The altar, which is very neat in design and execution is the work of Mr. Dempsey of Summerside . The pews, wainscotting and gallery frontal are of imitation oak. The pulpit of solid oak and rosewood is a gem, the work of Mr. Bernard Creamier . The wood employed in its construction was taken from H.M.S.Phoenix which was wrecked on East Point Reef in 1881. Above the altar hangs a valuable piece of tapestry, evidently embroidered by French ladies of by-gone centuries. It represents the ressurrection of our Blessed Lord; in the foreground are the figures of several Roman soldiers in awe- stricken attitudes at the sight of the risen Christ. The colouring is delicate and the needlework exquisite. The stations of the cross in this church are very handsome oleographs, in black walnut frames. The organ, of the Dominion make, is a powerful and complete instrument. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of St. Columba's is its bell which weighs thirteen hundred and forty- five pounds. Its sonorous tones can be heard within a radius of seven miles. The original architects of the church designed a vestry, but in course of time it was found to be too small to meet the requirements of the congregation. In the year 1885* it was replaced by the present one, a find building forty feet in length by thirty six feet in breadth and fifteen feet post. At the same time twenty two new pews were added to those already in the church, a step rendered necessary by the increase in the congregation. Tnese improvements have been made during the pastorate of Rev. D.J.Gillis . The presbytery, which, although very comfortable, is very old, was built by Bishop McEachern and in the year I859 was remodelled and enlarged by the late very Rev. D. McDonald , then pastor of St. Columba's. The cemetery contains some handsome monuments, among others, one to the late Hon. Emanuel fr'icEachern, who died in November 1875 aged fifty nine years. This eminent public name possessed strong antipataies; it is told of him that when he was requested to patronize a Highland dinner, given in Charlottetown in 1871, to celebrate the marriage of H.R.H. Princess Louise with the Iterquis of Lome, Kr.
