Carl Hemingway p'u fe History of Methodists Given at Meeting Of Bayfield Trinity WA BAYFIELD — The . united I thankoffering meeting of Trin ity Branch Women’s Auxiliary was held at “The Hut” on Thursday afternoon, April 20, | with an attendance of 13 mem- -bers and one guest, Mrs. George Reid, Varna. Mrs. F. A. Clift was 'at the piano for .the singing of a hymn. Mrs. J. B. Higgins, president, conducted the special service •With Rev. E. J. B. Harrison reading the Scripture. Others . taking part were Mrs. G. N- Rivers 'and' Mrs. E, Earl. Mrs. . Rivers took up the offering. Mrs. Clift gave a report of ■ flowers and cards sent to sick and shut-ins, and Mrs. Higgins expressed appreciation to Mrs. Clift for taking charge of it. The secretary read letters of thanks from L. B. Smith and Mrs. E. A. Featherston; and Mrs. Gairdner also thanked the members for remembering her. Mrs. G. L. M. Smith gave a history of Methodists in Canada from the study book. The earliest significant group of Methodists in the Maritimes were those included in a group of 1,000 Yorkshire people, who settled on the Isthmus1 of Chig- . necto in 1772. They formed close ties with the New England Methodists. The Methodist Church system was particularly suited to fron tier conditions. An itinerant minister usually equipped with a strong voice and a gift for forceful preaching was a source of ecstasy in an otherwise drab existence. He was also a bearer of news from other areas and sold books. Methodism made full use of laymen: local preachers alter nated with itinerants and with each other. Mrs.. Smith pointed out that for this reason, history of the Methodist Church has not been accurately recorded. Under the leadership of senior laymen o. constructive feature of Metho dism ,was the class meeting. It encouraged group devotion and a personal review of defeats and triumphs, having the effect of a public confessional. Chris tian development was thus en couraged even if ministers W®re few and far between. Lawrence Coughlin is said to have been the. Earliest Metho dist. minister in the East. He ministered in Newfoundland in 1.765, returning to England in 1773. William Black, son of a York-* shiremanr became a Zealous Methodist, He appealed, in, vain to Wesley in Fhgland for ihin- isterial help in Neva Beotia. Ho then appealed to the Methodist confere-ncO at Baltimore who sent ininisters to the Maritimes ih .1784. Black Was later or dained th Pittsburg. The incom ing Loyalists disliked being served by American ithtaiStei’S, So he appealed again to Wes ley1 and tliis gave the SHtifeh Weslcyans their first hold, As suporinteriderit ' of Metho dist missions,. Black had $$ W- [field the Maritimes, Newfound land and West Indies. Because, of -him the Anglicans and I Methodists in Nova Scotia 'be came more cordial. His work was an example of tactfulness, leadership- and- growth". A sue-' cession of influential Methodist; ministers soon spread over Nova Scotia. The origin of Methodist work is hard to date. In 1791 Upper Canada had only a population of 10,000. The saddle bag brigade of itinerants were calling on settlers. Rev. William Losee by Bishop Ashbury of New York to Upper Canada. Near Hay Bay on the Bay of Quinte, the first Methodist Chapel was erected on Paul Hutt's farm, thus Methodism 'and'Upper Can ada were inaugurated the same year. Bishop Jacob Mountain re ported in 1794 that the itinerant and mendecant Methodists whose preaching could not help but perplex the understanding and corrupt tile morals, relax the nerves of industry.and dis solve the bonds of society. But even he had to admit to Lord Dundas that if it were not tor these dangerous Methodists the people tor the most part would not and could hot have any religious education. ’ The dominant Methodists in what was to become Ontario were the Ryersons. Colonel Joseph Ryerson, born in the American colonies had migrated .as a Loyalist to New Brunswick where he engaged in lumbering. He married Mehet- able Stickney, aged 19. They moved to Victoria in Norfolk Cottnty in 1799. Their most fa mous son Egerton was bom March 24, 1803. Thei doughty old Colonel, strongly Anglican, did his best- to discourage any Methodist tendencies in 'his . wife and family, 'but ended up with five sons ordained in that church. Archdeacon J. Btrnchlah, Tor onto (became first Bishop, of Toronto in 1839), criticized the Methodists, some of whom preached 25 times a week. He was 'answered by a -forceful re buttal 'in the" press written by the youthful Egerton Ryerson (anonymously). When old Col onel llyerson heard it, 'he sput tered “My God We are ruined.” ... A Presbyterian, the Rev. Wiiji- Ham Proudfoot was led to seek the source Of appeal to the masses. The reform movement spur red by William LyOn Mackenzie,- editor of the Colonial Advocate and George Brown of the Tor onto Globe, Was rapidly taking two directions, One was to wards general and free educa tion; the other was political, aiming at a feSpofiisible igOvdiffi-1 went detached from ecclesiasti cal interference and royal ca- scattered was sent price. Each church tried desperately to keep out of politics but such publications as the Christian Guardian, founded in 1829 with Egerton Ryerson as editor, did little to support separation. The British Wesleyan Church had spread its missionary in fluence westward and this con servative group began to chal lenge the jurisdiction of the new Methodist Episcopal' Church of Canada, which had formed a separate Canada Conference in 1828 owing to the feeling of •“Yankeeism” after the war of 1812. . ' ’ Smaller groups like the. Prim itive Methodist Church -which had separated from' the Wesley-’ ans jn England arose. An Irish group had formed the Canadian Wesleyan Church'. Finally the Bible Christians and a small “New Connexion” consisted .of Methodists -who 'sought a simp ler religious life than that of the increasingly disturbed and politically involved organized churches. Mrs. Rivers announced that the Thankoffering amounted to $50.20 which was accepted from her by the Rev. E. J. B. Harri son for tire blessing and dos ing prayers. . Mrs. R. Hi F. Gairdner. was hostess;' serving for her were Mrs. F. A. Clift, Mrs. L. B. Smith and Mrs. G. N. Ravers. I had, occasion to drive through the Hamilton' area on Monday and ’in spite of the date, there was practically no activity on the land. While it has officially been “spring” for some time, the weatherman ap parently hasn’t heard of it yet! There seemed to be more activity in the Kitchener area. I saw one field that was sown and several had been cultivat ed. One man was ploughing sod. I have yet to see any work done in our area here at home. I expect a good many farmers are getting restless to get at the seeding but we’ll have to wait for the weather. There hasn’t been a great -deal of rain, though there have been a good many /‘wet” days. Seeding could come very quickly with a few good days. Farmers are apparently just as eager as ever to improve their production. The .Depart ment started telling us about a year ago of the advantages in growing feed barley rattier than oats and even suggested that in many cases, it would be more profitable than corn. The promotion seems to have taken effect. The local mill manager told me the other day that the available supply of seed barley has been used up and he didn’ expect to be able to get any more. Whether there will be a re duction in- corn or not remains to be seen. In recent years .it has amazed me to see how -quickly farmers will accept new ideas of production, yet they are very backward in changing methods of disposing of their product. It will be interesting to see how the proposed Agency Mar keting Plan for White Beans will be supported by producers. Certainly if -the White Bean Producers are to establish a firtm,' reliable supply, of beans for the export market they must be able to control the sale of the entire crop. It is interesting to hear that the bean dealers are •faking a pretty dim view of the proposal and evidently are no longer in terested in promoting .produc tion. It is quite a switch. For the past three years I have received letters from bean dealers telling how the bean crop should be in creased and how they would supply seed and fertilizer until harvest time.,They pointed out that there was a market for double the production. Now that tine farmers are thinking of taking over the marketing of the crop the dealers suddenly threaten to withdraw “contract ing” production. In spite of the continual in dication by the trade that han dling beans was a particularly risky business they are appar ently unwilling to trade the rislr for a good guaranteed income provided by handling charges as' in the case of the Wheat Marketing Plan, t I suppose the bean agency plan is a little different than the wheat plan since it is only on the export wheat that it co-uld be considered an agency. There seems to be little, if any, objection- to the Wheat Board handling the export sales which make up about 25 per cent of the wheat trade. In the case of beans I,Would expect that at least 75 percent of the crop will be exported, yet it seems to be profitable to the trade. The one question that seems most important for the produc ers to consider is the- effect an agency . marketing plan will have on the matter of producer processing of .the bean crop. / * In years past the government seems to 'have taken a very dim view of having a marketing agency and processing facilities for the same product. If this bean problem becomes a question of one or the other the producers have a very diffi cult decision to make.
