in I11S5'1 a meeting was"called at the
home of William Roy to consider the
building of a church. To this meet-

and they decided on erecting a church

father of Dr. 'Proudfoot of Monk -
ton, who rode on horseback thirty -
l3, e mites from London to conduct
the ceremony. In about ten years the
church was too ,small to serve all its
congregation so some of the mem-
berg withdrew to. join with others in
the outlying community to form a
new' church. 'Arnoegst the nafe's •rc-
called were those of ,Norris, VI'btler,
Kennedy, MclD'ougall and McVey
from the !Staf'fa group; and (Barr,
Currie, ggenyilton, .McKellar and Park
frons the 'Cromarty group. They 'form-

0e n ria nil -the Pres-
byterian Church. The minister call-
ed a meeting of Rays -for the saute
purpose and it was moved and sec-
onded that no vote would "be taken
to split up the' church, All but two
inelnbers rose to 'favor this n'totion
and no amendment was brought in,
hence they united with the Method-
ist Church to become a United
Church of Canada.
'Another group 'from' Roys then

THE CALL OF SPRING
Of all the four seasons of the
year, spring is possibly ' the most
heartily welcome. 'The cold and
dreary winter taxes the vitality of
both man and beast, and' life is show-
ing signs o'f the strain. Spring'heralds'
the end of the eternal fight between
the cruel th'and of winter and the pro-
tective 'hand of Nature, and, as is -al-
ways SD, Nature emerges victorious.
Somee of her children may have per-
ished in the struggle, but the great
majority have been saved under the
shelter of her 'hand, and life for theta
begins anew. !Ends appear on the

odd things and break away from the
orthodox, and possibly the saltie idea
is at the back of such action's in bird.
and. animal life. Life, 'however, would'
be a dull affair if conventions were
strictly -adhered to.
Animal life is much more reluctant
to respond to the call of spring than
bird life. The hedgehog, the dormouse
and the frog family will not rouse
themselves from their slumbers until
the suit becomes warm and the earth
has had time to bring 'forth food 'for
their needs. Birds can find food to
exist where these animals veou•ld'
starve. The squirrel, which only par-
tially hibernates, is a law unto him-
self. >Nature has gifted him with wis-
dom to store food in the atltum•n
when the nut ,harvest is plentiful, and
on a bright, sunny day in early
spring he will rouse himself tempor-
arily and scurry op _ the tree to his
larder for refresh'm'ents. Hie actions
are based on weather conditions, and
he prefers to snooze in comfort, even
on an empty 'stomach, rather than
venture forth on cold . and: dull days.
'Little encouragement is neeeded to
create activity in bird 'life. bright,.

and the crows, -one of our earliest
nesters, can be seen feverishly collect-
ing mateiial for house building, as if
they feared they overlooked their bus-
iness and they let all the world know
about it. Nesting in colonies, 'hig+h up
in the trees, they know that their
homes are immune from trespassers,
and that their ceaseless chatter will
not bring disastrous attention upon
them. IBor-n thieves, the crows have
no scruples regarding where they.
procure materials 'for their nests. Uri -
less 'there is one' bird on guard, others
will quickly tear a neighbor's nest to
pieces and use the inateriat,for them-
selves. But' let another species of bird
approach with evil intentions, and the
whole rookery will unite in ,battle.
A nest is built, not haphazard, but
according to plan, just as a house' is
built. 'Foundations are laid in such a
way as to give strength to the whole
structure and the different materials
utilised are used with a purpose. One
can appreciate that the nest of the
rook, built high tip in tree, and ex-
posed to every wind that blows would
have. to be strong and well wedged
amongst the branches. No two birds
build their -nests alike. Some have
comfort without 'tidiness, others com-
bine both qualities, while others 'build,
no nest at all, but lay- their eggs on
ground that harmonizes, best with the
colour of the eggs.
The nest of the common sparrow is
a warns but untidy 'bundle of grass
and .feathers, while the clamed -like
structure Of the long-tailed tit is -a
work of art and the nest of the chaf-
finch appears as if the bird had used
a compass to make it absolutely
round.
The gathering of nest material calls
for untiring' energy.' The late Earl
Grey of IF'al'lodba tells in one of his
books on bird life that, on taking the
nest of the willow warbler 10 pieces
he counted no fewer than. 11;,0'0 tiny
feathers. A wild duck uses her own
fealthers to line beer nest and the in-
side is as comfortalble as a down
quilt. Some birds, on the other hand,.
use few or 110 feathers, The •blackbird'
