In the •75 years of the congrega- tion's history it has had, but six treasurers, John Ketchen, Joseph McCully, James McDairmid, Mrs. D. A. Aikenhead, Fred Burdge and Wes. Stackhouse. Shortly after the congregation came into being a Sunday School was organized. The first superin- tendent was John Lent ,who was succeeded by William Fothering- ham, George Hart. B. R. Higgins, C. H. Haugh, Hugh Aikenhead, Fred Boyce, Robert Watson and Norman Walker, A branch Sunday School was conducted for some time in the Township of Stanley, by P. Cameron and D. Grassick. Some years ago this school merg- ed with the main school which meets in the church. After some years two organiza- tions for study and service among the women of the church, the Wo- men's Foreign Missionary Auxil- iary and the Women's Home Mis- sionary Society were united in the present Women's Missionary So- ciety, Along with the W.M.S. mention should be made of the Kelly Cir- cle, organized in 1913. This, circle was composed of the younger *o- men of the church who were inter- ested..iu Home, Missions. In 1927, the Reify Circle and the W.M.S. were amalgamated and thave car- ried on a.s one society. As a department of the W.M.S. the Little Disciples' Mission Band was started in 1887, under the lead- ership of Mrs. Neil McGregor. The Baby Band, associated with the W,M.S., was formed in 1935 and is now under the leadership of Mrs. Walter Moffat. On May 24, 1929, there was brought into being the Women's Association. Mrs. Alexander Broad - foot was its first president; Mrs. T. B. Baird, secretary, and Helen Tough, treasurer. For many years there was in the :;hurch a Chr`stian Endeavour So- ciety, later known as the Young People's Union. At the present time there are not sufficient num- bers of young peopleeto carry on. Senior young people find scope in the Adult Fellowship Group and those who are younger •are trained in the work of the Canadian Girls in Training and the Boy Scout Movement. The service of praise has ibeen under the leadership of a volun- teer choir. Choirs, as a rule, keep scanty records of their work. The present choir leader is Mrs. J. R. Murdock. One of the greatest events in the history of the congregation was the erection of the present church building. This undertaking was accomplished in 1908 during the pastorate of Mr. Sawers. In a very fewy-ears it was entirely free of debt. This church building is even today regarded as one of the best. rural churches in the London Conference. The bulding committee who had charse of the work were Alexan- der McBea.th, chairman: D. A. Aik Qnhead, secretary; William Scott, treasurer, with James Gemmell, \Vi-liam EIcoat. Robert McKay, Dougald Fotheringham and James McDiarmid.

HURON POSITOR "What Our Hospital Means To Our Community" (Following is the text of the es- say by Douglas Stewart, which won first prize in a contest sponsored by the Seaforth Lions Club). Each city and' town in our coon- try is served with many facilities, such as sewage, modern :plumbing and hydro, but, in my opinion, none of these is as important and as beneficial as a hospital. In.enumerating the various bene- fits of a hospital to any commun- ity, one must turn back the pages of history to the days of and pre- vious to Florence Nightingale. At that time sickness was treated by laid by the late John Ketchen. Eleven years later, in 1919i• the building of the new church shed became the rallying point for the energies of the congregation. This, it is believed, was the largest church shed' in Canada It provid- ed complete shelter for horses and, later, gave ample parking space for cars. This building is still in godd repair, butis seldom usedfor the Purpose for which it was built, It serves now as a place of recrea- tion for the youth and provides accommodation for annual fowl suppers. Later, improvements in the church have been the installing of a Hammond organ in 1947 and of the oil burning heating system in 1950. 'Ilhe church property has been and is still held by a Board of Trustees elected by the congrega- tion. Present members of this board are J. A. McEwen, Ross Scoft and Alton Johnston. In 1916, when services were dis- continued in the Methodist Church in the village, many of the mem- bers poined the Union congrega- tion. Then, on June 10, 1925, • doctors with questionable skill, and by nurses who were women merely looking for employment. The hos- pitals, while few in number, were littered with filth and dirt, and dis ease was often spread rather than cured. Now, one can see a great advancement in hospitals over the past number of years, Today there is, in most cases, a hospital located in every commun- ity with a dependable staff and an organized system for caring for the sick and injured. Did you ev- er stop and think of the many ac- cidents which could occur in a com- munity the size of ours? I am sure when the Methodist, Congregation- al and Presbyterian Churches join- ed to form the United Church of Canada, though not all members were in favor of union, the major- ity believed this to be the proper step, and since that date the church has been a part of the United Church of Canada. Honor came to the congregation and to its minister when in 1936 the Rev. W. A. Bremner was ap- pointed president of the London Conference and also a delegate to the General Council of the. United, Church. NOTICEI Salvage WANTED LOUIS HILDEBRAND WE WILL PICK UP ren and All Kinds of Metal, Rag.

In many .Gaaga your hospital way mean the differ- ence between life and death to those who have been involved in serious accidents. Everyone may not agree with me on my next point, but I think a hos- pital is a great "drawing card." People who are moving from one community to another usually in- quire nquire if a hospital is in the vicin- ity. icinity. If the answer is "yes," the majority will move to those com- munities. The human race in many ways is hard to understand. Each day we go about/ our work, taking every- thing for granted, and not stopping to think of the value of things, in- cluding a hospital. A number of years ago a very thoughtful man said, "We need a hospital in this community-" There was value in that suggestion, andwith a little interest added, the result was a flue hospital. In many areas similar to ours, serious epidemics have been known to break out. Without a hospital, medical assistance just wouldn't exist, which would result in many deaths. Had a hospital been locat- ed in the comhrunity concerned, that epidemic would have been (incites and controlled right from the very beginning.

They acre the people who make these buildings one of the beauty spots in. any city or town. Furthermore, these insti- tutions are a great boon to the lo- cal merchants. From them the hos- pitals are able to purchase their groceries, bedding and ocher need- ed supplies. From time to time we hear of "Hospital Aids," who are a group of women working to assist the hospitals. Their work creates a community spirit, friendship and co-operation. In order that one may obtain full benefit from a hospital, it must be, as 1 said previously, properly equip- ped and properly managed. Such modern equipment as shadow -proof lighting, X-ray machines, the latest in anesthetics, sound -proof walls, proper cooking facilities and oth- ers, must be present in each hospi- tal, and I am, therefore, happy to FOR THE' GO-AHEAD FARMER— THERE'S MONEY A "MY BANK" There are times when the farmer finds that the efficient running of his farm calls for more ready cash than he can immediately lay hands on. He may want the money for the purchase of seed, or feed and fertilizer. He may need some new machinery, for which he will get better terms its he pays cash. He may wish to make improvements to the farmhouse and farm -buildings.. If you have a financing problem of this sort, pay a call on Mr. W. W. Jarrett, manager of the Bank of Montreal at Hensall.
