Quiet ministry -

the induction of Reverend
Samuel Kerr to the Cromarty and
Exeter charges worked out well for
the Cromarty congregation, as it
was the fust time since 1925 that
there was a feeling of security. In
the fall of 1989 there was a full
Sector Programme with Exeter and
Cromarty participating with the
other Protestant denominations in
the area. This seemed to give the
whole area a boost.
In 1961, Rev. Kerr received a call
to Embro and by April of 1962
Rev. John C. Boyne was inducted.
The manses of Exeter and Cromarty
had been sold and the 'present
manse was built. Things seemed to
be going well, but Henan Was

and gained much favour, getting a
good response from the Hensall
congre tion. The Huron Presbytery
appealed to Suatfordforassistance

Hensall was taken over as a three-
point charge. The student idea
worked well for about two years,
and then a different student came.
One Sunday, he got paid at Exeter
and while the Cromarty
congregation sat waiting, he skipped
the countryside. He has not been
seen since, and word has it that he
quit the ministry. A good thing.
In December 1968, Mr. Boyne
resigned and Reverend Wilfred
Jarvis was welcomed in July, 1969.
From then until April 1977, Mr.
Jarvis left the charge and it
remained vacant until Reverend
Knight was inducted at Exeter on
December 14, 1978. During the
long vacancy, Rev. Douglas Fox
from Huron college occupied the
pulpit on any occasions.
Rev. Jarvis got the Boy Scout
movement going in the Cromarty
area, and it has continued strongly
since.
When Rev. Jarvis accepted the
call to the Exeter, Cromarty and
Henson he felt that he Could have
