tober 15, 1944, and undertook his task with great enthusiasm. Like Mr. Fream he was a bachelor during- his incumbency. Successive D.C.S . reports indicate the ongoing work of the parish at this period. Mr. J. A. Thompson gave lighting fixtures to St . Mark's. The gal¬ lery of St . Stephen's was transformed into a room for meetings. Other repairs were made as need arose. The old horse sheds were demolished at Kensington . A bathroom was installed in the rectory. A.Y.P.A .'s were active under Athol Cotton , President of the St . Mark's branch, and Lloyd Profitt , President of St . Stephen's. A Young People 's group was also organized at St . Thomas's. Women's work consisted of two W.A .'s,—under presidents Mrs. J. G. Town- send and Mrs. W. Harrington ,—two G.A .'s, and one J.A. Eoy 's Brigades were organized, and a branch of the Anglican Laymen's Association was set up at St . Mark's under the presidency of Gor¬ don Cook. In 1946 the choir of St . Paul's, Charlottetown , assisted at Harvest Thanksgiving, and the Rector, the Reverend J. T. Ibbott , preached the sermon. Mr. Noel 's pastoral ministry was par¬ ticularly successful and he presented large confirmation classes to the Bishop in his incumbency of only three and one half years. In 1948 the Reverend Sidney J . Davies was appointed rector. Much labour was put on church property in his time. In 1948 a new foundation was put under St . Stephen's, and a furnace was instal¬ led. In 1949 the interior was completely renovated. In the same year the 120th anniversary of the St . Thomas congregation was observed and the church building was improved in several ways. A large new furnace was placed under St . Mark's Church. All par¬ ish organizations were active, and missionary apportionments were fully paid. Mr. Davies resigned in October, 1950. After a seven month period, when the Reverend W. J. Phillips conducted services, the Reverend R. W. B. Coupland took charge in May, 1951. The parish was now self-supporting and gaining in self-respect by paying all diocesan obligations in full. A number of gifts were made to the various churches in Mr. Coupland 's time. In July 1953, the Reverend W. E. Ingraham was made a priest in St. Peter 's, Charlottetown , and was inducted as Rector of New London by Archdeacon G. R. Harrison in November. Major works have been undertaken in his tenure of office. St . Stephen's Church and grounds earned first prize in a Rural Beautification contest in 1953. A community hall was erected nearby. The centenary of the congregation was fully observed in 1954. Electric lights were in¬ stalled in the church in 1956. At St . Thomas's the spire had to be removed after standing for seventy years. A new foundation has been placed under the church, the grounds and cemetery have been levelled and the hall has been painted. At St . Mark's a new vestry has been built and a new kitchen, fully equipped, has been added to the parish hall. The rectory has been raised and placed on a new foundation. Young people's work is particularly active and the Rector takes much responsibility for the Church Camp at Crapaud . In 1956 an 8.30 a.m. celebration of Holy Communion was begun on Sundays at St . Mark's. Finances in the parish are in good shape and organizations function successfully. 53
