Even then ..has probably always had good intentions of returning It, book being tucked away on a shelf was literally "out of ;.of mind." this habit must have come the necessity which led to the of the bookplate. !tors tell us that the book-plate is traced back to the 15th so we have the proof that borrowers like the poor, are with us." ay however, be even older than the 15th century plate. t the perfume bottles, vanity cases, mirrors and combs found aelogists when they unearthed buried cities of the past, there ell have been book-plates had they been recognized. ny rate we are sure that borrowers flourished during the time Pharoahs for they kept records on clay tablets and had their s in stone. Imagine tucking a stone book under your arm after Ily browse in the library of a friend in those days! to come back to the book-plate (Ex Libres) which is known we find that the first ones were used to identify books ted to the Carthusian Monastery in Germany.

Two ants' heads support fluted columns topped by minarets on each joined by a matching facade, all in the East Indian style. The ks of the elephant heads — minus tusks — almost meet in a hing salver at the bottom, leaving space for his name, while,a h of native foliage peeks out here and there from behind the mns. ow, had he resided, in Canada that length of time, in the border gn the supporting columns might have been totem poles rising buffalo heads joined by garlands of maple leaves at the top and t beaver building a dam from limbs of poplar trees held by the Palo heads. And somewhere, surely, a bit of fern and poison ivy Id add an artistic touch to such a border!! Lucy was keenly disappointed that she did not have the ortunity to buy her uncle's library, or even a few choice volumes er his death in 1938. Experts have little difficulty in placing the date by studying the ign, the style of engraving or drawing in book-plates. The earliest known American book-plate belonged to John tton (1764) and the next year that of George Washington which lows the English style. Paul Revere's is accepted as of ten years er date. For nearly five hundred years the book-plate has been in favor t never enjoyed great popularity until some 25 years ago. The happy choice of a book-plate is a satisfaction and the fact t it may be large or small, intricate or plain, lends to its charm. stom and sentiment alone influence the design; it must bear the rds Ex Libres and have a space for the book owner's name. day, convenience demands that the plate must be printed or idled or gummed paper that it may be 'ifffiecrwitli else' to"the" o to be and identified. tc:7 I 'I " T5" Some 0 years ago; hyinn arid prayer booki.presented to Trinity urch, Bayfield, bore name plates printed in a suitable colored sign.

Morton presided at a well-attended meeting of the Bayfield Branch of the Huron County Historical Society on Monday evening March 9. The secretary's and treasurer's reports were given by Mrs. M. Watson and Mrs. J. E. 1Vlayman. Mrs. W. Metcalf reported the results of the Huron County executive meeting held in Goderich regarding future programmes and projects. It was decided to study the possibility of using tape recorders to further historical research at the local level, the guiding committee to be Mrs. R. Poth, Mrs. E. W. Oddleifson and Mrs. Morton. Continuing the society's programme of local research, the Rev. Donald Beck presented the events in history which resulted in St. Andrews United Church as it is to-day, an active congregation of 217 members. Early records tell of the Methodists meeting in the old log school house on the back of the river, now Mr. and Mrs. Carl Diehl's home. In 1856, they took advantage of the offer from the Canada Company of a free land site and $100.00 to help erect a church, just north of the property presently owned by Mrs. George Castle. At this time, the Bayfield Circuit of the Wesleyan Methodist Church was organized to include Bayfield, Coles, and Bethal churches. At various times it appears that other appointments included were Varna, Goshen, Brucefield, Drysdale, Lakeview, Town Line Class, Sauble River Class and Sharon. Fifty years later, a new place of worship was built at the corner of Louisa and Colina Streets and the corner stones were laid by Mr. James Wallis and Mr. Lancelot Clarke on July 2, 1906. The Rey. T. A. Steadman was the minister at the time and it is interesting to note that his son and grandsons spend the summers regularly at their cottages in the Village. By 1911, with Thomas. Laws as pastor, there was a total of 161 members: Bayfield, 63, Bethel, 62 and Coles, 36., '' " iVilidqhirtarfie r•ifeitod:` the' Presbyterians in the community were struggling, likewise, to establish a congregation. It is recorded that in the year 1857 the Rev. Alexander MacKid of Goderich dispensed the first communion to twelve members in Mr. Gairdner's warehouse. Through the,generous support of such men as James Gairdner, Dr. Gairdner and Alexander Cameron the first Presbyterian church was erected in 1860 at the end of Howard Street, overlooking the Bayfield River. It was a handsome building of solid brick and served the congregation until 1902. Due to a sudden increase of members from the Front Road Church, closed in 1900, it was decided to build a new church. Stones were brought from the Bayfield River, lime was burned in the lime-kiln on George Lindsay's farm, brick obtained from St. Joseph, and a contract awarded to Buchanan and Lawson of Goderich for $1,923.00. On May 19, 1902 the corner stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies, and on August 24 the church was opened for worship. The Rev. John McNeil was the minister, and Miss Minnie Armstrong, organist and choir leader. Each church body served the community faithfully and independently until July, 1925, at which time the Methodist Church was closed, and their members united with the Presbyterian majority to form • St. Andrews United Church, Bayfield. Mr. Beck had on display many interesting old church registers, pictures, blueprints, and record books from both churches. The first four marriages recorded in the Methodist register were solemnized in the year 1858. Fertilizer Blender.
