Historical Sketch by,
Previous to the erection of the pres-
ent 'church in 11562, senvices were held
in a log building that 'stood just to
the cast of the present site. Very
little is known of the history of this
old log church, although numerous
people ane still living 'who can rem-
ember attind'ing services and 'S'und'ay
ISchool in it.
inuring the ministry of the late John
Mills, the .present church was built
and for some years formed' pant of the
Clinton circuit which included IRatt-
enlbury'Street Church, Clinton, as well
as :K'inlbunn, Losid.eslb'oro, 'Tipperary,
IRudd's and ;Pearson'1s.
lIs . 11070 1Rabtenbury Street Church
became a separate lcharge under the.
pastorat'e Of 'the Rev, J•a'rnea' Graham
and Turn'er's Church formed part of
,•next
Circuit for the , at'desboro C r
the. L t
twelve years under .the 'ministry of
the IRev.'•s Ol'eworth, Crane, Davey,
'Caswell, Hobbs and IH'amilitou.
The union of the Bible !Christian and
the Methodist churches ;while 'Rev.
!John Kenner was pastor of Ontario
Street Church caused another re-
arrangement and 'for a year Turner's,
1Lo'nideslboro, 1Kiniurn and Alma
formed :a circuit with IRlev. ,Mr. ;Fair,
an old minister, and Rev. Mr: th4dlsom,
a young man, as 'pastors. This ar-
ratugemenit'did• mit prove satisfactory
so in 1896 'Turner's and Alma +were
formed into a circuit with a young
man as minister under the survey oIf
O'n'tario Street Church.' This .arratrge-
dnent continued, with the exception of
one year <.(when the 'church .was under
!Sea'forth) till 4904.
The young men who preached dur-
ing this time were Rev.'s ,Armstrong,
Sawyer, (Finlay, Thompson, Gifford,
Steadman, Allen and Coulter.
iRer. Coulter did 'n'at stay 'long and
Rev. Mr. Green, a 'superannuated min-
ister, living in Clinton, filled dna the

When- first built •the- nta'in door was
level, with the floor and outside steps
led up to it. These were removed
about forty -'five 'years ago, so also
.was the 'high pulpit.
'In the early day's singing was led bcy
a precentor,. hut about '4886 .an organ
was installed and Albert Turner ,(now
of Consul, 'Sack,) had the 'honour of
being the first organist, as well as hair-
ing been the !first ;child ,baptised in the
church.
'The building of a 'stairway to the
itipper

choir loft and the closing
part of the lobby have been the llatest
improvements.
The. church has by no means es
taped calamity having been badly d'e
ni'aged by lightning tneny years ago
and .practically unroofed three times
by .windstorms.
'The first shed lay! "along the road
north 'o'f the church on land given by
Thomas Crich ,for the purpose. 'This

and in 1909 the 'pres'ent ,closed' shed
was built. 111 'also suffered' with 'the

and the entrance re -modeled. The latest and no doubt fi'n'est im-
provement 'to the •cli,urch property
was 'the levelling and seeding elf the
cemetery grounds in 1930. This was
no small task and those. who gave of
their time and money to make this
last resiting place of the pioneers of
the district more lbeau'tiful, deserve
much credit.
