The cornerstone was laid on July 2, 1906. While the new church was being built, services were held in the town hall. About the same period that the Methodists were struggling to organize their work and build their original church, the P te'S t e'riViiS' in the neighbourhood were attempting to do the same. The congregation was organized under the ministry of Rev. Alexander MacKid of Goderich, in 1857 with a Kirk Session of two elders, Charles Tough and Malcom Smith. The first communion was dispensed in Mr. Gairdner's warehouse. The faithful few members of this early church undertook the building of the first Presbyterian church in the village in 1860 at the end of Howard St. overlooking the lake, It was a sturdy brick building. This church served the congregation until a sudden influx of members came with the closing of the Front .Road Church in 1900. Plans were first made to expand the church, but following a congregational meeting in September, 1901, it was decided to build a new church. Many of the materials for the church were obtained with "bees" to prepare for the final building operations when Buchanan and Lawson of Goderich were hired for $1,923. In May 19, 1902 the cornerstone was laid. After World War 1, talks, which had begun before the war, were taken up again leading to union of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. In July of 1925 the two congregations joined to form St. Andrew's United Church. In 1952 the church was redecorated as part of the 50th anniversary of its building. In 1954 an electric organ was added. In 1962 three former women's church groups (the Ladies' Aid, the Women's Missionary. Society and the Willing workers) joined to form the United Church Women. Jesus of Nazareth once told his followers, "The judgement you use on others will be the judgement used on you." (Matt. 7). Therefore, let's apply journalism's "keep the church out of politics" standard to the journalistic world — with thanks to James Kilpatrick, from whose assault on the church the format and wording of this is taken (but I substituted "journalism" where he had put "church"). One of the most dismaying trends in this Age of Disintegration, which we open-minded people are inclined especially to lament, may be found in the steady decline of journalism as a stabilizing force in society. The press, of course, is not dead; it may hardly be said to be dying; but it is down with a wasting disease. The October meeting of the Taylors Corner Community Club was held at the home of Mrs. Lorne Hodges. M r s. Helen Westbrook, president, thanked the hostess for the use of her home and Mrs. Phyllis Waine and Mrs. Daphne Malins for assisting with the lunch. Mrs. Grace Walters was in charge of the devotions. She read two pieces entitled "Thankfulness" and "Autumn". The roll call was answered by 17 ladies. The minutes were read and approved. Correspondence included quite a list of thank you notes for cards and gifts received, from members of the community, Both the flower fund convener, Mrs. Lorraine Young, and the treasurer, Mrs. Sandy MacDonald reported on their book balances. Mrs. Elaine Schmidt reported on the group's Korean orphan. Last month a bundle of letters which he had been writting during the summer were read. Mrs. Schmidt reported this time that the people at the orphanage request the group no longer send gift items for the child's birthday or Christmas, but rather to send cash. Very often the gift items axe stolen or lost before the child gets them, Fifteen youth delegates from across Canada, between the ages of 18 to 25 years, have been invited by the Primate to attend the 25th Session of General Synod of the Anglican Church. The names of the delegates are suggested by the Bishops and an attempt is made to select 15 young people who are representative geographically, and who will reflect a variety of interests of young people. Care is taken to choose boys and girls and to choose delegates from Dioceses unrepresented at the previous Synod. The 1971 General Synod will vote on a resolution on the first day to give the youth delegates fulh.,deleggte: status „to ,speak and t942te.F4',....

Many items were brought into the meeting, to be .sold at the bazaar. All the ladies have been. very busy with their knitting needles, and the sewing machines have been humming. Last month we had the- priviledge. to present a forMer member, Mrs. Edna Jantze with a lovely tri-light lamp as a parting gift from the community, Harold, Edna and family moved to Holmesville during the summer months. Again this month, at the close of the meeting Mrs. Hermie McCabe read an address to Member Mrs. Da Ohe who has moved to the town of Goderich recently. Mrs. Jane Sinclair presented her with a walnut coffee table and table lamp on behalf of the community. Lunch and an informal chit-chat followed. Street, Toronto, supervises the selection and correspondence with the Bishops for the Primate. Some of the issues affecting youth to be discussed at the General Synod, Niagara Falls, include; "What are we doing for youth at the National level?" — "What is advocated for the Dioceses" and "The need to help `Outside Church' Youth". Regular delegates to General Synod • are elected by their Diocesan Synod (which also elects alternates). An equal number of clerical and lay delegates, and it should be noted that women may be, and are, elected.. appointment) • by Dioceses In 1856 the church was built assures a good geographical distribution. on what has since been known as Ann Street. The opening services were conducted by the Rev. Thomas Cosford, then president of Goderich District and the Rev. John Berrie was the first minister. The first trustees of the church were James Switzer, Thomas Welsh, Isaac Erratt, George Erwin, John Wallis and James Wallis. In the spring of 1906 official action was taken on the building of a new church. Contracts were let to James Spaekman for cement work; Charles Shoemaker for brickwork and Methodist ministers before the union were: Rev. Thomas Hadwen, Rev. Thos. Robson, Rev. James Livingstone, Rev. F.J. Oaten, Rev. Edward A. Shaw, Rev. J.G. Yelland, Rev. J.A. Snell, Rev. T. A. Steadman, Rev. Wm, Lyon Hiles, J.T. Fortner, ReV, Thos. Laws, Rev. James Young, Rev. T. Darling, Rev. Earnest C. Searle, Rev. J. Edward Jones,. Rev. Eric L. Anderson, Rev, Samuel Quinn and Rev. H.F. Kennedy, Presbyterian ministers were Rev. Alexander MacKid, Rev. Hamilton Gibson, 'Rev. Nathaniel Patterson, Rev. John McNeil and Rev. Alfred MacFarlane. Since the union ministers until 1962 were: Rev. H.F. Kennedy, Rev. R. M. Gale, Rev. Harold F. Currie, Rev. E. Wolland, Rev. Andrew S. Colwell, Rev. F. G. Stotesbury, Rev. Peter C. Renner, C. E. Peacock, Rev. John F. Patrick and Rev. Wesley C. Smith. Present minister is the Rev. Donald Beck. The "Liberty Lobby" and "Daily Worker" continue to report gains in readership and circulation, but they are almost alone in this regard. ."The Saturday Evening Post", a tradition-setter in American journalism since Benjamin Franklin, has ceased publication. New York's many newspapers have had to continually merge to meet the demands of our changing tastes in communications, Losses in circulation are accompanied by major changes in income and outgo, Magazines and newspapers which long refused liquor advertising have begun to accept it. Circulation and advertising figures, revealing as they are, reflect only a part of the trouble. In many communities, disagreements oh the very function of the press have bitterly divided citizens. To what extent, if at all, should the press involve itself through its editorialists in the great political and social issues of the day? Vice President Agnew of the United States recently addressed himself to this problem. In a strong speech Mr. Agnew called the press into account for taking a stand oh issues in which there is no clear-cut moral distinction. The news Media, he noted, Misinterpreted, quoted out of contekt, selectively shaped and molded public opinion to Meet their own particular bias, instead of the president's. I recalled with a shudder Martin Niemoeller's words, "In Germany they came first for the communists, and I didn't, speak up because I wasn't a Comitunist., Then they came tor the Jews . for the trade unionists . „ . for the Catholics . Then they came tor me, and by that time no one WaS left to Speak 010 SERI/11MS ALL SERVICES ON DAYLIPHT TIME ,.t. , -ONTARIO STREET UNITED CHURCH tee ' "THE FRIEntoLy CHURCH"..§ ii Pastor; REV. H. W.

The Methodists were the first to build a church in Bayfield, taking advantage of the Canada Company's offer of free land and'$100 to the first group 4-tdhtilld'rehureli. • catrz,. .wrath
