SYNOD WILL MEET HERE NEXT WEEK (Continued from Page One) In the homes always a Benediction. The Anglican Church also played its part and the remembrances of her ministry are among our choicest thoughts. The Presbyteries of London and Huron played an important part in establishing the Auld Kirk in our midst. In 1860 the Presbytery of London sent Rev. John Rennie, in re­ sponse to the appeal of the Presby­ terians living along the “Upper Mait­ land” river, who preached in the hoine of Mr. Thomas Eadies and Organized LONDON - WINGHAM MOTORWAYS Change Of TIME-TABLE EFFECTIVE APRIL 24th Lv.

The Church now known as Ead­ ies, is named in honor of Mr. Eadies in whose home the congregation wor­ shipped. Mr. Rennie also organized the Bluevale Presbyterians into a congregations in 1856. He conducted worship in the log houses and left his imprint upon the community. From Huron Presbytery came Rev. Mr. MacLean of Clinton to preach in the log houses and school house near St. Helens. Of Mr. MacLean the follow­ ing‘story is still iold. One Saturday evening he was making his way. through the bush, he missed the log that had been thrown over the creek' upon which he had to cross, Dark­ ness came on and h'ow to get to Mr, John Cameron’s ill whose home he was to stay, bothered him. The dark­ ness deepened and Mr, MacLean’s anxiety increased. Doughty Scot that he was, lie knelt down and prayed out loudly for the Lord to direct his foot­ steps to John Cameron's. It happen­ ed that a genial Irish Catholic, Mr. McCann, heard the prayer and com­ ing up to Mr. MacLean, called out: “I am not the Lord but I can take you to Mr. Cameron’s.” And Mac- Lean slept at Cameron’s that night instead of in the bush.” Huron Pres­ bytery contributed also to the estab­ lishing of the Church in Wingham. In 1866 the Wingham congregation was organized by Rev. W. C. Young, sent to Wingham for that purpose by Hur­ on Presbytery. The same Presbytery in 1864 sent Mr. McDonald to or­ ganize a congregation, at White­ church. This congregation worship­ ped in Mr. Hamilton’s barn and was named East Kinloss. The years have brought many changes; Small mission stations have become large congregations, new ad­ justments in, “Charges” have been made, old ties have been severed and new ones formed. Rev. Robert Leask was the first minister at Whitechurch, but White­ church at that time was linked with St. Helens. Then a mission was started at Fordyce which was con­ nected with Whitechurch, Lanes Church being connected with St. Hel­ ens. The Fordyce mission developed into Calvin of East Wawanosh and was detached from Whitechurch, and connected with Belgrave, but it now with Whitechurch. Wingham was connected with Bluevale and Eadies. Bluevale was at one time connected with Aiubyville now Brussels. And thus it goes, the ebb and flow of hu­ man life have left their marks, and while in many of the smaller places the children and even grandchildren of the old stock are carrying on, many newcomers have arrived and have entered upon a noble heritage/ The writer has mentioned that a new Moderator will be elected at the opening sederunt. . This brings to mind that during sixty-three years the Synod has been functioning Maitland Presbytery has been honoured five times in having one of its ministers appointed as Moderator: Rev. H. Mc- Quarrie, of Wingham, in 1892, Rev. J. L. Murray, of Kincardine, in 1895, Rev. J. S’, Hardie, Ashfield, in 1919, Rev. D. Perrie, Wingham, in 1927, and Rev. T. D. McCullough, Kincar­ dine, in 1931. The writer delights to converse with those, who are well spent in years, who as children remember the near pioneer days and who heard their parents tell of incidents of years before. He listep^d.to such a one a few days ago ^nd in imagination could see the crowds as they walked the roads, some! for miles, going to­ ward the place of ineeting. He ming­ led with them, listened to their gossip and chit-chat, sat among them as the Minister pr Priest, service being ov-. 6f, told them the news of the day. The mind would wander from one thing to another; from Sabbdth day services to the prayer hteetings, from the people to those who - ministered to them. Many “Blue Nose” Presby­ terians settled in Culross township. Prayer meetings were held in Elder MacKay’s home on the 4th of that township. One. of the first ministers in the Teeswater district was Rev. Adam MacKay, a highland Scotsman who not only preached to scattered groups but took up land also. Anoth­ er name of long ago that is rememb­ ered is Rev. Peter Currie. But I must stop for I have not the right to presume on the good nature of the Editor and perhaps it would serve me right were he to exercise his prerogative and use his scissors.
