FORMER EXETER MINISTER RECALLS CAREER AS MINIS- STER; TEACHER IN WESTERN ONTARIO POINTS “Religious Life Meant Everything anti People Were Truly Happy” States Rev. S. W. Muxworthy THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE WITH THE, EDITORS AT THE NIAGARA CONVENTION Pictured above are some scenes from the recent convention of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association at Niagara Falls, when some three hundred attended, including editors and their wives from all parts of Canada and Newfoundland. At the top is shown the “million dollar view” from one of the windows of the General Brock Hotel, convention headquarters. At the bottom is the group picture of he delegates taken in front of the Falls. The two groups in the centre were snapped at the Canadian Cyanamid plant during a visit to that interesting industry. At the left centre are two speakers at the convention, Glen Bannerman, president of the Association of Canadian Advertisers and Frank B. Hutchinson who brought greetings from the New York State Press Association. At the right centre are the retiring president of the C.W.N.A., Frank J. Burns, of Kentville, N.S., and H. T. Halliwell, of Coleman, Alberta, the new president. Returning to London from a two weeks’ vacation at Port Dalhousie, Rev. S. W. Muxworthy, retired Meth­ odist clergyman, who resides with his daughter, Mrs. F. W. Manning, '838 King street, London, motored through the Niagara fruit area re­ cently. Although the London clergyman, during his many years in the minis­ try. was stationed on various circuits throughout Western Ontario, he was only once located in a fruit-growing area. The vicinity of Forest was long noted for its fine reaches. In many instances, farmers of the last century were engaged in clearing the land and growing grain and little attention was directed to the cultiva­ tion of orchards. Coming from England, the Mux­ worthy family settled near Munroe, on the Mitchell road, in the lovely County of Perth. A lad of 10, Mr. Muxworthy was sent to the country­ school. There were fifth classes in those days, however, and thus it was possible for young people to* study the high school subjects, if they . wanted to. Referring to nearly half a century I spent in ministerial work, Mr. Mux­ worthy recalled many pleasant as­ sociations with the devoted Chris­ tian men and women of earlier years As a probationer, he was first sent to “Little Britain” near Lindsay. Eastern Ontario, where he spent two years. His next charge was in Es­ sex County, where he carried on mis­ sionary work in the lumbering dis­ trict near Gesto, frequently walking miles along the trails or tramway in order to reach the cabins in the for­ est. Roads were had at that date and, on certain Sundays, the preach­ er tied the horse to a tree and pro­ ceeded on foot to the log church. Hardships Despite all the hardships and dif­ ficulties, the inhabitants made their way to the service. “The religious life meant everything and people were truly happy.” Mr. Muxworthy said. The Sunday School was held before or at the close of the regular service. Usually the adult members of the, congregation were present ano the minister was expected to teach the Bible Class. The Methodist clergy also visited the little log schools. On these oc­ casions it was customary for the teacher to invite the reverend gen­ tleman to conduct the class. Mn Muxworhy has taught several lessons in reading, literature and arithme- ’ tic. From Gesto he was transferred to Belmont and later to the beautiful village of Brownsville. There he met and married the daughter of a prom- i inent pioneer, Benjamin Hopkins, who for many years was reeve of Dereham Township. Oxford County. His probationary term having been completed,he was now prepared to take full charge of an appointment. Among the pastoral charges which he held were Thamesville, Glencoe, Dresden, Melrose, Arva, Teeswater, Main Street, Exeter, Forest and Watford. Recounting’ incidents while sta­ tioned in the London district, Mr. Muxworthy told of the term spent at Melrose, when every Sunday he drove over to Woodward, north of Poplar Hill, 12 miles distant and also to Duncrief, in Lobo Township. The Woodward family were prominent in the former church and Rich. Briggs in the latter. One Sunday, he was invited to preach at the Ark Church concession eight, London Township. In his -congregation were three of­ ficials of the St. John’s (Arva) cir­ cuit, all of whom were suffering from defective hearing. Shortly af­ terward, Rev. S. W. Muxworthy re­ ceived a call to the St. Johns cir­ cuit the said officials declaring that they had heard more of the Gospel preached that Sunday at The Ark than for many years. “The Christian men and women were recognized as the outstanding people of the community in earlier years,” Mr. Muxworthy stated. “And the world is once again beginning to realize the necessity of Christian living and the importance of the church, the Bible and family prayer in the life of a country.” KIPPEN W.
