Rev. "this do in | remembrance | ok mb." | r. cor. xi.24. within lieaded lines wilh ornamental corners, oblong 

 cut corners, 19 x 27 m. 



This is a town, or more properly a suburb of Halifax, across the harbour from that city. The first pastor was 

 the Rev. James Morrison, sent out in 1827, by the Glasgow Colonial Society in connection with the Church of 

 Scotland. The church is now in the Union. 



81. DoDQLASs, (Shubenacadie.) 



Obv. EEV,n I A. Dick | Douglass | 1803. 



Eev. Plain, square, with the inscription running diagonally, 22 m. 



This church was organized by the Rev. Dr. McGregor, under whose supervision it continued until the arrival 

 of the Rev. Alexander Dick, in 1802. In 1803 Mr. Dick was ordained by the newly organized I'resbytery of 

 Pictou, and was therefore the first Presbyterian Minister regularly ordained in the province. His charge covered 

 a large distiiet known as the township of Douglass, which included Shubenacadie, Noel, Maitland, Nine Mile 

 River, Gore and Gray's River. The township has since been subdivided leaving Shubenacadie, the central church, 

 outside its boundarie;. 



82. Earltown. 



Obr. TO THE I Kirk Congregations | of | Eaet.town | and | West Branch, R. J. | by | rev. W. M'. Millan. 



lier, "this do in | remembrance | of me." | i. cor. xi.24. within beaded lines with ornamental corners, 

 oblong cut corners, 19 x 27 m. 



This place was settled, from Sutherlandshire, about the year 1815. As the people had been mainly adherents 

 of the Church of Scotland before emigrating, they kept up their old connection without any regularly appointed 

 Kirk minister, although they were for a time under the charge of the Rev. Alex. Sutherland who was not of that 

 connection. At the disruption most of the members joined the Free Church ; still a number held to the Kirk and 

 these were ministered toby the Rev. William McMillan whose name appears on the token. Both the congrega- 

 tions at Earltown and West Branch River John refused to join the Union ; although since the Free Church was 

 formed, the two denominations worship in the same building. 



83. Economy. 



Obv. A. Kerr's | congreg^ | oeconomy 



Fev. Plain, oblong rounded corners, 19 x 23 m. 



This place was occasionally -visited by the Rev. John Brown, of Londonderry, until the settlement of tlie Rev. 

 Andrew Kerr, in 1S17. He belonged to the Antiburgher section of the Secession Church. It may be noticed that 

 " Oeconomy " is spelled with an initial 0. 



84. Elmsdale. 



Obv. A communion table bearing a chalice and a plate of bread, underneath is the inscription this do | in 



remembrance I OF ME ] LUKE 22.19 



Hev. God forbid | that i should | glory, save in | the cro.ss of our | Lord Jesus Christ, | by whom the 



WORLD 1 is crucified UNTO | MB, AND I UNTO | THE WORLD. | GAL. C 6. V 14, round, 22 m. 



After the death of Mr. Dick the Douglass Church was divided. The division of which Elmsdale was the 

 centre had the Rev. Robert Blackwood as the first minister. 



8.5. Gairloch. 



Obv. A four pointed starlike figure, indented. 



Eev. Plain, oblong round corners, 22 x 25 m. 



This was a settlement from Gairlock in Scotland, hence the name. The congregation became connected with 

 the Church of Scotland, which connection, like most of the Kirk congregations of Pictou, it still retains. The 

 design is one of the simplest. The token is, doubtless, 60 years old. 



8l). Greenhill. > 



Obv. SALEM CHURCH. | GBEBXHiLL. | 1850. withiu beaded lines with ornamental corners. 



Rev. THIS DO IN I REMEMBRANCE | OF ME. | I. COR. XI.24. within beaded lines with ornamental corners, oblong cut 

 corners, 19 x 27 m. 



The church formed, up to 1848, a part of the West River congregation when the charge was sub-divided. The 

 Rev. George Patterson, D.D-, the historian of the county of Pictou, ordained in 1849, was appointed its first 

 minister.
