Monday forenoon, when a simple 'hut
very impressive service was held in
the Square at the cenotaph. Two
beautiful wreaths were placed at the
base of the cenotaph, the Province of

United Church Service
At the morning service of St. An-
drew's United Church, Mr. William J.
Fuller, President of the Young Peo-
ple's Union of London Conference,
gave a most impressive and informa-
tive address on the subject, "The
Current ;Challenge to Ch'r•istien
Youth." He dealt with the attitude
of youth to economics, the racial, the
drink problem and war. He inform-
ed us that the youth of North Amer-
ica were banding together to study
these problems and seek to face them
in the spirit of Jesus. In the even-
ing Rev. Dr. Grierson, of Korea,
made a most impressive appeal for
the mission work of the church. He
has spent 37 years in that strange
and wonderful land. His presence
and appeal were specially interesting
as he was associated in the work
there with Dr. J. S. Gale, brother of
the minister of this congregation.
Those who had the privilege of hear-
ing him could' not but have their in-
terest and zeal quickened for the
missionary work of our church. The
whole day was one of deep inte'r'est
and was indeed fitting for Armistice
Sunday in that the purpose and aim
of thedifferent addresses were truly
for the peace of the world. Very
appropriate music was rendered by
the choir.
'Presentation By Choir
A very enjoyable evening was
spent by members of the choir of St.
Andrew's United Church last Friday
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald
McKenzie, Bluewater Highway, God-
erich Township, who were recently
married. After a social time with
games and contests, Mr, A. E. Er-
win read' an address to the young
couple and Miss Gladys Gale pre-
sented a lovely cream and sugar set
on a silver tray. Refreshments were
then served' by the choir.
WINTHROP
Mrs. Adam Dodds of Listowel spent
the week -end with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Campbell, Sr.
Mr. Harry Eddicott had his resi-
dence moved into the village on Sat-
urday.
Societies Meet
The November meeting of the Lad-
ies' Aid and Women's 1VLissionary So-
ciety was held at the home of Mrs.
John Boyd on Wednesday, November
6, with Mrs. H. Alexander ./Iresidfng.
After singing "0 Happy is. the Man
Who Hears Instruction's Warning
Voice," Edith Hiller' led in prayer.
The roll call on Peace showed a good
attendance. During the business per-
iod •it was decided to invite Miss
Wellwood and Mrs. 'Greer for the
thankoffering meeting on Sunday
m'ornink, December 1st. ,Mrs. R. Mc-
Farlane then took charge of .the de-
votional exercises. Miss J. McNeal
read the Scripture lesson, Acts, 2nd
chapter. Devotional leaflet by Mrs.
R. McFarlane. The hymen, "Holy
Spirit, Truth Divine," was sung as a
prayer. Mrs. A. Patrick introduced
the new study book, "Africa," 'which
proved to be very interesting, Mrs.
A. Rose read a papee on "Hymn's We
Love" and sentence prayers were giv-
en by Mrs. R. Patrick and Mrs. Lorne
Elliott. After singing a hymn, Mrs.
H. Alexander ,pronounced the bene-
diction.
The original:Presbyterian church in
Auburn or, 4VI'anchester•, as it was
then called,`was erected on the pres-
ent site of the United Church in "860.
'Previous to that time services were
field in the old log school house where
Maitland Allen's house now stands.
This was away back in the times
when the pioneer settlers, walked to
within a short distance of the place
of worship in their bare feet, when
they stopper. and put their shoes and
stocki'n'gs on and. then came the rest
of the way. The same performance
was gone through as they went home.
• Presbyterian missionaries' came and
preached to those settlers, among
whom were John McKay and Archi-
bald Stewart. There is perhaps no
one now living who was here when
Communion was held. in the black-
smith shop of Robert Downs, where
Mrs, Jates Match's house now stands.
Fourteen names censtituted the
first communion roll, viz: Joseph
Dolbie, John Jackslon, John Brown,
John Scott, •Oharles Roger, Mrs.
Charles Rodger, Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Patterson, John 'McCulloch, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles McDonald, Alexander
Scr•imegeour, Mr. and Mrs. William
McKinnon.
On May 4, 1359, the London Con-
ference lsanetiioned the ij:raming of
the first session, which was made up
of the following members. Four
Men were chosen but only two show-
ed their willingriees to act. These,
Joseph Dobie and John Jackson,, were
ordained June 8, 1860. Chas. Rodger
was added to these in 1861.
Rev. Archibald Currie, was chosen
as the first regular minister in 1862
and it was during his pastorate that
the first church building was erect-
ed. The land for the ,church w a s
donated by .John McDonald. The
building committee was composed of
Joseph Dobie, John Jackson, John
McDonald and James Scott: The con-
tract was let to Mr. Holmes, of God-
erich, for $250.00; the brick was to
cost $6 per, thousand and the men of
the church were to do the teaming.
Split shingles were $2 per thousand
and the pine for building $10.00 a
thousand. Hard and faithfully these
pioneer's worked to complete their
church,
•On the opening day Rev. Robert
Ure, of Goderich, afterwards Dr.
Ure, dedicated the 'building to the
service of God and, he and his choir
were brought out from Goderich in
a lumber wagon. At that time, the
church was just partially finished, and
burrowing was out of the question as
the rate of interest went as high as
17 per cent. Round 'blocks on which
were planks formed the seats but as
they could they made the House of
God as comfortable as they possibly
could.
It was not always easy to get
money, but they would donate flour,
feed and meat. These things would
be sold and the funds turned into
the treasury. In 1866 Rev. Stephen
Young was ordained and inducted as
minister of Burns' Chuech, H,ullett
and Manchester. The salary of Mr.
Young was $500 a year, but this was
supplemented with gifts of hay, oats,
and other household needs.
Its 1870 Messrs. Francis Stalker,
iohn Kernighan, Jane's Laidlaw and
Janes Ratcliffe were ordained to the
Elrler.,hip and on October 15, 1876,
Mr. T'h'omas Anderson was added. In
the minute books of that time we
read many instances of where church
members were brought before the
Session for various mis'domeaners.
Punishment along the Incriof being
admonished and even suspension was
meted. out to these. In 1877 Man-
chester and Smith's Hill were form-
ed into one charge and this remained
until the time of Church Union,
,Rev. 'Young remained in change
until 1877. He was succeeded by
Rev. James Pritchard who married
many of whom are still living. In
1877 Rev. Dr. Alex. McMillan of
"Book of Praise" fame, took charge.
This was Dr. McMillan's first charge.
He was married here and his son,
Sir Er nest McMillan has made a name
for himself in musical history. It
was during his pastorate that hymn
books were introduced into the
church. Previous to that there had
just been psalns and paraphrases.
The question of the hymn books had'
been discussed some twenty years be-
fore but it was agreed that it was
inexpedient to introduce it as it was
likely to lead to discord and division
in the congregation.
.In 1892 rR'ev. Robert •Henderson was
inducted. Owing to ill -health he was
forced to retire and passed to higher
service in 1901. In 1892 it was de-
cided to have an organ in the church.
Miss Jean xtcliffe was the first or-
ganist and Mr. Janes Match was
the first choir leader. Since then
Miss Bella Scott (now M.rs. Menn'o
Baer), Mrs, R. Henderson, Mis's Ruby
Was it a Miracle
The furore that the Hauptman trial
created was merely a ripple compar-
ed with the amazement caused
throughout the entire world when it
was learned that John Lee, conrvict-
ed slayer of his aged benefactress,
had been three times placed upon the
scaffold and that each time the trap
had refused; to work. The entire
story of Lee's life, .into which is wov-
en a tale of undying love and a wo-
man's noble sacrifice is utilized in the
100'percent. talking feature, "The
Man They Could Not Hang," coming
to the Regent Theatre for two days,
commencing W'ed'nesday next, with a
matinee at 3 .pm.
A special feature of this show is
tithe atmospheric prologue intrtoduc-
m'g„in' person the well known stage
star and screen favorite, W. Leonard
!Hlowe. A friend of Lee's he recent-
ly visited with him the scene of the
crime and during his appearance d'is'-
plays shots of the actual places and
sfurvivors of the tragedy. This show
has played the world over at advanc-
ed prices, but, by special arrange-
ment, wild be presented gene at our
usual adaniseiion.
Young (now Mrs. ; John Houston),
'Miss Jennie ,Stalker Mrs, William
Craig), and Miss Sadie Carter have
been organists, and David Ramsay,
Miss Ella May Patterson and W'm.
Anderson have been choir leaders.
Before the oegan came the old tun-
ing fork was used to strike the note
by the precen'ber. There was a pre-
centor's desk in front of the pulpit.
Mr. John Kereighan held this peg-
tion for many years. Alex. Mc-
Kenzie, Mr. McLean and A. L. Budge
(now Moderator of the Synod of
Hamilton and London), held this. of-
fice. The congregation used to stand
during prayer and sit' during sing-
ing but about the the time that the
organ came this order was reversed,
although a number carried on this
practise as long as they were able to
attend church.
In 1901 Le•eburn was added to the
charge but this did not last long and
Presbytery changed it back to Au-
burn and Smith's Hill.
There was a long vacancy after
the re'signati'on of Dlr. :Henderson,
and on June 3, 1902, Rev. J. L. Small
was inducted. The following year
the congregation decided to make
plans to build a new Church in 1904.
On the first Sabbath in March Rev.
Stephen Young, one of the earliest
of the ministers, carne ,back and
preached the closing sermon it the
old church. The choir, under the
leadership of Miss Ella May Patter-
son,. sang several selections before
the opening of the evening service.
The 'building committee was as fol-
lows: Messrs. Thos. Straughan,
chairman; W. T. Riddell, Secretary ;
Wm. King, treasurer; Robt. Straugh-
an, John Fingland, Geo. Yungblutt
and James Young.
The corner. stone was laid .on May
30, 1904, by Judge Harding, of Lind-
say, under Masonic orders. The ded-
ication services were held; January
15, 105, when' Rev. Colin Fletcher,
afterwards Moderator of General As-
sembly, preached in the morning ;
Rev. Dr. Stewart, B.A., in the after-
noon, and Rev. J. A. Anderson, B.A.,
in the evening.
While the building was being bait
the services were held in t'he Meth-
odist Church. In 1903 a Ladies' Aid
Society was formed in the church.
The bell which now calls the wor-
shippers to service was purchased
with $100 donated by Adam Akam.
It was originally supported on posts
and later a (belfry was erected on
the old church. The porch was later
moved to the home of the late John
Wilson.
Following Rev. J, L. Small came
Rev. J. R. Mann, B.A., and he re-
mained till 1912. The golden jubi-
lee of the church was celebrated in
1910 with .Stephen Young conducting
an old-time service,
Rev. Andrew Laing was ordained
and inducted in 1912 and remained
as pastor until 1917. He was follow-
ed by Rev. R. J. Ross. During this
time the Diamond Jubilee was held
in 1920.
During all these years the Sabbath
School has been running, Mr. John
Jackson being the first superintend-
ent. Then his son-in-law, Mr. John
Wilson came into this office; then
John 1'inglancl, of Londesboro, and
then Mr. Jackson's grandson, Mr,
John J. Wilson, who is still super-
intendent of the Sunday School.
Rev. W. R. Alp, B.A., followed and
he was the pastor during the time of
church union, corning here in 1922
and going to Ottawa in 1929. When
the vote was taken it was in favor
of the Unionists by a very small ma-
jority. The continuing Presbyterians
withdrew, worshipping for some time
in the Baptist Church until their new
church was built on the site of the
former Methodist Church, which they
purchased for the sum of around
3400. They had to continue with
church services for seven years to
hold church property, and that time
has expired this year.
Rev. R. B. Gracie, of Toronto ,was
their first pastor and Rev. T. W.
Goodwill followed. During Rev.
Goodwill's pa. torate the new church
was 'built and Knox Presbyterian
Church was opened and dedicated on
Sunday. November 18, 1928. Rev.
R. C. McPermid, of Goderich, preach-
ed th•e best' Sunday; Rev. Mr. Mc-
Elroy, of Hensel:, the second Sunday,
and Rev. 'R. B. Gracie, the third. The
Session, cemposed of Messrs. John
Houston, W. F. Riddell, J. C. Stoltz,
Wm. Thom. and .John J. Wilson; ;yiT.
Wilson being the only girder who re=
r'a'ined Presbyterian. After Union
the other being elected and ordained
since. The late Mr. Jahn Wilson was
also ordained since Union.- '
Whery F. W. 'Goodwill left for
Hillsiburg, a student supplied. Mr.
Pritchard then followed and now
Rev. T. W. Mills has charge, assist-
ed by Rev. T. Wardlaw Taylor and
Dr. Barnett, of Goderich.
On Novenibcr 10, 1935, Knox Pres-
byterian Church celebrated their 75th
anniversary with an old-time service
in the morning. Mr. .John Wilson
pe'r•fo•rmr'ed the duties of a beadle and
Mr. Donald McLean, of Ashfield
Ph-dsibyttrian. Church, ale' presenter,
Rev. A. L. Budge, of Hagersville,
Moderator of the Synod of 'Hamilton
and Landon, delivered two inspiring
sermons, taking for his text, Psalm
65:8: "Thou rnakest the outgoings of
the morning and eventing bo rejoice,”
in the morning; at the evening ser-
vices the text was; "For I am not
ashamed efl the Gospel of Christ for
it is the power of God unto salva-
ti'o'n bo ev'eryon'e that believeth,"
Roan. 1:16. The choir assisted with
the service of song by supplying an.
anthem, quartette and a solo by Misys
Edith Stoltz.
On M'ond'ay evening a fowl supper
tvatis• served bo about. 800 guests. It
was followed 'by the play, "FLere
Comes Charlie," put on by Porter's
Hill Y. P. S.
