 OCCASIONAL PAPER NO. 9.- WOBK NOETH OF WOODSTOCK. 
 
 ^T the last meeting of the General Committee of ^he Diocesan 
 . Church Society, a new Mission was added to the list of 
 prospective Missions under the title of « Gordon and Lome " 
 These are the names of two civil parishes on the river Tobiquo and 
 as they are not much known to the members of the SociTy Ime 
 information about them and their neighbourhood may be Leful 
 S nee the meeting .f the General Committee the Bishop Coadjutor 
 has spent a fortnight driving over the district in which « Gohbox 
 and We" are situate, with the missionary, Mr. Hovt and th^ 
 paper will give some account of his visit, wit'h a sho7t plpLatol

 the extent of the work to be clone, which calls for not only one, but 
 at least three more clergymen. 
 
 The two missionaries were at Andover ready for the start on 
 Saturday, August 8. On Sunday morning the Bishop preached at 
 Andover Church and communicated 28 people. In the afternoon 
 they drove down to Bairdsville, where the Bishop preached to a 
 numerous congregation, the majority of which was composed of 
 young men. After service they drove on to Riviere de Chute, a'ld 
 then fen-ied across the River St. John to Upper Kent, where in a 
 large room in Mr. Miller's house service was held, and the Bishop 
 preached to 52 persons in the room, while others were in the passage 
 and others outside who could not get in, for "there was no room to 
 receive them, no not so much as about the door." 
 
 The next day (August 10, Monday), driving up the Eastern side 
 of the river, the missionaries crossed the bridge at Andover and 
 drove up to 
 
 FOUR FALLS or AROOSTOOK, 
 
 at the mouth of the Augeanquopsporegan, unpoetically called 
 Limestone liiver across the border. This settlement is in the civil 
 parish of Grand Falls, but is not visited by the missionary at Grand 
 Falls, whose Mission is not co-extensive with the civil parish. Here 
 there are no less than 30 Church families, nearly as many as there 
 are in Grand Falls and Little Falls together under the care of the 
 missionary. The people are anxious to build a Church ; they have 
 the lumber and $100 in the bank, and there is no difficulty about the 
 site. But they still hope for settled services and some clergyman to 
 take the lead in the building. Service was held in a small em{»ty 
 store, which was filled to the full with 58 persons, while one who 
 was outside said that the number of those who stood outside the 
 open door and window was larger than of those within. The Bishop 
 preached and baptized 5 children. The room was very hot indeed, 
 with little ventilation. An alarm of fire directly after service drew 
 off the congregation very rapidly, otherwise a meeting was to have 
 been held to discuss the ways and means of building a church. It is 
 said that there are many here who should be confirmed if there was 
 any one to prepare them for that holy rite. It is an old settlement, 
 and the grants of land date from 1825. After service the 
 missionaries drove down in the black darkness to Aroostook 
 Junction, where they passed the night. 
 
 On Tuesday the river St. John was crossed in a perilous ferry. 
 The high spring freshet had not only swept the boat away from its 
 moorings and carried it off down the river, but it had also washed

 On their return to Three lin.oks the missionaries held servi.T in 
 a 1 resbyterian Kirk geui^rously pia,-,.,! at their <lisposal ; and the 
 Jiishop (..adjutor preaehed to an attentive eongreiration, thouL'li 
 Bt'veral violent Hcpialls („„,. of extreme vi(.lenee) Im the afternoon 
 ftiid evening probably thinned the numbers; about thirty were present. 
 
 On Saturday August If.tli, the pair ha.l their hardest drive, not 
 HO much troni the horizontal distance passed over (for the chain 
 would only have tol.l twenty miles), but porhapH a nearly e.Mial 
 distance was accomplished vertically, in conscfiuence of the jumps 
 an<l bounds taken in passing over poles, and logs, and slaU 
 uneiuMimbered with earth. It was the most tirin.r drive ever 
 experienced by liishop Kingdon : .Mr. Il..yt rather liked it, and at 
 Its close started tor a round of |»aro(hial visits on foot. 
 
 From Three Brooks they drove down the Tobiciue, and crossing 
 over to the South Bank turned up to the .settlement of 
 
 BED liAPIDS, 
 
 which is in the p.arishes of Gokim.x and Pkutii. Here thev visited 
 Mr. iMiiiiis Scales, the son of one of our oldest and worthiest 
 missionaries, who has a farm beautifully situate and very fertile He 
 18 hoping to put up a little Church on the spur of a hill, wheVe he 
 first savv the Bishop Coadjutor when he paid them a visit two years 
 ago, bef(H;e the road had reached so far. The site is certainly verv 
 
 commanding, and a Church here would be 
 
 seen for a very lontr 
 
 distance. In the afternoon the two travellers drove over wiiat was 
 euphemistically called a road to 
 
 BIRCH RIDGE. 
 
 The drive was very trying to the animate and inanimate moveables 
 concerned. Once when the pair ((uitted the wagon for feai of 
 danger to their necks, the other moveables were inclined to follow 
 then-example. Mr. Iloyt went first, leading the horse, the Bislioi) 
 Coadjutor brought up the rear and picked up the stra^rsrlcrs. 
 Luckily no service had been arranged for Saturday evening. 
 B- ^V^i"'^^'**^ morning service was held in the School House on 
 IJirch Ridge. There were 102 present, who were very attentive and 
 devout. Ihe Bishop preached, and confirmed four persons: and 
 communicated 16 besides the clergy. The Bishop had his travelling 
 communion service with him ; and the beautiful old En<Tlish oak 
 reredos, with the embroidered fair linen, and elegant silve* vessels 
 made the service Church-like, though the plaster on the walls was 
 broken and dirty, and the seats were rough boards supported on 
 chunks oi wood. It wa^i a very pleasant and impressive service,

 Al'tiT Nervicf the liiNliop ComljiilDr visited the HjM»t where it Ih 
 proposed to build a Chureli. The site \n well choneii, the view is 
 I>aiioramic, and a Church huilt here would In- a landmark for miles 
 around. The view is very irlorious. '{'he roHliii^ forests with the 
 various <'learin<,'s eover many hills; the lines of the Tol»i(|ue and St. 
 John rivers eould he easily tra»'ei|, and to make the scem-ry |ierfect 
 of its kind there was only wantinjr a i^limpsc of water; this |ii'rha|»s 
 may he had when further cIcarinLjs are made. The; foresiLjht of 'Sir. 
 Ifoyt has secured some land which perhaps may hecome >rlel)i' if so 
 re(|uirtMl; this land adj(»ins the site chosen f(»r the Church. Since 
 this visit tlicre has heen a "frolic" and the site has hccn prepared, 
 and the walls of a Church have begun to rise. 
 
 In the afternoon a drive of si.vteen miles lironght them to 
 Andover, whence they had started a week before, where the Hishop 
 preached and continued three persons. 
 
 On Monday morning a start was made down the river St. John, 
 and liaving stop]»ed for dinner at Mr. Miller's, ITpper Kent (where 
 service was helcl eight days before), the missionaries drove on to 
 Muixpiart, where they were entertained by one who three years 
 before h:, I lodged JJishop Kingdon in Douglas Harbour, (Jrand 
 Lake. The next morning (Tuesday) they drove on to 
 
 BEAUFORT, 
 
 wheie they found that a woman had just died, leaving seven chil*iren 
 motherless. There wa.s no clergyman to attend her in he» hvst 
 moments. Service was lield in the School House, where the Jjishop 
 Coadjutor i)reached to about 3;") persons. This settlement iias been 
 greatly disheartened and thrown back by the death of its founder, 
 Mr. Beauf<)rt Mills; but the land is good, and there is now a chance 
 of better times. Here again Mr. Mills' successor is anxious to build 
 a Church, and the site is forthcoming and ifllOO are in the Savings' 
 Bank; and when the Mission of Aberdeen is ayain filled the Chui-ch 
 may be built in j)ros|)erous times. 
 
 On the morrow (Wednesday, August 19) the Bishoj) Coadjutor 
 baptized two children and buried ^Nlrs. Lee, Mr. Hoyt and the 
 Bishop both giving addresses on the occasion. Thry then drove on 
 amidst persistent and vigorous rain to 
 
 ESDRAELON, 
 
 where tliey stayed the night. In the evening service was held in 
 the Presbyterian Kirk at Glassville, very kindly placed at their 
 disposal. The Bishop preached to more than 120, and baptized four 
 children. There are many Church families here (in the neighbourhood 
 there are 35 Church families, besides scattered mcmb >rs), and they 
 are desirous of building a Church, the only (juestion being about the 
 location of the site. Again there are Church families in a settlement 
 hereabouts which could not now be visited, and it is quite possible 
 that it m.-xy he found advisaV>le to build a Church in each of two 
 centres seven miles apart.
