tribute to her faith. Like the Savior whom she loved so well and served so faithfully, she was enabled to say “Not my will, but Thine be done.” Mrs. C. M. Dykeman of Jemseg, N.B., an old friend of the family, came in the fall of 1968 and took care of Mrs. Sinnott, and remained until the summer of 1971. Mrs. Dykeman was very active in the life of the Church and Community while in Kingsboro. She made many friends, and all regretted to see her go.

A very special event took place in the winter and spring of 1968 when the Church decided, upon the recommendation of the Board of Trustees and the Finance Committee, to remodel the interior of the Church. The whole auditorium and vestry were redone. Wood panelling replaced plastered walls, and new Pella doors replaced old wooden doors, which divided the Church from the vestry. This was done at a cost of well over seven thousand dollars. Final payments were made on this undertaking in the fall of 1971. New pulpit carpet was donated by Emery Bruce. New runners for the aisles were donated by Mrs. Marjorie Cameron, and the Estate of Chester Bruce. The entry was also carpeted. All the buildings were painted, and a strip of pavement was donated by the P.E.I. Government and laid in the Church yard.

A Wolf Cub Pack was organized in 1967 by the Pastor to fill a

need of boys of the'Junior age. The Cub mothers supported the Group. and sponsored several father and son banquets. Pat Robertson became Assistant Cub Master, and proved a very valuable help in this work.

During this pastorate Dr. George Hamilton of Yarmouth, NS. came in November of 1967 and assisted in special services. In the spring of 1969, Rev. Byron Howlett of Dartmouth was invited to assist the pastor in evangelistic services. Again in the spring of 1971 Rev. and Mrs. Fred Gay of l’lazelbrook came and assisted in special services. All these services proved helpful and enriching. A goodly number each time responded to the challenge, and having accepted Christ as Saviour, were baptized into the fellowship of the Churcaes. In all forty-one were baptized and received in the Churches during this pastorate.

Mr. Sinnott resigned and left the Field in October of 1971, to be succeeded by Rev. Arthur Willis. who had served the North River Pastorate in l’. E. I. for several years.

During the last year of his pastorate here, Mr. Sinnott was hon<red by Acadia University with a Doctor of Divinity Degree, bestoved upon him at the May Convocation. 1971. He was also honored Wllh a reception held in the Port Williams Church Hall on the occasiO': of completing forty years of service in the Christian Ministry.
