Chevalier d8 Puisaye, who drew the . patent in 1806 for the farm afterwards uuned by Mr. H. G. Bernard, according m Lamartiue in his “History of the Giroudists,” was a. diplomatist, a soldier and an orator, and according to M, Maple Early Methodism in Richâ€"‘ mond Hill. curly 0Ccnpied by the Wilmots, Shaws, Miles, Fultnns.

Loyalists driven {ruin the other side of the lines after the War of Independence, by having their lives made uncomfortable by caiilinued annuyances, or to seek a home in the forest along Yunge Street opened npry the Qneen’s Rangers in 1800 as a. military road to the north. These were almost all Episcopalians or Presbyterians. The members of the Church of England had their spiritual in- terests attended to by the Rev. John Strachan, afterwards Bishop of Toronto, whnse parish at that time extended from Toronto to the North Pole. Through the indefut‘gnble energies of the Rev. Wm, Jenkins, the first missionary to our to Laniartine in his “History of the Girondists,” was a. diplomatist, a soldier and an orator, and according to M. Theirs, in his “ French Revolution,” he was a man of great intelligence, extraor- dinary skill in party management and of vast ambition. After the Chevalier left ‘ here and Went to Eigland he wrote the memoir of his life and the political history of his country in five volumes, and died in London in 1827. These refugees se- lected the territory north of us because the Ridges reminded them of the valleys and hills of their native land, and because they thought that a section of country with a soil so rich as to grow such mag- nificent pine trees would produce splendid grapes. All these settlers were ladies and gentlemen of La Belle France. Their whole lives had been spent in castle and chateau, built perhaps years before they were born. They knew nothing of archi- tecture, and the homes they built in the forest were unfit for dwellings for the poorest paupers. Although these exiles from their native land came away in haste and in disguise when they heard the hoarse cry of the mob “down with the nobility," when hundreds of heads rolled from the guillotine every day, and the riter Seine ran with blood, they did not forget their valuables or come with empty pockets. These rough log slianties con- tained dress, gold and jewelry rare and beautiful. Toronto (York at that time), under Governor Simcoe, was the resort of military officers and English gentry and the centre of fashion. Here the refugees spent the most of their time in society, and astonished the aristocracy of the future city at the balls and receptions by the splendour of their dress and the value and brilliancy of their diamonds. On the recall of Louis XVIII. to the throne of France and the restoration of, the Bourbons in» 1814, all these refugees, ‘ like a lot of children glad to get home, left their rough shanties and small clear- ings and started for sunny France, except the St. Georges and the Saigeons, whose descendants are with us to-day. These French exiles were Catholics, Episcopal- ians, and nuthingsrians. Their deserted farms were taken up by other settlers, 1‘1 W m.

At this revival Mr. James Gooder- hum, then a clerk in Mr. John Brunskill’s store, was converted. He was called to the ministry of the Toronto Conference in 1848. at the age of twenty-one years. Instead of continuing as a circuit rider, he became a. business man, and filled many honorable positions. \Vhen acting as President of the Credit Volley Rzlll‘ road he was accidentally killed on the day the road was opened for traffic. Through the influences of these revival services and faithful niinistralions of the pastors of those days, especially during the thirties, the Methodists gradually in- creased in numbers until their influence began to be felt. They were the little lesyen that was destined to some extent to leaven the whole lump. “H Lar~ Jay was tied )gs.
