later bestowed upon the church at St. Peters where it has been in use for
many years. The beautiful sanctuary which we have so faintly described. was built by Bishop McIntyre who is a native of St. Peters Bay. His Lordship hopes to have it completed interiorly before the close of 1887.
The mission of St. Peters was served first by Rev. John MacDonald. then by
Rev. James Arneas MacIntyre, who was succeeded by Rev. Pius McPhee who remaine‘ up to 1865. Then by Rev. William Phelan. from March 1867 to September 1867,
to September 1869. Rev. J. Lamont from September 1869 to February 1870. Rev. Pius MePhee from September 1870 to October 1871. Rev. D. J. Gillie from 1871 to 1876. Rev. Roderick McDonald from 1876 to 1878. Rev. Pius McPhee from 1878 to 1881. Rev. A. J. Trudelle from 1881 to 1882. Rev. Pius McPhee from 1882 to 1 Rev. I. Dumont from 188h to 1886, Rev. Donald Gillie at present curate-in-chary The grave yard at St. Peter's Bay is most beautifully situated. on high ground overlooking the Bay which here is narrow and curving. edged by the well tilled land of prosperous farmers. Fine old beech trees and fairy like groves of birch. shade the graves of the faithful dead. many of whom lived to exceed the given limit of men's age. We noticed one marble headstone to Angus McIsaac who died May 5th 1850. aged one hundred and three. also his wife Christian died September 1835 aged eighty five years.
Another stone marks the grave of a Mrs. McKinnon who departed this life at the age of one hundred. while a freshly made mound covers the remains of a John Mchellan. recently interred at the age of one hundred and four.
In the centre of the burying ground. close under the out_stretched arms of a t' wooden cross. two handsome headstones denote the last resting place of the parents of Bish0p McIntyre.
The parochial residence of this mission was built by the Bishop in 1868.
The railway which curves round the shores of St. Peter's Bay, has brought a
great change in the settlement which now boasts a thriving village. containin:
