Deal’ Sir: ’ < I have read with great -interest the letters of “E X Hqfds” which are captioned “Once’ Upon a Tiime”. He was, although some years my senior, orie of my best chums in the later years . 6f mylife in the Sepoy Village; As he has not revealed his identity-, I of course do not feel free to let the cat. out of the bag. But ’a few. incidients connected- with him have always remained?- fresh in my memory., . ?•.. I. can still see the room upstairs in a farm house near Lucknow which was his bedroom, office, library And study. He showed me his library of books set in rows on a couple of homemade Shelves. I envied' his ex­ tensive. library, fully a score of books because • at. that .-. .time? my own lib-/ vary was arranged- in an apple box, or rather a box the size of an ap­ ple box, for it was not till I came west that T found that apples, could be packed and shipped in boxes as well as in barrels; The biggest lib­ rary I knew of in those days was the one originally left by Mr. Bur­ gess and which was in the front -oom of the home of his daughters Sarah, and. Susie Burgess.-Kwonder: If that library is still intact or if the books have been scattered hith­ er .and thither. - Ajty chum whom I will designate as‘JE.X” used to write poetry, some of which was published in various Sunday . School and other papers. Some pieces I still have in an bld scrap book; He also did some story writing_and„ once he employed ■ me W re-rivrite had written with lead pencil. Neith­ er he nor I had access I to typewrit- erKin those days. Whether there were any in Lucknow then or not. I do not know, . used to gp out Mho- neigh- boring—communities-as-a-local-prea- cher and I sometimes went with him later following in'his. footsteps in becoming a local preacher myself. His parents attended the Metho- dist Church in Lucknow where I al­ so attended, due to the fact that iny grandparents went there and I had to go with them; at least until I got into the habit, after which I attended because I had become inter­ ested in various branches of the church work. . > ‘ . Maybe the one memory of Luck­ now days which the thought of ^‘E. X.” brings most vividly to mind is chat of the church on the corner of Lucknow’s two main streets, built at an angle as if\ it could not make up its mind which street it be longed co or which it wanted to face.? After mounting a few steps arid entering the big doors—one turned to right hr left through swinging doors covered with some kind of baize or, felt. If he were going to the young people’s meeting (Ep- werth-^lJeagiie-^h^^^ went through the doors on the en­ trance level,, but if he were going, to a" church service .he climbed the stairs to the floor above. There was a gallery, at the back, and back of this gallery a class room where Miss Martha Walker taught' some of the young folk'.. I Would like to drop in the old church some Sunday and see how near it comes to my memory of it. Possibly there have been changes, snd mayhap my memory may be at fault. , ' Unless I am mistaken, the corner stone to one side of tne’ entrance had the date 1885. If I am right, then this year there should be a jub- \lee celebration, “although I have hot yet seen any reference to it in the Sentinel. I was not there in 1885 but I had become a regular atten­ dant as a boy before it was. four vears old. _ ■ — T have been in many larger chur- hes and some famous cathedrals. 1 have hel<j various positions in one ihurch for many, Consecutive years, but the’ one .churgh that will always iwaken feelings of love in my mind: •is that old Methodist Church in Luc­ know that should now be celebrating ‘ts jubilee. In memory I can see the seat near the front on the right side of the left aisle where T used •f‘o. sit with my grandparents. Later r sat at the back among the bigger hoys—but later' still I was glad to lit in the old seat with my grand­ father, who was then a widower. In the.seat in front sat the Graham family. If they had all been there M one time, it would haVe required more space than was available in their pew, for besides 'Mr. and Mrs. Graham there were .Ettie, Ida, Flo. Eunice, May, Dahlia, Bob, Herb and Marshall, Then right behind ris was 4hm Smith pew. Mr. Smith was sup­ erintendent of the Sunday .School ‘ill the time of his death (when be •• n« succeeded by Dr. Newton) and Msb. leader of fW choir. In that seat hn«b!es M>s. Smith were her daugh- pr-rc.- Edith and Laura and her^ohs rgp arid Jack’,- also the Burgess '"HrK Then T rnp fn»e th© peWg ©c- P'oo:ed hv .the We'bsters, the Trejea- the—r-, but it would take tpo ’much «spare to name them' all. If I could only run through the register of members"of those years in the nineties, I’am sure.it would- bring un a lot of very pleasant mem-, iries. I can still hear ths Voices of some :0f Ute . ild worthies, leading iri nrayer or giving __L.The hulptt I she and hear Hev.’Mr. uailing, ’Rev. .John Mills, Rev, T. R, TWalwin. TeTfde^ .many of £Fe warts among the General- Conf er- officials such as Dr. Cr«ws Dr j Soft's Dr. Sutherland ancl Hr. With- row. ’ In the choir among others were Emma and. Julia Peart, half sisters* bo$h -wohdohful singers,; Emma Smith, Sadie Johnston, Bob^Hughes, .Goprga Bowers. . “ « In the Epworth League, * Dave Taylor was president and he had a good group , of workers with him. In the Sunday School besides Mr. Smith, I particularly remember my own teacher Mrs. Berry. /' • I2 suppose ariiorig- the. people who attended the church then, many haye passed;, on Ao their reward,... many have left for other communities in Canada and even i’arther afield, but there are rio doilbt. quite a number who, are still iri the, old town. ’ Of those who attended the JLeague arid the Sunday School naturally a larg­ er number are still alive foi' they were . younger, But of them it is safe to say the greater number are scattered here< arid there over the continent and -some beyond, even" to the limit of the twelve thousand five hundred miles possibility. I must not make this -lettei’ any longer. These reminiscences are the result of ffiy haying segn the fam­ iliar n°m de plume “E. X. Hqfds.” After nearly 40 years my thoughts often revert to Lucknow and those days of the nineties, and time has. mellowed^ all the, memories into ■ pleasant^ffiies~— ' WILL FARADAY.
