We office-bearers and members of the congregation of St. Andrew's Church, Buckingham, Quebec being communicants, desirous of promoting the glory of God and the good of His Church, being destitute of a fixed pastor, and being satisfied by our experience of the piety, literature, ministerial abilities and prudence, and also of the suitableness to our edification of the gifts of you, Rev. Calvin McQuesten, B.A., have agreed to invite, as we by these presents do invite and call you to undertake the office of pastor among us, promising you on your acceptance of this our Call, all due respect, encouragement, and obedience in the Lord, and further engage to contribute to your suitable maintenance, as God may prosper us. In witness whereof we have subscribed this Call on this the eighth day of December in the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fourteen.

That in pursuance of appointment of the Presbytery of Ottawa this Call has this day been moderated in and that communicants to the number of thirty-two have by themselves or by me at their request, subscribed the name, is attested by me.
