Excerpt from The Old Mission Church of Mackinac Island: An Historical Discourse, Delivered at the Reopening, July 28th 1895 A number of visitors on Mackinac Island for several years past have had the project of building a Union Chapel for religious services during the summer seasons. Instead, however, of erecting a new one the scheme took the shape last season of purchasing the long abandoned "Old Mission Church, " standing at the east end of the Island, and refitting it for our purpose after its original style. This has been done, and on Sunday, the 28th of July, 1895, the first service was held in the restored Church. The Rev.E. D.Morris, D.D., of Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, and the Rev. H.F. Colby, D.D., pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dayton, Ohio, took part with the speaker of the occasion in the services. This discourse aims to tell the story of the Old Church and at the same time of the early Christian Mission which secured the building and gave it its name. I express my acknowledgments to the Rev.E. E.Strong, D.D. of Boston, editorial secretary of the American Board, and to the Rev. William Jordan, of Clinton, Massachusetts, a member of its Prudential Committee, for their pains in securing important data for me from the early records of the Board. Also to Mrs. Maria L.Chapman, who as a young girl used to attend the services of the Church, and was also a pupil of the school, and to Ignace Pelotte, whose whole life has been spent on the Island, and who now in extreme old age distinctly recalls the time when in the vigor of his manhood he bore a part in work pertaining to the building.
