In the year 1805, in answer to a petition from Sheffield, the Rev. James MacGregor, a Presbyterian minister of Pictou, visited the River St. John, and has left us an entertaining account of his visit. He stopped at a house not far below the Grand Lake, where the following colloquy with the good woman of the house ensued.
Woman—Who are you?
Doctor—I am James MacGregor, a minister from Pictou.
Woman—Are you a Methodist?
Doctor—No.
Woman—Are you Church of England?
Doctor—No.
Woman—Then you must be a New-Light.
Doctor—No, I am not a New-Light.
Woman—Then what in the world are you, for I do not know any more?
