     Island. In 1844 he resigned and returned to Scotland. His successor was Rev. Samuel 
     
     Brown of the Irish Presbyterian Church, who supplied the congregation for about six 
     
     months. In 1849 Rev. John McBean was sent out from Scotland, but his health 
     
     compelled him to resign after a few months and Rev. Robt. McNair became pastor, 
     
     Mr. McNair continued with the congregation until 1852. In the same year Rev. 
     
     Wm. Snodgrass came from Scotland, and was minister of the congregation until 1856 
     
     when he accepted a call to St. Paul’s Church, Montreal. During the pastorate of 
     
     Dr. Snodgrass the church made great progress. He was succeeded in the same year 
     
     by Rev. Thomas Duncan, whose pastorate covered a period of twenty years. Mr. 
     
     Duncan having accepted a call to St. Andrew’s Church, Halifax, in 1876, was 
     
     succeeded in the following year by Rev. Kenneth McLennan, of Peterboro, Ont. 
     
     During Mr. McLennan’s pastorate the handsome edifice, a photograph of which 
     
     is given, was erected. The foundation stone was laid June 7th, 1877, and the 
     
     edifice opened for Divine worship October 20th, 1878. Mr. McLennan resigned in 
     
     1884 and was succeeded in the following year by Rev. James Carruthers of Knox 
     
     Church, Pictou. After a pastorate of seven years, Mr. Carruthers accepted a call to 
     
     James Church, New Glasgow, and in 1893 the‘present pastor, Rev. Thos. F. 
     
     Fullerton, was inducted. During Mr. Fullerton’s pastorate a handsome and com— 
     
     modious Sabbath School and Lecture Room was built, giving the congregation a very 
     
     complete equipment, and adding greatly to the beauty of the church property.

     What was known as 
     
     'the Second Methodist 
     
     \Church of Charlottetown 
     
     had its beginning in a 
     
     series of Sunday School 
     
     and Prayer Meetings, 
     
     which were held for two 
     
     or three years in the old 
     
     Free Church—Presby- , 
     
     terian — building. In 
     
     the year 1875 this 
     
     building, having been 
     
     sold, and the congrega- 
     
     tion being without a 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     meeting place, a com- 
     
    

    
     mittee was appointed by the Quarterly Board of the First Methodist Church, to build a 
     
     Schoolroom as a beginning of a Second Methodist Church. This was done in 1876wthe 
     
     Schoolroom having a seating capacity for four hundred. The services were conducted 
     
     here as an adjunct to the First Methodist Church until 1884, shortly after the amalgama- 
     
     tion of the Bible Christians with the Methodists. The Bible Christians of Charlotte- 
     
     town then joined with the Second Methodist Church, which thus became an independent 
     
     congregation; and an addition was built to the meeting house—the result being the 
     
     present neat building, which will seat nine hundred people. The name was changed 
     
     to Grace Church this year. The pastor is Rev. W. J. Kirby. Services are held on 
     
     Sundays at 11 a. m., 2.25 and 7 p. m. Prayer Meeting on Wednesday at 7.30 p. m.
