Historical Sketch Following is the text of Mr.

Nicholson's address on the history of the Hartsviile Church and

u“ congregation:

Mr. Chairman. honored ladies and gentlemen. Reluctantlv I have accepted the

RIICSLS,

W. task of writing and reading fol

you a history of Hartsville Pres- byterian Chilrch or as it was called in the days of yore the Btrathslbyn congregation.

While my task has been some- what difflcult because of the fact that many of the, old records of the church have been either lost or destroyed, nevertheless it was a task in which I have felt a very keen interest, for at least three reasons. First. this is the church of my forefathers. secondly it was the church in which I was brought up. Where from zny earliest rec- ollections I attended its services of worship until as a young man lelit the province. Lastly I have a keen interest in the history of Hartsvilie Church because if is now the church hi which I labour for the lilaster, as an under shepherd o! the flock, and ‘ere I close those introductory re- marks I want to say that I am proud of the fact that I am one of the sons of I-‘artsville.

From Isle 0| Sky

Early in the summer of i831 a number of families, emigrated from the Isle of Skye and settled in Flprington. During the years the pccpie had no means of.Gr:tce among However Mr. James Nicholson for a number cf years held prayer house and Roderick McIntosh: meetings alternatively in his own every Sabbath. where he read and expounded the word to those who desired to come and hear him.

During the sumrner of 1985 the Rev. Robert S. Patterson of Be- deque visited the Scotch Settle- ment as it was called. and preach- ed a sermon in the open air nee: James Nicholson's house. on which occasion he baptized several chil- (iren; and during the some sum- mer Rev. John MncLennan of Belfast, P. E. 1.. visited the Set- tlement. In i837 Rev. Donald MacDonald visited the settlement and four years later held prayer meetings in Donald lvlacleocrs house. .

‘ celebration closed with a Thanks-

of Scotch Settlement. These late arrivals settled in what is now called Hartsviile, Johnston Road, Int 1'2. P-ose Valivl! and Let 61.

Among these lsbe arrivals were a number of God-fearing‘ men who were converted ~umler t e preach- inlr of such men as Dr. Roderick Maclleod of Skye. Dr. Kennedy of Red Castle Roy Mr. Richards and Dr. MacDonald of Fsrintosh.

As it has ever been. when men have been transformer. by the Grace, of God and brcuglht to s, saving knowledge in to Lord Jesus Christ they became solic- itous of the salvation of their fel- low travellers to eternity. Among the group which came in '30 Alex- ander MacLec-d was the foremost as a Christian lc-spcr. r im- mediately after his arrival he ba- llan holding religious meetings, not only in the Spring house. ut. also in vate housiis lIl the different lol- ities in which his countrymen hod settled. often breaching Jurartg the summer months in open slr or in groves of ivooda.

Further Accession

In the summer of 1840-41 there were still a fut-titer accession of some seventy families emi- grants froln Scotland who Joined their old neighbors settllnG in the western section of Rose Valley, Johnston's Road East Brookfleltl, West Lille Rood. East Line Roadh Hazel Grove. Iohriswn Road, Coi-' ville Road,_ and Dock Road. Among these newcomers were men

_ "ty. notably the late

an of pious and im- mortal memory, afterwards an Eider of liartsviie Church for is v-tars, and hflzrdock Buchanan who was one of the Elders who made up the firs; session in the formation cf the Strathallbyil congregation. the anniversary of which we are celebrating today. And I may also mention besides these two men the name of Orly own grandfather. Donald Nichol- son, who WEIS note-d among his brethren for his piety and knowi- cdge of the Scri tures and who served as an cl er of I-iartsviiie Church for o9 years. His grand- son, Neil Nicholson and great grandson Jshli MacLennan are serving as elders at the present time.

There were two other men be- sides the afore mentioned that were used of God in the convers- ion uf a number cf men and wo- men who afterwards became pil- lars and shining lights in the congregation. These were, namely, Murdock MacL-eod of New London, and lVir. John MacNeill. Mr. Mac- Neiil had beenssnt out from Glas- gow. Scotland. in i830 by the soc- iety for the propagation of Christ- ian knowlerlgr, and after mmainlnp in Cape Breton for a few years; moved to this Island and settled in Bannockburn where his Ohris-, tian influence was felt for good, among the. scattered Presbyter-i ian families of that and adjacent. settlements.

Through the Mmlstry of these‘ laymen the founders of this church became such students of God's word and so "wcll acquainted with the questions the: were agitating the mother churc‘; that at thc time of the disruption this peo- ple unhesitatingiy decided to throw in their lot with the‘ free church party.

Church Erected In the slimmer of 1844's pub-

was unanimously agreed to com-

was let to a man by the name of‘ John MacKenzie of Plctou, NS

MacKenzie prepared the materi- ais and in the fo‘lowicg spring of

had so rapidly progressed that to- wards the first of July the out- side of the building was finish-

ed.

Before the floor was laid in it a Mr. MCMllLlll from Scotland. preached a sermon therein. the people settled on the floor beams‘. Later the floor was laid and the pulpit was built. Mr. MecKem-le went to N. B, leaving the interior to be completed some years later.

The first church was of con- siderable size. lt was 35 feet by 45 with o twenty foot post. It had two large windows in each side and one large window in each gable end to give light to the gal- leries, and it had a door at each end: When well seated it would ‘hold from five to six hundred people. FJI some years after it was built the seats consisted of pieces of scantling and boards resting on blocks of wood.

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was cit‘; erased for the first timeln July B45 by the Rev. Alexander Farquhorson of Midd River. Cape Breton, and was as- sisted by the Rev. Murdock Stew- art. also of Cape Breton. As hun dreds of people came together from different parts of the Island celebrate the solemn occasion the

The next minister that visited the congregation was Rev. Mr. Sinclair of West Cape, followed by Rev. John Stewart of New Glasgow, Rev. Di. MacLeod Sydney. Cape Bret-m. and in i848 the Rev. John MacTavfsh, a

Shetland. And about this same time the Rev. Dr. D. B. Blair of Barney's Mills, N. 5., visited the congregation. also Rev Dr. For- rester.

The first ordained missionary was Rev. Alexander Maclnttyro, who came ftoin Scotland in 184B. and was stationed between Brown's Creek Nev: London. and the Scotch Settlement for about three years.

Ilrlt Regular Minister

The first regular ordained min- lst-er settled liver the congregation was Rev. Aletsnder Sutherland in the year i862. Mr. Sutherland was an able preacher of the gos- pel and laboured on for seven years aocomplishinu much good for the Master.
