"Leaving Sutton, we went to Stouffville, not far distant and had a few meetings there. The Hamilton Conference being close at hand, we attended it in January, 1881. It was the first conference I ever attended and I retain most savory and happy recollections of it. The preaching brethren were Mr. Donald Ross, James Goodfellow, [[John Smith]], John Bain, A. McKellar, [[Thomas Donald William Muir|T.D.W. Muir]], John Grimason, and John M. Carnie.
Returning home to [[New York]] for a short visit, I afterward went to Boston, where I met and joined our brother John Martin. Together we went to Portland, [[Maine]], for meetings. Later on we had tent meetings in Lawrence, and Lowell, [[Massachusetts|Mass.]]"

** Letters of Interest 1947-1: '''Hugh Cameron Thorpe''' by John T. Dickson
"In 1924 and 1925, brother Thorpe and I were together again in tent work in Brockton, [[Massachusetts|Mass.]], and a few souls were saved during those two seasons. In 1926, we pitched a tent in Windham, Maine, and continued all summer. There was a good interest among the children. In this work, brother Thorpe excelled. The children's meetings increased. There were a few souls saved as the result of that effort. In 1927 Mr. Thorpe had the joy of visiting his old field of labor in Barbados, British West Indies, and his ministry was greatly appreciated. He went on to South America where his visit was a cheer to the missionaries, some of whom had very little outside help, ministering to their little flock for years without a furlough."

** Letters of Interest 1951-12: Frank H. Elliott:
"On July 23, as a result of a brain tumor which all treatments failed to help, Br. Elliott went to be with the Lord he had loved and faithfully served. He had spent the preceding winter in Maine, seeing much blessing, and after the Easter conference in Moncton had three weeks of meetings in [[Nova Scotia]]. On his way to the upper part of [[New Brunswick]] to begin a series of gospel meetings he became suddenly ill and God changed the plans which had been made.
While in the hospital just before his homegoing, he spoke of the many small, out-of-the-way places to which he had hoped to carry the gospel, displaying the true spirit of the servant until the very end. Br. Elliott is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Elliott, of Wallace, [[Nova Scotia]]."
