Officio Board Tile 19th and Seth of October, 1047 we commemorate the 7trth y,u. ,1 int• building tnd dedication of our ch arch, the congregation of which had its origin hack in the tear 1056-1157. A )lite' group of belittens gathered for worship at the Boone of James Npai. ing and it was in an upper 00001 01 this . hone that the Rev. Geo. N Cornish preached the first sermon to this group, a denomination known as 1 the Wesley Methodists. In 1859 a. church was built on the .2nd conceselon of McKillop opposite the (now) Maitland Bank Cemetery. This church was at that time sir- netted with the Clinton circuit, and in 11864 separated from Clinton circuit and became an independent charge, It would appear that about this time a move was made and a church built on the site that our present church stands, and after a few years, on ac- count of the rapidly increasing popu- lation, was enlarged, until 1877, when the present edifice was built. The ministers who labored to the spiritual needs of these people to this time, were, besides Rev. G. H. Cornish, Rev. Asakel Hulburt, Rev. W_m. Hayhurst, D Rev. Wm. Price, Rev. D. Kennedy, Rev. Lavell, and Rev. Geo. Buggin. Mr. Buggin was the resident minister at the time of building of the church. Walter Mullins' of Wingltam was the contractor, The Rev. Dr. Ives of Buffalo was the special minister for the opening and dedication. Above the entrance of the church may be seen a large flat sandstone embedded in the brick wall, with this inscription carved on it: Methodist Church, Erected A.D. 1377. This is the, only available record that the church' was built in that year, as the minute church records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire which swept over 0 large portion of the town in 1879. Our present records begin in 1879, two year's after the church. was built. The trustees to the building of the church as recorded on a bond, were Janes Beattie, John Beattie, Alexan- der Armitage, 'Wm. M. Gray, James Leatherland, Martin Charlesworth, Henry Burns, Thos, Lee, Wm. Lee, Graham Williamson, Francis Sperling, James Sperling, Nicolas Young. These 13 true and faithful gentlemen whose signatures comcnitted themselves, their hefrs, administrators, executors and successors to office to a mone- tary obligation from which there was no withdrawal until such times the mortgage was satisfied and re- leased, and it must be admitted that these 13 men were men of tremen- dous devotion and courage and with great vision. This bond was witnessed by Ar- thur Atkinson and in the presence of Dr. Coleman, Mayor; and was the security for a loan of 4500 Stir- ling with the Star Life Assurance Co., of London, England, with inter- est of 7%, pay half yearly. In 1881 a note was discounted for $4,500 in the Bank of Commerce and another in the Bank of Montreal in St. Marys for 51200. This note bore interest rate of 0%, and signed by five members of the Trustee Board, also in 1881, Feb. 25, the Hon. Richard Cartwright gave a very helpful contribution to the trustees for what amount there appears no record. In 1884 a union of the Wesley Episcopal Church with the Wesley Methodist. The trustees of the M. Episcopal Church being John Mode land, John Hargan, Wm. Hargan, Amindus Beam, and Jenus Beam. This church was located on John St. In 18.97 the mortgage of the Star Life Assurance Company was dis- charged and another with the Tem- perance and General Insurance Company for 56,450 at 5%a. This bond was signed as security by Noble Cluff, W. D. Bright, Robt. Willis, James Leatherland, John. Arlin, Geo. W. Sperling, Peter Daly, Benjamin B. Gunn. Dr. F. J. Bur rows, Oliver C. Wilson, Win. Copp, Wm. Hartry, Ches. Clarkson, Janes Lawrence. Mr. Leatherland being the only name to appear on both bonds. Mr. Lee and Mr. Gray were Permitted to remain off the second bond on account of their age. Of the 14 to sign this bond, Dr. Bur- rows lives to witness this 70th year celebration. In 1900 the electric lights were installed replacing the old acetyline light system, and two new furnaces were installed by Mr. IVlullett. In the years of 1904 to 1907 this church had a male quartet of which we were justly proud, and freely ave their talent of song when op- portunity came their way. Mr. Wal- er Willis, Mr, W. D.

The only surviving member whose signature attested to I the bond of 1877. After the fire had consumed the mortgage the emigre- , gation arose and sang most heartily the Doxology. In 1925 Union of the Presbyter- ian Church of Canada, the Metho- dist Church of Canada and the Con- gregational Church of Canada took •place forming the United Church of Canada. 1 The Presbyterian Church of Can - 1 ads have a wonderful history in this district, having a few families in Harpurhey as far back as 1834. For some time they were without a min- ister or church which they missed very much, Those families heard of 'a Presbytery meeting to be held in Galt, and Robt. Scott and son-in- law John Govenlock, were delegated ' to attend this meeting. They tra- velled to Galt, walking the distance of 60 miles. These two delegates placed their mission before the Pres- bytery; they were kindly received and a missionary from the Presby- terian Church in Scotland was sent to the Huron Tract, by the name of Wm. Frazer, taking over the God- erich, Brucefield and Harpurhey Missions. Later he was followed by Rev. Alexander McKenzie, another Missionary. The first Church was built in Harpurhey in 1847 and Rev. A. Mc- Kenzie was called to be their min- ister. In 1854 he was followed by the Rev. Mr. Barr, who remained their minister until 1879, when .Harpurhey united with First Pres- byterian Church, Seaforth, where Rev, A. D. McDonald was Minister. Rev. McDonald was followed by Rev. Dr. Larkin in 1900, who was the resident minister at time of Church Union, when 90 members joined the United Church of Can- ada., The names of the Ministers who ministered to the spiritual need of the Church since 1877 were Rev. Geo. Buggin, 1878; Rev. Janes Graham, 1878-1880; Rev, Thos. 'Cobb, 1880-1882; Rev. John Mills, 1882'-1884; Rev. James Broley, 1884-1886; Rev.J, E. Howell 1886- 1890; Rev.

When the Generalissimo was at the peak of his power, practically every import- ant position in the country was held by sten trained. in the Christian col- leges.
