little known about these savage tribes. The only Indians now found on the Island are Micmacs but very few o! theme are of pure Indian blood. Isle St. Jean, along with other parts of Canada, is said to have been claimed by the French king as early as the 16th century. How- ever, this iittle comer of the New World does not seem to have re- ceived any attention for over one hunderd years.

Naturally these had no interest in the permanent colonization of the country, their only object being to erect stages and perhaps a shack or two to carry on their work. In spring a large num- ber of fishermen visited the Island, and in autumn returned to France, leaving the Indians again in un- disputed possession. The first colonists came to tlk Island about I719. Both were fisher- men from Normandy and had large families. T1185: pioneers were soon joined by others and lfl 1720 there were seventeen families numbering one hundred and thirty-five inhabi- tants. At this time Isle St. Jean was under the ‘control f' the French commander, at Lo isburg. Cape Breton. About the year 172s there was a steady influx of Arcadians from what is now Nova Scotia and so greatly had the population in- creased that it is thought that in i763, when the Island along with other French possessions was ceded to the British. the population had reached six _ thousand inhabitants. During this long period, from 1719 to 1763, ‘the Island was little dis- turbed by the continual war raging on the adjoining continent between the French and English settlers. During these years the Roman Catholic clergy kept a very complete record of vital statistics, register- ing all births, marriages and deaths in the various settlements. Up to this time all the early pioneers and settlers were French,—hezice this record was a complete census of the white population. The fall of Lousisburg and Isle St. Jean was soon followed by that of Quebec. and in 1763 a treaty oi p080: was signed between France and England, ceding New France to the British. In 1764 and 1765, Isle St. Jean was completely surveyed by Captain Samuel Holland. From letters and documents now in London, it is evident that the surveyor-general thought most, favorably oi Isle St. Jean, not only for its beauty in summer and the value of its fisher- ies, but for the marvellous fertility of the soil and the general advan- tages for settlers. Shortly after- wards the Government of England decided to dispose of it in allotments of twenty thousand acres. There were sixty-seven of these. Three were reserved by the Imperial Gov- ernment and the remaining sixty- four were given to men who ap- peared to have some claim on the government.

"Delight thyself in the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart." 1f we delight ourselves in the Lord, than our desires will be toward Him,- and when thc desires of our heart; are in accordance with His will, nothing we ask will be denied us.
