HISTORICAL SKETCH
Of Presbyterianism in Wingham from
1866 to 1916. -
The following historical sketch is
taken from the "Jubilee Souvenir" a
neat booklet printed for distribution
prior to the celebrating of the fiftieth
jubilee of Presbyterianism in Wing -
ham, This booklet also contains over
twenty illustrations and every Presby-
terian should buy one for perusal of
their children and successors fifty and
one hundred years hence, The prico
le 50 cents,
"The rich wheat lands, known as
the Huron Tract, were surveyed and
placed on the market in the year 185.1
and about the close of the Russian
War. As the prico of wheat at that
time ranged from $1.59 to $2 00 per
bushel, these, lands were rapidly set-
tled by people principally from the
British Isles.
The Town Piot of Wingham was
placed on the market in the year 1861,
and soon became a prosperous centre,
and the need of churches and schools
was soon felt in the community. The
Presbyterians who settled in Wing -
ham and the surrounding townships
came from all parte of Scotland, the
north of England and the north of Ire-
land, • The people were not only from
different parts of the country, but
were also from different persuasions
of Presbyterianism, e e
peo-
ple
leer w re so-
ple from the Established Cburch, the
Burgers, the Anti Burgers, the Free
Church, Cameronians, and the Relief.
These people brought with them the
various opinions and cuei;ows to which
they had been used in the Old Lands.
These differences of opinion were more
of a benefit than otherwise, as they
enabled the people to take a more
liberal and friendly view of the opin-
ions of ethers, and elevate their minds
to a clearer conception of the Divine
Truth,
The eeroubles and hardships which
Bluevale the older and larger congre-
gations, paid 18300, Wingham and
kadie's paying the other $300.
On the first roll of membership
were the following:• -Alex Campbell
and wife, Mrs, Charles Campbell,

ST. ANDREW'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
•
these pioneer settlers endured, were
also "blessings in disguise". The peop-
le were enabled to start on a new civi-
lization temporally, as well as spirit-
usely. The land was not encumbered
by autocratic supremacy, no landlord
tyranny, no graded caste society. In
the eye of 'the law, men were equal.
The man who tilled the soil, owned the
land. Many- were the hardships which
the early settlers of, this country en-
dured. Though they had to work and
wait till they were able to build
churches and echoole, the inherited
hope which nerved their fathers,
cheered them on to acquire an inheri-
tance they could never have obtained
in their native land,
On the 1.21h of June, 1892, tbe Wing -
ham Presbyterian Congregation was
organized by Rev. W. 0. Young under
instructions from the Presbytery of
Baron, the Presbytery of Maitland
not then being organized, and for sev-
eral years previous to the building of a
church, the people met for worship in
school houses, barns and other conven-
ient buildings, The word was preach-
ed by Colporteurs and College Stud-
ents with an occasional ordained min-
ister to perform the rites of baptism.
In the year 1866, a site for a Church
building in the Town Plot of Wing•
bam was purchased, situated half way
between dipper and Lower Wingham,
and three Trustees, Mesere, Robert
Currie, William Linklater, and Walter
Sloan were appointed custodians of
the decd, The first Board of Manag-
er was composed of'Thomase er•
eHnd
P
son, Peter Deane, Robert Curti° and
David el oberteon.
The site chosen for a Church was an
ideal one. It was situated on n. high
bank overlooking the Maitland River.
On that site a substantial frame was
erected during the summer of 18(16.
In D. comber of that year, a staff of
J3tdere was chose», namely:—John
L'nk'ater, John Coesar, Thomas Ell.
iott, John Patterson and Robert
Gealam, They Were ordained and in-
ducted into the office on the 27th of
December, 18(10,
A union aeesion consisting of Wing -
ham, BI °vale and ]die s was
bt m u L termed
with Rev. Dolan Ferguson, of Bsuseele,
as Moders,tor. In the same year, the
Itev, Jarred .nestle was called and ore
cdained as pastor of the three stations.
The year! fstitteud at ilrut was $000.
original members are now members of
the congregation,
The dedication of the new church
°was held on the 21st pf February, 1867,
with the social opening on the 'even -
of the 1.2ad February. The social en-
tertainment was a cheering success,
The members of the congregration
provided provisions for four hundred
and fifty guests but the number who
attended far exceeded that, and a
number went away as there was not
enough room for all. The amount re-
alized at the dedication service and
social enterbainment was $175.
The method adopted for raising
funds to pay for the building, minis-
ter's ealary and other expenses, was by
voluntary subscription and renting the
pews. The mode of conducting the
service of worship was tho old Scottish
style. The people were seated during
the singing and standing during pray.
er, Tho psalms and paraphrases only
were used. A Precentor led the sing•
ing. He pitched the opening note
with a tuning fork, Mr. Lawrence
Fyfe was the first Precentor. The
grand old Scottish tunes were mostly
need, such as Old Hundred, Coleshill,
Belarma, and others noted for their
solemnity and sweetness, which gave
them a distinct cleavage between eao-
red and secular music. The Precentor
simply led the congregation, which
generally joined in the service of
praise. The collections were taken up
with two long handled ladies, long
enough to reach to the far end of the
pews. These attitudes were changed
like all b systemss
1 that and fashions to
suit the times and tastes, By the year
1870 moat of the farmer; had secured
horses, and shed° were erected.
Prom the year 18titi until the year
ie71, Rev. James nestle labored faith-
fully in Ilia Master's service, and the
congregation increaeod rapidly under
hie care, He wag a native of Scotlanet,
received hie educationeet Knox Col-
lege and Torouto University, •
Ile was an able expoueider of
the Word, and illustrated the great
value of an abiding faith and love dur-
ing his nitnietry. Ile resigned the
pastorship in 1871. and is now living
in Moulinette, Ont.
Itev. James Pritchardthen received

The Reverend gentleman thinks that
the
present system of denominational

worship is away ahead of the proposed
union which was carried by a very
large majority at the Assembly. He
stated that so long as he had Preebter'
ians who would listen to him preach-
ing the Presbyterian doctrine, he
would willingly preach it, and hinted
that he thought a split would be the
only remedy of • the present union
problem.
