window, placed in the west gable, in memory of Rev. Samuel MacLeod; and a group of three windows were placed in the main sanctuary as a memorial, by the family of George Davies.

Ifthere is one thing that Pastor Zenas Fash is remembered for in Charlottetown, it is his encouragement and personal efforts to see the church install its first pipe organ. There is no evidence that the old foot-pump organ, upgraded seventeen years earlier with the encouragement of organist Prof. William Hawley, had been further improved. Pastor Fash, with great musical appreciation, felt the music worship of his church was important enough to make this major improvement. The cost of the big organ and its installation was $2,925 and Pastor Fash personally raised a large portion of it through subscriptions. When installed, it was one of the finest musical instruments in the city. On December 12, 1911, the Charlottetown Baptist Church dedicated their beautiful new water-powered Casavant Pipe Organ, adding powerful volume and a deep new sound of praise to their worship services. The only casualties of the installation were the three memorial windows for George Davies, which had to be moved. They were re-installed in the church sanctuary when space became available, in 1932. The dedication service for the new pipe organ included a recital by Prof. Hiram Ball of Moncton, with special selections by Professor Watkin as well as regular and supply Organists Mrs. Campbell, Blanche Bovyer, Amy Earle and Mrs. Ritchie. It was an excellent program and no one in attendance was happier than Pastor Zenas Fash.

One of the hardest working church volunteer groups was still Miss Wadman’s Women’s Missionary Aid Society. Her annual report on the group was a'WaYS popular, mainly because of her enthusiasm and the fact that the group rarely contributed less than $150 annually to missionary funding. in 1912 it reached a high of $168.39, and the clerk’s notes tell us Miss Ada Wadman was so excited She could hardly complete the report. Yes, for the first and only time, we note Miss Wadman’s given name as Ada.

Dr. Ira J. Yeo was chairman of the Music Committee and he gave a glowing reDorton the contribution the new organ made to theweekly servicesand how much the choir appreciated it. He reported that new choir chairs had been purchased at a (05" Of $60, and that $55 had already been recovered from the sale of the old chairs. Dr- Yeo asked the church to be responsible for the difference, and after discussion and a positive vote they agreed to issue a cheque to the Music Committee for 55. D“ YEO, in sarcastic humor, because he was an outspoken individual, Said it was appreciated but he hoped it wouldn’t break the bank. Other members of the Music COmmittee at that time were the organist Miss Blanche Bovyer, Deacon J.K. Ross and Mrs. K. Dockendorff.
