Perhaps something pre- judiced brother Johnstone on his trip there. one fact beng that he could get no one to take charge of the Sunday School which he at- tempted to found in the settlement. Mr. Johnstones first visit to Try- on was in July oi’ 1820. He writes o! this visit as follows: “When I reached Tryon iFriday July 2i) I found my books arryed by sea. On the Friday and Saturday I traversed the community all around the settlement endeavoring to get a school for the Sabbath, and l house to assemble in; but I was told that the Methodist meeting house was occupied from ten o'clock in the morning till eight at night: and l could procure no other place every way convenient and thus had to loco a day. “As Mr. Crawford in Bailtist preacher with whom Ml. Johnstone became quite friendly-he was h nl- self Church 0f Scotland! llad gone ggqicque pcneers whom it we are t0 that Sabbath to the Elliot or West river to preach. I attended the Methodists. They have a vcry dc- ccnt meeting house in the middle of the settlement; and a local preacher from Bedcque oillclatcd that day. At my request he intimated a meeting oi lhc heads of families on the lvlonday evening at six o'clock. At the time appointed a consldcrnble llumbor attended, and Mr. Crawford having returned to the settlement a‘s0 ai- tended and opened the lllcetilig with prayer. Mr. Miller, the regular Methodist preacher for the d strict was also present before the meeting was over. Much division o! opinion prevailed as to the way in which the school was to be conducted; and the least informed as frequently happens were the most loquscious; beginning to cover us before any- thing could be agreed upon, another meeting was fixed on the following Friday night. The final result was that two schools were established, the one among the Presbyterians the other by the Methodists and both were doing well the last time I visited the settlement." INSTITUTES A SUNDAY SCHOOL As Bedeque and Tryon were so intimately connected ill spiritual imatters in those early days we further quote from m. Johnstones. account the results, or lack o! rc-l’ suits from his visit to the former place. “On Thursday evening 117L111 July I reached the settlement oi‘ Bedcque. On Friday and Saturday I traversed round it inviting the people to bring their children to the MethodLst meeting house wilicli‘ I had procured between the DIWEJCITi ings, to hold the school in. I waited upon thcm at the time nppoiut- cd but a vcry small number wcrc presented for instruction. A meeting of the heads oi the families was called on the Monday evening ui six oclock; very fcw attended lllld thcsc were mcn of no courage. The Methodist preacher here beggar: ulei to hold him excused his labors 1)’!- ing so great that he coufd HOB: take any hand in the school. The StZTlllOflS northern shore." It is not recorded whether he made another attempt the Iollowing year 182i, to round the school in Bedeque but he writes in that year regardng the one at Tryon: “When I passed through the settle- ment oi ‘Tryon, one oi the Meth- odists told me they had dropped one 0t their socal exercises in the meeting house in order to give time for holding the Sabbath School and that they found their attention to the children a very pleasant work; and he hoped in due time it would nLso be profitable." THE MINISTERS SALARY A man apparently of rare d scorn- ment. Mr. Johnstone remarks, m speaking of the Island as a whofi: "I find noth ng so lnuch wanting as money and good ministers." And yet we think that history doesnt repeat itself! The stipends of min- isters nt that datc were small. we lcarn that the Presbyterian min» ister of St. Peter's Bay preached ten yearly in Covchcad for wlfch lle received 30 pounds. Writing of the dflercilt churches hc con- iuues: "The Methodists maintain two regular preachers in Prince Ed- ward Island; the one was Mr. Rob- iollowing week I traversed llllldil Ciiprfi Aide;- fmm Bgrwicksmrp, and the settlement ovcr again.

'I‘his was high praise oom- lng as it did from a Calvinism: Presbyterian; and as the Methodists did "abound" in Tryon we natural- ly conclude the moral tone o! the community was higher than aver- age. THE FIRST INDUCTION From 1810 t.l1 i821 the Presbyter- ian folk of Tryon were paid nzular visits by Rev. John Keir or Mal- pequc. He with his extensive charge could not give them the number of sclvices they demanded so we rind in the summer o! 1822 Rev. Wm. Hyde‘ conducting a mission at ITyau and Cape Traverse with the result that the Presbyterians oi ihosc communities called him to be their pastor, and having accepted he was inducted Oct. 23 1822 This was the first induction by the Pres- bytery o! P. E. l. which had been formed oniy a year before, October ll. 1831. ~ "Rev. Wm. McGregor preached the ordination sermon, Rev. John Kill‘ delivered the charge to the minist- er and lo the congregation and Rev. Robert Douglass gave the clos- ing scnuon on Hebrews li-l-"Tiicrc fore we ought to g've tin mc-re earliest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them sip.’ Mr. Hyde's connection with this congregation hovxcver was short and very un- happy. This seems t: have arisen partly irom circumstances in the statootmseongregatimudpltt- ly 1mm Mr. Hyde's own conduct. The number o! people in the con- gregnton who understood the prin- ciples o! Presbyterianlsm was very smell, and Mr. Hyde himsell seems to have been or that number. By lelerence to the minutes oi a meet- ing o! Presbytery before which the dlmcultles between him ind the congregation were considered it an- pears that he was a man oi peculiar temper. At the close oi’ the inquiry the Presbytery, satisfed that his usefulness was at an end, did on the 15th oi’ March. 1825 dissolve the pastoral tie between him and tie congregation o! Tryon and Caps ‘Iraverse. Rev. R. B. Patterson, M. A.. having settled in Bedeque with- in a. few months o! Mr. Hyde's de- parture, the Presbyterians oi’ Tryon and Cape Traverse were placed un- der his spiritual oversight." Thus both the Methodist and Presbyter- isn congregations o! Tryon were under the pastoral care oi’ mlnstels residing in Bedeque. and were to mrnaln so lor a long number of years. i. DIFFICULTY OF TRAVLL In the summer of 1823 George Jackson arrived on the Bedeque cir- cuit to take Rev. Thomas Payne's place who was about to leave for the West Indies. There has been preserved a. little incident illustrat- ive o! the dltflcuites’ entailed in reaching the Island as experienced by Mr. Jackson at this time. Mr. Jackson a nied by Rev. Wm. Burt ministerial appointee to Ober- lcttetown, and Rev. John Pope who was making a short visit to his bro- thers at Bedequa before ccompmy- Zng "Mr. Payns southward bu! en- deavored to sebum a vessel at B!!!

At a. short distance from the shore the sea proved rough but when midway the boatmen be- came helpless through tear, and the ministers in serious doubt whether they should ever reach the shore had to take sole charge of the frail craft. At length they succeeded in reach- ing Cape Traverse and thence they found their way to Beleque on hors- es. Rev. George Jackson spent three long and valuable years on tho 'I‘ryon and Bcdcquo circuit. Among the itinerant ministers or the day he had no intellectual superior and thouih or but indifferent health his activites as pastor and writer were numerous and strenuous.
