Re-opening services were held on the first two Sundays of January (5th and 12th) with six ministers of various denominations present. The ministers were: Rev. Isaac Murray , D.D . of the Upper Prince Street Presbyterian Church, Rev. Kenneth MacLennan Ph . D. of the Kirk of St. James, Rev. R. MacDonald , Baptist, Rev. John Lathern of First Methodist(now Trinity United) and Rev. W.S. Pascoe , Methodist Pastor, as well as our minister Rev. J. McL MacLeod. There were 104 pews in the church. Costs for the enlargement were over $5,000.00. 1880 It is recorded that 99 persons are now using the envelope system. 1883 Samuel C. Nash was listed, on August 30, as Clerk of Session on reconstructed baptism records of the church, after the Fire (see 1884). On October 1, 1883, the Bank of Nova Scotia took over the operations at the Union Bank Building. A committee of Presbytery met with the congregation of the Upper Prince Street Presbyterian Church, deciding to close the Church, as they were only able to provide $400.00 annually for the minister and were in fact in arrears to the late minister, Rev. Isaac Murray , and the payments on the manse were just enough for interest. 1884 A fire destroyed most of the church records to this date. The records were stored away from the church for save keeping, and it was this block of buildings up the street that sustained the fire. (The Richmond block between Queen and George which burned contained three-quarters of all the doctors and lawyers in Charlottetown ). This block was then replaced with the present brick buildings. 1885 After a great deal of earnest discussion and nine years of patient waiting, until the conscientious scruples of the weaker brethren died out, a good pipe organ was at last introduced. This added materially to the efficiency of the musical and praise department of the worship. 1886 In compliance with a request from the Session of Zion Church, Messrs. Meikle and Gerrior, evangelists, came to Charlottetown and held daily meetings in their tent, which would seat about two thousand people, and was always crowded to its utmost capacity. A revival flowed through the churches and the City. Zion Church accepted new membership of 30 by certificate and 130 by profession. Communion reported on September 30 as having 350 communicants who sat down at the Lord's Table, 130 of them being new communicants. Rev. John M . McLeod was confined to his house in December for a few weeks with a "sharp attack of sciatica". Filling in was Rev. William R . Frame, currently editor of the Guardian. 26-
