Presbyterian Church Re'Opening
The occasion of the re -opening of
the Presbyterian church was consider-
ed by the Advance a fitting tune to
refer• to the early history of the
Church. The following information is
all that * could secure at present
In early clays Presbyterian Church,
services were conducted in Wingham
by students and licentiates of the
Church. In 1883 a petition was pre-
sented to the then Presbytery of Hur-
on, asking that the Sacraments be•
dispensed to the congregations of
Wingham and Bluevale, The Rev's
Win. Graham of Egrnondville and
John Stewart of Blyth were appointed
to carry out the wish of the petition.
ars. For several summers during col.
lege recess the Rev, S. Hastie, now of
Bowden, Alberta, laboured as student
missionary in the field. After gradu-
ation, Mr. Hastie received the call to
the pastorate of Wingham, Bluevale
and Undies, the three stations then
constituting one pastoral charge. The
ordination and induction took place
at Bluevale on the 23rd of October,
1888. The members of Presbytery
present on that occasion were the
Rev. Stephen Young, Manchester,
Moderator, and the Rev's Geo. Brown,.
Wroxeter, John Ferguson, Ainley-
ville, A. D. McDonald, Clinton, and
Richard Miller and John Linklater,
elders. After labouring for five years,
Mr. Hastie severed his connection
with the congregation, in 1871 remov-
ing to Prescott. The congregation of
Wingham had at this time increased
to a membership of 297. In 1872, the
Rev. James Pritchard was called and
inducted to the pastorate. In 1870, a
petition from the congregation .of
Wingham was presented to the Pres-
bytery of Huron praying that they be
separated from the congregation of
Bluevale and promising to pay $700
per annum for the support of a minis-
ter, The petition was granted and
the congregation 'of Wingham from
that date became an independent, self.
sustaining charge. Mr. Pritchard hav-
ing decided to remain with the Blue -
vale congregation, the pastorate of
Wingham was declared vacant. At a
congregational meeting held on the
10th of September, 1878, a unanimous
call ;was extended to the Rev. Hector
McQuarrie of Princeton in the Presby-
tery of Paris.
The first church was built near
where the Salt Block is now situated,
but this building was destroyed by
fire, and the choice of a more central
site was decided, on account of the
growth of Wingham, and the possible
decadence of the settlement at Lower
Town. A. very fine site was chosen,
extending from Josephine street to
Centre street. and on it, in 1881, dur-
ing the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Mc-
Quarrie, the present church edifice
was erected. At that time and for
many years, it was the best church
building in this part of the country.
In 1891, Rev. D. Perrie became pas-
tor, and for the past eleven years has
faithfully guarded its interests. He
is an able expounder of the Word, and
enjoys the esteem of his congregation
and respect of the entire community.
The last annual report shows a mem-
bership on roll of 435.
For the past year plans had been in
progress for the renovation of the
church, and placing.therein a pipe or-
gan, These plans were matured and
the world cantered upon with energy,
and for two months during the pro-
gress of the changes, the congregation
worshipped in the Town Hall. The
interior of the building has been most
beautifully decorate& The ceiling is
artistically panelled, and the tints
blend harmoniously. This and other
repairs cost in the neighborhood of
$900. The old windows have been re-
proved and replaced with others of
stained glass of very neat' pattern, at
a cost of nearly $450. The cost of this
part of the work was undertaken by
the Ladies' Aid, .and towards the pay-
ment, they devote $250 already on
hand and the proceeds of the teameet-
ing on Monday evening.
With commendable energy, the
young people of the church undertook
some time ago to form a fund for the
purchase of a pipe organ, and having
$1200 on hand :t, very fine instrument
has been installed, at a cost of $1550.
It presents a fine appearance, and is
the first organ in this section of coun-
try fitted with pneumatic action.
On Sunday last, the re -opening ser-
vices were held,. Rev. R. E. Knowles
of Galt preached two most excellent
sermons. In the morning, he chose
as his subject, the interesting incident
of the woman pardoned in the home
of the Pharisee, and her expression of
love and devotion to the Saviour. In
the evening, Lot's choice of the land
toward Sodom, furnished the theme.
Both sermons were earnest, practical
expositions of gospel truth, and were
listened to with interest and profit.
Mr. Knowles' appeal in the evening,
to young men, was forceful and
timely,
Towards the cost of the church
renovation, the congregations laid
upon the plates $028.90. -
On Monday evening, a teatneeting
was held, and although the weather
was unfavorable, there was a large
attendance. A bountiful supply of
edibles were supplied by the ladies,
and when these had received atten-
tion, the program began in the audi-
torium, Rev. D. Perrin presiding. Ad-
dresses were given by Rev's Lowe,
Gundy, Hastie and Dunn. Dr. Gundy
made a strong plea for the union of
the Churches, and Mr. Dunn urged as
strongly their greater usefulness as
they are now. Excellent music was
supplied by the choir; Mrs. (Rev.)
Hastie and Miss Sherk gave organ
voluntaries ; Frank Hill and Geo. W.
Cline sang duetts, and Mrs. R. Beattie
recited with her usual ability; in all, a
splendid program was rendered. The
proceeds of the evening were $130,
which will assist the Ladies' Aid in
meeting the cost of the new windows.

On Monday next, Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier will spend a few hours in Wing -
ham. He is expected to arrive on the
11 a. m. train and will then proceed
to the Town Hall and deliver an ad-
dress. The electors of Huron gave
Mr. Borden a most attentive hearing,
and there is no doubt that many will
listen with equal pleasure to the Pre-
mier. His stay in Wingham will
necessarily be short, as he is on his
way to speak at Lucknow, the sante
day.

A Communication.
DEAD EnnTon,—Twist Sunday I was
at the Presbyterian Church ;. what a
crowd had gathered, of all denomina-
tions and of all classes, and what har-
mony existed one with another! Now,
Sir, two thoughts were uppermost in
my mind during the whole time of
those beautiful exercises : Why could
we not all worship God as one grand
unit? There is but one God, but one
heaven, and if by -and -bye we are to
be united, why this diversion here?
And, again, the Grit and the Tory
were there, sitting side by side, listen-
ing to the words of wisdom. Why
not this harmony in Ottawa, instead
of strife? If it is for the weal of the
country they gather, why not abide
together in love and in unity? When
debating great questions of the day,
which, -when acted upon, are either to
be a blessing or a curse to our Do-
minion, why should this most depfea-
ble party feeling be so prominent
When the ballot is passed? Why ? I
know, Sir, that the blue blood of
Toryism flows in your veins, but yet. I
do not believe your conscieuee would
permit you to vote for that which you
thought was wrong, were you one of
our legislators; nor would you go back
on your temperance principles, even
to save your party from destruction. -=-
Truly yours, INrtrtORNtinNr.

THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE.
DR. T. CHISHOLM.
Dr. Thos. Chisholm, the Liberal.
Conservative candidate for the riding
of East Huron, was born in the county
of Halton, sixty-two years ago. When
a young man he prepared himself for
chool teaching, and for several years
proved himself a suce'essfnl teacher in
the Public Schools. He then accepted
a position as teacher in Fergus High
School, and later, turned his attention
to the study of medicine, graduating
in 1879. Re practised for several years
in Arthur, and in I888 removed to
Wingham, where he has built up a
large and successful practice. Prior
to removing to Wingham, he was for
some time Lecturer in the Western
University, London.
As a citizen, Dr. Chisholm has borne
his share in the upbuilding of our
town, and still holds valuable property
here. He has hosts of ,friends in
Wingham and surrounding townships,
and will make a strong candidate. Dr.
Chisholm did not seek the candidacy,
for considerable pressure had to be
brought to bear upon him to induce
him to enter the contest. His position
to -day is another instance of the
"position seeking the man," and not
the man seeking the position. Dr.
Chisholm is a worker, and wherever
he has gone throughout the riding,
his candidature has been strongly en-
dorsed, and very decided encourage-
ment extended to him.
Evidently the Government consid-
ered the riding, with a majority of
140, "none too sure," hence in the re-
distribution, East Wawanosh (with a
majority at last election of 73) was
added to make it "safe." It remains
to be seen whether East Wawanosh
voters approve of being driven from
West Huron to East Huron, simply to
suit the exigencies of the Government
candidate.
There is a dangerous conspiracy
formed. Premier Ross has promised
to "Deliver a majority from Ontario"
to Sir Wilfrid. It remains with the
electors to say whether they are to he
regarded as so many chattels, to be
"delivered" as the Ross machine may
dictate. A vote for Dr. Chisholm will
be a blow at the Ontario Government
(which is without doubt the most cor-
rupt administration, Ontario ever had)
and at the same time a vote for Mr.
Borden's progressive policy.
"Shall the people own the rail-
way, or the railway own the
people ?"
If we are to pay nine -tenths of the
G. T, P., better pay the other tenth
and own the whole road.
VOTE FOR DR. CHISHOLM.

Sack Kennedy, who Was so largely
concerned in the Minnie M. outrage
and had charge of the Yankee plug-
gers at the Soo election, writes to the
Seaforth Expositor denying that there
was a bogus bible. Ile claims he has
been unjustly treated by the Liberals
and winds up his Letter thus :--"Ilow-
ever, it is all over; and when they get
me mixed up in their dirty work it
will be a cold day."

Mr. R. L. Borden writes as follows
to Dr. T. Chisholm:•--"1tr my hurried
departure 1 omitted to take the beau-
tiful flowers, presented to me by the
equally beautiful little girls, who came

just before I spoke, 1 trust they will-
accept lny apology for this any seem-
ing neglect. If you will send me their

MRS. T. K. PowEI.L.
The residents of Wingham and vi-
ciulty were startled and sad on Mon-
day morning, when the news reached
them that Mrs. Thos. X, Powell had
passed away. Mrs. Powell had been
taken ill with fever two weeks before
her death, but it had proved to be a
light attack, and her friends were de-
lighted at the prospects of speedy re-
covery. So far had she come' on the
way to complete restoration, that one
nurse considered her services no long-
er necessary, and her physicians who
saw her on Sunday found her so well
that they did not deem it necessary to
visit her again for a few days, But
weakness of the heart prevailed and
before the close of the Sabbath day,
her spirit had fled. Her maiden name
was Mary Ann Musgrove ; she was
born in Hullett township in 1858, and
hence was in her 47th year. She came
'to Turnberry with her parents, and
resided with them until her marriage,
about seven years ago. Faithfully
filial and tenderly kind, she nursed
her aged parents until both of them
were at rest. She was converted in
her youth, and for many years was a
member of Bluevale Methodist Church.
Besides her sorrow -stricken husband,
she leaves one son, aged five years.
Her brothers are—A. H. Musgrove,
Wingham ; Robert, of Bluevale ; John
9f Turnberry, and Dr. Musgrove of
Niagara. Mrs. R. Pearson of Grey
and Mrs. Emmerson of Wisconsin are
sisters of deceased. The funeral took
place on Tuesday and was attended
by a large concourse of deeply sympa-
thetic friends.
MR. E. BOWLEs.
Word reached Wingham on Friday
last of the death of Mr. E. Bowles of
Orangeville, formerly of Wingham,
Mr. Bowles was a member of the firm
of Bowles & Hiscocks, who did busi-
ness in Wingham- many years ago.
He then removed to Orangeville, but
later returned to Wingham as a mem-
ber of the firm of Homuth & Bowles.
While a member of this firm, Mr.
Bowles' health failed so that some
five years ago, he was obliged to give
up business. Tuberculosis fastened
itself upon his system, and though
every available means was adopted,
the disease could not be eradicated.
On Sept. 20th, after rising from pray-
er, hemorrhage set in, still further re -
ducing his strength, and on Friday
last, his spirit took flight. Deceased
was in his 30th year, and was a son of
Sheriff Bowles of Orangeville. Thir-
teen years ago, he married the eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hem,
nth of town, and to them one bright
little girl was born. Mr, Bowles was
a genial, upright business man, and
made hosts of friends, who sympa-
thized with him in his tedious illness.
Mrs, Bowles and daughter are left sad
and sorrowing, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
Homuth and family attended the
funeral. Deceased was a member of
the Methodist Church.
Mzts, WxLsox.
On Sunday last, there passed to her
reward in the "city that bath founda-
tions," one of the pioneers of East
Wawanosh, Mrs. Wilson, relict of the
Iate James Wilson, in her 77th year.
She was born in Lanark, Lanarkshire,
Scotland, where she was married to
her deceased husband. They resided
for some time in Glasgow, but when
the hard times following the Crimean
war set in, they decided to emigrate
to the "new world" and with their
two children, bid Scotland and friends
their adieu. They resided for some
time at Columbus, Ont., but in 1882
came to East Wawanosh to make a
home for themselves in the almost un-
broken forest. Mrs. Wilson was a
truly typical, Scottish character, look-
ing faith/ally to the ways of her house-
hold and eating not the bread of idle-
ness. She was a kind and sympathe-
tic neighbor, and never in those early
clays, did she refuse the call by day or
night to aid the sick or distressed.
Her husband passed away about elev-
en years ago, and since then she has
continued to reside on the old home-
stead with her son Andrew and daugh-
ter Margaret. She had six sons and
two daughters. One son, Jaynes, is
dead ; the others are—John Wilson,
V. S., Gavin, William and George,
and Mrs. Robt. Stapleton, on the farm
adjoining the homestead. Thus in
comfort, sturounded by her family,
she spent her declining years until the
end came, and that end was peace.
She was a member of the Presbyterian
Church.
A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come ;
And we shall be witii`those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb.

Barn Raising Accident.
An unfortunate accident happened
on Monday last at Geo. Walker's rais-
ing, on the B. line. It will be remem-
bered that Mr. Walker's barn was de-
stroyed by fire caused by lightning
during the pest summer. The frame
of a, new one was being erected on
Monday, and as the work was nearing
completion, one of the putline plates
fell down, striking several of the Wren.
Mr. Walker received injuries to one
shoulder, and one wrist, but James
Fowler received very serious injury,
one of his lege being broken, near the
thigh. The day was wet and timbers
slippery, and it is fortunate that more
were not injured, Mr. Fowler will be
laid aside for some time.
Flower, Fruit and Honey Show.
A novel method of advertising the
Provincial Fruit, Plower and Honey
Show, which will be held in Toronto,
November 15.10, has been devised.
The Frtut Growers and Florists in-
terested have decided to give apples
and flowers free to every person who
attends the exhibition on two days of
the show. It is expected this will
.greatly increase the attendance and
add greatly to the interest taken in
the exhibition. The Fruit Growers,
with the Idea of increasing the de-
mand for fruit, are arranging to distri-
bute free of cast, neatly gotten up
booklets containing numerous recipes
for the cooking, preserving ete., of all
varieties of fruit, such as apples,
pears, peaches, plums and grapes.

The Wingham Branch of the Muskoka
Free Hospital.
The committee appointed to raise
funds for the endowment of a cot for
the consumptive poor in the Free
Hospital at Gravenhurst have unani-
mously agreed to place subscription
lists in the places herein named, so
that a personal canvas of the town
may not be necessary, hoping that
every citizen of the town will avail
themselves of the privilege of con-
tributing liberally to this deserving
object. Large or small sums will be
gratefully received. An open sub-
scription list will be found in each of
the Banks, T. Bell's furniture factory,
The Union furniture factory, Walker
& Clegg's Upholstering factory, Ben-
nett's planing mill, The Western
Foundry, Lloyd's sash and door
factory, Pringle & Grove's glove fac-
tory. An appeal is also being made
to all the fraternal societies of the
town, and the Sunday Schools. Mrs,
W. Corbould (residence over the
Bank of Hamilton) has been appoint.
ed treasurer and will be pleased to re-
ceive any special contributions that
friends of the movement may be dis-
posed to give. It is the earnest desire
of the committee that the citizens of
Wingham will kindly respond to the
appeal now being made in a manner
that will be a credit to our progressive
town. The object is to give free
medical treatment in the Hospital for
eonsmnptives to any resident of town
in need of such assistance. Other
towns are rendering generous help,
why not Wingham? "He that hath
pity upon the poor lendeth unto the
Lord,"—Prov. 19:17. Signed on behalf
