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..

Sunday School was organized during the same year as the congre- gation, and has given continuous ser- vice ever since. Mr. A.

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.
