The terrifying thing about the
Cambodian crisis has not yet
appeared in any print that this
columnist has read.
That' terrifying thing is that
when the monarch of Cambodia
was deposed because of the
approach of the Red Chinese, he
flew to Peking, rather than to
the "West". It was those very
soldiers of Red China who
caused his downfall. It was not
to negotiate with their leaders
that he went, for he took
nothing with which to bargain.
His nation was lost. The
military had taken the
government away from him.
What should have been a simple
police action became a
conflagration. The unpopular
Vietnamese had been sent into
his land, as well as American
troops. His people were being

pointed out that most of the
governments of Asia believe that
Mrs. Diem is telling the truth
when she says that her husband
was toppled in a coup designed
by America's C.I.A. The
monarch of Cambodia was afraid
that if he flew to the Western
world, anywhere at all, the
C.I.A. would loose one of its
killers on him.
There was just one place he
could feel secure from the long
arm of assassination by the
supporters of military
government.
• Now, he could have been
wrong. He could have been
"dead" wrong. He risked that
possibility by flying to Red
China, rather' than India or
Australia or Saigon.
It will be interesting to see
how Chile's Marxist President
makes out.
Speaker: JOHN TURNER.
"This lovely old church has
been a cross-roads beacon in
Goderich Township ever since it
was built in the fall of 1872 and
has been marked as a people and
congregation of the utmost
loyalty and devotion and loving
service in all this period of its
history." This is a direct
quotation from the present
rector of this parish, the Rev. E.
J. B. Harrison, the incumbent
since May, 1957.
Glancing back over the
records, we find that the present
church was a successor to a log
church that stood further south.
Previous to that time the people
met in John Middleton's barn
slaughtered by ,the bloodlust of
war.
All of these things were due
directly to the Red Chinese. Had
they pulled back, he could have
retained power.
Yet, he flew into their arms,
rather than to America. Has no
one ever wondered why? The
monarch of Cambodia had
resisted the encroachments of
Red China. He did not want
them running his country. At his
command his troops were
resisting the advance of the Red
Chinese. He knew the avarice
and relentless greed of the
Chinese communist doctrine.
Yet, he flew into the
hospitality of their government
rather than the governments
who were sending help to resist
the Red Chinese.
Well, just to end your
suspense, perhaps it should be

until they "built God a church".
The Middleton family has had
a continuous association with
this parish since John Middleton
deeded the land for the church
built in 1872. His oldest son
Charles B. Middleton was born
that year and his youngest son is
Fred Middleton, whose farm
adjoins the church property.
Few people recall that St.
James was first associated with
St. Stephen's Church
(Marianne's) on the Huron Road
about two miles from Goderich.
This church was closed about
1893.
St. James, Middleton was later
served by the rector of St.
John's, Holmesville and St.
Luke's in Goshen but in the
spring of 1923 the church at
Goshen was closed and the
church at Holmesville was then
joined on to the parish of St.
Pauls, Clinton.
At this time, St. James,
Middleton became part of a
three-fold parish with Trinity,
Bayfield and St. John's in Varna.
The latter was closed in 1966
and St. James, Middleton and
Trinity Church, Bayfield now
comprise the joint parish of
Middleton and Bayfield.
It is the proud record of St.
James, Middleton that it has
never been closed at any time
since 1872.
It has been served by a long
line of dedicated rectors. We
believe this is the complete
record: Rev. Evans Dories, Rev.
Thos. Watson, Rev. A. C.
Forbes, Rev. A. E. Miller, Rev.
C. Re Matthew, Rev. H. Douglas
Steele, Rev. E. W. Racey, Rev.
L. W. Diehl, Rev. Wm. Stout,
Rev. Ernest B. Smith, Rev. H. A.
Wright, Rev. A. H. Rhodes, Rev.
W. F. Kearney, Rev. W. H.
Dunbar, Rev. Chas. Langford,
Rev. W. B. Moulton, Rev. C. M.
Hallowell, and the Rev. B. P.
Colclough, up to the year 1923.
There have been ten rectors in
charge of St. James, Middleton
since 1923. These include the
Rev. Canon H. F. Paull, now
retired in Bayfield. Mr. Paull
served from April 1925 to
September 1933, (the longest
time prior to the present rector).
He was followed by the Rev. W.
G. Bugler, now deceased; then
by the Rev. John Graham,
whose wife was a President of
the Deanery of Huron W.A. Mr.
Graham is now retired and living
in Wallacetown. They were
followed in quick succession by
the Rev, R. C. Holmes, and the
Rev. La Verne Morgan, now
serving in the Diocese of
Michigan (Lansing). The Rev.
Eric Carew-Jones served from
1952-54 and died in England.
The Rev. Warren Outerbridge
was next. A native of Bermuda,
he is now rector of St. John's,
Franklenville, New York State.
The present rector, the Rev. E.
J. B. Harrison came to the parish
on May 1, 1957.

The Middleton Church is
proud that its War Service
Honour Roll is inscribed with 10
names, all living.
No record of this church is
complete without a report of its
organizations which also made
the church a social centre, and
an important factor in the life of
the community of Goderich
Township.
In Mr. Paull's era, a lively
Young Peoples' Association
attracted young people of many
denominations.
The organizations of this
parish now include the Board of
Management. The present
Rector's warden is John Deeves
and the People's Warden is,John
W. Smith.
The Sunday School, now
supervised by Mrs. Don
Middleton, has long flourished
under a long line of dedicated
teachers.
The W. A. (now A.C.W.) has
been a dominant factor in the
church life and economy since
its founding in 1891. The Rev.
Louis Diehl was instrumental in
its organization and joined in its
W.A.'s 50th 'anniversary
celebrations.
For decades, the W. A. sent
clothing bales to St. Paul's
Residential School serving the
Blood Reserve Indians at
, Cardston, Alberta under the
Rev. Canon Middleton.
l‘Irs. Fred Middleton, Mrs.
Arnold Miller and Mrs. Stewart
Middleton were given life
memberships in the W.A. Mrs.
Edward Wise is the present
president of the A.C.W.
One by one the little churches
of the countryside are being
closed in the name of progress
but it is the earnest prayer and
hope of the many families of St.
James Church, Middleton, that it
will remain open as a house of
God and serve succeeding
generations as it has in the past,
as a "free church, in a free
state".
It is proud of the fact that it
has never been closed at any
time since 1872.

The wheels are turning to

1,000,000 Scripture Selections
— printed and supplied at a
cost of $200,000.
