Anderson was early of religious endeavour, terian mission was there, prior to 1859, by Alexander Wood. He eventually removed from Blanshard and the mission was dis­ continued shortly afterwards. Some of the members went to Motherwell, while others joined with the Us- borne congregation. The lattex built the old stone church at Kirk­ ton in 1861. The movement to organize ana build a Methodist church at An­ derson originated about 1861. The first, of red brick, was built in 1863 at a cost of about $1,000, on the corner of the farm owned by John Lane, Sr. The funds were donated by people of the. commun­ ity. The church sheds were built about 1868. In 1889, under the leadership of Rev. James Kenner, plans were ar­ ranged to erect a new church build­ ing. Preparations were continued throughout 1890 and in 1891 the edifice was built, the contract be­ ing given to R. J. Roadhouse at $1,849. While the church was in the course of construction, the south gable was blown down by a wind­ storm, whereupon the church board advanced Mr. Roadhouse an additional $150 to cover this loss. Some of those from the original Anderson church became active in the ministry, among them C. H. Dickinson, G. Ratcliffe, C. A. Gow­ an, John Lane and H. A. and W. H. Graham. Miss Edith Sparling, sionary in West China, was from this congregation. A reception and dance for Mr. and Mrs. Harry Vinkbeiner (nee Mary King) was held in McKnight’s Hall Tuesday evening and the hall was filled, for the occasion. 'Fian- nigan’s orchestra provided the mu- sic. In the course -of the evening the honored guests were presented, with a mantel clock, book ends, and a purse of money. Those taking part in the xiresentations • were Lawrence Hill, Donald Davey, Helen; Kerslake and ILloyd Stanlake. Both - Harry and Mrs. Finkbeiner express ed their sincere thanks. The address was as follows: Dear Mary and Henry;—-We, your friends and neighbours have gather­ ed here tonight to congratulate you on your recent marriage. We feel We could pot let the occasion pass without extending to you a sincere welcome and to both of you we hope you may have many years of health, happiness and prosperity in all you do.

I've often thought of writing a sketch, Concerning the Human Race; Something interesting and “impartial, Largely true and Quite in place. As to the beginning of Mankind, When given the “breath of life;" The “Creator" formed our first parents, Perfect and free from ail ill-strife. This world was made for Humanity, Which I understand is true; Where we may live with “peace and friend­ ship, While this life we’re passing “Nature” largely the important And to us a real close ifriend; But if there were no Humanity, This World would soon reach Man oi' woman is a wondrous creature, When gifted with “common sense;’’ Health and happiness is better than gold, If ruled by “intelligence." Mankind's importance upon the Earth, Is in the “creative” Stage, Of every article or product, That’s suitable for this age. •Humanity beautifies the Earth, lAnd bedecks it with flowers; Which at times looks like a “fairy-land”, With pleasing nooks and bowers. Possibly the laws could be more fair, To suit most people th’e best; “Unjust laws are a hindrance,” In some lands this is no jest. Mankind is above the animal, iSo should an example be; With the aid of fair-minded knowledge, To keep away much misery. On Earth are many kinds of people, Some are rich and some are poor; “Extreme” wealth could be more divided, And not so much laid by in store. The poor and maimed have a right to live, Regardless where they may be; Without the pool’ there would be less rich, Which appears quite plain to me. “Why is Humanity on the Earth,” There is one good reason why; ’Tis purposely to help one another, While the years are drifting by. -U ^BOWL hydro home econo^HL^ through. its end, Hello, Homemakers!

Humanity is very changeable, Some are foolish,’some are wise; All according to their disposition, Some will laugh while others sigh. The elements of Human Nature, Are various and many, There’s no two persons wholly alike, The mind or form will vary. Human ’Nature is broad and far-reaching, Some rise high and some sink low; Which is ruled by their way of thinking, Perhaps the way they’re taught to go. Many persons have their own beliefs, As to what is wrong or right; If they’re deep and truthful thinkers, They will surely find some light. “Circumstances’’ may change conditions, Regardless of alj our plans; In times of “peace” or in times of “war,” In this or in foreign lands.
