THE VOICE OF BETHEL Ii
REV. HOWARD E. MINAKER
LOST "DESPAIR"
Bilney FOUND "PEACE" -
the Martyr while a student at Cambridge became
anxious about his SOUL. He • became tpossessed of a new •
Testament. When he saw the words, "This is a faithful saying
and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save SINNERS (1 Tim. 1:15) he stopped, read again,
believed in Christ, and was SAVED. He afterwards, stated: t.
"This one sentence, through • God's inward • teaching, did"; so
rejoice my heart that I found PEACE and lost my DESPAIR.
This wonderful PEACE accoMpanies the cleansing of the blood
of C irEt. The salVatian -uf Jest s• Christ "purges the heart;"
"transforms the nature"' and besbws "eternal- life." One Who
receives anything less does not h e GENUINE salvation.
The difference between the ONE and OTHERS is the dif-
`feretice between GUESS and KNOW; LIFE andDEATH, HEAV-
EN or HELL, .SAVED or LOST, and the BROAD dr NARROW
way. A TREMENDOUS difference the GREATEST ever record-
ed in time or eternity. There is no PERSON or CHURCH can
claim exclusive rights to the impprtion of 'salvation. Jestis said
I am the WAY, the TROTH and the LIFE. No mail edimeth
unto the Father but by me St. John 14:6. I am THE door, icy
.ME if ANY man 'enter in HE SHALL, BE SAVER). St. John 7:9.
It is not Jesus AND other meaiig lt• 18 Jes'ts ONLY. Ile is the
ONLY WAY to -heaven. 'He is the -ONLY LIGHT to glory, He is
the ONLY BREAD for our soul, He'' s the ONLY GOOD SHEP-
HERD, • Who .can lead aright.- ° IVONIyEIOE'UL is His ,Name!

In Ilistory Of Lake Iluron Villa
Purchase of "The Little:Inn" in
*field by Miss Ruth ,Eleanor Hay-
man, of London, brings to rnind the
history :of the village south of
Goderich onLake Huron and the
important role played by the' , otel.
The following story from the Clin-
ton News -Record tells of the inn's
storied past:.
We welcome to the pillage this
week Miss' Ruth Eleanor Hayman,
of London, who recently purchased
"The Little Inn."
Miss Hayman is ..no stranger in
Bayfield. She has been coming
here with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fps W. llayman, for 15 years.
They pure'ased a cottage from
William tMcVittie in the Jowett
Cottage area about 1945.
Previous to coining here, Miss
Hayman was a bookkeeper at
various times with firms in Toronto
and London. She enjoys cooking,
housekeeping_ and meeting_ _. the
public, acid so the idea appealed
to her and prompted the purchase
of this historic old, building. At
present she is engaged in restoring
some of its antiquity. Mr. Herald
of the Heirloom Shop, London, is
doing her ' decorating, and she
hopes to pick up antiques in keep-
ing with periods of the past. One
relic of stage coach days is a long
coaching horn which came out of
the Meredith home in London.
When we speak ••of antiquity in
these parts we are naturally limit-
ed to about 120 years.
Canada Company Title
The title of this property comes
from the Crown to the Canada
Company, to Baron de Tuyll (who
negotiated the purchase • of 1,500
acres on either side of the river
in 1830 on the advice of Captain,
later Admiral, Henry Bayfield who
selected the site in 1929).
One, John Cronan, acquired the
lot from Baron de Tuylr in 1836,
the year of the old Baron's death.
Clan Gregor Square and Main
Street had been logged off the
year before, and i>1 .1837 the streets
were laid out and graded. Very
little is known of John Cronan.
The surname is familiar to old-
timers but any facts concerning
him have vanished into the past.
In 1847, Donald Fraser acquired
the property, Lot 172,, Main Street,
from John Cronan for the sum of
Donald Fraser came here to man-
age a little store for Donald Mc-
Kenzie (who also operated a store
in • London at the time) in what is.
now Charles- Toms' residence. He
was from Pictou, N.S., and may
have come to the Mackenzies who
settled at Hyde Park, or to visit
an aunt, Mrs. Walker in Bruce -
field.
He was the first postmaster in
Bayfield, appointed in 1847 when
the Post Office was opened here.
In August 1850, Donald Fraser
married Miss Mary J. Wallis, •Gode,
rich Township, and went,. 'to live
in a log house ' which he had erect-
ed on the farm, part of iyhich for
Many years was a popular camping
ground known as Iron Springs.
Some years later, he rented the.
farm and returned to the village,
building two brick stores—J. E.'
Hovey's,and the Originalpart of the
Little tnn, in which he kept store
himself. The bricklayer was a
local artisan, Thomas Twentyman.
This store was gutted by fire but
the walls were good. Bayfield was
booming. at this time and Donald
Fraser saw the need of another
hotel, and so "he built onto the
original store. It hail a fiat roof
like most of stores. built here at
that time.
Sells Hotel
On June 16, 1862, Donald Fraser
sold the place tor• Thomas Mosso
for .the _sum _ of. $725 and_ xetur..n ed:.
to -the farm, later building a home
in Goderich.
Thomas Mossop -came to Bayfield
and bought a farm on the Bronson
Line in 1859. He was born in
Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1830, and
was a marine engineer. He first
came to Bayfield on a dredge of
which he was captain, and he
worked out of this ,harbor for some
time. He was' married in Bayfield
in 1862 to Miss Mary Jane Worthy.
And it is quite possible that they
operated the Commercial Hotel f,Qr
a few years.
In 1863, he bought lot 10, Bay-
field Terrace. Some of the child-
ren were born in Bayfield. Miss
Edith Mossop, Varna, born on the
farm after her father's death. in
September, 1875, ,is the only sur-
viving member of his immediate
farr�ily. Mrs..Harold Elliott, Varna,
and Mrs. William Ball, Seaforth,
are granddaughters.
With'. Thomas Mossop on the
dredge was Richard Bailey who
was born in Hull, Yorkshire, Eng-
land. He was an apprenticed ship
builder and came first to Buffalo.
They bought property here to-
gether, and, in the final settlement
on Noveniber 22, 1873, Thomas
Mossop- sold the hotel to Richard
Bailey for $200 'and the latter gave
a clear title to the farm on the
Bronson Line to Mossop.
The hotel appears' to have been
rented for some years. Edward
Elliott operated it for a few years.
His youngest daughter, Lillian (the
late Mrs. H. E. MacKay of the
Albion Hotel) was born there.
Other names associated witig it
in these years were Jim Willm-
son and Jack Johnston. The latter
drove stage to Brucefield and Sea -
forth.
Richard Bailey married Miss
Mary Cleave; daughter q£ Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Cleave. He built on the
back„ part and also the -present

roof. His, son, T. C. _Bailey, pro-
prte°tor of the Now Ritz .Hotel, was
born there and recalled to us in-
eidents 'of his childhood. His fath-
er who owned considerable prop-
erty, had . a harn-raising on the
lot now owned by L. R. McMirll�an,
at tho, corner of Chiafiquy and
Delevan Streets. It .was "Beer nn
the house!' after the raising<.and
when the boys began to feel merry,
they made his father stand up• on
a beer keg and make a speech:
Hides Whiskey
When the .Scott Act came into
force, Richard Bailey hid what
whiskey he had on hand in a corn
stook down on the property 'which
is now-. o,wned by Norman Greer
and ,others. What a time the vil-
lage boys would have had had they
known its whereabouts!
At that time there were some
gay young blades in Bayfield who
"resented the Scott Act. When the
Revenue Officers -came to Bayfield,
a crowd gathered and escorted the
officers to the bridge, firing shots
over their heads to speed them
on their way. Some old-timers say LL PERSONIS HAVING CLAIMS
that they forced them to swallow against the estate of Henry
the warrants -which' were to have Jacob Yungblut, late of the Town -
.been served to hotels Serving( ship:, of Hullett, in the County of
liquor without a license. It '
wasn't safe for a Sheriff or De -
Huron, farmer, who died on
puty to enter the village. But this or about the 20th day .of April,
barricade of the law didn't last too
long, and two young men made a
hasty exit to the United States to'
avoid trouble over'. their part in assets of the Estate will be dis-
tributed.
Brt Tom Bailey avers that his.
father was 00 hotel -keeper. He
didn't like it and would go off to
work on his farm all day and leave
the hotel to fun itself. His mother
didn't care for the busines,,s, either,
but she was fortunate for a time
in having two very capable sisters,
Margaret and Janet Holly, work for
her. Margaret (the late Mrs.
Robert Elliott) was cools and Janet
(the late Mrs. C. Dresser) dining -
room girl. 'They dressed well, and
one small girl of those days recalls
with admiration seeing the sisters
going to church smartly attiredin
blue velvet trimmed, with gold
braid.
In 1895, George Erwin, a black-
smith here and son of early pion-
eers (whose wife was a sister of
Mrs. Bailey) ran the hotel when
the following appeared, in the
August 9 ,edition of the Barfield

On June 11,.1902, Henry Darrow
