By JOY SCHEIFELE AItSA CRAIG Special services were held at the Ailsa Craig Presbyterian church Sunday evening com- memorating the congregations 108th anniversary. Presbyterian work began in the district with the visits of the Rev. William Proudfoot to Vanneck in 1833. When Rev. James Skinner became minister of that church, Rev. Proudfoot extended his work to outlying area. From 1845 to 1858 services were held in the temperance hall in the village of Carlisle when the growing congregation was recognized by the London United Baptists two behind By JOY SCHEIFELE The Ailsa Craig Baptist congregation held special ser- vices September 25 celebrating their 106th anniversary. The Rev. Norm Brooks was the guest speaker. The congregation was founded in 1871 when a number of baptists obtained letters of dismissal from the churches of which they were members and constituted themselves a regular Baptist congregation of Ailsa Craig. The first pastor was the Rev. A. Martell who had been a' missionary in the community. A contract to cost upwards of $1600 was let for the building of a church in April 1871. The Rev. J. G. Calder began his pastorate at Parkhill, Ailsa Craig and McGillivray church in 1872, but in 1874 this union was dropped for one with the East Williams Baptist Church, In 1880 Ailsa Craig and Denfield became a pastorate with the Rev. E. W. Dadson as minister. In 1939 it was decided to unite with Parkhill for a 3 point pastorate. In 1908 the church building was remodelled. A basement was added for a Sunday School room. Leaded glass windows and a furnace were installed. In 1916 a parsonage on Main Street was bought from S. G. McKay, In 1971 it was sold, and a new parsonage was built on George Street where the present incumbent, the Rev. Kenneth Hayes resides. a11111oneune111111111111111111111111111111111111.; ADAMS Heating & Coaling • Heating Systems of All Types INSTALLED, MODERNIZED and MAINTAINED EI • General Sheet Metal Work Air Conditioning! ri • Humidifiers Ventilation 2354187 132 HUtOh St., East, Exeter :4 . summit 4-H girls busy October 20, 1977 Page Kippen UAW enjoy -dinner Presbyterian Presbytery as a separate church. Early in the 1860's the Rev. W. Fletcher, minister of Carlisle began to hold services in Ailsa Craig for the benefit of Presbyterians here. On October 9, 1869, the Rev. John Rennie minister of Carlisle, opened the first communion roll at Ailsa Craig, bearing the names of 28 persons. November 17, 1870, the London Presbytery organized these persons into a distinct congregation with a session and board of management, under the leadership of Rev. J. Rennie, minister of the charge of Ailsa Craig and Carlisle. In the fall of 1871 a new church was opened for divine worship. In 1875, the Ailsa Craig congregation became a member of the present Presbyterian church in Canada. In 1891, the Rev. D. L. Dewar became the second pastor of the congregation, During his ministry a brick manse was erected on Main Street in 1892. Rev. W. H. Geddes became the third minister of the congregation in 1899. Rev. M. Bethune, father of the late well- known Dr. Norman Bethune, was supply minister for a time, After Mr. Geddes' death in 1924, Rev. A. W. Gardiner was called in as minister but he, and the Carlisle congregation, entered the United Church at the time of the union in 1925. Rather than invest in costly repairs the congregation in 1929 decided to demolish the old building and the corner stone of the new church was laid on July 10, 1929. The minister at this time was Rev. J. A. James. Dedication and opening services were held in "December 1929, and the first annual meeting took place in the basement of the new church January 22, 1930. Until the latter part of 1947, the Ailsa Craig congregation carried on alone. At that point it was joined by the congregation from Nairn who sold their church building to ,the Mennonites. By ins.
