Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketch of Missionary Proceedings at Cape Breton: From August 1833, to October 1834
Mr. Ste art had been but three weeks in Cape Breton before going to Pictou for ordination. All he saw confirmed entirely the faithful ness of Mr. Farquharson's report, as to the eagerness of the people to hear the word preached, their deep attention, and fervent desire to secure to their settlements the regular ministration of the gospel ordi nances. Mr. Stuvart had already been invited to accept the pastoral charge of some of the settlements, but wished to see more of the Island before fixing, and was very doubtful of the ability of those he visited to maintain a clergyman, from their poverty. Mr. Stewart wrote from Pictou, on the 6th October, when about to sail on his return to Cape Breton an ordained minister, the Moderator having prescribed to him the duty of inducting Mr. Farquharson into his pastoral charge.
