Recall Early History of
Stanley Methodist Circuit
Goshen Congregation Has
Long and Interesting
History.
In the pioneer days of this Coun-
ty. between the years 1840 and
1850, Stanley Township, then al-
most an unbroken forest, was be-
ing quickly settled, by a hardy,
God-fearing race of pioneers, most-
ly from the British Isles. Some
had spent a few years in Eastern.
Ontario townships and in Quebec,
and then came' further. west, to-
wards the shore of Lake Huron.
These early settlers came with
very little of this world's goods,
but they bad •something vastly
more important — an unbounded,
courage and a faith that enabled
them to endure the privations and
handicaps of a new country, and
to lay well the foundations for a
'sound economic, ediucational and re-
ligious life in this land of their
adoption, which they soon learn-
ed to love in spite of the hard-
ships.
Gradually the virgin forest gave
way to fertile fields of grain and
comfortable farm homes were
built up. The countryside was
dotted with schoolhouses and the
frame of an economic system was
brought into being. 'But amid all
these developments, these faithful
God-fearing pioneers ,did not for-
get "to build aii altar unto the

branches of Methodisin in Canada,
and somewhat later, services were
held in the old log schoolhouse on
the Goshen Line, by the Wesleyan
Methodists until such time as their
church was built on Lot 14,
The Methodist Episcopal body:
also had quite a strong
cause in Stanley Township. A cir-
cuit had been formed, called the
Stanley Circuit, consisting of sev-
en chapels, as they were named.
It consisted of Troyer's Chapel
(Hillsgreen), Key's 'Chapel (Baby
-
Ion), Dowson's Chapel (Goshen),
•
Hayfield Chapel, Saubie Line Ohan-
el (Drysdale), • and St. Joseph's
Chapel (Lakeview). The Goshen
Chapel, first a log building, was
built on Tot 10 (Mr. Dowson's
farm), where the parsonage was
also located, the home of all the
early M.E. ministers. Stanley cir-
cuit was served by one minister,
assisted by local preachers for a
time, and later by two ministers,
a superintendent and a colleague,
the latter usually a single man and
a candidate for the regular min-
istry. The circuits were presided
over by a Bishop and a Presiding
Elder, the latter visiting the cir-
cuit every three months and con-
ducting the quarterly conference,
or business meeting.'
The old Goshen Church was built
by the M.E. congregation in 1869.
The contractor was Henry Smith,
The following items taken from
the minutes of a meeting of the
Official Board at Key's Chapel,
Babylon Line, January 9, 1869,
Rev. B. Moore, chairman, reads:
"Moved by Wm. Keys, seconded by
James Keys, that Thos. Stogdill,
John Troyer, Henry Dowson, John
Peck and Frederick Forsyth be
the building committee to build. a
chapel on the Parsonage lot, on
the Goshen Line. Carried."
Feb. 14: Number of members on

to the Ministers: prior to 1871 the
salary was $300,a year -1871, Rev.

colleague, Bro. A. Francis receiv-

The figures quoted above reveal
two important items in the policy
of the church of that day.
