The Presbyterian church which here entered union had its nucleus as an offspring from the church at Cashel and owed its existence large- ly to the efforts of Mrs. Mustard, mother of Mrs. R. A. Stiver. She was a member of Cashel Presbyter- ian church under the pastorate of Rev. Mr. MacIntosh. 0n the death of her husband Mrs. Mustard moved to UnionviIIe and missed the com- munion of the church to which she was accustomed. Wishing her fam- ily educated in the Presbyterian faith, she arranged with her former pastor to conduct services at Union- ville first in the manse and later in the Methodist church. When the congregational church was superced- ed by a more modern one the Presâ€" byterians purchased it and worâ€" shipped there till the Congregationâ€" alists joined with them and carried The Wesleyan branch of Methodâ€" ism was the first to establish a foot- ing in the village in 1840 anl con- structed a frame building on a lot just north of where the public school now stands, which was vacated in 1884 at the time of union. Unfor- tunately, the history of the Wesleyan Methodists is obscure, there being no church records available, and there is no one in the village who can remember it. The names of some of the original families are, Loundsborough, Chant, Size, Eck- ardt and Crosby. The names Chant, Size and Eckardt are the only ones remaining in the locality. The late Rev. John Potts came to the Wes- leyan church fresh from Ireland, and even at that early age distinguished himself as an outstanding preacher, later occupying prominent pulpits as pastor, among them the Metropoliâ€" tan church, Toronto. Dr. Burns was another pastor who also distinguishâ€" ed himself in later years as a preachâ€" er. in the Methodist church congregational church w ed by a more modern 0' byterians purchased it evening under the auspices of the; church choir, when guest artists from outside points will assist in a varied program. On Wednesday evening, October 25th the new addition was used for the first time when a turâ€" key supper was served, followed by a concert in the Township Hall. The history of the United Church is largely the history of the village of Unionville. In 1879 the present edifice was built, the outcome of the efforts of the then Primitive Metho- dist church. In 1884 the Union of all the Methodist bodies was con- summated, the Primitive and Wes- leyan being joined in this union, and the church building of the Primi- tives was used thereafter for wer- ship. The presence of Mrs. R. A. Stiver (Ella Mustard), a prominent churc’h worker in the Presbyterian and Unit- ed churches will b‘e sadly missed ow- ing to her ill health. Mrs. G. R. Whaley (Hattie Eckardt) a devoted worker in all its unions will also be absent from the same cause. Rev. A. E. Owen has been indefatigable in his efforts in the planning and lconstruction of the new addition, 3 (much of the labor being voluntary) much needed in a. church where ,youth training is regarded as of Iparamount importance. v A good program in Central Unitâ€" ed Church next Monday night at 8 o’clock under thhe auspices of the choir. Program will consist of mus- A. McMurray, Danforth United Church, Toronto, conducted the mornâ€" ing service, when the dedication of the new addition was observed. In the evening Rev. C. E. Kenny, of Guelph, a former pastor, had charge of the service. Next Sunday, Rev. A. M. Dallas, chairman of the Tor- onto East Presbytery, will minister in the morning, and the Rev. R. N. Morton, Newcastle, in the evening. After the evening service, a fireside meeting will be held to which Rev. Frank Rae, Willowdale, a former pastor, has been invited. The church choir will conduct the musical part of these services and will be assist- ed by outside talent. On Monday, October 23 a rally of young people was held with the president of To- ronto Conference Y.P. work address- ing the meeting. A grand concert will be held the following Monday evening under the auspices of the church choir, when guest artists from outside points will assist in a varied program. On Wednesday evening, October 25th the new addition was used for the first time when a turâ€" key supper was served, f0110wed by a concert in the Township Hall.
