and conscientious as a pastor, and his ministry was attended by a fair measure of success. He resigned his charge in 188I and removed to Australia.

In September, 1882, this congregation extended a call to Rev. A. B. McLeod, but he, having been called at the same time to Mount Stewart and West St. Peters, accepted the latter. They next called Rev. Malcolm Campbell of Strath Loone, Cape Bre- ton, who, having accepted their call, was inducted on 3rd January, 1884. Under Mr. Campbell’s faith— ful ministry the congregation had large accessions to their communion roll, nearly doubled their con- tributions to the schemes of the church, and en- joyed a time of great prosperity. Mr. Campbell’s connection with the congregation terminated on 11th November, 1890, he having accepted a call to Strathalbyn and Rose Valley.

As already stated, Caledonia, for several years a mission station, was organized into a new congre— gation in August, 1885. They at the outset guar~ anteed an annual stipend of $750. A large number of this congregation being Highlanders, without much English, it was necessary for them to have a minister able to preach in both languages. Rev. John Sutherland was accordingly called and in- ducted as pastor of this new congregation on 20th August, 1890.

After Rev. Mr. Campbell’s translation to Strath— albyn, Rev. A. S. Stewart, late of Mosa, Ontario, was called and settled as pastor of the congregation of Woodville in the year 1892.
