L. Elliott of Lindsay Lived Beside the Manse at EgrnGndvilie Rev, A. W, Shepherd, of 337 Well- ington St., London, forwards the fol- lowing letter from an old resident of Egmondville, Mr, R, L. Elliott, which will be of interest. "A friend of mine has sent me your poem on the Manse at Egmond- ville, I was born in the next house north and my brother, at Mother's suggestion, planted the cedars to shield the manse verandah from the group of young people who congre- gated on our lawn. I remember when the trees were only two feet high. Father had four acres and sold an acre to the church for buildings, and a single house to the west to Mr. Henderson. When the church was built the sub -soil from basement was spread on top and it spoiled the soil of the corner; it was not so prolific as ours. From the rear seat in the church, looking out of the west door, I have seen countless crows from a huge elm tree in Mode - land's bush, cut in and out of the rays of the setting sun. We had a famous cow, "Old Lady," that led all the other cows past. the church early Stulclay morning, and headed them for the river, then she turned back and hovered around the gate, and on the second bar of the first psalm made a bee -line into the elsurch yard and ate the week's supply of grass with might and main, and was just m the awn from outside the gate y buggy whips when the farmers filed out. In my lime there were many democrats and the most of the horses were matched teams. I am the last of my family, and the first twenty-six years of my lite were spent as a human actor in that scene. Father was an elder for thirty years, keeping the communion set. "Yours sincerely, R. L. ELLIOTT. "46 William St., South, Lindsay, Sept. 28tH, 1941."

The encircling trees, the stately church, all make a setting fine— And this old Manse at Egmondville was once a hone of mine! The many rooms, the lengthy halls, the stair so high and straight; The study with its numerous books, the blazing fire in grate— Here lived our folks—one long since gone — whose love was half divine.; This dear old Manse at Egmondville once sheltered me and mine. Did you ever stand at Manse back- door and view the setting sun, And see the lawns, the gardens fair, aur neighbors, ours, in one? No fence, no barrier, blocked the path, just friendly cedar's sign— And this old Manse at Egmondville is still a love of mine! —REV. A, W. SHEPHERD. ATTENDS FUNERAL OF BROTHER AT GRIMSBY Rev. C. C.
