Mr. J.S. McKay, Presbyterian missionary to the area provides a detailed
account of his region in which he refers to Souris City as, “a somewhat
pretentious place” consisting of “ a saw and grist mill, two stores,
hotel, five private residences, a blacksmith shop, and several tents.”
He goes on to extol the agricultural potential of the region, to bemoan
the fact that although there were “ten Presbyterian families and about
a dozen young men,” they were “very careless” about church
attendance. He should be forgiven if he seems to regard the local
Methodists with a somewhat jealous eye, as he notes that they are in
the majority and that they “have service every day”. His services
were conducted every fortnight in Mr. Harrison’s store, and he
appreciated that the storekeeper, a Methodist incidentally, made it
available. He concludes the Souris City portion of his report by
allowing that, “Should a railway be constructed through it, Souris City
may come to be an important place.”
