In his opening address Mr. Mid-
dleton
iadleton referred to the present state
of ehoas in which industry through-
out the country had been paralysed
through the mismanagement of the
King government and deplored the
ever increasing national debt of Can-
ada which was becoming alarming.
In his passing remarks he referred
to Hon. W. H. Price of the Ontario
government as being the best treas-
urer Ontario has ever had, when a
wag in theaudience asked. "How
about Peter Smith?"
Mr. Barnum was given a rousing
ovation when he stepped to the front
of the platform to speak_ He de-
clared that the Liberal party sup-
porters had given a great deal of
time lately to publicly branding the
Conservatives as pessimists and
knockers. In answer to this he
drew attention to the fact that the
party leaders had threughou't time
been preachers of confidence and a
great future for Canada. He further
went on to discuss the potentiaities
of Canada. He said in the North
West tends we have an empire. and
referred to its great production of
wheat Wand other grains. We hare
the greatest gold. silver, nickle and
asbestos mines of the world, fish
and game, the fors of the north and
the fruits of the south all 'vied to
bring prosperity to Canada.
Mr. Barnum described in an in-
teresting manner how much the two
billion debt. of Canada would repre-
sent in wheat. It would go around
the world three "times in hundred
bushel wagonloads and another
stream as far as Constantinople.
The tremendous volume of that
debt gave the people of Canada the
right to demand that the Govern-
ment adopt a fiscal policy that
would bring prosperity to every
Canadian. He scored the King
government on the $5,000,000 ex-
penditure madeQuebec
pendrtu a to be in the e Q li
Harbor; also the grant of e16,000,-
000, providing for $1,000,000 per
annum.
N. W. Trentartlxt,IVF.L.A.. for S.
Huron, was loudly applauded when
he took the platform. The Fergus-
on Government, he said, had found
it necessary to do a lot of cleaning
up when it took office. No govern -
merit z left such a state of af-
fairs as did the Drury .adrtrinistra-
that, Every department. except
that of agriculture had produced
some surprise.
1. J. eternal', ex4ii.P., declared
that lie had attended meetings for
the past 40 years In South Huron.
but he had never seen such a crowd
attendance It spoke well for
the future of the party. He dis-
cussed the emigration to the J. S..
the tariffquestion the fallacy qof
granting $175,000 for a dock, at
Prairie Siding.

evening services the church audit-

held in the basement of the church.
At the morning service Rev. W. H.
Cooper, who is now living, retired in
London, and who was pastor of the
church from 1902 to 1905. preached
a splendid sermon. In his opening
remarks he was reminiscent and re-
called many incidents which took
place while he was pastor of the
circuit His sermon was taken
from Matt. 3; 1-2, "`In those days
came John preaching in the wilder-
ness of Judea and saying. repent for
the kingdom of God is at hand."
The speaker emphasized the fact
that Christ's I.Fi'gdom 3r,as set up at,
his firs: coming: that that kingdom
is not a !nal -teal kingdom. Christ
is here and reigr tag now. His:
tLmgdom .: t+ra he e~ea Axed until

continued success in this larger fraternity of Christian forces.
` •• EARLY HISTORY
The first services conducted in this community were held in 1854
soon after the first settlers arrived, in the home of Mr.. Silas Whitlock..
Lot 16, Concession 7—tire farm now occupied by Mr, Ben Williams. 50oj.
the services were transferred to Lot 13, Concession 6, thenoccupied by,
Mr. George Andrew, Sr., where settlers worshipped until in 1854, a buil&
ing was erected at Winchelsea, in wheel.), a Sunday School was orgenizede
and services conducted for some years.
During this period Elimville.was part of Exeter Circuit, but in 1864 it••
became the head of an independent charge with Rev. John Edwards at,
superintendent under the Bible Christian Church. On April 25th, 1865;
Rev, J. Edwards, Jonathan Cooper, Sr., Henry Taylor, Samuel Andrew,
Philip Andrew, Richard Deibridge, Sr., and ,Wm. Miners, Sr., as trustees..
had deeded to them part of our present cemetery plot, on which they,
erected a log church where union services were held,
The following decade proved to be a period of disunion, for sood•
part or the congregation withdrew and erected a building on the opposite•
•]Ara of time road. avltere Baptist and Anglican services were conducted.

and 4aeorge Puiiwpll, nectr,rerl a Plot of ground east of the village on which
y erected a brise✓ building. This structure was removed to Sunshine
1884. where it still serves as a place' of worship. Previous to this,
date this church was served by Rev. D. C. Clappison, Wm. Land, J. We
Holmes, Wm, Walsh, C. S. Cookinan, James Kennedy, Edward Tessanta
with Wm. Kettlewell, Wm. Godwin, M, Allen as junior men. w
The Bible Christians undeterred; prepared to expand and on Nov
ember 16th, 1867 purchased the plot of land on which our present church
stands, Thomas Worry, Sr. Wan Worry, Wm. Perkins, John Hancocka.
John. Veale and Robert Davidson being appointed trustees. Rev. G. T.
Colwell followed Rev. J. Edwards, serving two years to be succeeded by
Rev. George Bodle. Under the pastorate of Rev. W. C. Beer, (1872-
1876) our present edifice was erected and formally opened in 1875. The -
union of the different Methodist bodies in 1883-1884 led to the amalgar
motion of local congregations who have since worshiped together.
•
THE PRESENT CHURCH. B'UILDI
The builders of our present edifice, one of whom -Henry Johns—its
still living, did their work so well, that, after the lapse of fifty years -
scarcely a flaw in the brickwork is . to be seen. The interior has under-
gone some alterations and improvement during the intervening years:
In 1899 it was resented, in 1912 is was redecorated, in 1924 the basement:
was completely renovated, and this year we said "Let there be light" and
behold a new lighting system is the result.
MINISTERS, AND PROBATIONERSNG.
The half century has radiated with variety and change. Men widel
differing in personality, gifts and pecularities have left their impress o8•
the- community and are "remembered by what they have done"—occasion-
ally things that they should not have done. A number of men, noir
prominent in the ministry, served 'their first" year' on Elimville circuit,
including Rev. A. E. M. Thompson, M.A.,B.D., genial and beloved, whe
was elected to the presidency of London Conference during its sitting.
in May. Others have retired from active service, and many have gone to -
the "homeland." Some we are delighted to have with us at these Jubilee'
gatherings.
