History of Hensall
United Church
(By Mrs. Maude Hedden)
The United Church of Canada
came into existence on June 10,
1925. As is well known, the United
Church consists of the Congrega-
tional, Methodist and a part of 'the
Presbyterian Churches. In giving
a brief sketch of the history of the
United Church of Canada in Hen -
sail, one must give the history of
the former Methodist 'Church in
Honsall and the former Carmel
Presbyterian Church,
From records available it appcars
that the first Methodist minister to
receive appointment to Hensall was
the Rev. J. Ball. He came in the
year 1884. It was in the year 1883,
at Belleville, Ont., that Union was
effected between tile Methodist
Church of Canada, the Methodist
Episcopal Church, the Bible Chris-
tian Church and the Primitive
Methodist Church. It was at the
Conference of this new United
Methodist Church that Rev. Bell
received his appointment and set-
tled in Hensall in June, 1884. In
1886 the Rev. R. Godfrey received
the appointment. In 1888 the Rev.
J. S. 'Cook was the minister, and in
1890 the Rev. H. N. Casson was
appointedas associate minister.
At that time there were five
churches on the circuit, namely:
Hensall, Bet.hsada, Fawnsvi:le,
Lakeview and Sexsmith. In 1891
the Rev. H. J. Fair and fthe Rev.
H. T. Magee were associate mini-
sters. In 1893 the circuit consisted
of Hensall, 'Bethsada, Sexsmith,
Fawnsville and Zurich, and the min-
isters were the Rev. F. Swann and
the Rev. Treleaven. In that year
3. 0. ,Stoneman was elected dele-
gate to the district meeting, which
eortes:ponds to the Presbytery at
the present time, and also the dele-
gate to the Conference. Other mem-
ber' of the Official !Board of the
etircutt Were: J Blatchford, J.

congregations• ;
In 1849 the Rev. John z•ogle... Pnr-
chad . o}►d settled•on .the farm
sou* of Remelt now' occupied 'by
f4 - and Airs. `William Hyde. He
built the 'house or man* as it was
soon called, wield* still stands
there, and services were held in it
until the church was built two
years later, in the year 1851 -
,For this purpoge, a strip of land
running acro the fon of what
n g sa, front
we now call Dr. Moir's Hospital,
was acquiredi from Mr. James Mur-
ray, the father of Miss Jean Mur-
ray. The church was built on the
south side of the bridge, a little
south of where the model of the
old-time well now stands. The front
field on the north side of the river,
accommodated the democrats and
wagons in the summer, and the
sleighs in the winter. A long shed
for the horses stood near the north
fence othat now separates the pro-
perties of Messrs. Faber and Hyde.
The church was a large room
heated by a huge box stove near
the entrance. The minister and his
wife were the caretakers. The
families in those days were large,
and usually the whole family at-`
tended church. As there was only
one room, when the babies cried
they had to be taken outside. So a
small building was erected where
the babies could be taken to be
pacified. In the winter time this
building was not heated, so the
children were taken to the Murray
home, where Harry Faber now
lives, or the children were taken
across the road to Dodd's home.
Service was held in the morning
at 11 o'clock and Sunday School at
four in the afternoon. Rev. Logic
remained in charge until 1875, or
twenty-six years. From 1876 until
1883, Rev. A. G. Hartley was the
minister, and was ,followed in 1883
by the, Rev. R. Y. Thomson, M.A.,
B.D.
In 1886 the church would not hold
all the people. It was decided that

Picnic, Jul' .
institute Plan
The Kippen East Institute met at
the home of Miss Margaret McKay
on Wednesday, June 18, with 35
present. Mrs. E. Whitehouse pre-
sided. The meeting opened with the
Ode 4nd the Mary Stewart Collect.
Roll call was answered by an in-
teresting event in the 30's. Minutes
of last meeting were read and
adopted and treasurer's report was
given. A thank -you card -was read
from Mrs. W. Bell,, and verbal
thanks from Mrs. Charles Eyre and
Mrs. Campbell Eyre for treats.
The bus trip was planned for
a new church must be built, and a
manse and its location was. to be
in Hensall. Robert Paterson was
given the contract for the carpen-
try work, and the men of the con-
gregation assisted in every way
possible. The sheds were -built by
means of building bees. One shed
along the north end of the property
was built in the year 1886, and an-
other, at the east side, about twen•
ty years later. The church 'was
completed by February, 1887, and
Elizabeth Carlisle, now Mrs. An-
drew Buchanan, and Isabella Moir,
who later became Mrs. William Mul-
holland, volunteered to clean it. So,
one morning in the last week of
February, 1887, they took their
brooms, pails, cloths and scrubbing
brushes, walked two miles into
Hensall, and commenced work.
Mrs. Robert Bonthron said: "If you
are going to scrub the church,
then you are going to have a hot
dinner with me." So Elizabeth
Carlisle went to Mrs. Bonlhron's
while Isabella Moir had dinner with
her uncle, Mr. William Moir. It
took several days to complete the
cleaning of the church, but it was
all ready for the opening March 9.
the second Sunday in the month.
Later, in 1887, Rev. Thomson re -1
tired and in 1888 Rev. J. S. Hender-
son was inducted as pastor of Car-
mel Church, where he served until
1903. Rev. E. F. McL. Smith then
took over the ministry until 1917..'
It was during his pastorate the lupe
organ was installed and the church
decorated.
Rev. J. E. McConnell followed
Rev. Smith and held the charge
until 1925• when Carmel Presbvter-
ian.Church voted itself into the i)n•
ion, and on July 27 of that year ex-
tended an invitation to the Rev.
Arthur Sinclair to be pastor. Rev.
Mr. Sinclair served the congrega-
tion until 1938, when he was fol-
lowed by the Rev. R. A. Brook, Allo
was minister until 1950. Rev. W.
3. Rogers is the present minister.
During the early history of the
church the music was in charge of
a' precentor. Mr. MacLaren, great-
grandfather of Mr. Robert MacLar-
en, was one of the first. Later on
a Mr. Crawford led the singing. At
the time of Union, W. O. Goodwin
was choir leader, and Miss Eleanor
Fisher, the organist. At the pre-
sent time S. G. Rannie is choir
director, and Miss G. Lammie, the
organist.
