1906 was the final year of the Rev. Donald MacLean as Moderator of the 
     
     West Point, Campbellton, Miminegash Charge. From 1906, the emphasis of 
     
     leadership among the Presbyterians seem to flow from the Montrose, 
     
     Presbyterian Church. The pastor in Montrose was the Rev. William A. MacKay, 
     
     B.D. who had assumed that pastorate on November 28, 1905. 
     
    
   
   
    
     4. RECONSTRUCTION OF WESTERN CONGREGATIONS AND REALIGN- 
     
     MENT ' 
     
    
   
   
    
     During a meeting of the RBI. Presbytery on August 28, 1906 in Charlot— 
     
     tetown, the discussion regarding the realignment proposal for preaching appoint- 
     
     ments made no mention of Miminegash although the other appointments are 
     
     noted. At a later meeting of the RBI. Presbytery in Charlottetown on November ' 
     
     6, 1906, Miminegash is included in the statement, “that West Point, the Brae, 
     
    
   
   
    
     Campbellton, and Miminegash be one congregation”. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The following minutes appears in the record of a meeting of the RBI. 
     
     Presbytery held in Summerside on May 27, 1907, “That the Campbellton section 
     
     of the West Point Congregation be added to the Tignish, Montrose, and 
     
     Elmsdale Charge, and Bloomfield, O’Leary, West Point, and the Brae be con- 
     
    
   
   
    
     solidated into one charge”. 
     
    
   
   
    
     It seems that although Miminegash is mentioned in the final plans for 
     
     realignment, it is not included. Noting that a year later, the Presbytery initiated 
     
     action to dispose of the church property in Miminegash, it would seem probable 
     
     that there was no functioning congregation in Miminegash at the time of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     realignment in 1907. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A procedure was followed to the effect that a Presbytery Committee met 
     
     with each of the several Charges to ascertain their interests in the realignment. At 
     
    
   
   
    
     West Point on May 20, 1907, Mr. W. MacNeill appeared on behalf of the Camp— 
     
     bellton Presbyterian Church and reported that that section of the congregation 
     
     had passed a resolution in favor of the union of the Campbellton section with the 
     
     congregation of Elmsdale, Montrose, and Tignish. 
     
    
   
   
    
     5. DISCUSSION OF THE MIMINEGASH CHURCH PROPERTY 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Rev. William A. MacKay resigned his pastorate on October 23, 1908 
     
     and the following month on November 3, 1908, a meeting of the RBI. 
     
     Presbytery took place in Charlottetown regarding the problem of the church pro- 
     
     perty in Miminegash. Since there was no minister at either the Campbellton 
     
     Presbyterian Church or the Montrose Presbyterian Church, the P.E.I. 
     
     Presbytery turned to the Alberton Presbyterian Church for help in this matter. A 
     
     Committee on Church Property, consisting of the Rev. George Millar, E.M. 
     
     MacDonald, and Benjamin Rogers, was appointed to meet and consult with the 
     
     local members of the Miminegash Presbyterian Church in regard to the church 
     
    
   
   
    
     property in Miminegash.
