The most important event which has occurred in the history of the congrega- tion of Tiffin's Methodist church on the Whitechurch circuit for many years was the laying of the corner stones of the new church on Thursday, June 18th. The day was all that could be desired. The crowd was largo, attentive and in- terested itt the proceedings. Promptly at four o'clock the services were com- menced by Rev. D. Rogers,of Fordwich, chairman of 1V.`ngham District. Besides the chairman and the pastor there were present Revs. Harris and Oaten, of Luck - now, Kerr, of Teeswater, Sawyer, of Salemu, and Dann, of Whitechurch. Stones were laid on behalf of the trus- tees and congregatiou respectively by Mr. John Tif]iu, of Nile, and Mr. Juo. Joynt, of Lucknow. After these gentle- men had fluished layirg the stones they each were presented with a beautiful boquet o` flowers by a grand niece of Mr. Tiffin's. Mr. Tiffin's speech was largely rewinscent. Ho told of having chopped down the first tree on the farm where the church now stands. He gave iu detail the history of building the old church and cited many of the pioneers of Kinloss who assisted in the work and who were now sleeping in the church- yard across the road. His address gave a real, true, picturesque glimpse huto pioneer life which was much enjoyed by the large gathering. Mr. Joynt's address consisted mainly of advice to the members and others engaged. in the good work of building a temple of God. His explauation of giving as God has prospered ns and how to find the Lord's tenth of our income was very lucid and instructive. After the stones had been declared well and truly laid and the speech -making was over the whole con- course adjourned to Mr. Wm. Tiffin's grove where a garden party was held. A sumptuous repast was prepared by the ladies, after which an excellent pro- grame was rendered, consisting of ad- dresses by the clergymen, music by the Teeswater Methodist choir aud Miss Jetta Ferguson and instrumental music by Mr. S. Morrison, of Lucknow. Too much credit cannot be given to the choir for the very able manner in which they carried out their share of the evening's entertainment. Probably the most in- teresting item on the program was the secretary's report showing that the day's receipts were slightly over $200. The estimated cost of the church is 31350 and of this sum $1100 has been provided. For this magnificent showing the con- gregation and Rev. C. C. Imine, their able enthusiastic andget u r i e e c pastor, deserve a great deal of praise a3 every- one who knnws the circumstances will cheerfully admit.
