days georgetown was incorporated an a village 60 years ago and is situat ed about the centre of the town ship of esquobidk this township derives its name from an indian term signifying tbe land of the tall pines the first settlers came to that part called scotch block in 1919 and two years laterthe population number ed 4 anon new year s day in 1881 tbe first town meeting was held at tbe house oooafinh standiah james prater was chosen town olerk joseph stands lab and thomas barbonr assessors thomas fyfe collector and chas kennedy and john stewart town wardens in the early days the township was governed by tbe justices or session and later by the gore district- oooncil the tipwn meetings were held at soon aa ttvtraa established mr tbos thompson opened a tavern on the 7th line about 1810 this was the only tavern between posts corners in trafalgar and ouelpb this may rive some idea oloonditions in the early days i may give yon some more details later on as to the township its people their trials their encouragements etc my object now is to tell yon some thing about oar own town george town the first settler name here in 1890 it was george kennedy and his family and it waa after him the place was named for it was known for yearn as hungry hotlow in 187 there were only three families marquis good now sylvester garrison and george kennedy however in an important event occurred for the future welfare of tbe place the arrival of barber bros the at once put upa woollen mill or carding mill in the flats at tbe foot of factory street aod later the paper mills at the credit tbe

occasion j patterson k c of toronto was introduced by tib chairman aod received with hearty applause after expressing pleasure at be ing present and seeing bo many young men in the gathering mr patterson delivered a splendid ad dress on tbe subject of steward ship and misaigns he said in part stewardship moans youth iddle age talent opportunity aod wealth onr lives should be spent in the service of god and man christ said do ye into all tbe world and p t gospelo every creature and jf rests with tbe young men to conquer the world for jesus christ this means greater missionary effort aod more money and power christian men dont get the same view point on this great question i come as a fellow christian an ordinary layman in an effort to summon up more power and inter est in this most important work christianity came to our ancestors from missionaries we are descend ed from christians and we are obligated to send christianity from our shores to the ends of the earth not merely to keep it at home if we cannot go as mis sionaries ourselves god expects us to do our part by contr bating to tho support of those who have gone to home and foreign fields there are more unbeheyers born in the hour than men and women made christians in the hour shalt we sit here and take the good things qtsl has given us and not support those who go qnd labor for tho upbuilding of hie king dom christ said to go have yon done it wa are all bank 6 god has deposited in ns hearts and talents to secure money it gods money we have god draws a cheque on ns for his own can we soy no funds t god wants part of that which he has given us ability to obtain are we going to honor his cheque god a com maud baa been going for 1900 years and it hasn t reached some peopleyet we are told in the bible to give as the lord has pros pered us if tbe lord was to prosper us according to our giving we would be a poor lot we should give until we feel it and he patriotic to tbe world at large it s a debt of honor we owe tt can t be sued bnt god help the wbo refuses to pay his debt of honor god puts ns on our honor and christian men are bon orable and will pay wbat god domaodp he wonts and expects he wants young men and women to commit themselves give some thing and help some one there is something higher than laboring tor earthly things rise up omen of god 1 have done with lesser things give heart and sou and mind and strength to serve the king of kings let s all 3o nobler better and happier things than ever before in a united effort to save the world for christ votes of thanks were
