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 ego,- bat t seem to be a boy` again as these scenes pass before tnl eyes. But Waal all Is vanity and Iskatton of spWrit.
