THE CLREdtUN
X •
At 30 o'clock Rev. J. L,Lundy, the
A2, lot e
Y,
energetic store pounced the 98th
Psalm and after it had been heartily
sung Rev. Mr. Lacklaud read the
Scriptures and Rev. Mr. McLean, ,of
Ripley, Moderator of Maitland Pres-
bytery, offered prayer.
Words of welcome and good cheer
werespoken bythe chairman after
P
which he introduced a well known
gentleman in the person of Elder Jas.
Smillle to give historical data as to
Presbyterianism, in Walton.
Mr. Smillie was heartily greeted.
He referred to Huron Co. as the
garden of the Do inion spoke of the
truggles of the pioneersandthen
proceeded to tell of early scenes as
far back es 65 years ago. Rev. Juo.
Ferguson served Brat as pastor of
13 ussels, Oranbrook and Walton dur-
ing which the first church teas built.
After 13 years labor Mr. Ferguson
resigned and Rev. A. McNaughton
came followed by Reeds. Ballautyne,
Forrest, McNab and Lundy. Faith-
ful work was done amidst many ups
and downs. Few of the old folk re-
main but he was personally glad to
have a share in this undertakiug of
building the new church and; hoped
loyalty and faithfulness will mark the
career' of all co:merited, Mr. Smillie
is among the veteran members.
The corner stone, bearing the in-
scription, Duff's church, 1912, was
then placed by contractors .Brown &
Park and Reeve J. Shortreed, of
Morris, was asked to deposit the usual
documents and papers ,in the recep-
tacle in the stone.
In the absence of Rev. Mr. McKay,
Moderator of the Presbyterian church,
of Toronto, who was nimble to attend
his place was taken by Rev. Dr. Turn-
bull, of the Queen city, and he was
called upon to perform the ceremony
of laying the stone. After prayer' the
Dr. proceeded with the duty in the
name of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, hoping that the voice of pray-
er and melee and the preaching and
teaching of the Gospel would be heard
and blessed for many a long year and
that rich and effectual blessings
would descend upon the cmngregati n
and neighborhood, With a fine silver
trowel the stone was then tapped and
declared well and truly laid. Dr.
Turnbull then gave' a fine address
calling to mind that he was an old
Hurou Co. boy, being born in Us -
borne township and had served as
assistant pastor with the late Rev.
Dr. Tire, of Goderich. He urged uur-
ty, the building of character and an
effort to always do your best.
A suitable anthem was well sung
by the choir; following which the of-
fering of the day was taken amount-
ing to over $250.
Short, congratulatory, humorous
and relniniscent addresses followed by
Reeds. Messrs. McLsae, Ripley ;
Lackland, Walton ; D. 13, McRae,
Cranbrook ; Carswell, Winthrop ;
Ferguson, Belgrave ; Wishart, Brus-
sels ; and Oraustor, Palmerston, the
latter supplying the pulpit of Duff's
church 12 years ago.
The National Anthem was loyally
and heartily sung' and the speech-
making continued, Jas. Bowman, M,
P., East Huron ; Barrister Proudfoot,
NL P.,P., Oeutre•T1urm) ; W. H. Kerr,
of THE roar and Reeve Govenlock,
of McKillop, expressing their good
wishes. After all had been heartily
thanked by the pastor the afternoon
proceedings were brought to a close
by singing "All hall the power of
Jesus' name" and the Benediction
pronounced by Rev, Dr. Turnbull, .A.
fine social time followed in which
pleasant associations of the past were
revived for an hour or two, The tie
Foot 131011 match between the married
men and ynung men of the Locality
afforded some good sport and interest-
ed the big crowd.
Supper was served by the Ladies'
Aid in the basement of the old church
where long tables laden with the best
of everything were waited upon by
matrons and maidens in up-to-date
style as the 600 or 000 people were
served. It was no small task but
there was 110 shortage even after all
had been supplied, indicating the
generous supply that had been made
