Andrew’s Church, Halifax. Eight years later he returned to Scotland and served in Bridge of Weir from 1884 to 1899. He was married to one of the Hyndman family of Charlottetown and their son, George, who was born here in the Kirk Manse, later became Minister of the Church of S. Andrew and S. Paul, Montreal, prior to his ministry in Edinburgh where he died early in life.

Three months after Mr. Duncan’s removal to Halifax, the Reverend Kenneth MacLennan, M.A., was inducted into the Kirk pastorate on January 31st, 1877. Shortly after this, and mainly through the new minister’s influence, the congregation commenced the erection of the present Kirk. His gifts and skill as an author— ity on ecclesiastical architecture are reflected in the beauty of the present building and he will always be remembered for his share in its design and completion. Having laboured here for eight years he accepted a call to Levis, Quebec, on June 30th, 1884.

A vacancy of one whole year was ended with the calling of the Reverend James S. Carruthers of Pictou, who was inducted on May 6th, 1885. The task which lay before Mr. Carruthers in Charlottetown was a difficult one and required much prudence, tact and no small amount of determination; fortunately both for himself and for the congregation, their new minister possessed all these qualities in a marked degree. The building of their fine new church had left them burdened with a heavy debt, and what was even worse, division and disorganization which were most dis- couraging. But nothing daunted, Mr. Carruthers entered upon his difficult task, determined, by God’s grace, to succeed, and succeed he did beyond the most sanguine expectations of his friends. On May 2nd, 1892, he accepted a call from S. James’ Church, New Glasgow, and was duly translated to the Presbytery of Pictou from which he had come to the Island.

The Reverend Thomas Fraser Fullerton, M.A., was inducted as pastor on January 19th, 1893, and soon won for himself a unique place in the life of this congregation, this community, and province. Enlisting as a chaplain, he gave distinguished service with the Canadian troops in the South African War and, on return from overseas service, entered upon a rich and rewarding ministry to the people of the Kirk and the people of Charlottetown. His has been the longest pastorate, extending as it did for twenty- eight years. His memory is still cherished by the senior members of the Congregation; his ministry is commemorated in the beauti- ful memorial erected by his family who are still members of the Congregation.

Following the death of Dr. Fullerton in 1921, the Reverend William Orr Mulligan of Bedford, Nova Scotia, became Minister of the Kirk and served through the troublous years of the Church 'Union conflict until 1925. Accepting a call to Sydney Mines, later to Westmount, Quebec, and then to Aurora, Ontario, Dr. Mulligan
