At that time three churches existed, two in Ontario and one in Quebec. “Canada” appears in the 1899 General Conference statistical report with 5 appointments, 5 churches, 5 meeting houses and 125 members. 1899 General Conference Journal: Petitions were read from the conferences organized during the last four years under the direction of the Missionary Secretary, in Canada, signed by the Rev.
