The following is from an Annual Report in Mr Gillies' first charge (Cote des Neiges, Montreal) :—
Since the induction of the Rev. A. C. Gillies, the Church has prospered,—our weekly congregations have been large, the communion roll has been lengthened, and a good many sittings have been let.
Again.:—
Mr. Gillies began a Bible Class of eighteen, which kept increasing, until now it has an average attendance of sixty.
From the Brockville Presbytery (Ontario) :—
The Rev. A. C. Gillies laboured at Lyn and Yonge with marked success.
From the Board of Trustees of St. David's Church, St. John, N.B., Canada :—
Resolved,—That this Board express to the Rev. A. C. Gillies the very great pleasure they have had in his pulpit ministrations during the last five weeks; and further, they earnestly hope that the pastoral charge on which he is about to enter in the neighbouring province may result in a mutual blessing to himself and that congregation.
