it
After 'almost a century of exist-
enne 'Ebenezer United Church, in
Goderich Township, closed its doors
June 30. Situated on a long wind-
ing township road, four miles north
of Holmesville, the small„ white
frame church was built about 1860
by a handful of pioneers.
The decision to close the church'
,was __arrived at sone twn.__.months_
ago, at a meeting of the congrega-
tion, which had 35 members, from
'13 families; but the outcome was
not a unanimous one. Said one
member, whose grandchildren re-
present the fifth generation con-
nected with the church: "We al-
ways had a dandy -,little congrega-
tion, but, with preachers becoming
fewer, little congregations like ours
are being cut out, and it is too bad.
We have money in the treasury."
Fo'r years, Ebenezer has bee
connected with the Holmesville
Church, but when the latter con-
gregation began to dwindle,. , and
finally closed its doors to join with
Wesley- Willis United Church, Clin-
ton, the problem of a minister
arose..
Biblical Name
The name Ebenezer, taken from
the Bible, and meaning "Stone of
help," was a common name among
the Methodist .denomination iri the
early days, and the church retained
its name after union in 1926. The
land for the church was given -by
John Rudd, whose daughter later
served as librarian in Clinton for
50 years. Some names connected
with `the church in the early days
are John Holmes, James and Wil-
liam Laithwaite;' . Henry Ball,
George Oakes and Aubert and Chris
Nesbitt. John Armst.orng; whose

It is expected that the building
will be dismantled after one year,
as it is being retained for that
period as a Sunday School.

MASSEY-HARRIS FIRST WITH
FULL SCALE TEST TRACK
FOR FARM EQUIPMENT
Wide -spread and fast has been' the swing to modern mechanization.
Urgent demands have been made upon implement engineers to
develop new models to keep up with the needs of . agriculture.
To get information on 'materials, designs and features in hours and
days instead of the usual months and years, Massey -Harris designed
and built the first full scale test track for tractors and modern
power farm equipment.
On this test track the machines lug heavy loads, bump and shake
bounce and sway, jolt and jar, climb steep grades, and spin round
and round. As -they go through the test, electronic instruments write
the inside story of stress and strains and complete records are kept
of t:, a da* to day wear and tear.
ese / controlled supervised ,i: tests help Massey -Harris encs,
design • equipment that will offer more advantages in ease of opera:
tion, long life with low upkeep cost and greater ability in sang time
and labour. For quality, satisfaction, and service with Inern
mechanization,°equip with Massey -Harris!
