in .Ferdwich. The first church was
started hr 1860 on the present site
and opened for war-Ship in July
1862 by the Rt. Rev, Benjamin
Cronyn, first 'Bishop of Huron, In
18851 this first church was moved
across the road to the lot immedi-
ately east. Afterwards it was torn
down, a good deal of the material
bekng used to build the church
shed.
Build Second. fhpreb
The second and present church
was, built on the original site and
opened for worship on NoVember
10th, 1889, by 'the Rt, Rev. Maurice
S. Balwwin, Bishop of Huron.
The second church had a fence
around it with the entrance.to the
church on the east side of the
building: Inside there • were two
Side aisles instead of the present
centre aisle. The building was
lighted with gee lamps and heated
by wood stoves in the church prop-
er as there was rio basement. It
was not until 1900 that the entrance
was changed to the south end and
the bell tower built,
On February 16th, 1919, the base-
ment was officially opened by his
Grace, Archbishop David Williams.
The centre aisle was made in 1947.
Last year a beautiful red •carpet
for the center aisle was given as a
memorial• to the church. A new
outdoor sign was also donated last
year as a memorial gift. In prep-
aration for, the centennial one of
organizations has had the nave
tiled.
A Centennial Thenkoffering Fund

Trinity Church are busy this week
cleaning up the church and grounds
in preparation for the ninny visit-

First baptism 186'6
The history of Trinity Church
from 1860 to 1960. is necessarily
closely linked with the coming and
going- of the different missionaries,
parish. In the register of baptisms,
marriages and.burials of this par-
ish the first clergyman's name is
that of the Rev: C. H. Drinlewater,
'The first-baptismal entry is dated
Octbber 26th e 1856.
Many clergymen have come and
gone since then. Rev. R.'S. Jones
stayed the longest in the parish,
1920-1935. Each clergyman who has
served the parish has added his
contribution to its life, However, it
must always be remembered that
there have been a great number of
men, women and children who,
during all these•years, have formed
the congregation. They built these
churches, carried on its worship
and services, organized and con-
ducted its different societies, and
were ever willing. to. give of their
time, talents and •money for its aid
and support.
Two members, Mr. William T.
Sothern and Mrs. Annie McMichael,
of the first confirmation class in
1880 are still living today.
Most of th4 old timers have
passed on to their greater reward
and it is left to the present gen-
eration to carry on and finish the
world the pioneers began.
