TOURING QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES 45

The remains of Rev. John Cassilis, who died in 1850, lie under the shadow of Greenock Church. His dust has mingled with the soil of that enclosure, a portion of which he once owned and conveyed as a'site for Greenock Church. In 1867 his wife, Mary MacPherson, joined her husband on the other side of the Great Divide, and her remains were laid by his side.

I also appreciate the kind assistance given me by Richard H. Keay, son of Rev. Peter Keay, pastor of Greenock Church from 1868 to 1,873.

After enjoying an especially good dinner here, we motored back to our De— Luxe train, which in the night delivered us safely at Moncton, the second largest city in New Brunswick. It is essentially a railway city, where the Canadian National Railways have concentrated their Atlantic Regional Head- quarters, and owing to its strategical position, it is called “The Hub of the Maritimes.”

Moncton was named in honOur of Honourable Robert M’onckton, soldier and statesman, who received his com-
