Gypsy Picks Octogenarian's Pocket Driving three large cars, a band of gypsies visited Port Elgin > on Wednesday morning last, and one of our citizens at least is poorer but wiser as a result of their call. Four women were in the band, two of whom worked each side of the main street with the old game of "cross my palm with silver and I will tell your fortune." As the women went in and out of stores, the cars driven. by the men followed them up. Whe- ther they gipped any of the business men or not we have not learned, and if they did we, no doaibt, will never hear of it. However, the women did not confine their nefarious work to business men, but one of them ap- proached Mr. A. F. Campbell, a local octoegnarian; in Stowe's blacksmith cuit or mission, with ` Rev, Thomas Cleworth and D. W, Thompson as pastors. Abottt that year (for .I am'writing from memory) the frame Church which stood where the present com- modious edifice stands, ,was erected. It was opened by Rev. Wm. 'PI. Poole of Goderich, who preached in the morning and evening, and Rev, E. Cragg, of Teeswater, in the af- ternoon. The settlement- must' have been new at that time, as Mr, Cragg once told me that he could hear from within the church the gather- ing of the people who came with ox teams to the opening services. From 1870 to 1873 Rey. Geo. II. Kewny was the pastor, assisted by juniors (as the . charge embraced Belgrave, Bluevale, Brick Church and Hen- nings). In 1878 Rev. Henry Kellen came •and gave most devoted and un- stinted service for nearly two years, ending his career there in April 1875 at the early age of 37.

"REMINISCENCES BY D. ROGERS Having been released from the ur- gencies of a busy pastorate, extend- ing over forty years in Western On- tario, I have been able to serve as "a supply" in various places, to the extent of conducting from, 50 to 75 services per year. Now, I find it itecessary and wise to desist from a strenuous service of over 58 years, and often take pleasure in review- ing the scenes and labors in the Me- thodist Church during that period. Among them Wingham comes to mind. . Before coming to my first charge in Arthur in 1875 I had heard of Wingham as one of the new and thriving villages, and that its growth was stimulated by the in -going of the G. T. R. and T. G. and B. trains in the early seventies. The early Methodist people of the place were served by ministers from Blyth Mis- sion up to 1868 (Revs. Campbell, Bistol and Hanna), at which time Wingham was made a separate cir- Cornish gave of his best to the charge. 1885-86-87 D.

Canada, and as it is native to all parts of the Dominion as far north. as the Sixty-fourth parallel it is per- haps as widely cultivated as any of our fruit crops. The extension of transportation facilities through the use of the motor -car and truck have work during all those decades? I hesitate in the attempt to name them lest I should omit some of the best, but memory calls up among the earliest I knew: Dr. Fowler, John Neelands, Mr. Flack, R. Mclndoo, F. G. Sperling, Messrs. Cruikshanks, Gregory Galbraith, and among later ones, Geo. Mason, W. J. Greer, Jno. Kerr, Fessant, Patternson, Rush Is- ard, Buchanan, Wellwood, Howson, Revs. N. S. Burwash and Theophilus Hall. A great galaxy of names wor- thy of record, but the chastening thought comes that so few are left —not one among the ministers nam- ed, and perhaps not more than four or five of the laymen. However, "they laboured and we have entered into their labors." I am grateful "to be spared and able to recall readily the faces, nam- es and facts concerning so many people and places, and that the re- view is not moved by physical dis- ability or mental imbecility.
