Corey , a native of Moncton, New Brunswick , who would serve the Charlottetown Baptist Church as its minister for the next five years. Pastor Corey was a graduate of Acadia University and had also attended the Newton Theological Seminary. The Charlottetown Baptist Church appointed two new deacons in 1894, their 8th and 9th since 1836, honoring long-time dedicated members George Scantlebury and J.K. Ross . Looking at the church's membership lists in the mid to late 19th century, it is amazing how many surnames continue to be seen on member rolls to this day; family names like Burhoe, MacGregor, Ross, Bishop, Brown, Robinson, MacKenzie, MacLean and Yeo , to name just a few. No doubtfamily connections have become remote through time, but family surnames surviving for over a century and a half is both interesting and a credit to the strong faith that families have maintained in one Charlottetown church. Baptists lost their big pump organ in the fire of 1888. When the new church opened in 1891, a new smaller organ was purchased for $50, but five years later it was not deemed adequate. Miller Brothers , the local Charlottetown music store who provided the first big organ, was encouraging the church to spend $100 to upgrade to a top model. At a summer church meeting in 1896, a motion was made to spend the money to improve their quality of music. Even though they realized it was necessary, some thought it was too much to spend and amended the motion to make the maximum expenditure $50. The meeting settled the discussion by agreeing that they would leave the choice up to their organist. Prof. William A . Hawley . Professor Hawley was the second organist the church had employed and was the catalyst in encouraging the upgrading. He had handed in his resignation, perhaps because of the concern, but the trustees would not accept it and pacified the situation by allowing Hawley to deal with Miller Brothers for the organ upgrade. According to the final purchase motion, he was not to spend less than $50 or more than $100. We can not imagine Professor Hawley going for the lesser amount, and the fact that he remained as organist for some time indicates he was able to get the instrument he desired. The first organist recorded in the Charlottetown Baptist Church was a lady who played in the octagonal church prior to the fire. She is noted only as a Miss Rebecca Scott . In the late 19th century, « there was a trend in Charlottetown for newly built churches to change from wood to brick or sandstone. Saint Paul's Anglican built a new sandstone church in 1894 beside their old wooden church on , which was demolished two years later.This left only St. Dunstan's Cathedral on Great and Presbyterian on as the remaining wooden church buildings in the city, and both were considering plans to build a new brick or stone structure. Illumination in publrc buildings throughout the 19th century was always a challenge. In our history of the Charlottetown Baptist Church, apart from occasional grumbling from those directly responsible, there is little reference to it except for an occasional note in the minutes when candles, oil or gas had to be purchased.
