A memorable occaelon in the history
of Knox Church, 13luevale, took place
on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 15th,.
when, having cleared their fine new
church edifice of debt, the membere,
adherents and Mende of the congre-
gation gathered to rvitneee the burn-
ing of the mortgage. The event was
celebrated by an oyster supper in the
sohoolrooru of the church, at the con -
elusion of which the ceremony of hum-
ing of the mortgage took place in the
auditorium, which was filled by a
large and interested audience. Rev..
Crawford Tate, pastor of the congre-
gators, was the master of ceremonies,
and after an opening chorus by the
choir, he introduced the subject of the
evening by giving a brief review of the
history of the congregation whieh was
first orgonized in the year 1850, so
that the present year is the Diamond
Jubilee of the church. The early ser-
vices were held in the log houses of
the settlers, then in the village echool
house which was latey turned into a
residence which now stands to the
northeaet of the church. In 1800 a
frame church was erected which stood
till'the present structure was built at
a cost of $8,000, entailing a great deal
of sacrifice, many hard days labor and
much generosity on the part of the
people, but which haswell repaid their
efforts by the pleasure and service, it
has rendered by its coovenience and
beauty. Mr. Tate then asked Mre.
Thynne and Mr. Jas. Elliott, two of
the oldest members of the congregat-
ion to come forward and take seats at
the table on which stood a silver tray
and match holder. Mr. Elliott in re-
turning thanks for the honor done
Mr. Thynne and himself humorously
suggested that the honor was due
to the fact that he and Mr. Thynne
were the best looking couple in the
congregation. Mr, P. S. MacEwen re-
presenting the Trustees, then prepared
the mortgage for burning which was
held on the silver tray by Mre. Thynue
while Mr. Elliott applied the match
set the document on fire and as it
burned away the congregation rose
and sang "Praise God from whom all
blessings flow." At the conclusion of
the ceremony. Mr. Robt. Black, chair
man of the Board of Managers. was
called forward and in a few pleasant
words presented the silver tray and
match -holder to Mrs, Thynue and Mr.
Elliott pespectively on behalf of the
congregation. Each article was en-
graved with the following inscription:
