On Prince Ediuard Island Rev. George M . Grant , M. A. , D. D ., afterwards principal of Queen's College, Kingston , was in¬ ducted into the pastoral charge of St. Peters and Roads and Georgetown . This settle¬ ment took place on 28th June, 1861. It is needless to say that Rev. George M . Grant was an able and elo¬ quent preacher and a faithful pastor, that he was extremely popular amongst his people, and, indeed, wherever he was known ; or that under his ministry the congregation prospered greatly. Those who knew Mr. Grant 's scholarship, ability and popular talent knew too well that a light so brilliant could not long be confined to a comparatively obscure section of the church. The fears of his warmly at¬ tached congregation, and the anticipations of his numerous friends were soon realized, for on 24th April, 1863, he accepted a cordial and unanimous call to St. Matthew's church, Halifax . Thus was terminated a happy and most successful pastorate, amid the tears and regrets of an attached people who remember to this day with fond and undying affec¬ tion their first regularly settled pastor, Rev. George M . Grant, the late world-renowned Dr. Grant , Prin¬ cipal of Queen's College, Kingston , Ontario . Dr. Grant , son of James Grant , teacher, was born at , Pictou county, N. S.
