The church now enters the first year of its second century, and the
officers who are now in charge of its destinies, and who will
maintain its best traditions for harmony, service and progress are:—
Pastor—Rev. P. J. Stackhouse B. D.
Pastor Emeritus—Rev. D. A. Steele D. D.
Church Missionary—Miss Alice Logan
Assistant Pastor—Rev. J. T. Dimock
Clerk—W. S. Porteous
Treasurer—G. B. Smith
Deacons—J. M. Layton, Wm. Read, Samuel Freeman, J. Avard Black, D. W.
Freeman, B. J. Lawson, M. M. Tingley, J. A. Christie, and W. W.
Black.
Deacons at the out-stations—W. O. Logan, Salem; Alex Clegg, East
Amherst; and Amos S. Logan, Amherst Point.
Thus was carried out a programme embracing the essential points, but
how much was left out only those know who have had to perform like
services. The history of a Church, with its struggles, its plannings,
its difficult questions, as well as in its days of victory, cannot be
places on paper not uttered in speech.
