Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Zion Presbyterian Church: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island From Its Erection to February, 1908 Murray's Hall, and undertook to cover the expenses of' the site and foundation. One of the master builders of that day (heartz Brothers) was their contractor. The superstructure was in the charge, and mostly at the cost, of the Presbytery of Pictou and the body financially known as the Hunter Fund, of Halifax. The contractors were the brothers David and William Fraser, of Pictou, Nova Scotia, and Mr. Murray. The frame of the wooden building was hewn out of the Nova Scotia forests there it was put in frame, then taken apart, carefully marked and numbered, shipped over to Charlotte town, and raised up on the prepared foundation. The building was finished and ready for the pews about the year 1860 or thereabouts. Benches were used for seating accommodation until the congregation was in a position to pay for the placing of the pews (which remain the same) as well as other inside finishings. In addition to the numerically weak state of the worshippers, the already established churches - Free and Kirk gathering in city and country, Presbyterians, lessened the new Church's chances. But the seed sown in Zion continued to grow, and now the increase is there many hundred-fold. Zion Church flourished from the very beginning, through fire, death and desertion, until it stands to-day a power for good and against evil. In these early years the pulpit was occupied for the first service by Rev. Robert Laird, afterwards by Rev. Mr. Mcgillivray, for about six months; both of these clergymen are living at this writing. Various other ministers succeeded, until a call was extended to, and accepted by, Rev. Alexander Falconer, then a young man, who became the first regular pastor in 1862. Mr. Falconer is now a Doctor of Divinity, and is still living and settled in Pictou, Nova Scotia, after forty-six years of active service at home and abroad. He conducted the spiritual affairs of the congregation until its union with the Free Church in 1870, when he sent in his demission; the union seeming to be' the result rather than.

Henry Pilcher constructed his first pipe organ in Dover, England, in 1820. Over a period of almost 125 years, four generations of family members-working first in England and then in the United States-built Henry Pilcher's Sons Organ Company into a business known for its high manufacturing standards. The institution they created placed organs throughout the United States and only saw its end with the outbreak of World War II. This reference volume, rich with previously undiscovered source material, presents a historical synopsis of the family business. Also included is the opus list of Pilcher organs, arranged both chronologically and by region, and published here for the first time. A vital source for Pilcher organ historians and admirers, this volume offers useful data for anyone seeking historical background or information on specific Pilcher organs.

An exploration of the ways a particular religious tradition and a distinct social context have interacted over a 300-year period, including the unique story of the oldest and largest African American Calvinist community in America The South Carolina low country has long been regarded—not only in popular imagination and paperback novels but also by respected scholars—as a region dominated by what earlier historians called “a cavalier spirit” and by what later historians have simply described as “a wholehearted devotion to amusement and the neglect of religion and intellectual pursuits.” Such images of the low country have been powerful interpreters of the region because they have had some foundation in social and cultural realities. It is a thesis of this study, however, that there has been a strong Calvinist community in the Carolina low country since its establishment as a British colony and that this community (including in its membership both whites and after the 1740s significant numbers of African Americans) contradicts many of the images of the "received version" of the region. Rather than a devotion to amusement and a neglect of religion and intellectual interests, this community has been marked throughout most of its history by its disciplined religious life, its intellectual pursuits, and its work ethic.

Both the North and the South viewed the Civil War in Christian terms. Each side believed that its fight was just, that God favored its cause. Rebuilding Zion is the first study to explore simultaneously the reaction of southern white evangelicals, northern white evangelicals, and Christian freedpeople to Confederate defeat. As white southerners struggled to assure themselves that the collapse of the Confederacy was not an indication of God's stern judgment, white northerners and freedpeople were certain that it was. Author Daniel W. Stowell tells the story of the religious reconstruction of the South following the war, a bitter contest between southern and northern evangelicals, at the heart of which was the fate of the freedpeople's souls and the southern effort to maintain a sense of sectional identity. Central to the southern churches' vision of the Civil War was the idea that God had not abandoned the South; defeat was a Father's stern chastisement. Secession and slavery had not been sinful; rather, it was the radicalism of the northern denominations that threatened the purity of the Gospel. Northern evangelicals, armed with a vastly different vision of the meaning of the war and their call to Christian duty, entered the post-war South intending to save white southerner and ex-slave alike. The freedpeople, however, drew their own providential meaning from the war and its outcome. The goal for blacks in the postwar period was to establish churches for themselves separate from the control of their former masters. Stowell plots the conflicts that resulted from these competing visions of the religious reconstruction of the South. By demonstrating how the southern vision eventually came to predominate over, but not eradicate, the northern and freedpeople's visions for the religious life of the South, he shows how the southern churches became one of the principal bulwarks of the New South, a region marked by intense piety and intense racism throughout the twentieth century.
