History of Zion Church 9 final at St. James' in the evening. Since that fateful day Zion congregation has had a variety of services from all quarters, including some of the most gifted young men of the Church of Canada's coming Presbyterian fathers. On the evening of the 31st October, at a meeting of the congre¬ gation, fully attended and mast harmoniously conducted under Moderator Rev. T. F. Fullerton , of St. James' Church, a cor¬ dial and unanimous call was extended to Rev. A. L. Geggie , of Truro, N. S. Mr. Geggie was a fellow countryman and fellow student of the late Mr. Sutherland , and their souls were knit in affection, even as those of Jonathan and David. It seemed grandly fitting and spiritually proper, that he should fill the vacant pulpit, and open the closed book. But on the 20th November the congregation were notified by a note from the moderator, read by Rev. Mr. Whiteside from the pulpit, that Mr. Geggie had declined the call, so that Zion Church was still without a pastor. During the long vacancy that now ensued, such minis¬ ters of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, as Mcintosh, Laird, Johnson, Sutherland, Coffin, Smith, McGillivray, McKenzie, Simpson, Stuart, and Whiteside have ministered to the spiritual necessities of Zion Church congregation, with varying power and results, yet reaping a grateful guer¬ don of thanks and goodwill from this appreciative people. We do not by any means undervalue or overlook the services of those men of riper years and experience, who have blessed their hearers during their waiting time, men in years and service like Moderator Rev. T. F. Fullerton , D. McNeil , G. Campbell , Brewer, Clark, Pollock and others, settled and established themselves, who out of the abundance of their varied and richest stores, have rejoiced the congregation's hearts, since our "beloved pastor sleeps." The foregoing sketch would scarcely be complete with¬ out giving the names of some of the earliest and latest offi¬ cials of this Zion of our fair city by the sea.
