ROBERTSON Brooksido Road. Telep Tour of The Southland _ Mr. and Mrs. Ross Kerwtn and three of their children, Dav- id, Judy and Stephen, have just recently returned from a three weeks motor trip to Florida, and they tell us that on their way south, travelling by way of Bal- timore, the flowers were all in bloom early in April. Travelling southward through Virginia and north and south Carolinas they saw the farmers and negroes busy with tractors and mules, planting tobacco, cot- ton and peanut crops. They pas- sed through Georgia and were told that a heavy frost had ruin- ed most of the peach and pecan crops. Even the blooms of the magnolia trees had been killed. In Florida the Kerwins stayed at St. Petersburg where they vis- ited various beaches and enjoyed several boat trips, one out to Mullet Key about 25 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, where there is a large display of mar- ine life. They also visited Mac- Dill Field, near Tampa, where there is a large air-training field. Birthdays Birthday greetings on Tuesday. May 17, to Mrs. Lorne Clubine, and to Joyce Downing, on May 19. lst Jefferson Brownie News Brown Owl Mary Ensor and Tawny Owl D.

YOU may not borrow at all this year, but during 1955, over 1,000,000 Canadian families -â€" one out of four â€"- will borrow from consumer finance companies. Often this is the average family's only source of prompt money help in an emergency. Bu! cash credit is no magic wand, no Aladdin‘s lamp. That is why Household Finance â€" Canada’s largest consumer finance company â€" advises its customers not to borrow un- less a loan is the best solution to their problem. . By making only loans that help people to help themselves Household Finance has become Canada’s most recon-I- mended consumer finance company. Today in 170 branch offices from coast to coast, we make helpful loans to more families than any other company in our field.

United Church (Continued from page 1) “The Pride of Richmond Hill." and was for the use of all den- ominations. By mutual arrange- ment, the Presbyterians used the church in the morning while the Methodists. who by this time had grown sufficiently to form a congregation and pay a minis- ter’s stipend, used the building in the afternoon with the privi- lege of a prayer meeting during the week. During these early years, prayer meetings were also held regularly in various homes in the district as were the re- vivalist-type camp meetings. At many of the camp meetings men who had preached the Word of God in the back-woods of Cana- da and had suffered unknown hardships testified to the Hope of Salvation. Many of these were humble men with little ed- ucation or goods of the world yet they devoted their lives to preaching the gospel throughout the length and breadth of this yet little known country. Built In 1846 By 1846, the Methodist con- gregation had become sufficientâ€" ly lar'ge to support a church of its own and in January of 1846. work was started on land deeded to the congregation, now the site of Charlton Hardware on Yonge Street. The congregation erect- ed a frame building and began to hold services immediately. The Church remained unfinished for many years and it was not until 1860 that it was finally ded- icated. Tragedy Strikes On Sunday, December 21, 1879 tragedy struck the church. As the congregation listened to the sermon little did they know that within a few hours the church which they had built with their own labour would be re- duced to ashes. “Behold how great a matter a little fire kin- dleth," remarked the minister during the course of his address, adding, “Who knows how soon fire may overtake us”. At this very moment. a fire was smouldâ€" ering in the shed at the rear of the church. Needless to say, the irony of the situation was a great shock to the entire com- munity. Rebuild Undaunted by their misfor- tune, the Methodists started to rebuild in January 21, 1880, on land deeded to the congregation at the corner of Yonge and Cen- tre streets by Abram Law. The architect for the new building was Charles Walton and James Burns of Markdale was the con- tractor. Charles Chamberlain, son of the builder of the first Methodist Church laid the first brick. John Harris of Richmond Hill built the famous spire. The church was dedicated in 1881 by Rev. John Potts, D.D. The total cost of the church was $17 000. Receipts for the first year were $1,659.13. Church Union In 1925 an organizational change was effected when a por- tion of Presbyterian congrega- tions across the country, along with the Congregationalists, un- ited with the Methodists to form the United Church of Canada. Seventyâ€"five years old, the church still stands; the building itself and the active and rapidly growing congregation are 3 vi- tal tribute to the men and wom- en who pioneered in this dis- trict. The Liberal joins with the community in extending congratulations and best wishes to the whole United Church con- gregation on this happy occasion. I NORTH RICHVALE Correspondent: Mrs. M.
