This first service honoured our background background of Methodism, especially the years 1869 - 1925. The congregation was met at the door by David Craig, Robert Pascoc and Jim Woodley, all suitably attired. These gentlemen also acted as ushers. ushers. The prelude by James Lowery and John Vaneyk on violins, accompanied accompanied by Jacqueline Vaneyk on the organ, set the mood by using hymn tunes commonly used in the time period. period. The service was conducted by Mrs. Michelle Hofman. Women in ministry were not common in those days, but Mrs. W. Kenner and Mrs. J. Eynon both led services of worship when the need arose (pre 1900). The scriptures, read by John Vaneyk, Bill Hasiuk and Jake Kocnc, were those used on January 3, 1869. Words to the three hymns came from the new 1880 Methodist hymn book. The Tyrone Tyrone choir, with flute (organ) and piano piano accompaniment, presented a beautiful beautiful rendition of "What a Friend," Jane Koene assisting. Guest speakers for the occasion were our circuit rider and his wife. Fred and Sandi Archibald pondered the merits and difficulties of church union of 1884, and wondered about the future of the village and of the church. Mr. Archibald's next sermon will be on spiritual union, commitment, commitment, and the love of God. Following the service, the congregation congregation retired to the parlour for a small repast. Lace, old linen, doilies, homespun, oil lamps, candles, 1897 Eaton's catalogue, a cedar Christmas tree decorated with wooden and straw ornaments and cranberry and popcorn strings, even a silver salver with calling cards - all these gave an atmosphere of long ago. Sandwiches, goodies, tea and coffee were enjoyed by all. The guests lingered to visit and to look at scrapbooks, old hymn books and some written records of days gone by. It was a pleasure to see some former former residents. Among them were Mr. Earl Goodman, Mrs. Pauline All- dread Hodgson, Mr. Stan Hodgson and Mrs. Audrey Rosevear. Also among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Rowlie Coombes, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Allan Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Johnston, Johnston, Mrs. Helen White, Mrs. Kathy Hoar Kuzemchak, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Craig, and Mr. and Mrs. Don Rose. Mrs. Rose is a granddaughter of a former minister, Reverend J. Wesley Down, 1924-1926.

Engagement Announced The congregation of Tyrone United Church started the year with a celebration of the church's 125th anniversary. To mark the occasion, many of the worshippers turned out in costumes of yesteryear. In this photo, Chris Brock and her children, Jessica, Mathew and Luke sign the guest book prior to the start of the service. A building at the site of the Tyrone United Church was first erected in the summer of 1868. The original building was 50 x 35 feet in size, not including the vestry. It was constructed at a cost of about $3,400. The church was opened on Wednesday, December 30,1868, with the first Sunday worship worship services taking place Sunday, January 3rd, 1869. . Some of the congregation of the Tyrone United Church posed for this photo following a service on Sunday, January 2. This year, the church is observing its 125th anniversary. Sunday's service attempted to re-create as closely as possible, the atmosphere at the church over 100 years ago.

For the first column of the new year, we'd like to mention the fact that in 1965, 50% of Canadians smoked. In 1992, that percentage dropped to 26%: If you are still a smoker, why not help reduce that figure further. You'd help yourself too! Genetic researchers at the University of Iowa have found a gene responsible responsible for causing glaucoma, an eye disease that is the second leading cause of blindness In North America. They were helped by a family of whom 21 out of 22 living members had the disease. Ether and chloroform were introduced as anesthetics into surgery in 1846 and 1847 respectively. Prior to that time, surgeons had to work very quickly quickly with only alcohol and opium to help the patient through the ordeal.
