merfie-ld. This arrangement continued until Janu- ary 2nd, 1873, when Mr. John Murray was ordained and inducted into the pastoral charge of New Lon- don South and Granville. In the prime of life and endowed with much of the spirit of the Master, Mr. Murray entered upon the work of the congregation with great zeal, and his labors, especially among the young, were greatly blessed. During his ministry there was quite a revival of religion, and many were added to the church. After a most successful pastor~ ate of three years, Mr. Murray accepted a call to Sydney, Cape Breton, on 17th November, 1875, and was accordingly loosed from his charge and trans— ferred thither by Presbytery.

Both North and South New London, being now vacant, were reunited, and Rev. Isaac Murray, D. D., having accepted a call to the united church, was, on 11th July, 1877, inducted as pastor of that charge with $1,000 per annum and the free use of a manse and glebe. Dr. Murray’s pastorate lasted for only about one year, he having accepted a call from the Prince Street Presbyterian church, Charlottetown, on 26th September, 1878. After Dr. Murray’s trans— lation, New London North and Summerfield were disjoined from Clifton and Granville and were placed in charge of Rev. W. A. Mason, B. A., who for several years labored amongst them with dili- gence and with a fair share of success, but event- ually, with the view of taking a post—graduate course in Princeton Seminary resigned his charge of New London.
