the first Canadian to occupy this office. A native of Toronto, he was ordained by the Presbytery of Westminister in the City of Vancouver in 1939, where he served under appointment until proceeding to Union Theological Seminary for post-graduate work the following year. From that institution he was called to the Kirk and served as its Minister until his death on June 24th, 1965. His love of people, intellectual genius and diligence to and beyond his ministerial responsibilities, have given him a place so woven into the common life of this congre- gation that his touch cannot be mistaken in all that surrounds it.

The Reverend Malcolm Adams McCuaig, B.A., B.D., D.Min., served the Kirk from 1965 to 1972. Born in Montreal, Dr. McCuaig is a graduate of Sir George Williams University and the Presbyterian College, both of that city. Upon graduation in 1961 he proceeded to the northern mining community of Thompson, Manitoba, where he established a Presbyterian congregation. He then served the pastoral charge of Carberry-Wellwood, Manitoba, for two years prior to coming to Charlottetown. He is presently Minister of Knox Church, Ottawa. Dr. McCuaig gave faithful and distinguished service to the affairs of both the congregation and community. The Rev. A. G. Faraday, C.D., M.A., later the Minister of St. Andrew’s Church, Penticton, BC. and now retired in Victoria, BC. was Interim-Minister during a study leave granted to Dr. McCuaig in 1969-70.

The present Minister, the Rev. John Robert Cameron, B.A., B.D., D.D., came to the Kirk in November of 1972. A native of New Glasgow, N .S., Mr. Cameron is a graduate of Acadia University and The Presbyterian College, Montreal. He was previously Minister of St. Andrew’s, Dartmouth and Musquodoboit Harbour, N .S. for five years and St. Andrew’s Lunenburg, NS. for eleven. For three of these years he also served St. Andrew’s Church, Rose Bay, N.S. In 1981 he was

awarded an honourary doctorate from Presbyterian College in Montreal.

That you, as a visitor to this historic and beautiful Church, may be richly blessed as your sojourn here and worship with us is the earnest hope and desire of its People, its Office-bearers and its Minister.

“The Lord preserve thy going out and they coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
