Alberton — Elmsdale Pastoral Charge, 1974 - 1975 Harvey Station Pastoral Charge Mono Mills Pastoral Charge

In a letter Rev. Todd writes: “Since September, 1980 I have been spending half my time as associate minister at St. James Centennial United Church in Parry Sound and the other half with the Ojibway Indians at Parry Island and Shawanaga.

Although I only served the Alberton-Elmsdale Pastoral Charge in P.E.I. for one year I always remember the muddy roads in the spring, and whether I could make it over to Miminegash and Campbellton and back in time. I also recall the faithfulness of the people in those two communities to support and maintain their churches. It is something I have not forgotten.

I pray that the work of Christ will continue to be furthered by his faithful servants in Campbellton and Miminegash with a steadfast fervency and a deepening

joy throughout the years.””
