The paper was supplied to us by Robert Montgomery ° of Wingham. The edition featured the story of the opening of the Wingham Methodist 'Church which took place on February 16,1902. It told of the history of the congregation from the year 1854 when Rev. A. Campbell expanded the northern limits of the denomination, locat- ed at Clinton, and established appointments in Morris and Wawanosh., supplying them with services from Clinton, In 1866, T. G. Jackson and J. A. Flack canvassed for subscrip=^ tions for the building of a church, which was built on Arthur Street, just west of the Salt Block. The Presbyterian church occupied the site of the Salt Works, the Baptist church on the west side of the river in Lower Town and the Church of England near the CPR station. That Methodist church was later sold to J. D. Long and in 1902, it was being used as a steam laundry. In 1874, it was replaced by the first church built on Minnie Street. The present structure was built in 1901 but again, sailing was not all smooth for the hard-working members of the congregation. The 1902 paper .reads: "In 1900, the old church building shbwed signs of having seen its best days and Rev. R. Hobbs broached the subject of building. At the very inception of the enterprise, the pastor met with discouragement. A number of the trustees consid- ered that the time had not arrived for building a new church and that there should be at least three or four thousand dollars to start with. They declined assuming any of ttteesponsibility attend- ant upon the undertaking, and at once tendered their resignations. These were accepted and the pastor, nothing daunted, nomin- i'Maitetre Ja,nies�n-- inSt. Andrew's Church Rev. Robert H. Armstrong officiated at the ceremony unit- ing -in marriage Marlene Marie Jamieson sof Wallaceburg, for- merly of Wingham, and Peter John Henderson of WaIlaceburg, in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Friday, October 10, at seven o'clock. White and yellow mums formed the setting and Mrs. Don Robertson provided organ music. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Jamieson of Wingham are parents of the bride. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson of Wallaceburg. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was gowned in white polyester crepe with a self train and long sleeves. The dress featured a pear-shape cutout at the neckline and a self hood with maribou fur trim. Her 'some- thing old' was a gold locket which had belonged to her grand- mother. She carried an arm bouquet of long-stemmed red Sweetheart roses with red satin ribbon. Mrs. Mary Lou Cameron of' Wingham was her sister's matron of honor and Monique Cameron, niece of the bride, was junior bridesmaid. They were dressed alike in halter dresses of emerald green polyester crepe. The accompanying jackets had collars and cuffs trimmed in white maribou fur. Each atten- dant carried a single . white carnation with white streamers. Pat Henderson, brother of the groom, of Wallaceburg was the best man and guests were ushered by Brett Cameron of Wingham, the bride's nephew. The groom and his attendants wore brown tuxedos with brown velvet trim. A dinner was served to mem- bers of the immediate families at Turnberry Tavern. The tables were decorated with white carna- tions and a round wedding. cake on an antique glass cake stand which belonged to the bride's grandmother.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who are teachers at the Temple Baptist Church in Cambridge (Preston), delighted their young audience with songs, magic, object lessons and numbers played on musical water glasses,. A highlight of their presentation was a puppet dramatization of the story of the thicken and the fox. The Chicken who would not believe in the fox, found to his dismay that the fox was very real. The chicken, in turn, was compared to many people who do not believe that God is real.or that .sin is a major problem in their lives. During the morning worship service, 127 listened as Pastor Ross Smith spore of the respons, ibility of the church to "preach the Word of God and thus fulfil the great commission given to us by the Lord". He used as scrip- ture reference portions of the twelfth chapter of Paul's second letter to the Corinthians Wherein the apostle Paul seeks to support his God -ordained apostleship by speaking of the revelations and .visions -which he had experienced from the Lord. • - Pastor Smith and hisbrother sang a-tromb ne u t inti Paul alsoldaythaliainbime solo. Mrs. Ross Smith played the piano and Mrs. Raymond Neill ,presided at. the console of the organ. The evening message given by Pastor Smith was a continuation of his study of Revelation. He defined the word `church' as meaning "called -out ones, men and women who have been called out from the world by God's Holy Spirit and redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and separated unto God the Father". In explain- ing the letter to the church in Smyrna, he said the church had suffered much for her faith in Christ but spiritually, she was fabulously rich. "Each believer had the assurance of sins for- given." A unique ceremony took place in the Baptist Church this Sunday as three generations profeaed a faith in the, living Lord and went through the 'waters of baptism. Mrs. Clark, Mrs. C. O'Gorman and her daughter, Kathryn, were welcomed warmly into the fellowship of the church following the cleansing ceremony. At the evening service, Pastor Ross Smith continued his study of Revelation, speaking about the church in Pergamos. He com- pared that church to modern-day churches and people who cam to ,t the ways orthe devil,:j�"Ang their actions. He said that ,any, thing that comes between, the Christian and Christ is wrOlg ancl if the Christian finds himself In .a compromising situation or - efrr.. -7v cumstances where l's Nome not being .honored, -he must out'. Mr. Smith stressed the impor- tance of the Christian being wilt- ing to 'take . a stand for Christ'• and let the world know heis a be- liever. At the evening service Ur* Raymond Neill provided organ music and Mrs. Smith presided at the piano. Frank Collar sang a solo, "I Ajn Not Worthy". The pastor's topic at the morn- ing `. service was `Hospitality' as he spoke of the concern we must show for others. He used his his scripture reference portions of Paul's second letter to' heCorind thians wherein he accused' them. of claiming to be something they were not.
