the good people of T7nio)) church for
the important ceremony of laying the
foundation stones of their proposed
new edifice, situated on the 11th Con,

When the speak of Union appoint- .

four churches, formerly known as
Whitfield's, Bethel, Jubilee and Hem

gether are commencing a new era in
their history by the erection of a
modern church and horse sheds.
The pastor, (Rev. D. Wren), Build-
ing Committee and ladies of the con-
gregation had their plans so well laid
that everything ran like clockwork
throughout the exercises and that
they were crowned with success WAS
only what might have been expected,
With such a start and the united
energetic spirit that prevails the com-
pletion is only a natter of time and
possibly the brightest days of their
history ate before them;
Weather conditious we):!e such on
Tuesday, together with the holiday,
that people came from far and neat to
attend the important event and the
company roust have numbered at
least 1000.
Rev, Mr. Hibbert, chairman of
Wingham District, was invited'
by Rev. Mr. Wren to take chargge of
the afternoon ceremony, which he
did to the satisfaction of all, At 2
p. m. the service commenced and in
stead of naming one stone as alt
corner stone this was quadrupled and

went through without a hitch, the
company withdrew to the school
grounds across the road where plat-
form and seats had been arranged and
after au anthem by the choir, happy,
pithy addresses were made by Revds.
Messrs. Wren, McKelvie, Hussey and
Lundy, Jas. Bowman, M. P. and the
quartette who lead wielded the
trowels. Mr. Baker read an interest-
