Baptists hurr- t ied to the village from all parts i of Grey County and some even j from Toronto and Hamilton. i The reason for this extraordin- , ary interest in our village was I this: the Baptist church had 'â-  decided to set apart to the work ' of the Gospel ministry their i pastor, .Alfred James Preston. j Mr. Preston, who hails from Hamilton, first saw Flesherton i on Sunday, February 10th this year. The country looked vast- ly different then than it did on Friday last. The fields were white with snow and a blizzard was blowing, giving the visitor anything but a warm reception. 84Mficfa«w, however, his heart wiuxd up to Flesherton and h* decided to assume the lead- «niiip of the local church in the Lmrd^ work. Since being here mack success has rewarded his efforts. Souls have been won; three have been baptised and received into the membership of the church.
