preventive services, in bringing this
rate down.

CAVAN CHURCH MARKS
75TH ANNIVERSARY
(This history of Cavan Cltnrch was
compiled by Mr. 11. K. McFarlane.)
On this seventy-fifth anniversary
of the opening for worship of Cavan
Church we look back over the years
with thankfulness to God, as we con-
sider the measure of success that hue
crowned the history of our church,
In July 1875 a petition for the or-
ganization of this congregation was
presented to the Presbytery of Huron
signed by a number of members and
adherents of the surrounding aerob-
es residing in the vicinity of Win-
throp. On August 10th of that year
this request was granted, and the
Rev. T. G, Thompson, then pastor of
Duff's Church, McKillop, was in-
structed to proceed with the organ-
ization of the congregation.
Upon the invitation of Mr. Andrew
Govenlock, services were, for a time,
conducted in his house; then the
schoolhouse was used, until the first
church building of frame construc-
tion was completes, and opened for
public worship, in December, just
four months after the organization
of the congregation; and dedicated
on December 29 by Professor Cavan,
of Knox College, after whom the
church was named. The present brick
building was erected during the past-
orate of the Rev. D. Carswell, in the
year 1907; the corner stone being
laid in September, with dedication
services on January 12, 1908, with
Professor Robertson, of Knox Col-
lege, as special speaker.
The pastors who have ministered to
this congregation during the past sev-
enty-five years are as follows: Rev. T.
G. Thompson, 1875 to 1876; Rev.
Peter Musgrove 1877 until his demise
in May 1903, a period of twenty-six
years; Rev. D. Carswell, 1903 to 1919
when he resigned following the death
of Mrs. Carswell, he having served
sixteen years; Rev. J. A. Ferguson,
1920 to 1927, serving seven and one-
half years; Rev. John Smith, who
served as stated supply until June 30,
1928; Rev. W. F. Smith, who served
during the next five years, resigning
in 1938, to be followed by Rev. G. E,
Morrow until 1937; Rev. R. W. Craw,
who ministered for four years, retir-
ing from the active ministry in 1941,
and passing to his reward on January
5. 1945; Rev, W. 3, Patton, who was
inducted on July 4, 1941, and served
for a period of six years, to be fol-
lowed by Rev. S. R. Peters, who was
pastor for three years, being forced
to retire because of ill health. During
the closing six months of his ministry
the Rev. C. W. Down and the Rev, D.
A. MacMillan rendered a helpful and
appreciated service by supplying on
the field. The present mihister, Rev.
H. E. Livingstone, was inducted on
June 29th of this year. Of the former
ministers Rev. D. Carswell, Rev. John
Smith, Rev. W. F. Smith, Rev. G. E,
Morrow, Rev: W. J. Patton, and Rev.
J. R. Peters are still living.
The members of the first Session
were Messrs. Jas.. Hillen, Daniel
Campbell, and Robert Calder. Those
of the present Session are Messrs.
Calvin Hillen, W. Dodds. R. K. Mc-
Farlane, W. Somerville. and Oliver
Anderson.
The. Sunday School was organized
during the same year as the congre-
gation, and has given continuous ser-
vice ever since. Mr. A. Govenlock
was the first Superintendent, serv-
ing for twenty-five years, until his
death in 1899. Mr. Thomas Dodds, I
the next Superintendent, served until
his retirement in March 1944, a term I
of forty-five years, At present the
Superintendent is Mr. William Dodds,
with Mr. Earl' Hawley as assistant. !
No record is available of the early
Board of Managers. Mr. Ernest Toll
is Chairman of the present Board of
Stewards.
In September 1900, a Women's
Organization, known as The Ladies'
Society of Christian Workers, was,
formed, with Mrs. Musgrove as Pre-'
sident..One of the original members
of this Society is still living, in the
person of -Mrs. J. M. Govenlock, of
Seaforth. The oldest living President
is Mrs. John McClure. of Winthrop,
now in her eighty-eighth year. In
1915 this organization became an as-
sociate of the Woman's Missionary
Society, with Mrs. Robert Archibald
as President. In 1919 it became an
Auxiliary of the W.M.S., and has
continued as such since; with Mrs.
E. Toll as the present President of
the W.M.S., and Mrs. R, McClure
President of the Woman's Associa-j
tion.
The first Young People's Org�aniz-
ationwas formed in 1005 es a Guild, i
with Mr. Robert Beattie as President,
In 1916 it was re -organized as a,
Young People's Society, with Mr.
Hiram Blanchard as President. The
present President is Miss Dorothy
Dodds,
The first Mission Band was organ-
ized in April 1931, with the present
leader, Mrs. 'William Dodds, in charge.
In 1925 this Congregation voted
itself into the United Church of Can-
ada, and on October 4 of that year
cel ebrated its Fiftieth Anniversar:V,
with Principal Gandier, of Knox Col-
lege, as guest speaker, and Rev. J. A,
Ferguson as pastor. The congrega-
tion also observed its 'Diamond jubi-
lee hi 1935, during the pastorate of
Rev. O. E. Morrow, with Principal
Davidson, of EmManuel College, as
visiting preacher for the services.
As we review the devotion and
achievements of those worthy pion-
eers, both ministers and people, Ivo
pray that this Church may continue
to he "The: House of God, the Gate
of Heaven" to all who worship there-
in. "Lord God of Hosts, be with us
yet, Lest we forget! (,est we forget!"
