Kennedy was inducted as first rector .of Darlington, and he ntinued in that; offie until 1852, when he left the parish to beconic secretary of the Church Society of the Diocese of Toronto. According to the statement writ- ten by his own hand the Rev. Alex- ander MacNab succeeded Mr. Ken- nedy at Easter 1852 though there is no entry in the register by him un- til 'October 5th of that year." Dr. MacNab was not formally inducted into the charge until July 1st, 1853. It was during his rectorship that the present church was built, the torner stone having been faid on July: 12th, "1855. A"copy of the service sheet used on that occasion is still in existence and from'it we give the lollowing historical extract: "Inscription on vellum, deposited in a bottle placed in the hollow of the corner stone: "The corner stone, of St. John's ICAL CLGET- Rak Tomorrow ICL GR LG TONIGHT Quick Relief for CONSTIPATION BILIOUSNESS BLOATING, ETC.

The Hon. and Right Rev- erend, John Strachan, D.D, LL.D, Lord Bishop of the Diocese of Tor- onto, the Rev, Thomas S. Kennedy, secretary of the Church Society, the Rev. Alexander Macnab, Doctor in Divinity' and rector of Darlington, and George H, Low and Frederick Cubitts, esquires, church wardens." The service sheet then goes on to give the names of the building com- mittee, the architect and the build- ers. . : The church was finished some- time in 1856, at a cost -of about $9,000. Dr. Macnab remained in of- fice until Iris death on November 15, 1891, a period of some 39 years. The third rector was the Rev, R. A. Bilkey 'who took charge in 1892 and who remained as rector until during his tenure of office including the removing of high posts on the pews in which the gentlemen of the congregation were in the habit of using as hat racks. Considerable alterations were also made during, the rectorship of the Rev, Richard Seaborn and it was dur- ing the rectorship of the Rev. W: E. Carrol who followed Mr. Seaborn that the present organ was installed. The Rev. T. A. Nind, now of Port Perry, succeeded Mr. Carrol in 1911 and it was during his time that the parish hall and rectory were built. The Rev. C. P. Muirhead took over the charge in 1917 and was followed in 1923 by the Rev. (. S. Postleth- whole of which has been paid off. 1925. The ninth and. present rector, the Rev. R.:J. Shires, M.A, 'B.D., took his first service in Bowmanville on All Saints Day, November 1st, 1925, and will complete his term of office on September 30th this year, going from this charge to a more ardous and dificult one in the Haliburton Misgion Field. During the rector- ship of Mr: Shires, the 'church has been entirely renovated necessiating an expenditure of some $4,200, the whoel of which has been paid off The external appearance of the church was altered last year when the steeple was removed following a severe storm in which it was dam- aged beyond repair. That is a brief but interesting his- tory of St. John's Anglican Church in 'Bowmanville. It has not been a history of succeeding successes hut has been one of sacrifice, and hard work in which the church has risen supreme above all obstacles and 13 now, thanks to a long succession of sterling men as rectors, in a more flourishing condition than at any time in its entire history of close on to a century. WELFARE SOCIETY 1S ORGANIZED ON PERMANENT BASIS (Continued from Page 1) lists were opened and an appeal made through The Oshawa Daily Times for funds for relief and Christmas Cheer, to which there was a very generous response, nearly $10,000 being raised. Re- ports will be presented by our Secretary, Mr, Hamilton, and treas- urer, Mr. Joyce, showing how this money has been expended. "The Christmas Cheer Commit- tee under the leadership of Mr. C. N. Henry, its chairman, helped a large number of families to enjoy the Christmas season. The women's welfare organization, under the capable administration of Mrs Gowdy and a band of devoted wo- men looked after clothing needs, making goed use of a large quanti- ty of used clothing and purchasing new clothing, boots and shoes, where needed. These activities are being continued under the new president, Mrs, Arthur Williams, who has consented to give this meeting a brief report of the work. Although somewhat handicapped by the lack of a trained social worker we were fortunate in secur- ing a very caable young woman, Miss Robertson, to take charge of the office and have also been for- tunate im securing very valuable counsel from Judge D. B, Harkness, who is with us tonight, director of surveys of the Community Welfare Council of Ontario, and Miss Grace Jackson, field worker of the Coun- cil. Valuable Co-operation "T also wish to mention very helpful co-operation with the pub- lic health department of the city -- Miss Harris, and all the nurses hav- ing 'assisted greatly in home visit- ing. We are equally indebted té Miss Farncombe of the city welfare department, from whom our office has had very excellent co-operation. ay 1 give as my opinion that if those who criticize: Miss Farn- combe's administration knew her better and particularly if they had to meet the difficulties and prob- lems which she i to meet in her | USED wo car. ; ? - 11929 ESSEX COUPE. car. 1--1928 CHEV, SEDAN. 1--1927 CHEV.

Miss Farngombe is human and like all of us makes mistakes but 1 am filly convinced that in Miss Farnconibe the city of Oshawa has 'a worker that in abili- ty and loyalty it would be very hard to replace, New Constitution "We desire to present to you fo- night a proposed constitution for this organization which we think will placé the work on a more per- manent and satisfactory basis. A feature of this constitution is pro- vision for the establishment of a Family Welfare Board, which would employ a trained social worker to confer with and assist families over the hard places, "It is proposed also that each or- ganization interested in welfare work become a mipmber of the Osh. awa Associated elfare Societies, paying an annual membership fee of three dollars and appointing three of its members officially to represent it at meetings of the or- ganization. Provision is also made for individual membership for those who are interested in the work, and who are not officially appointed as representatives of any organization. Government Aid "From Ottawa today has come definite announcement indicat- municipalities can a ing just how recent session of parliament both for municipal construction and direct relief and | hope our municipal council take full adantage of the tunity offered. 1 am not speak- ing in any sense politically, but 1 think our government at Ottawa is to be commended for the prompt and practical action it has taken in this respect "The Chamber also to be commended for ing porty owners and others to find odd jobs for men who are unemployed Financing Problems incerely will oppor- launcl of the incoming executive steps to finance the work for coming year and [I sugges! meeting give some éxpression opinion on this important matier for the guidance of the ney execu tive. Personally, 1 am of the opin- jon that a much larger fund than that raised last year will be need- ed and 1 believe this can only raised by an intensive canvass the community so that everyone this ol ast year, as you will remember, there was an invitation through The Times, but this was not followed up by a direct canvass such as [ believe should be undertaken thig year, Need Apparent "The need is apparent hand and I am sure every ono mist be moved to pity every day because of the hardship endured by fellow citizens who dre the victims of a state of affairs for which they are in no way responsible, I believe you will all agree with me that it should be the joint endeavor of our City Council and of this and all other welfare organizations that eat and enough fuel to keep them warm during the coming. winter, [ believe there is already a rift in the dark clouds and that hrighter days are ahead but In the mean- time we must all pull together to relieve distress and those of us who are able must recognize our re- sponsibility to help out those whe are less fortunate." Secretary's Report A very comprehensive report of the activities of the Welfare socielies since the opening of the office of the sented by the secretary George Ham ilton. In his report it was shown on the files reports on close on to tigated and assistance ranging from one strip of milk tickets to full or familiesd: During the period 257 or- ders have been issued as follows: -- Groceries, 26; fuel only, 44; grocer: fes and fuel, 34; milk only, 15; fuel and 'milk, 2; groceries and milk, 10; groceries, bread and milk, 23; fuel, bread and milk, 9; fuel, groceries and milk, 9; fuel, groceries, bread and milk, 41; bread and milk, 31. During the winter months a num- ber of meal tickets were printed and distributed by several of the clergy, residing in the central sections of the city, to His Worship the Mayor, Chijef Friend, Canadian Legion and the secretary. Women's Welfare The Women's Welfare Society in reports, as presented by Mrs. C. 0. Miller and Mrs. T. I. Caldwell showed fhat the organization with a membership of eighty was divided into six committees that covered the field of work carried on by the society. During the period covered by the report the society had administered to 812 families, comprised of 917 children and 245 adults. In its work the society has raised $3,106.37. « $3,103.58 of this amount has been used in (he work of aiding the needy, leaving a balance of $2.99 in the treasury. The meeting was greatly enthused with the splendid reporfs presented by the Womens' Soelety, and com- mended it very highly on the high order of the work which it>had so capably carried out. It is confident ly expected that this year, the society as an integral part of the Associated Welfure Societies may be able'to en- ter a larger field of endeavour bet 'ter fitted to carry on. Treasurer's Report "Mr, Joyce, treasurer of the Wel fare Societies presented the financial association, which ghowed that $9,150 had been re 'ceived, $349 of which was the bal: ance from last year. At the present time the &ociéty has $585 on hand denoting that the society has: not been idle during the last winter and early summer. Special mention was made of the work of the Society at : the Christmas season last year, when 412 needy fam'lies were bled to celebrate the festive season through the work of the welfare movement in the city, Judge Harkness Judge Harkness, of 'Toronto, Di: rector of Surveys of the Community Service - Council of 'Ontario, who has taken a great interest in the social welfare movement in all its phases gave a very interest- ing and instructive address on the problems contingent to welfare work. He expressed himself as much pleas ed with the spirit of 'the meeting and the excellence of the reports which had been presented, The spirit of co-operation that was in evi: dence among the various societies in the city was very commendable, in as much as in many communities it was extremely hard tg get the proper overlapping of workers, as- serted Judge Harkness. There are in modern life many factors that de- mand a more thorough understand- ing than ever before. Poverty, de- linquency and disease all present new phases that we should seek to undergtand and endeavour to work out a salvation for them that will place the race farther ahead. Judge Harkness felt that in Oshawa the number of subscribers to the Wel fare movement would be materially increased this year. A larger num- ber in the work would helsaid lead to a better understanding of social conditions and ultimately lead to a better state of society, The speaker commented favorably upon the rela- tions whicl? existed between the var- avail themselves of funds voted at | work | of Commerce is | a campeign to encourage pro-| "It will naturally fall to the lot | to take | the | of | be | able to contribute will be reached. | on every | every family shall have enough to Association last December was pre: | ious civic boards in the city.

The | most important step forward was the development of private interest in | the community, | ~ Officers Elected Following the address of Judge | Harkness, the nominating commit- tee brought in its list of nominations | for the executive positions, The nom- | inations which were unanimously re- | ceived by the meeting were as fol lows: Hon. President, G. W, Me Laughlin; President, A. R. Alloway; Ist Vice-President, H, P. Schell; 2nd Vice-President, Rev. A. M. Irwin; | Secretary, Gep. Hamilton; Treasurer, | T. W. Joyce; Members of the Execu tive, Mrs. Arthur Williams, Dr. 'T W. GG. McKay, Rev. R. B. Patterson, Rev. Father Bench, Mr. Alloway, the newly elected president, expressed the hope 1 the might have a borte re\ | port to present at the annual meet- ing in the spring, and thanked the society for the honor which it had | conferred upon him, | Financial Campaign Consideration of plans for the rais- {ing of the necessary funds to carry {on the work of the society brought | forth an interesting discussion of | various methods which might be | employed in go doing, This discus | sion stressed the need of a large sunt being raised for relief and welfare purposes, and the necessity of undertaking this work at as early a date as possible, and the follow. | ing resolution was passed wunani- mously = "That the executive be authorized to undertake at an early date a di- rect 'canvass of the citizens of Osh- |awa, or adopt any other means they | deem wise to of®ain funds for wel- {fare and relief purposes." | = Other Resolutions | Two important resolutions were passed by the meeting. After the details of the provisions made by the Dominion Government to aid | municipalities in giving financial | relief and providing work for the | unemployed - were explained to the | meeting, the following resolution was | passed | "Whereas the Deminion = Govern- ment has made provision whereby { municipalities ean receive financial | assistance to assist with special works undertaken in order to pro vide unemployment relief work, and has also laid down regulations gov- | erning such assistance, and has pro- | soclely that at the present time there weve | 500 families which have been inves | i g ro ders of groceries or fuel given to 150 | | | | | | | your skin healthy --and it will be lovely Evizasern Arnen's method only aims to keep the skin healthy, to quicken circula- tion through the tissues, to stimulate the action of the pores.

"This meeting strongly urges the City Council of Oshawa to take im- mediate action to secure a substan. tial share of the monies being set apart to assist in carrying on unem- ployment relief works, and to secure government assistance in providing direct relief in. those cases for which it is found impossible to provide employment." A second resolution was also pass ed aiming to alleviate in some degree the unemployment situation in Osh- awa. Mr. Alloway expressed the hope that with regard to this second re- solution that those people who had gardens to fix in the fall or any cleaning to do would take advantage of the opportunity of getting this work done and at the same time help in giving work to men who other: wise would not have any labor to bring in money for their families, The resolution dealing with the local situation was as follows: -- "Whereas the Ghamber of Com- merce and The Oshawa Daily Times have uffertaken a campaign with vided a fund of $4,000,000 to assist (the object of securing casual labor for men out of employment The Associated Welfare Societies hereby heartily endorse this cam- paign, and appeals to the citizens of Oshawa who are in a position to do 50, to give thelr strongest co-opera- tion to the effort being made to pro- vide casual work for the unemploy- ed." } The Church World-Wide Bishop and Mrs. Quinn, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Texas, had a very sad experience in going to the Lambeth Conference.
