As nearly as can be estimated services were con- ducted in the community as far back as six years previous to this. date. The ministers who conducted the ser- vices were stationed on what was known as the Elma Mission of the Wesleyan Methodist Ohurch. Even- tually its centre became Trow- bridge which has written records of official minutes dating back to the Year 1856. James Griffin was the firstecordin R Steward and Hismini- ster s first was Rev, J. 0, 1 Dyer 'vet or- dained, and was his second, year on the Mission, which composed Elmo- and lmaand parte of Wallace and Morniugton. According to the last Official meeting of the year 1866 there were encourag- ing Cigna of prosperity as many were added to the church. The officials for the year were : Local preachers, James Collins and Oorneliue Collins ; stewards, Wm. Zearin and a mac named Byngham m Class leaders, , JamesCollins Ool rand John Ooaene In 1857 Elms was constituted a sep- arate Mission with Rev, D. Hunt as missionary. First quarterly board meeting was held on August 8th, 1857. The finances were recorded in L. S. D. and Mr. Hunt's salary was 40 pounds for the year. His moving expenses were 2 pounds, 10 shillings. At the November meeting of that year the financial returns were six pounds, 10 shillings, 7 1-2 pence. Building committee was appointed to superintend"the erection of the first Methodist Church in Trowbridge. Listowel is first mentioned in the minutes, May 28rd, 1858. Listowel broughtfld Od. At this meeting it is also recorded that a new class, had been formed in Moroi ngton (probably Oarthage), Andrew Harvey was ap= pointed leader for the class, The first financial returns from the Morn- ingtou class were in August, 1858 and were 9s 4 1-2d. At this meeting Alex- ander' Walker was appointed Steward for the class, A resolution was passed should be strictly enforced. The that the rules respecting the use of in- toxicants except in cases of sickness "town plot" was the 110100 of the In 1859 2 preachers were 50111 to the place where official meetings were fre- quently held. Later the name Trow- bridge was given the'"town pint Mission : Rev, J. Oreane and Bro. Ofoss. Finances fou the year were re- corded in dollars and Cents, The fol- lowing were the items of the year for M. Oreane .• Salary 00 pounds ;,board 50 pounds ; house rent, 7 pounds 10 s.; home keep, 10 pounds; moving ex - pensee, 5 pounds 6 s, At the close of the year 1859 arrangements were mads for the young preacher to board around : let, 2nd, tied, and 4th quart - ere 01Ptetterson's, Burk's, Code's and Larges, Travelling expenees`rnust have been comparatively cheap in these daye as $2 was paid J. Oreane and $1.50 to Rev. Geo, McRea for one quarter, Official meetings se,ere frequently held at Large's school house which was on the 8th Oon. at the fires ' cor- ner East of Atwood. Here was the home of John Large, the father' of Rev, Alfred Large, who was killed by a robber in our Japan Mission nearly 40 years ago. In those days produce Was often given the minister in payment on'.sal- ary, At one official meeting such re. turns totalled $88.48. The largest re- turns came from'1'rowbridge, In the May meeting, of $62, $30,47 Is credited Trowbridge and only 52 to, Listowel, At this meeting cue of the local. preaches was dieelplined by the pees - lug of this resolutions 'That in con* ssgnenca of Bro.-----,-having vlolat- ed the discipline of our church by ab, senting himself from Claes and speak- ing improperly of ministers and mem- bers, his license as a local preacher be not renewed." neve. J, Sanderson and Alin Arm- strong became tate ministers in 1862. This year the Dowd asked fora $401) grsntfrom.the Missionary Society. At the Februrary meeting of 1863 instruction was given Rev, 3, Sander- son to purchase a lot in the village of Listowel for a chapel. November meeting of the Baine year directed the travelling preachers to drop John- ston's appointment and go to Listowel preaching every Sunday, In May. 1864, application was made to the Ohuroh relief fund for money to assist in paying off the debt on the church in Lietowel. Rev. Mr, Oorekman was assistant to Rev. J. Sanderson in 1884' and at November meeting was assign- ed to Listowel for the remainder of the year. Irt 1$86 Rev. Wilson Brown offered to hoard the minister, Rev. Mr. Oltant, for $110 for the year. The offer was accepted and a levy; put up- on each 'class to raise that amount. Thus ended the custom of young preachers boarding around. The ministers through all those years. occupy .much space with finan- ces. Deficits in salary were the com- mon experience. For the year end- ing 1863, the deficit of Rev. J, Sander, son was $147,71 and that of Rev. John Armstrong $67.38. The first meution of Donegal in the minutes occurs on Aug, 12th, 1885, where $1,42 was reported. In Novem- ber of the same year the credit is $9. During the Winter of 1864, mater- ial was hauled for the filet Donegal church. Wm. Wilson, Atwood, as- sisted in this work with his oxen: The late Moses Harvey and the late Samuel Vipond canvassed the com- munity for subscriptions for the new church. Each of these men gave $100. Tbe late John Young signed $50 on a daily wage of 60 cents. The .building was completed in 1884 and dedicated on Feb. 14th, 1865. As far as is now known only two persona are with us who attended this dedication service, namely, Mrs: John Young, who is supposed to have been the first white child born in Eima, and William Wil- son, Atwood, On the day of dedica- tion there was a motto on either side of the pulpit, the writing iwas in white letters on a' black surface. One of these read: "Honor the Lord with thy substance and the first fruits of thine increase so shall thy barns be filled with ,plenty and thy presses burst out with new wine." The present splendid church was erected in 1911 during the pastorate of , Rev. J. 0. Reid. The late Rev. James Livingstone preached morning and evening and Rev. E. A. Fear in the afternoon. o n. On the second Sunday Y Rev. GeorgeDewey conducted the ser- vices. e A long succession of splendid men have ministered to the people through the agency of Donegal Methodirit Church.

As nearly as can be estimated services were con- ducted in the community as far back as six years previous to this. date. The ministers who conducted the ser- vices were stationed on what was known as the Elma Mission of the Wesleyan Methodist Ohurch. Even- tually its centre became Trow- bridge which has written records of official minutes dating back to the Year 1856. James Griffin was the firstecordin R Steward and Hismini- ster s first was Rev, J. 0, 1 Dyer 'vet or- dained, and was his second, year on the Mission, which composed Elmo- and lmaand parte of Wallace and Morniugton. According to the last Official meeting of the year 1866 there were encourag- ing Cigna of prosperity as many were added to the church. The officials for the year were : Local preachers, James Collins and Oorneliue Collins ; stewards, Wm. Zearin and a mac named Byngham m Class leaders, , JamesCollins Ool rand John Ooaene In 1857 Elms was constituted a sep- arate Mission with Rev, D. Hunt as missionary. First quarterly board meeting was held on August 8th, 1857. The finances were recorded in L. S. D. and Mr. Hunt's salary was 40 pounds for the year. His moving expenses were 2 pounds, 10 shillings. At the November meeting of that year the financial returns were six pounds, 10 shillings, 7 1-2 pence. Building committee was appointed to superintend"the erection of the first Methodist Church in Trowbridge. Listowel is first mentioned in the minutes, May 28rd, 1858. Listowel broughtfld Od. At this meeting it is also recorded that a new class, had been formed in Moroi ngton (probably Oarthage), Andrew Harvey was ap= pointed leader for the class, The first financial returns from the Morn- ingtou class were in August, 1858 and were 9s 4 1-2d. At this meeting Alex- ander' Walker was appointed Steward for the class, A resolution was passed should be strictly enforced. The that the rules respecting the use of in- toxicants except in cases of sickness "town plot" was the 110100 of the In 1859 2 preachers were 50111 to the place where official meetings were fre- quently held. Later the name Trow- bridge was given the'"town pint Mission : Rev, J. Oreane and Bro. Ofoss. Finances fou the year were re- corded in dollars and Cents, The fol- lowing were the items of the year for M. Oreane .• Salary 00 pounds ;,board 50 pounds ; house rent, 7 pounds 10 s.; home keep, 10 pounds; moving ex - pensee, 5 pounds 6 s, At the close of the year 1859 arrangements were mads for the young preacher to board around : let, 2nd, tied, and 4th quart - ere 01Ptetterson's, Burk's, Code's and Larges, Travelling expenees`rnust have been comparatively cheap in these daye as $2 was paid J. Oreane and $1.50 to Rev. Geo, McRea for one quarter, Official meetings se,ere frequently held at Large's school house which was on the 8th Oon. at the fires ' cor- ner East of Atwood. Here was the home of John Large, the father' of Rev, Alfred Large, who was killed by a robber in our Japan Mission nearly 40 years ago. In those days produce Was often given the minister in payment on'.sal- ary, At one official meeting such re. turns totalled $88.48. The largest re- turns came from'1'rowbridge, In the May meeting, of $62, $30,47 Is credited Trowbridge and only 52 to, Listowel, At this meeting cue of the local. preaches was dieelplined by the pees - lug of this resolutions 'That in con* ssgnenca of Bro.-----,-having vlolat- ed the discipline of our church by ab, senting himself from Claes and speak- ing improperly of ministers and mem- bers, his license as a local preacher be not renewed." neve. J, Sanderson and Alin Arm- strong became tate ministers in 1862. This year the Dowd asked fora $401) grsntfrom.the Missionary Society. At the Februrary meeting of 1863 instruction was given Rev, 3, Sander- son to purchase a lot in the village of Listowel for a chapel. November meeting of the Baine year directed the travelling preachers to drop John- ston's appointment and go to Listowel preaching every Sunday, In May. 1864, application was made to the Ohuroh relief fund for money to assist in paying off the debt on the church in Lietowel. Rev. Mr, Oorekman was assistant to Rev. J. Sanderson in 1884' and at November meeting was assign- ed to Listowel for the remainder of the year. Irt 1$86 Rev. Wilson Brown offered to hoard the minister, Rev. Mr. Oltant, for $110 for the year. The offer was accepted and a levy; put up- on each 'class to raise that amount. Thus ended the custom of young preachers boarding around. The ministers through all those years. occupy .much space with finan- ces. Deficits in salary were the com- mon experience. For the year end- ing 1863, the deficit of Rev. J, Sander, son was $147,71 and that of Rev. John Armstrong $67.38. The first meution of Donegal in the minutes occurs on Aug, 12th, 1885, where $1,42 was reported. In Novem- ber of the same year the credit is $9. During the Winter of 1864, mater- ial was hauled for the filet Donegal church. Wm. Wilson, Atwood, as- sisted in this work with his oxen: The late Moses Harvey and the late Samuel Vipond canvassed the com- munity for subscriptions for the new church. Each of these men gave $100. Tbe late John Young signed $50 on a daily wage of 60 cents. The .building was completed in 1884 and dedicated on Feb. 14th, 1865. As far as is now known only two persona are with us who attended this dedication service, namely, Mrs: John Young, who is supposed to have been the first white child born in Eima, and William Wil- son, Atwood, On the day of dedica- tion there was a motto on either side of the pulpit, the writing iwas in white letters on a' black surface. One of these read: "Honor the Lord with thy substance and the first fruits of thine increase so shall thy barns be filled with ,plenty and thy presses burst out with new wine." The present splendid church was erected in 1911 during the pastorate of , Rev. J. 0. Reid. The late Rev. James Livingstone preached morning and evening and Rev. E. A. Fear in the afternoon. o n. On the second Sunday Y Rev. GeorgeDewey conducted the ser- vices. e A long succession of splendid men have ministered to the people through the agency of Donegal Methodirit Church.
