Presb'sterianism In Biuevale. The completion and dedication a few weeks ago of the new Church edifice in Biuevale marks an important and praiseworthy step in the history of Presbyterianism in that village; and the band. ome and commodious. church home which nae been erected will stand for generations to come as a glowing tribute to the liberality, ability and energy of those who have so nobly "put their hands to the plow" and assisted in its completion The new church, a cut of whioh appears above, is a neat structure of red brick, with foundation of cement blocks, flanked by buttresses, with cement trimmings, the dimensions being 54 x 38 feat. The entrance is on the ground level, and from the lower vestibule the stairways lead on either side to the main floor, where the auditorium is reaohed through another ve9tibu1e. The euditorinm presents a handsome appearance, the walls being of stucco, the choir alcove plastered in hard fioish,and a metallic t ailing decorated in blue, green and gilt on a terra cotta ground. The woodwork, pulpit and pews are of ash in oil finish, the pulpit furnitrro being upholstered in brown leather. The, basement is entered from the lower vestibule, and is divided into school room, 'vestry, library a nd kitchen. The first sod in the erection of the building was turned in June, and the corner stone laid August 13th. 3 Mr W, D. Binning, of Lis- towel, was the architect, and Mr. Haney the contractor.- Among the sub•oontractora were : —James Pipe, REV. W. J; WEST, M. .A., Londeeboro, cement work; Jacob Pastor Biuevale Presbyterian Church. Kereitzer, Listowel, brickwork and plastering; Wilton & Gillespie, Brussels, metal work; William Fox, Wrox• eter, painting; Valley City Seating Co., Dundee, pulpit and pews; S Bennett, Wingham, woodwork; the Kelsey furnaoe, which is giving ex- cellent satisfaction, was suppled by the James Smart Co., of Brookville, and installed by -J, Bugg & Son, Wingham. The building committee cona'eted of Messrs. Wm. Maxwell, John Mc- Naughton, George McDonald, James Moffatt, John Mundell, Robert Black and R. N. Duff, with Mr. Robert Maxwell as inspector. The history of Presbyterianism in the village .i0tps hank to the early fifties, when Rev. Mr. Barber min- istered in this part of Huron county. The congregation of Bluevale was organized about 1855, with the Rev. Stephen Yonng,missionary,in oharge, and Messrs. Robert Moffatt, Richard Miller and Christopher Hamilton ae Elders. About 1862 the old church was built, costing about $1500. The contractor was Mr. Duncan Stewart. In 1866 Mr. Yount was succeeded by Rev. James Beetle, who was the first pastor, and whose portrait we reproduce. At that time the charge consisted of Wingham, Blnevale and Eadie's, but in 1869 Eadie's was united with Teeswater, Mr. Haetie oontinned as pastor of Bluevale and Wingham until 1871, bei: g succeeded in that year by Rev. Jas. Pritchard, who oontinned in the work until 1876. In 1872 Bluevale and Eadie's were united as one charge, and Wingham was made a separate oharge. From 1879 to 1881 Rev. D. G. McKay ministered to the Biuevale congregation, and Rev. A. Y. Hartley from 1881 to 1896, in whichyear the present pastor, Rev. W. J. West., M. REV. JAMES HASTIE, A„ was inducted into the charge. Pastor Bluevale Prer, Chnrch, 1869 to 1871. Dui ing the pastorate of Rev. Mr. West about three hundred persons have united with the church, the offerings of the people have increased one- third, and the oontribntions to the Sohemee of the Church now amount to about ten times as much as they were at his induction eleven years ago. There have been fifty deaths in this time. In addition to the erection of the handsomer new building, the cost of which will be about $8000, a new shed was recently erected at a coat of about OLP PERS111211tRIAle CHURCII, BLi7$V"AL11, Eli'GCT'RD 1862 $1000; Eadie's ohurcil was renewed and anew shed erected there costing about 8800.
