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.
