Not much record remains of this early church in Hants Co., Nova Scotia. It must have entered into the thrilling movement that carried the Disciples along after the coming of Benjamin Howard--an American evangelist, whose individual ability to win others to N.T. views was remarkable. W. W. Eaton, in The Christian, October, 1839, reports that a church was founded here by either Howard or possibly John Doyle. They were in the excitement of new spiritual impulses, and Eaton suggested that the 200 then known members in Nova Scotia, by contributing six pence per week, could sustain three evangelists in the field. But, this was not done. The sweeping in of the kingdom truly depends upon the co-operation and greatness of the faith of believers. It was so in Christ's time. We are sometimes content with small results. It is undoubted that Falmouth made its contribution to the whole cause.
