were leaders- in the movement to
build the new .church were: J. Whid

and St. Andrew's Church became
know as St. Andrews United Church.
Those who did net enter the union
were disbanded foe awhile but the
Presbyterian W.M.S. continued to
work and soon a congregation was
organized ; and since that time ser-
