The following article,,' taken . from. the Institute collection„ is the eleventh 1n -a 'series which will appear in The Huron - Expositor). . HISTORY OF .ST. THOMAS' CHURCH, SEAFORTH (Continued from last week) The records show that all subsorip-, tions were paid, in British Currency— pounds, shillings and, pence. At that time money was collected, lumber and brick -and other materials were 'bought, but before delivery had been made the scheme fell through, and the money was. returned to the contributors. The writer would like to state here there is nothing stated in the records what happened to bring about such results;` as everything look- ed very promising up until now. How- ever, permit me to -take into consid- eration., the onsideration,,.the prevailing history of tt.,e two places at this time—Harpurhey and Seaforth. The Grand Truh'k-Railway, now the Canadian National Railway, was built from Stratford to.. Goderich in the, early 'fifties, and there was very forc- ible rivalry between these two places, which should be honored by having the, -railway station. For some time it appeared that Harpurhey was in line for the honor and exiiected to outdo Seaforth as the town proper, 'but fate worked against them. and Seaforth won out. This, the writer feels, may lave been the reason for the decision to stop proceedings' towards building the church in Harpurhey at that tittle. In 1859 Seaforth continued to show more and more as a place of import- ance and the church people were again i'ooking forward when they might have a church of their own, where they- might- go to worship' the God of their fathers in their own way. There were many obstacles to overcome and money was scarce,' and a great many difficulties cropped up. However, through the influence of the Rev. William Cresswell and the Rev. James Carmichael, who was at that time the minister at. Clinton, and who later be- came Bishop of Montreal, and the Rev. J. C. Des Barres came to their 'rescue, one of these clergymen com- ing every Sunday afternoon. and.. hold- ing' a service at the previous' --named places—the Royal Hotel. and the Queen's Hotel., This Work was con-` tinned by them for about three years, when they were relieved- by the Rev. John Ridley, who was the minister at Mitchell. :He continued the work by giving fortnightly services, using the Carmichael Hotel in the :-winter and Mr. ,Thomas Adams' barn in the sum- mer. This building was situated on Goderich St.' West. The Venerable Archdeacon Ellwood, of Goderich, al- so helped occasionally. 1862: I•t was about this time the question of building a church was taken up in a very determined man- ner, and it was again decided to call a meeting of the promihent men who were `'interested in promoting this work. Among those -,-who attended this meeting • might be mentioned here: Thomas Adams, Joseph Fowl- er, James Brown, John Oldfield, Wm. Oldfield, Leonard Sholdi`ce, George Jackson, George Sewell, E. Cresswell, A. Strong; Ed. Hicksoh, Aug. V'anEg- •mond, Dr. Smith, Ralph Thompson,' Dr. Tracy, Captain Ord, Jas. H. Ben- son, W. J; Cleary, J. R. Bull, Francis Case, George- Case, Andrew Archibald` These men -met with a very.determ- ined purpose in mind, and were unani- mous that a • church should be 'built, to consist for the present time in the completion of 'the nave which is the central part of the building,which was done. The °site on which the church was' built was donated by Mr. Edgar Jarvis. , 1863 was evidently the year in which the church was built. 1864: The Rev. C. C. Johnston was appointed as a permanent minister and continued as, such until the end, of the year 1870. 1871: The Rev. Reginald Star .fol- lowed him" at this date and remained until„ 1874. In 1872, during his minis- try, the chancel was -built. 1874: -He was succeeded by Rev. W. L. Mills as Rector, who rater appointed Bishop of Ontario. stay was quite short. 1875: The Rev, Wm. Craig took charge and remained until the year 1877: The Rev. W. Ft • Campbell was_,- appointed Rector. During lila ministry the wings were added; to' the church to increase The seating caper,- ity, so as to take care of the increas- ing number''of -the congregation. The ceiling was also raised at •this -.time, which added greatly to 'the general appearance of the church. 187'9:. The Rev. J. F. !Pinard was. appointed Rector, -.his stay being rather short.. • 1880: The Rev. Jeffrey Hill ' took charge and remained until the year 1883. 1883: Th 'Red: J.'Edmondd became the Rector and while he was the min- ister of this parish, in the year 1885 the Parish 'Hall was purchased' and later moved to the present site. It was originally a',Methodist Episcopal Church. 1888: The Rev. T. W. Magahy took his place. His term ss the encum- -bent was short, as in 1889 the -Rev, J. W. Hodgins became Rector and he retfiained in ?harge until March 26, 1'9.05, his term as Rector being the longest up to the present time. Dur- ing his encu.m'bency the present pipe organ was installed' in the church in 1895, the cost to the congregation be, ing $1,190.00. The Sunday School building was completed.

There was 'also built at this time a passageway connecting the parish 'hall and church; this work was done in 1913..In 191'4 there was a new car- pet placed, in the' Chancel. This work was done by the Chancel' Guild and the same organization assumed all the expense connected *with this work, Also at this tifn'e -Mr. H.R.

In 1917 Miss Emily Cresswelf pres- ented to the church a plot of land west of the Sunday School, to be us- ed for recreational purposes and part for a Rector's garden! In 1921' there was an eight-day mission.,he1ld, 'the service being conducted by the Rev. W. H. Roberts, which commenced on Sunday, 'arch 13, concluding' March 20.
