The present beautiful structure which was opened in 1912 and which was recently redecorated, is the direct descendant of the little log church which was opened for Divine worship in 1851 and the little brick -church which was built in 1872. In this place during all these years the congregation of Roy’s have loyally and lovingly maintain ed God’s Altar. In the Kirk yard is God’s, acre where lies all that is mortal of these hardy pioneers who originally settled in the Queen’s Bush and hewed homes for them selves and their growing families of sons and daughters, out of the vir gin forest of the last century. The present Kirk Session is com posed of Rev. Hugh D. Taylor, min ister; Stewart Dow, Clerk, Robert Graham, Simon Dow, John Morgan and Wilson Tremeer.

Malcolm, of Seaforth United Church, Chairman of the Huron Presbyery brought greetings from Presbytery, in an able and moving address in which he bore tribute to the perseverance, courage and godliness of the pion eer stock of the countryside. Rev. Rev. T. R. Turner, of Staffa bore greetings from Staffa and Cromarty in well chosen remarks. The Rev. Jas. Anthony from Motherwell, _ a- former pastor of the charge, enliv ened the assembly with an interest ing and forceful address in which he emphasized the fact that while we honor our forebears still our problems are in the present and. we face the future. If we bring spirit, devotion and faith of fathers to bear upon present blems we shall succeed in ways we as- yet scarcely dream of. The -address of the afternoon delivered 'by the Rev. R. G. McKay, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Prince Albert. Sask. He is a former pastor at Roy’s and was back again amongst the former parishioners and old friends. He spoke intimately of the earlier days, when as a young man on his first charge he led the people in,the building of their present stately church structure. He spoke feelingly of his happy rela-i tionships with a generation of church leaders in the congregaion which had all but entirely passed on to their reward. Names like Roy and Park, Morgan, Dow, Balfour, Christie, Hocking, Dalrymple and Graham, have through the years been associated with the building of homes and the creation and main tenance of the Church of the Living God in Roy’s Community. The Speaker noted with joy that their sons and daughters were today car rying on in the spirit and tradition of their forebears. The memorial service wag the happy occasion of many joyous re unions. it was a time when feelings were running deep. It was a time of devout reverence and glad remem brances. ___ C.
