The history of the Anglican Church in Canada is also Iargcly onc of Scotsmen and Ulsicr Scotsmen. Irut it is more than this. It slrotvs that ihc Anglican Church in early Canada o~rcdnlzlcll to the old Church of Scotland ; (or, strnngc to say, many of the leading clergy of the Churclt in Canada and thc AIaritimc Provinces were 325 originaIly Presbyterians, or the sons of Presby- rerians. The first bishop of the Anglican Church in Canada {t,*r?san Ulster Scotsmnn, t11c Right Rev. Chnrlcs Ing-lis, of a noted Scottish family in Rox- burgh and Perthshirc, il branch of which had scttlcd in Ulster. Bishop Inglis was tllc third son of the Rev. Archibaltt Inglis, Rector of Clcn and Kilcnrr, Doncgal. The Uishop was born in I 734 in Donegal. He emigrated to America, and conducted a free school at Lancaster, Pcnnsyl- vania, where many Ulster Scotsmen had settled early in the eighteenth century. Studying for Orders, he was ordained by the Bishop of London, ancl returning to America he became a missionary at Dcnvcr, in Delaware. In I 7 6 5 hc was madc assistant of Holy Trinity Church, Nctv York City. Hc was a strong Loyalist, and, removing to Nova Scotia at thc Revolution, ltc was appointed thc first Bishop of that, the original Dioccse of nritish North America. His carecr is dcpicted in the chaptcr on Universities. I-Iis son was after- wards third Bishop of Nova Scotia. The second Bisl~opof Quebcc (or of both Upper and Lower Canada) was also a Scotsman and the member of a great Scottish House. The Hon. and Right Rev. Cllarlcs James Stcmrt, who suc- cceclcd rllc first Bishop Mountain, was a younger son of the Earl of Galloway. Hc was a man of a singular piety and a detcminntion to spend his life lor the furtherance of the cause of Cl~ris- tianitv. Hc came to Canada as a young mis- 3 26 DIPSrotrrntna i?r thr CJt rrrc7tes sionary, and subjected himself to the grcatest prit*ntions in ordcr to carry out his irlmls. Hc bec.unc noted for his seIf-denying character nnrl zeal as a missionary. When he succeeded to thc J3ishopric in rR26, on the death of thc agccl DisI~op Mountain his dioccsc cxtendcd from Gnspc to tllc shores of Lakc I-Iuron. Dut be ncvcr spared him- self, going from one cxtrcmc of this vast territory to the otlrcr, performing his work and cncour:rgil~g tl~cIcw thinly scnttcrorl clergy until his nercr I~:~rtly frame llrokc down undcr thc tcrrildc strain, and in 1837 he went l~omcto die.

In the year 1327 an ecclesiastical chart !was made, showing the number of T'rotestant rlcrp in LTppcr Canada. Of the Estnlslishcd CIlurcPl 337 there were thirty, eleven of whom were of Scottish extraction, and nearly a11 of thesc had been originally Presbyterians. They wcrc Archdeacon Strachan, York : Archdeacon Stuart, Kingston ; REV. Thornas Camphell, I3cllcvillc ; Rcv. Mr. 13urns, Richmoncl ; Rcv. John Grier, Carrying I'lacc ; Rcv. \\'m.

Of thcsc, Archdeacon Strachan was educatcd at St. Andrcw's, ant1 rhc Rcvs. Thornas Cnrnpbcll, John Gsicr, ancl Samuel Arn~ournt Glasgow University. Many of tllcsc tvero lllster Scotsmen-that is, tl~ose~vl~osc families hacl comc from Scotland and hacl livcd in lfEstcr 11rforc emigrating again to Canada. T11c Rcv. Tliomns C,mpl>cll was doubly of that clan, his mothcr l~uln~also a Carnp1)cll of the sanic family as I~is lathcr. The family wcrc a cnclot I~anrhof El~e I-Iousc of Argyll, and came originntty From In- veraray. Thc Rev. blr.
