The history of Cavan thumb is well
worthy of a thnnkfulretrospeot and while
many of the ether worthies have joined
the ohurob triumphant their planes have
been taken by a no lees sturdy class of
men who will no doubt do their best to
not only maintain the record of the past
but to aid by word and deed in making
the future hietory of the congregation
worthy of the illnstriooe name borne by
their ahuroh. In this praiseworthy
determination the pastor, session and
managers will be loyally supported by
the fine families constituting the mem•
berabip.
nnSTORY OS CAvEN omraea.
The plain facts in the story of the "life of
Cavan Church, Winthrop, are soon told. It's
history does not date so far back as that of
con negations whose jubilees are now being
eele�brased, but fewer though its years have
been and briefer its story, there is very much
that is interesting and worth while to tell,
Far some years pravlons to its organization
services were held in the Temperance Hall
and School House,. also in various horses in
the neighborhood, conducted by Ravels, M,
Barr, of Himpurhey, and Arch, MaDiarmid,
Molijllop. Some still on the roll of Cavell
church were present on those intereebing
days and have fragrant memories of the rug-
ged and devout man who first eame to them
with the message of Love and Truth. It was
not until the year 1875, the Annus Hamra -
hilt of the Canadian Presbyterian aliarch,
that steps were taken toward organization.
Inthat year, mainly through the efforts of
the late Andrew Govenlook and Rev. Thos.
Thomson, now of Van/eek Hill, men of great
energy andChristian zeal, a. petition from
members within the vicinity of Winthrop,
and graying for organization, canoe before
the Session of Duffs Church, bMoKillop. With
its stamp of approval the Session seat it for-
ward to the Presbytery aileron. On Aug.
10011, 1876, the petition came before Presby-
tery, its prayer was granted and Rev. Mr,
Thomson was given permission bo proceed
with the organization.
The various steps toward organization and
consolidation were soon taken. 011 the 19th
of August the congregation was organized
with 24 members on the roll. Immediate
steps were taken to build a ehm'oh and so
quickly did everybody move that ere the year
closed the congregation had taken possession
of its first and only cliurah home. On Deo.
20th the ohureh was opened by the late Dr,
Cdven, then Principal of Knox College, whose
worthy and honored name the congregation
deoidsd to take and henceforth it was known
as Oaven Chnrnla, Winthrop. For two years
Rev. Mr. Thomson remained and with en-
thusiasm carried on the work. Re left the
congregation with membership greatly aug-
mented and thoroughly united.
After a short vacancy, the late Rev.Peter
Muagrnve was called and on Sept. 2111,1917,
he was inducted and at once entered heartily
into the work, Prom the very beginning of
his long pastorate he won the affection and
esteem of all, and the years but deepened
and strengthened the tie. In season and out

century he gave himself in hereto and self,
