urer reported that $287.40 was the
met proceeds from the fowl supper.
The Association wishes to thank all
•who helped make it a success. A
Leautiful solo was rendered by Mrs.
Hoy Fletcher.
A very interesting and inspiring
feature of the occasion was the ad
mission to membership in the asso
ciation of iMrs. John Sleamou, As
A result of Mrs. Sleamon’s untiring
labours on behalf of the new par
sonage enterprise the building fund
was. enriched by $65.00 which was
turned into the association by Mrs.
^leamon. This effort is the more
■appreciated when it is recalled how
■jpersisitently Mrs. Sleamon canvass
ed the highways and byways of the
adjacent territory in securing names
and contributions which went to
-?nake an autograph quilt, the quilt
In turn being auctioned the evening
•of the fowl supper. This for a much
younger person would have been a
wery difficult task and for one of
IMrs. Sleamon’s years it speaks very
-Biucli for the splendid Christian spir
it which is hers. The association
wishes to express their appreciation
such a fine effort, Mrs. iSleanTOn
oil 'her part wishes to acknowledge
Irer indebtedness to her many neigh-U
bors who assisted so much in the
actual making of the quilt.

his eight years in Washington ha
attained national .prominence, A well
known national magazine described-
most amazing man in;
and wrote across their pages “IToqi
now on one tenth of my earnings go
to the Lord,” thid from that day Mr,
Verity always had money for the
works of the Lord. It is recorded
that when his busmess was about
to be passed on into the merger with
the Massey Harris interests, that
Mr. Massey, sr., saw this written on
the pages of the early books, said,
“this will do, I need no further
proof of your works,” Those who
are left who knew Mr. Verity knew
him as a keen business man with al
ways sufficient time and money for
the works of anything pertaining to
good; His colleagues alike were
fine mep and all worked together
for the good of humanity. Rev. Mr.
Lund who followed Mr. Clappison in
1872, was succeeded by the Rev.
J. W. Holmes in 1875. By this time
the officials were in a position to
erect a parsonage, and Rev. and Mrs,
Holmes were the first to occupy the
new -church home, which still stands
at the rear of the present church
property, and is still in use. In
1878 the Rev. G. A. Mitchell came
into the charge, and he was succeed
ed by the Rev. G. N. A. F. T. Dick
son, who for the most part of his
pastorate was sick.. He was follow
ed in 1886 by tile Rev. Dr. Pascoe,
who owing to illness had to retire,
and was succeeded by the Rev, Jas
per Wilson in 1888 and in 1891
came the Rev. William MacDonagh.
Fii-c Destroys Building'
He was succeeded by H. W. Locke
during whose ministry the edifice,
was destroyed by fire. With un
daunted zeal he gathered together
his flock, when it seemed as though
they would split and scatter. In
fact fourteen families, who were not
in favor of rebuilding,. departed and
left a handful to carry on. Mr. Locke
with a few of the faithful, among
whom are remembered the names of
Dr, J. W. Browning, H.- E. Huston,
John White, E. A. Follick, W. Howey
A. Holland, Henry Hooper, Adolph
Hooper, Richard Gidley, *S. Powell,
James Dignan, James Willis, T. H.
McCallum and many others, some of
whom have passed on, took up the
work. Soon subscription lists were
out -and in a short time sufficient
money was promised and with the
insurance they had, the new struc
ture that stands to-day, was erected,
with a surplus in the bank of over
$1600, Corner Stones were laid by
Mrs. Caroline Bobier, Mrs. Anna
Brawn, Mrs. H. W. Locke, and the
trustee Board, and .a memorial win
dow in the upper front was install
ed by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Broderick
in memory of her parents Mr. and
Mrs, John Collingwood.
Following Mr. Locke, in 1897 was
the Rev. Charles Smith who stayed
until 1899 -when the Rev. R. Mill
yard took charge. He was follow
ed bj' the Rev. E. G. Powell, who
after four years, stepped out of the
ministry in 1910 to clean up the
County in the Temperance campaign.
He proved to be one of the most
fearless Temperance workers the
county of Huron ever had, in fact,
.wore hjmsblf out and died a ypppg

the’Rev. S. W. Muxwortliy and was
followed by the Reveren'd Doctor
E. Medd, who on account of ill-
health .stayed only two years and
was succeeded in 1920 by the Rev.
W. G. H. McAllister. In 1923 when

pastorate the congregation had about

Following is a brief history sur
rounding this quaint old church.
The first church in this vicinity was
commenced at Fairfield community
by a Mr. Fairfield, who being, him
self a layman, and anxious to- have
in the vicinity a place of worship,
was instrumental in securing the
services of the Rev. William Chap
man to hold services in his and other
homes in the vicinity, Mr. Chap
map is father of J. H. Chapman mer
chant). In a very short time by
the aid of Mr. Fairfield, Mr. Luker,
JMr. Fairhall and others in the com
munity, he was able to have erected,
a small frame church. From this
beginning Mr, Chapftiap was able to
reach out into all directions and es
tablish small groups of worshippers
and finally got a group interested in
this community. As far as is known
Mr. Chapman was the first preacher
in Wesleyn Chruch, Exeter, and was
instrumental in erecting a church on
the property opposite Mr. S. J. El
liott’s home on the top of the -hill
just west of the bridge. This church
was replaced by a brick structure
which was moved over to the pres
ent site and In 1869 a new and larg
er church was started. During that
year the church people worshipped
in the basement and during the next
year were able to have the second
storey built and had it dedicated in
1872. Rev. Mr. Chapman remained
until 1872, when he was succeeded
by the Rev. William Lpnd. The
house now owned by Miss Pearl
Gove, William Street, was used at
that time as a parsonage for the
■Wesiyn Church. The first organist*
in the new church was Mrs. A. D.
Freeman who held the position for
some time. iShe was succeeded by
Mrs. H. Hutton (nee Molly Verity)
who was later succeeded by Mrs. J,
P. Ross (nee Annie Swenerton) then
Miss Sarah A. Eacrett, Mrs, R. E.
Pickard (nee Elizabeth Verity) Mrs.
J. W. Blatcliford, now of Toronto,
and Miss Eva Huston the present
organist. Referring to 1872, about
this time men of sterling worth in
church work included the names of
John Trick, Dr. Winan, W. H. Ver
ity, John Ranton, George Ranton,
Charles Sothcott, LA, D. Freeman, Ri
chard Seldon, Micliael Eacrett. These
for the most part were class leaders,
and when the Minister needed men
to take his work or assist him, he
always knew where to look for help.
Dr. winan had an office and drug
store in the vicinity o.f where stands
C. L. Wilson’s Grocery and A. D.
Freeman had a Dry Goods store one
door south. On one occasion when
the Rev, Mr. Clappison, who suc
ceeded Rev. Mr. Chapman in 1878,
preached a sermon on giving, he ad
vised the plan of tithing. It is said
that Mr. Verity caught the inspira
tion and from that* time commenced
tithing. The next day when he went
to his work he opened his ledgers

Thus through the decaes from
early beginning down through the
years of hardships and struggles
this church of the present day has
much for which to be thankful. It
has been self-sustaining, it has rear
ed and sent out into the world many
ministers, missionaries and notable
to care for the world’s great in
dustries. Main Sitreet church as it
has been called since it dropped the
word Wesiyn, has enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the .one church that
much has been said about, regarding
the grit and ability to get along
against almost overwhelming od'ds.
Main Street Church resorts very
little to the many money-raising
schemes used by so many congrega
tions, yet it most always meets its
allocation, in fact generally
over the top.

Obeying a
cause of the _
received through the use of Sargon,
Mr. Upshaw writes that he is simp--
ly doing unto others as he wQpld
have them do unto him in making
the following voluntary statement:!
“My first experience with tliifS-
wonderful invigorator came In tha-
summer of 1928, when Sargon was
brand new. I was suffering from
nervous debility and an alarming:
physical depletion as the result over-work on the lecture platfornLs
and really feared I would not havp^
strength enough to get me’ through' .
the political ^campaign 'of July andt <
August. Unbelievable as it inay
seem, two bottles taken with the-
Sarjgon Pills simply made me oyer.
After the most hectic speaking cam
paign through which I ever passed^
I came out actually feeling far
stronger than when I began.
“Lat’er, rushing away on anotiier
busy speaking tour covering several
States, I did not persevere in the-
dally use of the medicine until my,
system was thoroughly cleansed,,
with the result that twice then I
found myself again from general
debility, constipation and dizziness*
and each time the Sangon,combina
tion has cleared me up and left
feeling tip-top.
"Living now in the aftermath of
those refreshing experiences, I ant
moved by common gratitude to-
heartily com'mend this wholesome-
and effective medicine to everybody
whose run-down condition calls for*
complete restoration.”

at W. S. Howey’s Drugstore.

Mr. Wm, Jarrott, of Brigden, wrote us a year ago. stating that his poultry had
become, badly iqf^ted. with worms. LWe advised him to use 2'lbi. ofRoyalPurple
Poultry Specific in each 100 lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue
throughout the Winter with 1 lb. After using it for three weeks he wrote us stating!
that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro
duction had gone up 100%. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months he* pur
chased 600 lbs. of this Poultry Specific. Wc received a letter from him the latter
part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained,' that his poultry
were entirely free from worms, and that during August of this year his production
was 100% larger than last year.
It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or if he mixes his
own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds
of feed during the whole season the poultry arc shut in. While this great tonic de
stroys the worms, it at the same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive
organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling them to take from 15%,
to 20% more good from the feed they eat. This is naturally reflected in increased
egg production. *
Worms in poultry is often mistaken for other diseases. The birds become very
thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea, When badly infested they will die.
Put Up in 30c. and 60c. packages, $1.75 and $6.00 tins,
also 100-lb. air-tight bags—$14.00. For sale by 4,600
