The opening date was set for Sunday, November 24, 1898, but now arose a minor hitch, On the afternoon previous to the opening, the pews had not yet arrived from the manufac- turer in Chatham, That evening the pews arrived by railway and the committee worked most of the night and part of Sunday morning, setting them up and putting them in place before the hour of opening service. The completed church, as it stands today, had been built at a total cost of $5,500, At the time of opening, the building committee an- nounced that the church was clear of debt except for $500. This deficit was raised on the spot by popular donation and when the church was dedicated, it was completely free of debt. The church is substantially the same today as it was at the time of dedication. On Good Friday, March 21, 1913 a terrific windstorm lashed the district and the Church steeple crashed to the ground along with the Church bell. However, the damage was repaired and a new belfry replaced the old steeple. The same bell was. in- stalled and still calls the faith- ful to worship Sunday mor- nings, and peals forth the joyous news of a church wed- ding. At the opening of the 75th year of worship in the church, a Chime system was installed and each Sunday morning the well known and loved hymns peal forth over the village and surrounding countryside. The history of Lon- desborough United Church, however, did not begin with the building of the present edifice. The first religious services of the Methodist Church in the district were held at the farm of Simon McVittie. Sometime later, a frame church was built on the McVittie farm which became known as the McVittie Church, and later became part of the Londesborough circuit. The first record of the Methodist Church in Lon- desborough is in a form of a deed, dated April 30, 1860 which' records the sale of the that suitable stone could be lapd, ,,,present neiY13SV "chureh now stands, m taljn "'out .or the:" from Maitland River and still bettee Thomas Hoggard to the stone 'could be taken from 'the congregation of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada. This church grew and became the head of the Londesborough- Holmesville circuit which was formed in 1870. The Circui,t was composed of Lon- desborough, Turner's, McVit- ties, Tiperary, Kinburn, Holmesville, Girrels', Penins, and Ebenezer, with two ministers in charge. In 1925, the Londesborough Methodist Church became the Londesborough United Church, and in 1932 Knox Presbyterian Church and Burns Presbyterian Church became one Pastoral Charge with Londesborough and Kinburn Pastoral Charge. Today these four congregations worship as one congregation in the building dedicated 75 years ago on November 24, 1898 in Londesborough. Last Sunday, Londesborough United Church congregatien celebrated three quarters of a century of worship in the present church, building. Special services were scheduled for this 75th Anniversary for 11 a.m. and 8 p,m, -The Rev. A.E. Menzies. of . London was the guest minister for the morning ser- vice at 11 a.m. Rev, Menzies led the congregation as their minister through the crisis of the second world war, serving the Londesborough Pastoral Charge from 1938 to 1945. Rev. Mr. Menzies, father of Beecher retired assistant of the Exeter United Church, It seemed very significant and appropriate that Mr. Snell preached the an- niversary service on the year of his retirement at his home church from which he went forth into the full time ministry. The Bell-Ringers from Wingham brought special music to the evening service and following the service an open reception was held in the church with the United Church Women in charge. The present church building was built in 1898 following the amalgamation of the Ebenezer congregation with the Lon- desborough Methodist church, with a committee consisting of Messers Will Lyon, Elijah McVittie, William Moon, Richard Carter, William McCool, John Tamblyn, Will Hiles and Marshell Braith- waite, in charge of the building arrangements. In every way, the building of the Church was a community effort with everyone lending a hand. The members of the sister congregation of Knox Presbyterian Church proved eager to advance the cause, and generously offered their church for services during the building program. The Corner Stone of the new church was laid by Mr, Neilands, then proprietor of the corner store. The stone is said to contain certain important documents of the church, the names of ministers, several coins and other objects of in- terest. The contract for the masonry work was let to Hiram Hill, stone Mason of Clinton. Oliver Rhynas of Goderich contracted for the framework and Dan Prior of Clinton took the contract for the brick work. Most of the labour was done free by the residents of the district. Bees were organized for digging the basement, hauling stone and brick, cutting stone and other tasks. Finding the right kind of stone for the foundations proved to be something of a problem, as the common field stone proved unsuitable for the purpose. However, this problem was solved when it was found river at Ball's bridge. It was no light task to remove these stones from the river, haul them to the building site and dress them for use, but many willing hands completed the tasks. The red brick for the or- namental trimming was ob- tained from the brickyard at Henfryn in Grey Township. A rather humorous story is connected with the red-brick. About 2,500 of them were required and accordingly two men were detailed to team them from Henfryn. However the distance of travel made it necessary to stay over night at Brussels. When they were ready to leave in the morning, for some unaccountable reason they forgot where they were to obtain the bricks and the name of the manufacturer. After some enquiries they were ad- vised that Gorrie was the place where red brick was manufac- tured. Upon arriving in Gorrie the owner of the brickyard in- formed them he had no order and moreover, he did not have 2,500 bricks to give them. However, they might try Hen- fryn brickyard.
