New
The old ,Methtxltat church that once
graced my old home town of Shep-
pardton seems to be still upon the
map of the county of Huron. A pil-
grim from New York City, a native 0
Goderich, having read in his old home
town paper the account of the sale of
the old church, and having a boyhood
recollection of the old church, built in
1850, was anxious to see, before re-
turning to New York, what Mr. Fry
was making out of the [material of the
old church building. So he got a frlewl
to drive him and his wite out to Mr.
Pry's mid ou-ttfsletttrn ratted -et —MI
Old Curiosity Shop and told me that
Mr. Fry was doing wonders with the
old material. He advised me to gs.,
right out and see ?or myself. So I
broke one Sabbath morning las June
and went out Ns view the bsauttee of
Menesetung Park and see Mr. Fry's
cottages on the banks of Lake Huron,
As 1 neared the lake bank 1 beheld
a building.that was a cross between a
chapel and a bunagolw. The aiding
oe the "new" building bad graced the
old church at Sheppardton—the same
old skiing remembered fromdays
wham we boys who thought we were
too big end important to go into the
Suegey Ilishool would hang around
outolliati the chureb until the small
boys and the "gut*y-goody" boys came
oat,'We world erereword mulesup
on Ile old skiing, writing our name and
beneath It our best girl's name, then
crossing out the corresponding letters
to see if it came out odd or even. If
odd, she would not marry us; if even,
elle would. Rome of the bolder bad
boys wrote letters and drew ptctersh
on the same old siding.
As I neared the building I noticed
the old windowg through which the bad
boys used to Slake faces at the good
little boys In Rtmday school. These
Tete performances of the fang, long

these scenes pass before tnl eyes. But
Waal all Is vanity and Iskatton of
