" TJ a+wet conditions .for both days were Sill the most sanguine could dope 'for the roads were in` ideal, shape f "motoring, ind.00d, •everything seemed to be conspiring tg snake the'event a -genuine success. On Sullhlay • the church was packed, to the doors' bot morning and evening with. those wh came to do honor to, the occasion and to listen to the eloquent and inapining sermons preached by Nev. A. Meltib'- bon, of Fingal Mr. McKibbon is a Walton old boy, and it was quite evi- dent that he made a -very strong ap- peal to his audiences, many members of which knew him as a boy.,' His subject for the morning was, "The Church," and for the evening, "The Moulding of a Life." His treatment of these subjects was not.only inter- esting, but it was of such a nature that it could not" but stimulate thought in all who listened. The choir of Duff's Presbyterian church furnished special music for both ser- vices, and it is• hardly necessary to say that not only the splendid quality of their hinging, but also their will- ingnets to render' assistance, added much to the effectiseness of the day's proceedings. A fowl supper was serve!' In the basement of the church on Monday evening by the iddies of the circbit. The crowd was so large that for some time it taxed all the resources of those who did the cater- ing. But finally all were served and `repaired to the auditorium where ,a most enjoyable time was spent` for the remainder of the evening The programme was opened .by the' audi- ence rising and singing part:of a coronation hymn and the offsrg of a brief prayer. Then Mr. ' Chau,. Boyd, of Bethel church. sang a jubilee song which was much appreciated. This was followed by a series of readings, solos, pianesluets and ad- dresses, all of which were of a high order. Mr. Morley, of Toronto, al- though hampered by the fact that he had not sufficient time to give some of his longer numbers, made a favorable impression on the audi- ence by his dramatic and elocution- ary ability. Miss Rennie, of Zurich, accompanied on the piano by her pu- pil, Miss Ruby Erratt,. captivate rovers of good music by her clear an well trained soprano voice, and by the easy grace with which she rendered her various numbers. Several mini- sters were present, viz: Rev. A. C. Tiffin, of Blyth, and Rev. J. W. But- ton, of Florence, both former pastors; Rev. J. A. Ferguson, of Winthrop, and Rev. A. McKibbon. Each of these gave appropriate addresses, some of them quite naturally reminiscent in character. Mr. W. H. Kerr, of the Brussels Post, was also present and gave a brief historic sketch of Wal - ton's Methodism for the past fifty years. Rev. R. Fulton Irwin of Seaforth, superintendent of the cir- cuit, occupied the chair in his usual efficient manner. A unique phase of the celebration was the making of a jubilee cake by Mrs, James M, Camp- bell. Pieces of this cake are to be sent to former pastors and friends of the church, also to those who took part in Monday evening's programme. Of those who were members of the church when it was dedicated there are only two whose names are still on the register. These are Mrs. Wm. Dennison, of Walton, and Miss Mary Swallow who, with her brother, lives a mile and a half south of the vil- lage; Miss Elizabeth Morrison who was also a member of the church at its dedication, later became the wife of Mr. Robert Ferguson, and is at present a member of the Presbyter- ian church here, as is also her hus- band. As we look back over the past fifty years we are constrained to thank God for the courage and de- votion of the men who sacrificed many of the comforts of Iife in order to make this a Christian community. At this Jubilee Anniversary we feel that we owe them a great debt for the heritage they have handed down to us. And it is for us to prove that we really prize what they have done by accepting the challenge of the present time and going forward in the name of Christ to serve mankind, t' • pttpp} pttacp ini 70 ` fh .the:!' 1 removal o •t' i , t i_., °r relnainn3 Aailie's 't>$jil ;hi •hiadie'a ehareh or .organiettd,op An g�urls' eer bilker 9£'�'homafi it fie, h by the Rev.

Hut owing to the lack of lumber the build- ing was not finished until the follow- ing summer. The seats were made by. sawing off blocks of wood and lay- ing boards on them. The church was opened by Mr. Hastie, who preached' "his first sermon in it on October 282, 386tl:—Nis first /lighting of- t `Ses- sion was held on February 1st, 1867. The elders were Thomas Eadie, Thos. Aitken and Thomas Fortune- The first communion in the church was- held on February 3rd of that year. Mr. Hastie continued his work in Bluevale, Wingham and Eadie's until 1869, whn he withdrew from Eadie's as Wingham wished to have a service every Sabbath. Various changes en– sued infident upon the growth of the. district. However, Bluevale which - had separated from Eadie's united with it again, during the ministry of the Rev. James Pritchard. In 1879, Mr. Pritchard was succeeded by the Rev. D. G. McKay, of Zorra, who re- mained in charge for two years. Other ministers who had charge of the congregation were: 1882-1897, Rev. A, Y. Hartley; 1897-1913, Rev. W. J. West. This was his first charge and for fifteen years he laboured faithfully and efficiently. 1913, the Rev. Crawford Tate is the present pastor of the church whose earnest and unselfish ministration has wort for him the confidence and good will of his congregation. During alt these fifty-seven years Eadie's church has meant much to the community and has had a large share in shaping - the life and character of the people. Multitudes of young men and women have gone out into the world better prepared for its battles because here they have been made to realize the presence and the protecting care of' God. The original list of Sabbath school scholars of nearly sixty years ago has been handed by Mr. Eadie, son of the founder, for publication.. The names have been written in lead - pencil on light blue paper now faded and broken at the creases and are so light in some instances as to be al- most. illegible.- The scholars are di- vided into groups or classes as fol- lows: Class 1—Caroline Taylor, Margaret Bullard, Sarah Elliott, El- len Anderson, Elizabeth Campbell, Jane Bullard, Margaret Elliott, Mary Martin, Jane Johnston, Margaret Fleming.
