ATTEND OPENING OF
NEW CHURCH
Attending the opening and dedi-
cation services of the new St. And-
rew's Presbyterian Church at Isling-
ton on Sunday from this vicinity
were: Mr. and. Mrs. Hugh McLach-
lan, Mrs. Elmore Stephenson and
family, Mr. Thos, Robinson, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm, McKenzie and Grace (Ex-
eter), Mrs, Philip McKenzie (Stan-
ley); Mrs. John Cairns (Brucefield)
and Mrs. Howard Currie (Clinton).
The following is from the "Isling-
ton Presbyterian".
The- Rev. Andrew Hugh McKenzie,
our genial minister, was born on
the 3rd concession of Stanley, a son
of Mrs. Hugh McLachlan, of Eg-
niondville, and the late William Mc-
Kenzie. After attending a rural
public school he went to Hensall
Continuation School and Clinton
Collegiate Institute, completing his
Honour Matriculation when seven-
teen. It was during his last year at
High School that he definitely de-
cided to become a minister, and so
in the Fall of 1936 he started a
three-year course at the Toronto
Bible College, during which time he
edited a college paper and the year
book. Being the sixth member of a
family of eight Andy found it nec-
essary to provide his own living and
REV. ANDREW D. MCKENZIE.
college expenses by whatever means
were available. He enrolled in an
Arts course of Honor Philosophy and
English at University College in
Toronto and during the first year
assisted Rev. F. G. Vesey in his work
at Parkdale Presbyterian Church.
Summers were spent in serving mis-
sion fields in the West, and while
ministering in St. Andrew's Church,
Edmonton, he completed his studies
in Arts at the University of Alberta.
The following year while minister-
ing in Westmount Church in Edmon-
ton and Vegreville, a small charge
eighty miles distant, he married Isa-
lbel'IIobinson, daughter of Mr. Thos.
Robinson, Egmondville, and the late
Mrs. Robinson, also from Huron
County and a former student of
Toronto Bible College. That year he
began the study of theology at St.
Stephen's -College, a United Church
College in Edmonton,
Returning to Ontario in 1943 he
continued his ministerial training at
Knox College, partly under the fa-
culty of Presbyterian Coller•e, Mon-
treal, supplying in the pulpits of the
Baxter -Angus -Ivy circuit, and the
Holstein -Fairbairn charge in Grey
County in the second and third
years respectively. On emerging
from college in 1945 the Rev, And-
rew McKenzie was ordained into the
Christian Ministry '(at Holstein, On-
tario). He graduated from Presby-
terian College, Montreal receiving
the B.D. degree, the Calvin Gold
Medal, the Daniel Penman Graduate
Scholarship for post -graduate stu-
dies, and the I)r. Kelly scholarship
for coming first in the third -year
class.
Following a fifteen -month so-
journ in the Maritimes where he
served the circuit of Port Elgin,
Sackville and Dorchester, N.B., he
was declared eligible to receive a
call to any Presbyterian pulpit in
Canada, having discharged all re-
quirements of the Mission Board of
our church. The following year was
spent in post -graduate studies in
the Biblical Field at Yale Divinity
School, New Haven, Connecticut. On
returning to Canada, Rev. A. H. Mc-
Kenzie spent five months preaching
in various pulpits across the pro-
vince, and on November 27, 1947,
he was inducted as minister at the
Islington Presbyterian Church, hav-
ing refused a call to Knox Presby-
terian Church, Windsor.
Four -and -a -half strenuous years
have passed since that date during
which the congregation has exper-
ienced remarkable growth. Andy is
still convinced that our church has
prospects of amazing development
and a wonderful future of- service
for Christ. To complete the family
at the Manse are three children,
Joanne Ruth, eight in June, Andrew
Klan, two, and baby Marsha Lynn.
Along with his church and family
ties he has found time to take an ac-
tive part in community life, being a
member of Kingsway Kiwanis, see-
retary-Treasurcr of the Islington-
Iiingsway-Sunnylea Ministerial - As-
sociation, an executive member of
the Neighborhood Worker's Associa-
tion, and Vice -President of the Tor-
onto Religious Educational Council.
How hi' ever finds bine for howling,
badminton, golf and other recrea-
tional activities no one knows.
This congregation came into ex-
istence almost thirty years ago. Its
first service of public worship was
held in the Islington Public School
on September 24th, 1922, and the
first Communion on October 15th,
1922, at which time seventy-nine
members were received.
.On October 12th, 1948, the con-
gregation authorized the organiza-
tion of a building effort and a few
weeks later a Building Fund was in-
itiated. The congregation, though
still relatively small, responded mag-
nificently to every appeal for finan-
cial and other assistance and the
work went steadily forward. Today
the congregation rejoices in - the
opening of its new house of worship
and looks eagerly forward to its
fourth decade of service in this com-
munity.
