     very fine collection of historical records and memorabilia of Island 
     
     congregations and missionary societies. In the Minister’s Vestry is 
     
     located a similar case housing the Communion Set in silver plate, a 
     
     memorial to the late Daniel Stewart, Elder. This service and the two

     and now stands in our Kirk Hall. The Elders’ Chairs on either side of 
     
     the Holy Table are a memorial tribute from the Kirk Auxiliary to Mrs. 
     
     Ina Gillan Beer; the Minister’s Chair, in matching mahogany, the gift

     Morrison, Chairman of the Trustees and Building Committee during 
     
     the erection of the present Church; the oak Lectern is the gift of Mrs. 
     
     A. E. Duff, and the matching Pulpit bears tribute to the late J. E. B. 
     
     McCready (1838-1930). 
     
    
   
   
    
     The oak Hymn Boards are the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Sadler; 
     
     the two new oak Communion Token Trays are the gift of a former 
     
     Session Clerk, Mr. N. D. MacLean, J. P., and were fashioned by him- 
     
     self to match the two older trays still in use. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Organ, A Casavant Freres’ instrument, was built and de- 
     
     dicated in 1957 “to the Glory of God and in grateful tribute to the 
     
     men and women of this Congregation who throughout the years have 
     
     served and sacrificed for Christ’s cause, and in honoured memory of 
     
     those who in the armed forces laid down their lives in the service of 
     
     their country’ ’. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Bible and the blue silk markers on the lectern are the gift of 
     
     the retired Church Officer, Frederick Smith, a tribute to three of his 
     
     friends, J. R. Burnett, D. A. MacKinnon, and A. E. Morrison, all of 
     
     whom were Elders during his period of service to this Congregation. 
     
     The Bible was given and dedicated in October, 1953.

     Greek Cross in gold, are the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne C. Callbeck. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Brass Adornments of the Holy Table are all gifts to the Con- 
     
     gregation; the Alms Basin and Offering Plates were donated by the 
     
    
   
   
    
     late Colonel Moodie of Hamilton. The plates now serve in the Church 
     
     School, and have been replaced by larger offering plates which
