A few seats firma this elaurch are still used, in the basement of the church. The first tnanse was erected .s.ao.rtly after Wal- ton ;severed connections with the Brussels congregation and is now owned by Mr. Forrest.' The present manse was built darting the pastorate of Mr. Chandler' and is recognized as one of the finest minister's residence for a rural church. 1n the church un- ioe of 1925 -the Methodist cangrega-, taion prated with Duff's -Chutch to form e larger fellowship.
