REV, JOHN ROSS, D, D.
[0ontinued from page 13
AN SreTORIOAL SREa'OS.
The history of this ohuroh, palled after
the eminent Scottish divine, Rev. An•
drew Melville, dates bank to the year
1854 when ervioe was held in private
houses and in the bush in the Summer
season, The first preacher was a student
from Ho= College, earned Donald M°•
Lean, who died shortly after he left this
station. Then followed Alex. McKay,
Rev. Dr, Fletcher and other students
who anpplied throe months of the year
while College was closed. There was
also an ooaaeiouat sermon preached during
the year but nothing regular. In 1857
an acre of land was bought on Queen and
Tarn berry suets, where Ioopeotor R ,bb's
residence stands, from Thomas Halliday
for 95 and a frame of a obgrob 30 x 40
feet raised. The building was not Suish-
ed until the following year, sa.d work waa
principally volunteer labor. The two
first elders were Donald MoLanoblin and
Gilbert McCallum, Rev, John Per.
gasoo,'from Glengarry Co., was induct-
ed in the year 1864 and put in 15 years
of .faithful service, His eatery at the
commencement was $500, with a free
house, which wee inoreaeed to $800 before
be left. During the first few years of
Rev. Dr. Fergnson's pastorate h5 also
preached at Oranbrook and Walton,
conducting services in both Geelic and
English. The Brussels congregation in
creased in size and strength until, in 1872
old Melville oharoh was thought too
small and a site for building on was looked
f
or. This was secured from T. Maafioh-
ael on William street and contained a of
an aore,.the price paid for it being $130.
The briok for the obgrob was made by
Thos. Ainlay, and the contract given to.
Thos, Brown, of Oranbrook, the total
amonet being $4,500. Of this sum
$2,500 watt seoured before oommenc•
ing to build and the balanoe was borrowed
from a Treat and Laan Co., in Hamilton,
an annual inet1lmentt'with interest oom
ing due on the first of April every year,
To the credit of the congregation it is to
be said that the last payment was made
in April of 1882, so that the ohuroh is
entirely free from debt at the present
time. The size of the bonding is 40x60
feet, gallery on three sides, and a large
and roomy basement, fitted op for Sunday

tions united in Jane of 1895 and have
worked together most harmoniously.
Daring the 25 years of Rev. Dr. Ross'
pastorate the number of families have in.
creased from 80 to 200 ; the mem•
bsrship from 116 to 420; the 000tri•
bottoms to mieeionery and benevolent
objeote from $284 given by the then
separate congregations to over $900 from
the present congregation. Rsv. Dr.
Ross is not only beloved in bis own
ohurah but ie very popular with other
denominations and the pnblio generally.
