Rev. A rude representation of the burning bush, nearly round, 28 x 30 m. 



This congregation was organized as a Congregational Church by tlie " dissenters " of Halifax, and was com- 

 posed mainly of Congregationalists and Presbyterians. The first pastor was the Rev. Aaron Cleveland, installed 

 1750. He afterwards removed to the United States, of which his great-great grandson is now President. 

 On the breaking out of the revolution in the thirteen colonies to the south mcst of the Congregational 

 ministers of Nova Scotia, as sympathizers with the movement, left their charges; and as some of them were 

 replaced by Presbyterians the congregations joined the Presbytery. The first Presbyterian minister settled over 

 the Halifax congregation was the Rev. Thos. Russell, who came out in 1783. After continued disputings between 

 the two parties in the congregation the diflieulty was settled, in 1787, by the Congregationalists agreeing to accept 

 a Presbyterian minister chosen by the Principal of the Edinburgh University; while the Presljyterians yieliied 

 the point that the church should remain independent of the Presbytery. The first minister, ciiosen under this 

 agreement, was the Rev. Andrew Brown, installed 1787. The church continued independent until 1840 when it 

 joined the Presbytery.

A Free Church was organized in Halifax in 1843 with the Rev. Ralph Robb as their first minister- This 

 church was built in the north end, but afterwards a new building known as C'halmer's Church, was built in the 

 centre of the city. When the congregation removed to the new place a party broke off and \\or8hipped in the
